For the past few weeks our local papers have been congested with arti cles and advertising relative to motor cars that have and have not climbed a certain hill in this locality. At first it was amusing but finally reached tho stage where the "back biting" has become irksome and shows the true character of the dealers partic ipating in the same. Anyone may purchase space in n paper and put therein articles that ho may purpprt to be facta, but that does Sot necessarily make it a fact. The halmers car has never been tested on this hiirby the writer but I drove a $900 Overland over the hill and know that I can drive a Chalmers any place the above cor can go. What a novice driver may have done is no measure rel ative to the ability of the car in the hands of a driver. Chalmers cars have a nntional repu tation that cannot bo questioned by any local demonstrator anu I do not deem it necessarry to follow Mr. Herzog over somebody's cow pasture to maintain it. The thinking man will take into consid eration his mercenary motive. The Chalmers has never been defeated by a car of its class; in such events as the Indiana Trophy, Santa Monica, the national race on the Lowell course, and the 1910 Glidden Tour the Chalmers won over all cars locally represented. All carB in these events were driven by men who knew how, so the test was fair. Why go further and quibble with local factions that will prove nothing and only result in "mud slinging?" In 1911 the "Motor Age" gave the Chalmers the title of champion cor after compiling the records for the season. The wise heads of the Chalmers con cern having gained this reputation could see no reason for continuing the expense of racing teams, an expense that must eventually be borne by the Chalmers buying public, so decided to nbandon the same nnd give tho public the benefit by reducing the price of their cars. 1909 Chalmers carried the mail from Gothenburg to Arnold last winter and is still carrying it, without trouble; a Buick is in the mail service irom North Platte to Gandy and has broken down repeatedly. Local Buicks have given rear axle trouble, Chalmers never have; gears have chipped and compelled re placement on practically new Buicks, Chalmers never have; different models of Buicks have been operated for weeks at a time on three cylinders because they could not be majle to hit on four; A tfuick was towed to town by, nnd traded in on, a model "T," Ford a car famous only for its cheapness; a Chal mers never suffered such an end. I don't boast thata man has owned his fourth or fifth Chalmers, as the Buick man boasts of his Buick owners. When a man buys a Chalmers ho buys a car that endures nnd is not compelled to trade it in on another Chalmers in order to get something like the value of the car, for he has bouchta car he will be proud of the fourth or fifth year. A Chalmers "30" forded the South Platte river with four people and eight hundred pounds of baggage. Should I assume that all othor makes of cars were defented be cause they were not there to attempt itY In justice to the owners that have purchased r Chalmers cars and to .the merAhnt are gojng to. I feel compelled to publish the above, much as I regret it. I further consider it beneath my dignity and the dignity of the car I rep resent to participate in any "scare head" newspaper squabble and this will be the only "outburst" from this source.

They are fast disap pearing and many of us who living to day will seo the last of their kind. At the homo of Mrs. Chns. Temple, 220 So.
