Tho con signments by Frank Brown are by his famous grand champion bull, Diamond's Perfection. W. B. Ayer, owner of Foothills Farm, Carlton, Oiegon, consigns ono of his famous milking strain Shorthorn bulls. The Brook Nook Shorthorns are ono of tho best bred lots of cattle in tho west. They trace in shoit lines to foundation animals from the William Warfield herd of Ken tucky, and any man familiar with Shorthorn history knows the high quality of these blood lines. Til is is a most uauxual salo In several respects. All but ten of the animals aie cows and heifers and 2 3 of the cows have calves at foot. It Is a truly wonderful opportun ity to get a foundation herd and start breeding registered Short horns. SIioi thorns with the rugged ncss and individuality that these animals show and backed by such rich breeding are the kind that it pays to use for foundation pur-p-oses. Tho sale Is to bo held at Craiglelea Farm, one mile west of Carlton, Ore gon, on Wednesday, October 1. To get to Carlton, take the 7:15 or the 10:00 a. m. train from the union depot, Portland.

France Beckons to Motor Tourists When Flood Gates Are Open (By Daniel Au'.o Co., Distribu tor of the Auburn Beauty-Six.) "Franco looks for half a million visiters from America within a year from the time the flcod-gr.tcs are opened. .Monsieur Auschor of the Touring Club of Franco and Mon sieur Dula Forest ji the Club do Cent, the two greatest French au thorities, have said so." This is the comment of Francis Miltoun in the August number of Motor Life. -Mr. Miltoun adds, "I feel safe in saying that out of the half million expected, two hundred thousand will travel through Fiance in motors." Motor routes thiough the usual tourist region, as well us In Alsace and tho American battlefields, have been laid out and already British cars are travelling tho Fionch high ways. Were it not for the handicap of distance American motorists would undoubtedly bo touring France. With the growing populailty of motor touring, many of the medium sized American automobiles will doubtless be found traversing the roads of France. Gasoline is ex pensive abroad, and the low fuel consumption of tho lighter cur will add to its practicality. Of the medium-sized cars now ex hibited the Auburn Beauty-Sixes both the touring and closed models are among the most attractive. They have all the advanced touches of 1920 design plus an envlublo in dividuality. The bodies are beau tifully built and finished with rare elegance The closed cats have but recently been added to tho Beauty-Six lino.

Oldsmobile Trucks Prove Economy in Hauling of Grain During the past week Chase Boh netikamp has been pretty busy .dem onstrating the p.Tislhllitlo.s of the Oldsmobile Economy truck, which ho is selling. A few days ago he took two of tho trucks to Intbler for a practical grain hauling test. These two trucks, together with Will Glenn's Oldmoblle, had no difficulty in taking care of the wheat just as fast as it came from the machine. This job has formerly required from five to six teams and drivers. Kv eryono who witnessed the demon stration was satisfied that it would only be a short time until nearly all of the farmers would be using trucks to handle their wheat, in stead of the numerous teams and wagons which havo been necessary heretofore. Chase also performed a hill climb ing stunt with the Olds truck, of which he Is particularly proud. Inas much as ho had been unable to find any use for the truck' which teemed to require any considerable portion of Its power he started out to look for one. The Deal Canyon road has the reputation -of being probably the steepest road In this section and is one which has only been cliuibeil by the best and most powerful tour ing cars. In fact for every car Hint has made 'this climb there has been twenty that failed. The Olds; mobile truck climbed, this grade with esse, carving a load of over a ton, wbiie doing so. Chase is now looking for more hi.lls to conquer. lence that characterized the open models. The riding comfort afforded by the medium-sized car, Bkllfully con stucted, is exemplified In the Uoau-ty-Slx. The Auburn engineers have seemed a gliding, easy, forward motion by the use of unusirilly loici semf-clliptic springs of selecto 1 al loy. Sidesway has been reduced to a minimum.
