He is at present attending to affairs on his farm which be owns near here. s the cooler and damn wthr begins to descend upon us it Is Known ract that the car owners will begin to have iKnttlon trouble. So it's time now, according to lr. urey at trie Western Auto Supply company for people to begin., to look aftfer their timers, spotlights, ignition wires, coll covers, etc. Then too due to the shorter days. many of the drivers will have to do traveling in the dark and at n Ik lit. So more than ever is It important that these same . drivers see that they have spotlights and good ones ror tnelr own protection and the. protection of others while driving. The new DeLuxe brouehnm Is the model which is going stronw right now, according to Homer Bringle, local Jewett dealer. "Com blned with the proven motor with which the Jewett Is powered, the new DeLuxe brougham body on the fcturdy Jewett chassis makes this model in the line worth of out selling its contemporaries as well as its competitors," says Mr. Drin- gle. "Sedans, touring cars, and road sters have long met the popular de mand for individual motor car transportation but only recently have the superior ' points of the two-door brougham type of con struction been brought home to the public," he added. In outlining some of the outstand ing good points of the brougham Mr. Bring! e mentioned the color combination, that has been termed soft, cool autumn green. Then there are the landau arms at the back of the car which give It the appearance of a real aristocrat. The upholstery Is a fins grade of v el our, picked to work into the general color combination, And not to be forgotten are the balloon tires which add so much to the riding comfort of the brougham. And last but not least is the Jewett motor which the car has, and also the Jewett chassis. We all agree that these numerous points go to make the car a most attractive one, and a good seller too H. Hathaway, local Dodge 5t dealer, announced this week at the Eugene Farmers' Creamery ! purchased a new Dodge Bros. ten delivery truck of three-quar- i ton size. rom Mr. Hathaway we heard an irtsting story this week on the mm Bros, trucks.

Fugene's motor Industry In Its rapid strides ahead sees many in teresting changes, and a change of particular interest this past week was that of Ray O'Donaell taking over the management ot the Bangs garsif on IVarl street. Workmen have been busy all this week remodeling the place Into a most up-to-date garage, putting in new flooring, and fixing things up in general. Mrv O'Donnell has been the offi cial dealer for the Packard auto mobiles in Eugene tor the past two years, and will continue with this line of cars In his new place of business. He will also conduct a general Packard service and repair department as well as a general garage with oil and similar serv ices. The place opened under its new management on tttfs past Monday. DAVIS HOLDS LEAD I VOTES-SHAVER WASHINGTON, Se$t, 13. Confl denes that the presidential election will be decided in favor of John W. Davis ia the electoral college and will not be thrown Into congress, finished 'We want to remind the car owni era to get their wind-shield wipers and their auto top dressings now in order that they will not be caught in the more steady rainy period un prepared," say they at the Mack's Auto Supply company this week. The Eugene Storage Battery com pany has been busy this week get ting settled in its new home on Pearl street. ' It didn't take them long to fix things around though, for every thing has a place In its own depart ment, and customers will find no trouble in driving in and getting what they want. At the entrance on Pearl sreet to the right is the office. On the left is the electrical department where all electrical equipment Is kept and ' repaired. Here will 'bet found the starting motors and supplies, spotlights, ig nition units, magnetos, generators, and electrical horns. And the elec trical supplies are for all makes or cars. In the rear ot the building, oc cupying a large area of space. Is the battery department, where all batteries can be recharged, repair ed, ajd fixed up In general. And,-! of course, Willard batteries have a section to temselvea. We were all interested this week to hear about the large new ship ment of radio batteries which the Eugene Storage Battery company received for fall business. And we expect to hear more about them later. Remember, if your carburetor is properly adjusted and la in good working order your gasoline mile age troubles will be reduced. It's not a bad thing to remember that while the engine Is stilt warm it is the time to drain the .crank case. was expressed In a statement by Clem L, Shaver, tfhairman of the democratic national committee, "It is 3ust as well," he said, "to get rid at once of the nonsensical notion being spread by republicans that Coolldge is the lading candi date and that it is necessary to vpt for him to keep the election out of congress. Just the reverse is true." Claiming 204 "sure votes" far the democratic candidate and conceding only 138 in that category for the president, Mr. Shaver asserted: "If the voter were to cast his ballot from the sole motive of keeping the election out of the house he would vote for the candidate who had the largest number of sur votes and that candidate would be John W. j Davis, No candidate even ap-1 proaches him in the number of- sure1 votes." , Dnvls Gets Sonlb "There has not been a single es timate by those engaged In carry ing the election now with their pads and pencils which had not conceded the vote of tl:e southern states to Davis. That means that Davis starts with one hundred and thirty nine certain votes in the electoral college. "iiut there are other states that Davis will carry, 'although they are not listed in the Davis column of southern states. They represent a total of 65 votes la the electoral college giving Davis a total of 204 sure votes, without counting the doubtful and normally republican states. , "The minimum claim of friends' of Senator LaFolletto gives him 35 electoral college votes. Adding these to the JLa,via vote of 204, in a k os a total of 239 votes that Coolidge cannot get. If this num ber is substracted from the total vote of 631 in the electoral college, it leaves 232 out of which Coollgc must get 266, which gives him a safety margin, of only 2ff. Coolidge Xeeds Many "The so-called solid republican states, which can he listed as reas onably sure for Cooliclge have a representation of 133 In the elector al college. Coolidge therefore needs 1128 more to get the necessary 268. Substracting his reasonably sure 13 from 292 the votes not certain for either Davis or La Foil et is leaves 154 from which his addition al 123 will have to come. "In other words Davis will have to get only CI votes out of the doubtful states (the group having I5 votes) -whereas, Coolidge will have to gat 128. OLDS COUPE PUT OUT IN 1 VARIETY OF BODY FINISHES To meet the demands caused by the growing and diversified uses which the two passenger coupe type of automobile Is successfully fill ing, the Olds Motor Works, Lan Ing, Mich., has started to produce the coupe in a variety of color fin ishes. At the present time the fac tor is finishing the eonpes- in shades of blue, maroon and brown, and It Is probable- that other color will be added In the near future. In each case Duco, chosen for its satin fin ish and durability, is used. Several sound business reasons have prompted the adoption of a wide color range in the finish of this general utility OKlsrnoblle mad el. Investigation has shown, fac tory officials report, that the two passenger coupe Is used more uni versally for'buslneas purposes than any other body type, and that its use In this field is of the widest possible range. A survey of sales records shows that It Is one of the most favored models for physicians,, lawyers, clergymen, commercial representatives, business men who drive to their offices from suburb an homes, and wires who desire the Independence a car of their own af fords them for shopping, visiting, etc., regardless of whether husband has the family car down town or not.

The booklet is for tfle trlbutlon among sportsmen, and reads as foii&w; Some time sgo a New Jersey game warden was ambushed and shot dead, through the bck. The crime was fastened on a Runner, who pleaded guilty and remarked that the warden had threatened to arrest him.

The game war den makes an arrest because a man ( armed vriih & gun oommits his j prime against a bird e-r an animal, j He hunts out of season, he exceeds his hag limit, he trespasses on. for- j bidden property h shoots at night! or does any one of a docea things that ace forbidden, by statute. The crime committed Is in reality a crime against a fellow sportsman, because it is the sportsmen who put the law on the books and the game in the field and then engaged the service of a warden to that these laws are obeyed. Without gams laws there would be no game,, without the services of the warden game would live a pre carious life and ia Urn cease to exist. The averagft gams warden of to day is a sincere sort ot fellow, aert-ous-mlnded in Ma work and gen erally witting to overtook an inno cent mistake, Hi lob Is a thank less one, his work hours never i ; cease once he has. taken the o.tth of office, he can't satisfy everyone ; and he shouldn't try. The awa h'. is paid to m lores insure an equal right to every sportsman. They do not favor the rich and take away from the poor; they aim to give game a square deal. The avrwge warden does not ma an arrest except when n-eeeii y ; he culleeta no part of the fees; he has no in centive to put obstacles In the way of the gunner who Is properly con ducting himself. The average ward en moves about a great deal through U(a territory; he knows where tho game Is; he will Impart this in- i formation gladly and freely if ! theros no reason why he should not. j Wardens Are Gentlemen.
