"I have lately had called to my attention statement, made by Newman Erb, president" of the Minna- a oa T ...Ik wltiAai4 mrA AnA fit UIXJU3 oc oi jwuio v -1 - the keonest financial men In the oountry, In which- the automobile was fflyen. due credit for the good It has accomplished., Mr. Erb declared that 13,000,000,000 was ft conservative estimate of the. increased value of farm, lands, due directly to the automobllo. "A few years ajfo farm lands which were located near the railroads were worth about $75 an acre, where the land twenty, miles back could hardly behold at HO -an acre. With the Introduction Of the automobile, however, th latter" land was brought within a few" minutes 'run of tho railroads and Its value has. In creased tremendously because" of -this' fact. 'The farmer who owns an nutt motile, and lives twenty miles from a shipping point la today a close to the markets of the world aa Is the man whoso land Is within three or four miles pf the railroad. Tho automobile will make the' run to the shipping point In less time than horses take to cover three r four miles. "Besides eliminating distance as It has, tho automobile has worked another tre mendous Influence for good in the agri cultural, districts of the country by de manding g6od roads. ''It Is "universally acknowledged that good highways mean Increased prosperity for the farmer, and Wherever automobiles are owned there will good roads be found as soon as they tan be built. Many short-sighted people have' claimed that the purchase of an automobile by a farmer Is an extrava gance. I maintain that It Is one of the most foreslghted economics ho ever In troduced, and I think the majority of the successful farmers of tho United States Will 'agreo with me." GOODYEAR ANNOUNCES A NEW TIRE FOR ELECTRICS "A new electrio tire, called 'the Gool f ear, Power Savor Preumatlo tire, Is to be Ctoodyear's contribution to the ejeoi trio jyehlcle industry for 1911" announces X & Roclchlll, manager of the auto mobile tire department of the Goodyear Tlre'.and Rubber company, Akron, O., iwhoj-has Just returned to Akran after an 'extensive tour of theTaolflo eoasi.

Along the ' Automobile Eow Many different methods of advertising automobiles have been devised by Inven tive minds, but the Packard company came Into a batch of free publicity last week by a mere chance and every auto mobile dealer along the row had -some comment to make. One-halt of tho row said the advertising waa objectlbnablo and the other half said It was blind luck. In the inteilm, Local Manager Orr Is not saying1 a word. The advertising came aa a result of Harry Thaws notorious - ' - Vtm - rtaJt nn thai flrt laT iiiun niu vw v. - - - of his Journey to Canada In a Packard car. Not saUsfled with that, the gentle man Who owns the machine Is reported as taking Into consideration offers of vaudeville agents for exhibition of the car. If the car Is exhibited tho Packard company will got its share of the pub licity, no matter whether the car per forms any tricks or not. i ' Th Tvnnt.

The Partln Palmer ' car, which was to be delivered to the Traynor Auto com pany last Monday, did not arrive. The car was not completed Saturday, and as Sunday and Monday were both holidays the car was not finished untlt Tuesday. It was shipped Wednesday, but arrived too late for exhibition at the State fair. The Traynor company, which is the agent for Nebraska, 'and western Iowa, has signed contracts for representation in four Iowa counties. The contracts call for twenty cars. ' B. M. Burbank, who sells tho Paige In Nebraska; has had , mapy orders for cars that he cannot get from the factory that he was compelled, to sell his demon strator to an Insistent buyer. BurbanK argued, protested and pleaded, but the buyer demanded Instant delivery. Bur bank eventually cleaned out his stock by belling the demonstrator. Several car loads of cars are expected this week which, will prevent another shortage. Powell Supply company has. Just re ceived another- consignment of Pierce bicycles. Several of the new 1914 models are Included. The machines are now on display at Powell's.

So every part of the fabric assumes its full share of strain. . i All other tires are vulcanized on iron cores alone. The fierce compression often wrinkles the fabric and that wrinkled fabric escapes the strain. That causes thousands of blow-outs. This "On-Air Cure" adds to our cost $1,500. daily. It is so costly that no other maker employs it. ' Tread Separation Loose treads have cost 'tire users millions of dollars. A breaker strip, in all well-made tires, comes at the base of the tread. It is near this strip that separation comes. This breaker sfrip in Nb-Rim-Cut tires baa hundreds of holes in if, made by a special weave: Tie . tread, rubber is forced down through these: holes, 'forming hundreds of .large rubber rivets, 'Then tho tire Is vul canized en 'masse. We paid $50,000 for thk patented way to prevent tread separation. Please consider these savings. Rim-cutting completely avoided. Blow-outs and loose treads caved.

Pierce, a New Tork lumberman whose prediction is for automobile globe trotting, and whose private office Is tho tonneau of his Cadillac, has started again on a tour through the White mountains, Canada. Miohtgan, Indiana and Ohio in the same car which, since February. Mil, he has driven S7.0W miles. After this strenuous excursion, Mr. Pierce, accompanied by Mrs. Pierce and a companion, will hit the transcontinental trail In September for southern Cali fornia, where they will spend the winter. The big mileage piled up to date Is due to a remarkable trip lost season which consisted of a tour all the way around the United States In the same oar. Mr. Pierce claims a unlqulo' record on his ride from New Tork to the Pactflo coast, whloh he says was negotiated without a single mechanical adjustment On this summer's trip the Pierce party will retrace part of last season's route, especially In the northwest -and southern California. For pure touring enjoyment, Mr. Pierce declares America without a rival. L0ZIER ANNOUNCES NEW MODEL FOR 1914 OUTPUT Probably tho'most Important develop ment of the week In the automobile In dustry, was the announcement made to dealers on Tuesday by the I!er Motor company of a new four-cylinder Losltr for 1314 production. The car is In the popular-priced field anf-wlll sell at 12.100. The action of the Lozler5 company In again bringing out a four-cylinder car after having built sixes exclusively for the last two years Is cauatng wide comment In trade circles. The new Xxsler four resembles In 6 marked degree, the popular Lorler light six model brought out last season, but has many new features which are dis tinctive on the new car. The stream like body design first Introduced on the light six Is Incorporated In the new four. In addition the new car wilt have crowned fenders In the style of the latest European design'.

In the spring of 1910 tho Idea had been de veloped to tho stage where It was re garded as worthy to bear tho Packard seal. Day ami night n devoted army tolled to bring tho Packard "six" Info shapo. In six months from tho time that t actually entered tho shops the Idea grew Into a car, a majestic, pow erful model of wonderful capabilities. H surprised the men behind It. It did what they had carefully calculated It should do, and went beyond tholr hopes. They found a spot on Iong Island that was surflcltntly Isolated for a test' log camp, although but fifteen mlUs from New York. Tho place was called the "Bumblo Uee's Nest," because It was la the midst of a thick .brush, hidden completely from the main lino of travel. The "Humblo UWs Nest" was tho scent of exhaustive effort In the, determination to show up any weak spots In tho .new motor. v , 9tado Many Ttw. Engineers taxed their Ingenufty to do-' vise racking shop tests. A motor was attached to a frame and run at a torrltlc speed under a heavy load for 200 hours .without cessation. And tho shop tests were but pre liminary to the pressure that was put upon tho completed car. Ths motor be fore it was reproduced for the market did 100,000 miles of work on the road. This Is almost half the distance to the moon, but It menns merely that this test, like all the others, was extreme. A testing camp was established In Waynesboro, Da. January 1, 1911. and a .double crew of experimental room vet erans started la to "tako It out and brook it," tho war cry of tho Packard tostqrs..
