Jbr Economical Transportation i mMUkmi .. # Every Farm.Needs Two rf EVERY farm needs two automobiles, one of which should be a closed model Chevrolet. The open touring car is best for general farm use, carrying pas i sengers or perhaps miscellaneous bulky produce or merchan dise, but for cold or rainy weather, and for church or social use the family needs a closed car, either a 2-paAsenger Utility Coupe as illustrated, or the 5-passenger Sedan. The extra < large rear compartment Is a feature of the Coupe. These closed cars are very finely made, furnished, upholstered and trimmed. The windows are of plate glass and can be lowered, providing as much air as an open car, yet affording foil protection against wind, rain, snow or cold when raised. ■ With a second car on a farm, one isalways available for those at home when the other car is out. The low prices of Chevrolet make the ownership of two cars feasible for most form families. CHEVROLET MOTOR CO., DETROIT, MICH.

Dealers and Service Stations Everywhere FEDERAL LAW ON HUNTING Prohibits Shooting of Migratory Fowl After Sunset—South Dakota Hunters Face Arrest. Hunting migratory game birds Is permitted under federal regulations each day during the open season from half an hour before sunrise to sun set. Persons found hunting between sunset and half an hour before sun rise are liable to prosecution in fed eral court under the provisions of Reg ulations 4 of the migratory-bird treaty act regulations. A state law recently passed by the legislature of South Da kota provides that waterfowl may be shot half an hour after sunset. The biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture points oul that state legislatures may pass laws to give further protection to migra tory birds, if such laws or regulations do not extend the open seasons fot such birds beyond the time prescribed by the migratory-bird treaty-act regu lations. Although the state law per mits shooting from sunrise to half an houi after sunset, a person so doing Way be arrested and prosecuted undei the federal law, administered by the Department of Agriculture. Riches may have wings, but poverty Is seldom a quitter. FIRST U. S. MILITARY MEDAL Government Gave Gen. d'Jorge Wash ington Decoration to Commemo rate Evacuation of Boston.

Sold by Qrocers EverywhereJ Grape=Nuts —THE BODYBUILDER *There's a Reason ’ SOOTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR TO FIGHT BOOST Declares Recent Increase of 2 Cents a Gallon Is Unjust Sioux Falls, S. D.. Nov. 12.—(Spe cial.)—Governor McMaster will start South Dakota’s second gasoline war in Mitchell Tuesday when the state filling station located there will start retailing gasoline at 16 cents a gal lon. In protest against the increase of 2 cents a gallon by the Standard and independent companies on Saturday, the governor announced the state would sell 2 cents cheaper, which he declared was a fair price. Governor McMaster made this an nouncement in an address at the Coliseum Monday afternoon. He told the details and reasons of his ac tions. “The increase In price for South Dakota was made to equalize that which the Standard Oil Company is able to obtain in other states,” Gov ernor McMaster said. “But South Dakota is able to determine for it self what is and what is not Just no matter what other states may submit to.” Received Offer Saturday His action was caused by the of fer Saturday of 400,000 gallons of gasoline in midcontinent refineries, at 6 3-4 cents, he said. This offer also held for any pdrtion thereof. The approximate freight to Sioux Falls he placed at 2.94 cents, and allowing for a 2-cent tax, the whole sale price would be 11.94 cents. A profit of four cents is sufficient for the handling, he declared. “It was indicated at the confer ence in Pierre, August 16, that a profit of this amount would be insuf ficient,’’ the governor declared. “The market has not changed since that time. The recent increase Is unjust." WILL MEET PRICES As a result of Governor McMaster’s announcement of a cut to 16 cents a gallon >n gasoline prioes from the state supply station at Mitchell Monday night, officials of oil com panies in Sioux City Btated that they would cut their rate in South Dako to to meet the supply station prices Tuesday. B. K. Dunlap, manager for the Transcontinental Oil Company stated Monday night that there was little that the independent dealers could do to light the cut announced by Governor McMaster and that gasoline at their stations in the Sioux Falls district Wo«ld be cut to equal those made at the state sup ply station. He said that, in his opinion, all the companies would be forced to sell at the state price as long as they could and then discon tinue business. “There is but one thing that we can do," he said, "and that is to meet the price. The result will be that the little dealers cannot oper ate on the margin of profit at that price, and they will be forced to go out of business.” Other managers of independent oil companies operating in South Da kota expressed opinions bearing out the statement of Mr. Dunlap. Officials of the Standard Oil Com pany said that while they had not communicated with their Chicago of fice, they were of the opinion that the price established by the governor at the state supply station would be met. The price will, however, vary throughout th6 state, depending on the difference in freight rates to different ‘localities.
