promptly with lower-cost cars which

Just before the close of 1884 the

AUTOMOBILE WAKING
NOT LARGE PROBLEM
EXPERTS Now Claim That Too
Much Emphasis Is Placed
on Elbow Grease.

How to wax an automobile, in an
effort to preserve that show room
complexion. need not be the big
problem most car owners make of it..
Reassurances of this are given by
waxing experts who contend that too
much emphasis las been placed on
elbow grease and not enough on the
science of the work.
Years of experience has brought
many to the conclusion that most
car owners who attempt waxing make
the Job too hard by reason OF too
much rubbing This completely upsets
the generally accepted belief that
waxed body cannot be made to shine
without rubbing it until one is ex-

major thoroughfare items covered
during the last year and those pro-
posed for 1885. In addition, how
ever, we will carry on a small i'm
provement program to benefit locally.
We also propose the replacement of
numerous deteriorated streets; how
ever, the majority of them are more
OF local interest than general interest.
Additional projects Of a major

bridges, will be dependent upon the
provisions of the 1886 appropriation

The published announcement yesterday anent the closing of Settlers Village next Sunday at sundown brought 8 swarm of folk to the settlement today. They had been putting off their visit but realized the time was getting too short to postpone 1t any longer. This will be a record week at the village.
 Those bent on getting some of the pictures of the cottages at the village for Christmas gifts had better hurry for the supply is dwindling rapidly. The management is desirous, how ever, of fulfilling as many or- ders as possible.
 The village will be reopened next spring, bigger and better than ever, according to Jerry Donovan, public relations coun- sel for the Settlers Village cor- poration. There will be many new exhibits on display, and 8 series of programs for the week ends will be arranged to enter tain the guests.
 Those who entertain the idea that the tourists season Is over are slightly mistaken. A glance at the guest register at the vil- lage would convince them of that. Let's take . peep! Here wc find tourists from Ashville, No. Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; In- dianapolis, Ind; Milwaukee, Wis, Miami, Fla; Montpelier, Vt; Tampa, Fla; PetosIey, Mich; Lexington, Ky; and Pe- oria, HI. The aforegoing places were represented just yesterday.
