Buick Dealers
Meeting at Minneapolis.

John Koshak, Jr., Ely Buick dealer,
left Tuesday for Minneapolis, where he
will attend meeting of dealers
throughout this area, launching the
1888 program of the Buick division of
General Motors.
Accompanying Mr.. Koshak are Axel
Melartin member of his sales staff. The
local men will hear the Buick manu-
featuring and sales program for the
coming year and will view the COM
plete line of new cars, which it is said
will be announced publicly some time in
October.
According to Mr.. Koshak, the pro-
gram of the meeting will include adj
dresses by Harlow H. Curtice, Buick
president, and W. F. HufStader, general
sales manager, and presentations by C.
A. Chayne, chief engineer, and Thos.
H. Corpe, director of advertising and
sales promotion. The latter executives
will cover engineering phases of the
new cars and advertising and sales pro-
motion plans, respectively.
cessful year and is laying ambitious
plans for 1885," Mr.. Koshak said.
Figures from the factory show that
more than 100000 cars were delivered
during the 1887 model year, gain of
more than 80 per cent over 1886, and !
understand that increased schedules are
in effect for 1888.
Locally, we have enjoyed one of the
best volumes we have ever experienced
and look for good increase in bust
ness next year."
Mr.. Koshak said that production al
ready is well under way on the new
models and that quick retail delivery
will be possible. He said demand so far
exceeded ability of the Buick factories
to produce the 1887 models that a
shortage of cars existed and deliveries
to customers were in some cases de-

ISL Drivers in August
Lose Right to Use Cars

Characterizing the increase in Min
neSota drivers license revocations from
80 during August, 1886, to Isl during
August this year as ''the fruits OF
stricter enforcement" Gil Carmichael
director of the drivers license unit of
the state highway department, this
week made public his roundup" re-
port for August.
The fact that suspensions dropped
from 80 for August just passed to 81
for August, 1886, was advanced as adj
ditional evidence that courts and Off
GERS are less inclined to show the fool
hardy, death-dealing driver sympathy
Every revocation in August, the re-
port disclosed, was for driving while
intoxicated. Hennepin county led with
%, st. Louis was next with 81 and
Ramsey third with Is. Mower county
officials denied the use of cars to five
drivers. During the month only one
woman had her license revoked.
For the year to Sept 1, Carver, Clear
water, Hubbard, Murray, Nicollet, Red
Lake and Wilkin counties have had no
drivers license revocationS for any
cause. For that period, 1913 Hennepin
county motorists lost their licenses OF
the 300 cards taken away this year
1914 were for drunken driving, 10 for
failure to stop and disclose identity
two for manSlaughter and the re-
mainder for felonies. The greatest
number of offenders were from 81 to
80 years old. For the three years and
eight months the drivers license unit
has existed it has reported 3,162 revo-
cations, 3,O42 for drunk driving.

This concentrated low-cost food
is an excellent source of minerals,
particularly calcium, a superior
type protein, a concentrated source
of energy and valuable source of
vitamin A.
Creamy cheese sauce adds de-
lightful flavor and color to the
tempting eggs and celery. The
sauce is made with butter. The
recipe calls for American cheese.
A double boiler is ideal for max
ing sauces. Melt the butter in the
top of the double boiler and stir in
-four until well blended. Stir in hot
milk gradually to prevent Jumping.
II cold milk is used, add all at
once. Stir slowly but steadily over
direct heat until sauce thickens.
Season, place over hot water and
simmer 20 minutes. Add grated
cheese, stirring until it is melted.
Cover tightly until ready to serve
so that a crust will not form on
the surface. Otherwise the top
crust will give lumpy appearance
to the sauce. If sauce becomes too
thick, thin to proper consistency

Manufacturing Tractors

tractor manufacturing is pretty much

these two brothers have, in aSmall way

Sive tractors which sell at from $3.50 to
5000. OF course, the machines are
homemade. That is to say, they are
constructed from second hand auto
mobile parts, each tractor being diff
ferent with exception of one standard
feature, that each of the twenty trac-
tors now in use in this community &C
tually works. Some of the tractors
have Chevrolet motors, others a Star
motor, and still others a Buick motor.
Many of the tractors, especially those
built from parts from a light car, have
two differentialS to give them the
power needed in the fields.

Car Crashes Into
House, Unddmaged

Sleepy Eye-Crashing into board
wall, one of the attractions that often
heads a fair program, would be con-
sidered practically nil to the sedan
owned by Fred Remus, which can crash
into house without causing any
damage of consequence. Remus drove
the sturdy vehicle into the elevator
driveway at Sleepy Eye one day last
week, but forgot to set the brake be-
fore he got out. The car started down
the incline, sped across the street, and
into the side of a residence. The
screen door on the house was damaged
and few dents marred the siding, but
otherwise damage was small The car
was little the worse for its runaway.

Country People LiUe
Longest, Studies ShOU

Some new light has been thrown re-
Gently onto the question of how to live
to a ripe old age.
A study commented upon today by
members of the Public Health Educa-
ton Committee of the Minnesota Pub
lie Health Association shows that nearly
three-fourths of the men and women
past eighty years old live in the country
On the other hand, large proper
ton of the young men and women who
die of heart disease before they have
achieved the age of sixty live in large
cities.
The doctors point out, of course, that
one of the important factors in the
attainment of long life is also line
of long-lived forebears. Inheritance is
naturally beyond the control of the in
dividual; but it is obvious that living
conditions play a considerable part;
otherwise the proportion of octogenar-
ians would be much the same in the
city as in the country. Country life ap-
pears not to be so hard on the heart
as the stresses of city life judging by
the results of this study.
Among the other factors that have
an unquestioned influence on length of
life is body build. The great majority
OF OctogenarianS was of a lean body
build in comparison with those who
died of heart ailments under sixty. The
latter were generally overweight.

Finds Natural Spring
In Basement of Home

Bemidji-"It's dandy spring." says
Phil Mcclellan of the natural spring
which sent pure, cool water bubbling
into the basement of his home while he
began digging drain. Heavy rains of
last week had filled the basement of
the Mcclellan home on Boston lake,
north of Puposky, to depth of five
or six inches. The house stands more
than IL feet above the level of the lake,
so Mcclellan decided he would dig a
drain and let the water run into the
lake. After discovering the spring, Nc
Clellan had to install drain to get rid
of the excess spring water.

CANNES, sharing that honor with the
mastiff and Irish wolfhound. It
stands high in dogdom because of
its antiquity as breed and its ex-

Scotland, which is small coun-

ering paradox is explained that they
rise from sea level so that the full
majesty is visible to the eye, giving
the appearance of great heights.

Fading Themes.

Social problems always have been USE
full to novelists. Most of the great ro-
mances of modern times have conferred
about one or another of the sins of q
system of life admittedly far from per-
feet. Victor Hugo indicted the wicked
police; Charles Dickens the boarding
schools. imprisonment for debt and "the
laws delay; Tolstoy militarism; Harriet
Beecher Stowe chattel slavery; Frank
Norris the stock market; Upton Sinclair
the meat packing industry; Sinclair
Lewis the faults of small-town hy-
pocrisy. and Theodore Dresser the snug
ness OF big-city responsibility.
But some Of these problems have been
solved. For example, Margaret De-
lands story John Ward, Preacher"
could not be written today. It's theme
has been outmoded by the development
OF a negative kind of tolerance which
has retired Calvinism to oblivion. Again,
George Eliot's Daniel Deronda" is tedi-
GUS reading in a period when institutions
founded on tradition and individualism
have been rejected by celebrates turned
frankly opportunistic. The same OBJ
servation may be suggested with regard
to Henry James once theoretically scan
dalous DAISY Miller"-it would not

vorite issues of Ibsen, Hardy. Shaw and
Wells have declined. Written to revolu-
tionize, their works already are out OF
date Perhaps they served their pur-
pose and to that degree destroyed them
selves.
The question now is: What next? The
reformers have had their innings. It
would seem natural for the so-called
reactionaries to demand their chance.
A turn in the tide, then, may be ex-
pected. How soon it will come, of course,
cannot be specified The principle in
volved Is that of attraction. Men and
women OF thoughtful and sympathetic
intelligence are drawn to the drama of
human existence, feel an irresistible
urge to employ its materials creatively.
The result is art, first radical in effect
and later conservative. Logically enough,
the impact upon the public conscience
follows tardily The policies of nations
and Of parties usually are a full genera
ton behind the prophets Allowing for
the time element accordingly, the cur
rent era OF experimentation will begin
to terminate when literature reflects
flctional criticism OF 1t.

Carnett VS.. Big Fellows.

A few days after Justice Proctor de-
plored, from the bench, the number of
small fry brought into court on gambling
charges and asked why the police did
not catch the big fellows behind the
racket, United States Attorney Garnet
has launched series of raids designed to
catch the big fellows. If convictions are
as successful as the raids and more
master minds are sent to join Sam Beard
and others in Leavenworth, Mr.. Garrett
can cut some more notches in his gun.
He has been an unusually effective oppo-
nent OF the gambling racket
The connection between the remarks
OF Justice Proctor and the raids was
purely coincidental. The raids were
carefully planned over long period OF
time. The instructions were detailed, the
evidence sought was infinitely described,
extraordinary precautions were taken
against leak. The success of the raids
in spite of the leak was fortunate, but
that should not prevent thorough inves-
tigation to determine source of the leak
and proper reprimand of the laxative
offender.

for repeal an equally firm declaration
against communism and the advocacy OF
communism or other subversive doc
trines. It thus removed the contention
that vote for repeal of the rider can
correctly be interpreted as favoring or
condoning communism and its advocacy.
That is the contention which now
seems to stand between repeal of the
rider and continuation of its mis-
chievous nuisance in another form.
Member after member of the House has
deplored the original enactment of the
red rider, but has expressed the fear that
outright repeal would be analogous to
con0oning that which it now prohibits.
Such stand indicates an undeserved
lack of respect and confidence for the
Board of Education and the loyal Ameri-
cans who teach in the public schools. It
has no tangible basis. Nor does it have
any legitimate connection with the ques-
ton of repeal of the red rider.
The rider should be repealed. If there
is a predominant fear that such repeal
would in effect condone the future ad-
vocacy OF communism or other such
doctrines in the schools, the statutory
ban against such advocacy should be
written into substantive law, made to
apply generally to the Government serv-
ice. But that ban should be severed
permanently from its unnatural union
with an appropriation bill and its op-
probrious discrimination against teachers
should be removed. In other words, re-
peal is the first step. Compromise, If
demanded as necessary, can follow re-
peal.

Repeal Comes First.

At the close of the first conference on
the red rider the House managers were
represented as having argued the case
Tor the pink rider" compromise while
the Senate conferees were adamant in
their twice-voted demand for uncondi-
tional repeal. Further conferences are
thus required. But endless conferences
will leave unchanged the fact that I'M
conditional repeal OF the red rider is the
only sensible method of bringing an
end to controversy that has lasted too
long, and that if there is to be any sort
OF compromise, outright repeal is the
only condition on which such compro-
mise should be based. The so-called
pink rider" is in reality no compromise.
