AUTOMOBILE TALK.
You may talk about tests and
"farts'’ as much as you please but
when you come to make the real
test of an automobi|e you must look
to the motor. No car on the mar-
ket is any better that its motor.
That is the first thing you should
consider. Of course the material In
tiie wheels and body must be able
to stand up with the motor to have
a well balanced automobile. That
| is the reason we call attention to
the Chevrolet motor. This is a
valve-in-head motor given up to he
the best in existence. The secret
of Its economic operation is in the
cylinder bore. It is possible to de-
velop a little power by the explo-
sion of a little gas in a large spare
hut this same amount of gas ex-
ploded in a smaller space develops
a great deal of power. That Is one
reason why the Chevrolet may be
economically used. This motor also
has an oil pump that insures a cir-
culation of the lubricating oil and
keeps every part of (lie motor well
oiled. Come in and examine it.

wm. WEEK OBSERVANCE '
PLEADED^FOR SOCIETt
Members of the Kllis County Hu-
mane’ society assembled at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms Wed-
nesday afternoon and Indulged In a
discussion of the things for which
the society Is working. Miss Ora
Miller serretnrV made report of a
number of complaints made to her
concerning cruelty to animals and
nejflect of children. It was the pur-
pose of those present to make nn
effort to hH\e Humane Sunday ob-
served here If the pastors of the city
show a willingness to co-operate
The Humane society stands for
many things besides the mere cru-
elty to animals one of the greatest
works being child welfare.
This Is "He kind to animals week"
and members of the society had
hoped to do a little something to
impress this idea upon the people.
It had been hoped that some appro-
priate address could be bad at the
public schools and If possible have
the Sunday service either at a num-
ber of the churches or in one union
service.
Miss Miller offers the following
tribute to the horse taken from the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
"Here’s to that bundle of sentient
nerves with the heart of a woman
the e>es of a gazelle the courage of
a gladiator the docility of n slave
the proud carriage of a king and
the blind obedienco of a soldier;
the companion of the desert plain
that turns the moist furrows in the
spring in order that nil the world
may have abundant harvest that
furnishes the sport of kings that
with blazing eye and distended nos-
tril fearlessly leads our greatest
generals through carnage and re-
nown whose blood forms one of the
ingredients that go to make the Ink
in which all history is written and
who finally in black trappings
pulls the humblest of us to the new-
ly sodded threshold of eternity.’’
