Thousand upon thousands of cow owners have already proved
this ststement; any experienced dairyman will verify it for you.
With such a big aavlng It la hard to understand why any cow
owner should try to get along without a De Laval Cretin Separator.
If you are selling cream or making butter, and have no
separator, or tlae an Inferior machine, we know If we could put
Da Laval on your place wa would be doing you a peraonal favor.
If yosj hsven't a separator don't make the mlatake of starting
with a "cheap" or Inferior machine. When you do buy a aeparator
aa sooner or Ister you surely will bo aure to get the best ibe
Da Laval. Remember, you can't make money by trying to save
money la the purchsse priee of a cream sepsrstor. A De Lsvsl
costs only a little more then the cheapest snd will ssve you twioa

ONTARIO HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Last month's report shows
several interesting figures.
There has been total enroll
ment of 50(1 which is 50 in ex
cess oi vue same unto last year.
Of this enrollment 22H are boys
and 27K are girls. The high
school stands out as champions
for tardy marks with 97 to its
credit, being more than all the
other rooms combined. The
tardy marks will be materially
reduced next month owing to
the activity of Mr. Haile by re
quiring personal excuses.
In Mr. Bailey's senior English
class, consisting of UH membera,
the attendance for two weeks
has been 100 per ceut. A rare
i it in .i in any school.
Owing to the crowded condi
tion of the west aide Bchool u
few children haveUeeu required
to cross the railroad to tl.ee..t
siue Softool- If pi.M',.1 until

more will be placed in tU tusl
side school. We feel this is not
working as great a hardship as
some would have us believe for
UM teachers are excellent, the
grounds ar large and with a
small"! number the children are
naturally bettnr cared for tlimi
is possible ui;der more crowded
conditions.

best of humor which wassugges
live of the good working coinii
turns u Inch are to be found in
all departments.
Mr. Peine reports the boy
basket ball team is getting down
to splendid work and all lovera
of clean athletics should make
it a point to attend the games

One of the most enjoyable uf
fairs that has taken place during

Complete electrification of tbe
motorcycle Is successfully aonom
pllsoed for tbe first time In the 1914
Indian models, which include an
electric starter, eleotrio lights, elec
trie signal and rear drive speedometer,
as tli" lesdlng feature amoog 38
betterments Incorporated In this fam
ous mske for tbe coming sesson. In
addition to being tbe pioneer ex
ponent of tbe electrically equipped
motorcycle tbe Indian Is alto tbe
first lo entry as stnudsrd equipment
mich a complete assortment of the
very latest accessories. By thea
two tremendous forward steps the
Indian maintains easily Its pride nf
place tlm long recognized fashion
arbiter .f the industry.
The Indian Electric Starter.
In the development of a successful
electric stnrter for arduous motorcycle
-j mi the I ml inn engineers equalled
their uii.it triumph of 101.1 tbe
('nolle Spring films. Tbe Inillnn
electric starter i a rowerful multipo
lar type motor generator, (mall, neat
and compact. It Is mounted on the
left side of the engine and alwaya
connected wltn it. Therefore, ahould
the rider stall tbe engine in t rattle or
in a arousing it can Instantly he re
started by throwing a swltob whlob
iiriogs the stsrter Into action.
Another decided advantage of the
Indian electric starter Is its bigb
operating speed, spinning the engine
at 500 r. p. in . so that the latter
begins firing very quickly after crank
ing commences and effecting a saving
In battery current. As soon as the
englnn begins running the stnrter
automatical! becomes a generator
and renewa the envegv taken from the
lotteries for starting, lighting signal
ing and ignition Tbe hattery equip
ment consists of two tats of specially
constructed blgh capacity units, lo
joi which might be oaneed by too
rapid charging or over charging is
prevented by a magnetic current regu
lator placed in the feed line. Arr
automntin cut nut prevents the bat
teries discharging through tbe starter.
Leakage of battery solution is pre
vented by special design vents, tbe
construction of which is patented.
Tbe Indian 1014 line will consist
of ssvsn solo models, aside car and a
quick delivery van. All machines
will be chain driven and six models
will mount twin engines of seven horse
power. As 00 per cent of tbe Indian
output of 35.000 maoblnea In 1013
was composed of twins. It isnnticipnt
ed hy tbe Heudee Alsmifnct;iring com
panv thst no less than 08 per ceut of
the tremendous output of (10,000 In
d inns for 1014 will be required to
meet tin. overwhelming populsr de
iiiimil for twin models. Befitting its
nsme, tbe 1014 Indian will, as usual.
In finished in red only.
Other 1914 Improvementa
Other features of the new modele
are: strengthened frames and forks
with drop lorged flttinga throughout,
longer wheel base, more secure engine
tautening, new cam deslgo. giving
Increase In power, heavier motor
sbafta aud inlet valve rocker arm

and Improved change gear control,
larger tires, new padded ssddles.

organ i-ii I inn hits perfected liana
whereby Indian users exclusively1,
wherever tbey msy be located, wilr
enjoy overnight service tbe oomlng
