k an OLDS driver if he has ower enough, he'll tell you "yes." He has, he always
has. We don't lack power, we never did; our 1011 cars are finished to ierfection, no mat
ter what others may tell you, don't fail to see the OLDS cars before you spend your
money, as we are certainly giving a lot of car for the money.

"I met one farmer who told me an Inter

section who owned automobile, moat of
them began the first year with a ti.OW car,
nought a better one the next year for about
ll.Sfl. and laat year raised th. average
above fift". It Is very Interesting to not.
that the farmer 1. a careful buyer, demands
quality and cannot be deceived by price
"Our aJe at the Omaha show have
averaged Tery much as they did at the
Chicago show, that is above J25.0M."
Johnny Altken. famous driver of National
motor cars, really did try to quit th. rac
ing game, but the sport proved too strong
for him. and now he la going down to the
Mardl Oraa. After quitting the game "lrrov.
ocably" last summer, he started in the
Vanderbtlt and ran third.
Then he won hi. big class race at Fair-mount-
And then he quit "for good." H.
gripped, himself firmly and refused to ac

squadron on their triumphant parad. at
the Loa Angelea motordrome.

at th. lure of the fascinating sport. Of

Everj one acknowledges the nerv. and
daring of th. automobile racing mechan
ician, but juat at present tb. palm must
be awardec1 to a Nebraakan, Orrln A.
Curtis, born In Shelby and aon employed
aa a mechanician at a garage In David
City, Neb.
In a atx-cylindar, fifty horsepower
Mitchell . car, and with Miss Lillian P.
McCracken aa hkt "driver," Curtla threw
in the high speed one evening last week
and started on a Journey that may end
only with death, according to J. T. Stewart
of the Colt Auto company, Omaha, agent
for the Mitchell.
"Until death, doth part." read the Rev.
Cleveland Klelhauer of David City as be
stood on one foot in the tonneau of the
awaying Mitchell car and pronounced
Orrln A. and Lillian P. roan and wife, with
another young couple, Earl Able and hla
wife, aa witnesses, and Frank Jones,
chauffeur for thla twentieth century bridal
party, looking back over hla left ahoulder
every now and then and letttng the speed
ing car swerve so each time that the
blushing bride and pretty Mrs. Able punc
tuated the wedding ceremony with screams
and exclamallona.
The young people never will be able to
tell exactly where they were married, be
cause Frank Johna was hitting it up at
aon,ethlng like fifty miles an hour, but It
was somewhere on th. high road between
David City and Kolfy. and th. Rev. Cleve
land Klelhauer declared he never had made
a better job of It on terra fir ma, despite
the fact that the charming bride was
hanging onto his left shoulder tuost of the
lime and that the best man butted him
twice on the right ear and the groom
stumbled onto his eoraa with each lurch
of th. whizzing fifty horsepower MlU hell-fix.
