14. (Special.) The river is higher
sow than It has been this spring. It
Is running out and covering all the
low land. The state ditch is raising
prHtty fast. The water Is running so
fast it is washing against the bank
and carving it off. It Is also caving
way under the bridge, making It
dangerous. Something ought to be
lone to stop ithe bank from caving off
minder the bridge, before It U too late.

THE .OFFICIAL MOTORCYCLE
of the Chicago Police Force
The Chicago Police Department is recognized as having the most efficient
staff of motorcycle patrolmen in the world.
Efficient,) ecause Excelsior Auto- Cycles are used exclusively.
The organization of the department was necessarily an experiment, but
the "X" the first machine used made good. ' .
Even the first tlueo machines pur-chased in 1903 are still in service
and are run on an average of 73 miles per dav. Not only is the excelsior used
exclusively by the City Police for patrol dutv, enforcement of speed law
emergency calls and messenger service, hut as well In- the South, West ami
Lincoln Park Systems for their various services.
Own a Machine Such as Chicago's Police Use.
You can learn a valuable lesson from the fact that the Chicago Police use
the Excelsior exclusively. For when you buv an "X" you buy reliability of
the very highest degree. ALL the machines" sold the Department are STILL
in its service. Chicago's police take no chances neither should you. Every
day the "X" is made to perform the m ost gruelling tasks. And it "alwavs
makes good."
