munity Fair committee the members

Ben Sydow, Art Lund, and Roy CleW-
lit. From these five the members
chose Hans Christensen as chairman,
and Jimmie Caldwell as treasurer.
These men hold office for a period OF
one year, and upon them rests the
burden of abuse. They will handle
affairs, and will be assisted by their
fellow-directors and the remaining
members of the Fair committee. They
ask for your help in every way, and
invite you to be present at their next
meeting, Friday, Aug. %. They will
be happy to have you offer your serv-
ices in any way, either for the day OF

find it nearly impossible to erect the
stands, cut the grass, arrange eX-
hibits, handle the sports, decorate the
gym, take care of the lunch, etc., AND

thing, and clean up. Your offer Of
services will be gladly accepted, ever

NO CONSIDERATION FOR LAW
BREAKERS

Two poachers shot and killed a
deer out near the Neumeyer corner
on Monday morning. This happened
about 5:15. They Immediately made
away with the deer and continued on
with the journey. Game wardens
were on their trail before the day
was over. The meat had not been dis
covered up to last reports and hence
no prosecution was possible, but the
guys were just as guilty as if they
had been caught. The public should
shun people who do these things.
They are entitled to no consideration
whatever and when they come to a
mans place seeking work, they should
be turned away. We need honest peo-
pie in the territory, but none such as
this.

new NON-CLARE
SHIELD LIKED

The new Fisher non-glare wind
shield, set at an angle which pre-
vents annoying and dangerous
reflections from striking the motor
lists eyes during night driving, rep
resents an important safety feature
OF the Oakland Eighth and the
New Series Pontiac Big Six.
This type Of windshield recently
was perfected by the Fisher Body
Corporation after many months OF
intensive research and laboratory
work az the General Motors Prov
ing ground.
After extensive experiments with
light reflections on many types
and designs 81 windshield, the Fish
er engineers finally discovered that
the reflections would fall safely
below the drivers line Of vision
when the windshield was set at all
angle Of seven degrees.
In addition to its n~on-glare fea-
ture. the new windshield retains
all the original advantages OF un-
o~bstructed vision and scientific
ventilation originally developed by
Fisher. The seven degrees angle
has been achieved with no increase
in the diameter OF the front body
pillars at points where the vision
or the driver might be obscured.

Part Of Modern Auto

1t Is a well known fact that a

more than If expended for other
merchandise. figuring on 1914 val

sI.13 worth Of automobile today.
while the same dollar buys only
So cents worth OF living necessities,
due to changing values during the

One Of several reasons why this
favorable condition exists Is TO be
found in the tool design department

Here, behind the scenes. men are
ceaselessly striving TO find new
manufacturing methods which will
perform operations to still closer
limits with speed and economy SO
that better cars may be produced

ARE POPULAR
'Forties' Built on Short

General Public

That the series 40 Buick. the
bhortest wheelbase OF the three
Buick series. is q great public fav-
orite. Is proven by a recent ON
pilation Of sales figures which show
this popular series Is outselling
every other a in the field with
the exception Of four smaller and

ager OF the Buick Motor Company.
The Buick "forties" are built on
a 1l6 inch wheelbase and are short
only in comparison with the long,
er wheelbases Of the other two
Buick series. This smaller series
IS powered with the standard 8O.5
horsepower Buick motor. and, ex-
cept FOR size, is identical with the
bigger Bucks in the so and 60
series.
In explaining the high sales rec
ord Of the smaller Bucks. Mr.
Churchill attributed much OF their
popularity 70 the low price range
in which the series is old.
The six models in the 40 series
give Buick a price range that makes
Buick ownership possible to nearly
everyone" he said. Naturally, op-
Grating costs are proportionately
lower on the shorter wheelbase SER
les and this is another reason WHY
the series 40 ars constituted As per
per cent Of the total Buick sales
last year"

cheering principles are embodied

out.
Nobody would think OF driving
around with q cylinder or two not

ly be safer and no more expensive
than TO drive around with one

London Is Becoming
Cliff-Dwellers' City

Construction Of great blocks OF
apartments in London. resulting In
great changes in street architecture,
continues, though there are signs that the
supply of luxury apartments is reach
ing the saturation point. The number
of persons who can afford to pay from
$500 to $4,000 q year is strictly lin
tied, official statistics show, but there Is
as great q demand as ever for the we'll
to-do middle class nat at 81 1000 or
81 500. The section recently built by
the Metropolitan Railway at Baker
street station, known as Chiltern court,
at present snowy mountain Of Port
land stone, contains $50 flats of great
variety, but designed on the whole for
the niiddle-class family. One economic
reason for the stimulated fiat building
is that, owing to service and other con-
tingencies. people are giving up country
homes. Another class of tenant Is the
American business man who shuttles
between here and New York, and pre-
fers q fiat rather than to use hotels. An
enormous apartment house block Is be-
ing built opposite Chiltern court, and
this part Of London Is being rapidly
converted from region of odd squares
and quiet streets into zone Of busting
