A friend of mine bought a lawn mower,
j ; I forget what he paid, but it was the
) j cheapest he could find.
; He cut his lawn twice, then took the
lawn mower to the repair shop.
Every time he finished mowing the grass
f the cheap machine had to go hack to the
repair shop to he sharpened or tuned.
"That's the most expensive lawn mower
II ever owned" he told me one day.
He had learned the lesson I've been
trying to teach people about motor cars.
And that lesson is the cheapest car is
often the most expensive. It pays enor
mously to pay a little more.
By paying $1090 for a Chalmers, for
example, you get a five-year car. A car
that will do everything you expect of it
for at least five years.
And at the' end of that time it will be
in fair condition.
The motor it's the famous 3400r.p.m.
Itwill never worry you. Never cause you
to lose your temper, '
For it has been tested in the hands of.
30,000 owners and found 99.21 percent
perfect.

mower attitude in buying motor cars

HIGH-SPEED MOTOR
j IN IE QUID
Manager "W. B. Taylor claims that
the Oakland car carries an exception
) ally high-speed motor and that in all
other respects it is the ideal automo
bile for practical service. Further
H"ai in. i
discussing the merits o' the car Mr.
Taylor says:
"As an example of advanced engi
neering practice the Oakland high
sped motor must attract your special
notice.
"The high cost of gasoline, and the
extravagant taxation on large bore
motors. that obtain throughout Europe
first brought forth ,'the idea of the
high speed motors.
"The first true example of this type
beginning of the 1914 season to meet
was adopted and developed in this
country by Oakland engineers at the
the new standards of efficiency.
"This season its successor is highly
developed and refined.
"The term "High Speed," applies
to the speed of the motor, not to the
speed of the car."

YELLOWSTDE TOUR
OF SCENIC BEAUTY
Trip Made by Eighty-five Mo
torists From Twin Cities;
New Roads Built for the
Occasion; Chalmers
The Pilot Car.
Piloted by the Chalmers Six-30
which blazed the Twin-Cities to
Yellowstone route two months ago,
sighty-five tourists in 27 motor car9
checked in at Gardiner and enrolled
as enthusisatic boostesr of the Na
tional Parks Highway.
Most remarkable among the fea.
tures of the tour was the fact that
many of the roads encountered had
been laid out almost over night. When
the Chalmers Pathfinder blazed the
trail in May. detours f,or washouts
were a mattor of course. Yet six
weeks later the big tour went through
on schedule over 1,200 miles of roads
closely skin to boulevards.
That .the Yellowstone tour opens a
route of infinite variety to American
motorists is conceded by all who made
the run. From time Minnespohs
dropped behind on the horizon until
Gardiner Gateway have In. view, the
tourists ran the whole gamut of
American topography. Lakes, plans,
mountains and valleys came In turn,
and the trip through the Bad Lands of
North Dakota and Montana proved
to be the most unusual and spectacu
lar eye opener to the Yankee tourist
in his home country.
Leaving Minneapolis on the morn
ing of Julv 20th, the tour quickly
proved to be a de luxe event instead
of a hardship. To boost the cause of
the National Parks Highway, the
Northern Pacific road had furnished
a special train which met the tourists
at the noon and night .controls. In
this train, equipped with two diners
and numerous Pullmans, the tourists
had their meals and slept comfor
tably at night. The train accmpain
ed the tour to Gardiner and there
awaited the completion of the five
day trip through the park Many of
the tourists shipped their cars to
Miiinneapolis and returned on the
SPNoon control on the first day was
at St Cloud. Minnesota, and the
lourists reached Staples late in the
afternoon. Commencing at Staples
and continuing throughout the tour,
a series of entertainments had been
arranged at every control and were
thoroughly enjoyed by the motorists
Passing through Detroit, the tour was
quartered at Fargo on the night of
julv 21st. Here President W .
Smith of the National Parks Highway
and secretary J. P. Hardy of the Far
go Commercial Club joined the tour
in President Smith's Chalmers Six.
From Fargo to Bismark, a 210 mile
run confronted the tourists. Any
doubt as to the condition of the roads
for so long a run were quickly dis
pelled when the fine trail through the
Irreat grain-producing belt west of
Fargo was traveled. Every car made
the schedule before 6 p. m. Into the
state capital. Here North Dakota s
chief executive, Governor L. B. Hanna,
added his Chalmers car to the rapidly
growing list of entries. The gover
nor's wife and family accompained
liini on the trip.

towns of Mandan, Glen Ullen, the tour

next rested at Dickinson, a city with
a live past, present and future. Just
west of Dickinson, the celebrated Bad
Lands, famed for the prediction that
motor cars would never penetrate
their fastnesses, awaited the tourists.
About eight miles from Dickinson
next morning, the cars entered this
fascinating region with Its irregular
bounderies and strange freaks of for
mation. Drained by the mud-laden
Little Missouri river, this section of
Uncle' Sam's domain is as unlike any
other stretch of American territory ns
sections of India or Africa. Press
agents have renamed the district
"Pyramid Park" but the collection of
flat-topped buttes, gorges and beds of
lignite coal will probably continue to
be called the Bad Lands for some
years to come. The name comes from
the cognomen applied by the Indians
and old voyageurs Bad Lands to
Travel Through. The tourists, how
ever found them excellent lands to
travel through and fen joyed the
scenery hugely.
At Medora, the capital of the Bad
Lands and the former homo of Theo
dore Roosevelt in his ranching days,
a double decked ceremony awaited
the visitors. In the morning Gover
nor Hanna officially dedicated the
new bridge over the Little Missouri
river, the last link in the National
Park Highway. Led by George Gard
ner, formerly with Buffalo Bill, a
band of cowboys formed the appro
priate body guard for the governor at
the ceremony. In the afternoon the
motorists attended the Frontier Days
show, a red letter date on Medora's
calendar, and had their first glimpse
of real western wranglers in action.
From Medora, the tour crossed over
Into Montana, stopping at Miles City
the next evening. The route through
Montana is extremely picturesque
and brought Into view the first real
mountains of the tour. Billings and
Livingston were the next night con
trols, both cities extending unlimited
hospitality. At Livingston, the
tourists were warned that gasoline
was selling for 60 cents a gallon
within the borders of Yelowstone
Park. Many took advantage of the
Information and carried an extra
supply of gas Into the Park. The
short trip from Livingston to Gardiner
through Yankee Jim's canyon and
interesting of thej entire tour. Heavy
rains rendered cautious traveling on
the steep mountain roads necessary,
but the cars pulled through without
mishap.
Retracing Its path over the route
laid out in May the pilot car led the
way through the highest points in
Yellowstone Park. Once within the
gateway, -the average altitude was
over 6,500 feet and-Jn crossing the
continental divide a , height of 8,265
feet was reached. Despite the great
er tendency of water to boil a high
altitudes, the Chalmer's cooling was
perfect, and it was possible to place
a hand on the. radiator without dis
comfort at all times.
Before passing' through the Gardin
er entrance to Yellowstone, the auto
mobile tourist pays Uncle Sam a fee
of $7.50. Each tourist must register
his name and address on entering and
leaving the park. Once in the park
he travels on an easy schedule which
permits him to see all points of Inter
est without undue haste. One glance
at the jolting, lurching oaches drawn
by horses, which for years have con
trolled traffic through the park, con
vinces the visitor that their days are
numbered. In the motor car the
tourist travels more swiftly and com
fortable and enjoys that privacy
which is impossible under the old re
gime. Restrictions on motor cars in
the park are a trifle irksome at the
present time, but new rules will un
doubtedly be made before another
season. Opened to automobllists for
the first time this season, record
numbers of motor cars have passed
through the Gardner Gateway. It is
not two much to say that next sea
son should see more tourists at Yel
lowstone than on the Ideal tour or
other eastern routes. The trip through
the land of geysers and canyons must
be seen to be appreciated.

Co-operation Proving Advan
tageous to the Good Roads
Project; No "Pork Bar
rel" Highway Officials
Pleased.
Motorists generally are sanguine
that the roads co-operation just es
tablished between the national gov
ernment and the several states will
accomplish a big step toward the evo
lution of a federal system of high
ways which "will connect the differ
ent sections of the country as effec
tively as the French plan of national
routes.
"The most refreshing feature of the
Federal Aid Road Act Is its freedom
from the taint of 'pork barrel," com
ments Chairman George C. Diehl of
the Good Roads Board of the Ameri
can Automobile association, which
worked so persistently for the mea
puro along with the American Asso
ciation of State Highway Officials.
"An automatic chock is placed upon
any raid on the United States trea
sury," continues the road authority,
"Jn requiring that the states must
match real federal dollar with at least
an equal amount. Of course, this
means that the state will n6t squander
Its money for makeshift construction
or repair. The law further guards
agaluBt 'pork barrel' by requiring all
of the co-operation to be between the
state highway departments and the
secretary of agriculture.' No political
official has any power over the work
at all, and It Is a credit to the 'mem
bers of congress that they have so
worded the act as to make the state

the county. The Federal Aid road
law is fundamentally as sound as any
measure that could be enacted, and
its only -weakness, other than those
oC a minor icharacter, Is in Its failure
to require iron-clad assurance from
the states that the roads will be
properly maintained. Abundant and
beneficlent results should flow from
this legislation during the next few
years."
Putting this great new policy into
operation involving an outlay of $85,
000,000 o government money has
made the U. S. office of. public roads
and rural engineering about the busi
est bureau here in the government
son-ice. While the Federal Aid road
law designates the secretary of agrl
I culture as the executive officer for
I carrying out the act, he will very
largely meet this requirement through
the' agency of the public roads office,
of which Logan "Waller Page is the
director.
The first step In getting the -work
under way -was. the issuance by the
secretary of agriculture of a formal
certificate to the secretary of the
treasury, the state highway depart
ments and the governors of states,
showing the exact amount which each
state will receive for the first year
of the law's operation. Rules and
regulations for the administration of
the act have been completed in ten
tative form, and these are to be dls
icussed with state highway, officials at
a conference to be held In Washing
ton, August 1C, so all of the states
may have an opportunity to set forth
their position with reference to each
and every point before the secretary
of agriculture adopts and promul
gates the rules and regulations in of
ficial form.
Expanding the organization to In
spect and safeguard the tremendous
expenditure of federal funds is a task
of no small magnitude, for while the
Federal Aid act leaves to the states
the making of surveys and plans,
and the actual supervision of the
work, yet it requires of the federal
government very thorough inspection
and approval at every stage of the
work. This means that a relatively
large force of engineers must be em
ployed, and their distribution so ax
ranged as to take care of projects In
all parts of the country with the
rrrpnlpnf. rinRRihlo pnonnmif nP llmo anrl
money, consistent with efficiency.
Many appointments will be made from
an examination for the position of
senior highway engineer that iclosed
August 8.
"As examples of the multitude of
details that must be worked out,"
says Mr. Page. "I might mention that
we are called upon to answer hun
dreds of inquiries covering every
phase of the operation of the new
road law. Wo must establish an
adequate accounting organization for
handling the federal expenditures, and
to keep track of the joint state and
federal outlays; we must expand our
filing system; see that all doubtful
points of law are construed by the
law officers of the government, and
we must work out all of the forms
and procedure to expedite the co
operation between the state highway
departments and the department of
agriculture. In spite of these many
vexing details and the magnitude of
the undertaking, us a whole, we ex
pect to have acual road work under
way in at least a few of tho states be
fore winter sets in."

CM BEAT II TURTLE
Manager A. W. Schooler of the Ap
person Auto Motor Gar company of
this city is very modest in Mb-praises
of the Apperson car. but ho elves
some very convincing facts respecting
its merits. He states that all stand
ard made cars are good, but that some
are a little bettor than other, among
them being the Apperson.
Mr. Schooler rather factlously com
pares the movement of his car with
the turtle, saying the Apperson does
not have to take nearly as many
steps In a mile as that crawling ani
mal. He says that the Turtle takes
31,680 steps in a mile, the Apperson
makes It with only a comparatively
few strokes of the cylinders. The
1917 eight clips off a mile in fast
time, much faster than tho average
motorist cares to travel.
"We had every right to be proud
of the eight cylinder Apperson car
offered a year ago," says Mr. School
er, "and we are doubly proud of tho
Apperson of all cylinders as it is made
today. Tho eight cylinder car of to-
day is the equal of the best eight "H
cylinder car you may have In mind
no exceptions are made. Ever since
the first job was turned out a year
ago, we have been on the lookout for
every conceivable thing which would fH
help to give the car the position it
deserves."
