AGENTS WANTED. , many makes of cars from America and Europe and won the honors on its excellent showing including the most advances in automobile manu facture. The Cadillac, handled by W. H. Bohnenkamp Co., features among other things this year the two speed axle which smoothens the run ning and cuts down the gasoline used nearly one-third and also reduces the friction a great deal, the demonstra tors say. It has many features. Among them are the folding steering wheel and tilting front cushion which allows a lady to be helped into the front seat from the curb without the inconveniences of other makes. There are no freakish features, which large ly helped that car to win the Royal trophy; it is the only American car to win it, and the only car anywhere to win it twice. The car is built for service, comfort and stylish appear ance. The first car received in La Grande of this make and model was sent to Fhillip Conley of Cove, and another car is expected soon.

The big Y ran 22 miles on a quart of gasoline. A ma-chine built for economy, speed, en durance and pull. : i Is the Yale Motorcycle a winner? To be a winner it must have power, endurance and speed, it must be able to save fuel, to run in any kind of weather, to be dependable. The Yale does and is all of that and more. The motorcycle Club of Lincoln, Neb., held a motor cycle test. Each rider was given a quart of gasoline. A YALE RIDDEN BY GUMBLE WENT FAR THER THAN ANY MULTIPLE CY LINDER MACHINE IN THE CON TEST. Twenty-two miles on a quart of gasoline. Can you beat that? That means 88 miles per gallon. That means TWO TENTHS OF A CENT PER MILE. That means a heap of usefulness at little cost. We say other machines are good, wo admit all they claim for them, but when you are in the market for a machine, don't you want the ma chine that wins in big contests? Don't it mean that the winner has the stuff In it that makes it superior? The two speed Yale, don't forget that the two speed Yale, the two speed Yale that starts on low gear from a stand still with the same ease as an auto mobile, that plows through mud and climbs hills. Look at other machines, that's your privilege, -test them but when agents have said and done all, when they have told you that their ma chine is the best on the market, they have not told you the truth, and they can't afford to tell you that the big Y, the two speed Yale, is a powerful, speed demon, a gasoline saver, and perfection in motorcycles. All we ask is a call and the car will speak for itself. I hold the agency for this car and will willingly show you the ins and outs of motorcycle making. ROY BARTHOLEMEW.
