There are to be novelty races, straightaway contests, and races against time. There will also be mo torcycle and btcycle races. In many of the races the contest ants will ' run one at a time, either running a specified distance or for a certain length of time. But the thrillers will be scratch contests be tween experienced drivers in which they will start side by side and fight to the fiulsh. ' In other races cars will be started an equal distance apart and the excitement will be to see which ear will gain on the other.

YOU HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT THE EXPENSE OF AUTOMOBILE UPKEEP. THIS IS CAUS ED BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT OWN THE RIGHT KIND OF A CAR, AND THE UPKEEP QUES TIN IS A SERIOUS ONE TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU BUY. ' HERE IS A STATEMENT OF FACTS THAT CAN BE VERIFIED TO THE LETTER THREE YEARS AGO THE M. AND M. COMPANY PURCHASED AN "E-M-F 30" FOR A DEMONSTRAT ING CAR. IT HAS HAD ROUGH USAGE DURING THE THREE YEARS HAVING BEEN DRIV EN ALL OVER UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES AND MANY TRIPS INTO BAKER COUN- ' TY. THERE NEVER HAS BEEN A TIME WHEN IT REFUSED TO RUN NO MOTOR TROU BLES NO GEAR TROUBLES NO TROUBLES OF ANY KIND WHATSOVER AND THE UPKEEP HAS NOT COST A CENT OUTSIDE OF THE OIL IT HAS CONSUMED- AND ONE NEW SET OF TIRES WHICH WERE PUT ON AFTER THE FIRST SET HAD BEEN WORN OUT FROM CONSTANT USAGE TODAY THAT CAR IS BEING REPAINTED, AND IT RUNS AS TRULY AS IT DID THE FIRST DAY ON THE ROADS. WHEN ANYONE TELLS YOU REPAIR BILLS ARE HEAVY ON A CAR SEND THEM TO US AND WE WILL CONVINCE THEM THAT SUCH IS NOT THE CASE WHEN THE E. M F IS USED. IT IS THE CAR THAT STANDS THE TEST AND NEVER FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE OWNER'S TOUCH. CALL AND SEE THE CAR MENTIONED ABOVE THAT HAS NOT COST A CENT IN REPAIRS. n i .a ; j ' '. f: -I f O t .;, f '
