Dealers everywhere 'are gradually
being convinced that it is to their
advantage to handle cars which
have been manufactured in the most
efficient way
The average dealer of today Is tie-
giifning to realize that it is to his
advantage to handle automobiles
which in the designing take in all
the details before building and not
as an afterthought The buyer of
today wants a car of economical
maintenance To obtain this result
a car that is not too heavy is necl
essary
In obtaining lighter veight ma-
terials must be used that have great-
i
er durability and strength In de-
creasing weight the chassis has been
found to be the most logical place
' I
to begin The common sense Idea
would be to eliminate complications
making one part do the work of two
in a better way Drop forgings and
heat-treated steel play an important
part in replacing the heavier and
less 'durable iron castings
The motor construction also plays
an important part in decreasing
weight The trend of favor seem3
to be with the light weight high
speed type of motor Not only does
this type of motor decrease the
weight of the entire car but it is
f
acknowleged as the most efficient
in power as well as cost of upkeep
In the' better make of high speed
light weight motors aluminum is
being used at every possible point
lumnium crank basis and pistons
are now ccming into' prominence
making a material decrease in
weight '
Aluminum is less susceptible to
wear' which means longer life to
parts made of thl material It is
Indeed a time when manufacturers
realize that to live they 'must em-
body all the good points in one car

the direction of Choir Leader R W

most creditable work can be done
The deepening interest in matters
musical is a credit to the clty and
lovers of good things in music were
delighted with th0 Wednesday even
ing entertainment
The people of Hugo owe a debt ©f
apperclation to the Euterpean club
for the effort to popularize good
music and to furnish an opportunl
ty for those who desire it to enjoy
occasional programs of really good
music Equally praiseworthy is the
work Miss Stout is doing With the
children in the schools The Christ

of the extent and value of this work
to many who had not fully esti-

TAFT TO URGE '
HONEST ATHLETICS
New York Dec 27 — The prob-
lem of eradicating from college base-
ball its objecticnable features and
adopting a definition of amateur
will fprm the leading topics to be
discussed at the tenth annual con
ventlon of tbe National Collegiate
1 1
Athletic association at the Hotel
As tor tomorrow Former president
of the United S’ates William H
Taft will deliver the principal ad-
dress on the subject which is at
tracting so uch attention in inter-
collegiate circles
The appearance of Mr Taft at
college athletic -meeting will be a
novel experience for the expresl
dent and the speech will bo followed
by a general discussion on tipics
suggested by the delegates to tbe
convention TbSere is considerable
Interest among collegians as to the
stand Mr Taft will take on the ama-
teur question He - has not been
prominently identified with athletic
problems in the past and the de-
mand for a universal understand
ing regarding the amateur standing
of performers in one sport who have
professionalized themselves in an
other is 4 thought to be the under-
lying reason for Mr Taft's stand on
college athletics

RESTLESSNESS IN
There lg restlessness and uncer
tainty in the Methodist church cir-
cles in Hugo since it appears likely
that the church Is about to lose a
large part of its working force No
reason is assigned for the loss nor
can any cause be stated with confi-
dence but that such a loss is imml
nent ’ is shown by the following
analysis of the Sunday evening con
gregatlon at First Methodist church
This church has twenty-three stew
ards six of whom were at church
Sunday evening ‘while seventeen
were not Out ©f Its eight trustees
three went to church and five re
mained at home Of eleven officers
In the Women’s missionary society
two attended the evening seivice
and nine did not Out of thirty-five
officers and teachers in First Church
Sunday school eight braved the ele-
ments and boldly faced the preach-
er while twentyseven mors timid
ones kept cozy and comfortable at
the home fire In other words ex-
cluding duplicates out of sixty-five
official members of the church thir-
teen or one out of five went to
church Sunday evening
The pastor recognizes the fact that
in some Instances illness caused the
absence and 'that a few of the
others were out of town for the
holidays He is also aware that
some of these at home had not sufficiently--
recovered from" a" full
I
Christmas to really enjoys a church
service But a carefully kept tab
on Sunday evening congregations for
seme time past shows that'tbis is
not startlingly below an average
Sunday night attendance of officers
is close to half the average
Sunday morning attendance of offi-
cers of the church With the coming
of the new year it is hoped that new
resolutions and new habits will be
formed and the threatened loss
averted
