Battery Concern Remodels
Location; Free Service Nowi
The Auto 1 Electric Service com-
Eany, 316 South Nineteenth street,
ave recently remodeled their base
ment and converted it into an up-to-late
storage battery department
It is the policy of this concern to
give free Inspection of any make of
storage battery and they will be glad
to consult with and advise any car
owner as to the proper method of tak-
: ing care, of bis battery, to that it will
give him the best of service..!
Hienie Wendland, service manager,
is in charge of this department and
has in his employ a corps of expert
assistants, all of whom have been in
the battery business for several years
"Zach" Mulhall, the famous Okla
homa frontiersman and hunting part
ner of Teddy Roosevelt, who leaped
into the limelight by catching pan
thers and wolves alive, has nothing
on Edward T. Heyden, Omaha
realtor, who recently caught a fleet
footed coyote with a "tin Lizzie."
Mr. Heyden has not heretofore
been known as a nimrod to his
friends but he has established his
claim to the best hunting story of
the year by his feat. He was look
ing at some land near Pierre, S. D
with F. A. House of that city.
They were in one of Henry Ford's
specialties and were wandering over
the prairies with it when they caught
sight of the wolf in a herd of cattle.
They turned the machine loose and
cut the coyote out from the herd and
started to run him down. 1
Then began the wildest' ride thatj
the rather, deliberate Ed Heyden had
ever participated in during the span
of years that has intervened since
his daddy set up the cigars in cele
bration of his first appearance on
this mundane sphere.
Hummocks, ditches and lagoons
filled with water were ignored by
the driver of the car as he circled the
wolf over 20 mils of prairie. The
machine certainly did hit the high
spots on high and iarred the oc
cupants up so that they were sore
for days afterward.
Once both the car and the wolf
gave out at the same time and had to
stop. The machine got its second
wind first and gave the half-spent
animal a chase before it had recu
perated. The wolf ran in a wide cir
cle for miles, its tongue hanging out
and its eyes bulging so that they
would make good pegs. on which to
hang a hat. Finally the animal, with
tail between its lees, fell into a hole
and Mr. Heyden, with a board,
dispatched it with a merciful blow,
He had a photograph made of his
quarry, and the machine which he
used as a wolf hound, in its capture,
to prove the truth of this wolt tale.

Chandler Distributor is
Optimistic Over Future
"There is no feeling of pessimism in
our organization," asserts R. L. Alley,
manager of the Card-Adams Chandler
interests in Omaha. "On the other
hand we are very optomistic and feel
that we are fortunate in many re
spects. "Our business has been very good,
in fact much better than we antici
pated, and owing to the large orders
on file at the Chandler factory we
have been able to secure a sufficient
number of cars to take care of the
demand."
Clean Battery Box.
Sometimes it is necessary to use
temporarily or permanently a set of
drv f fill in rnmnir(mnt tiVir
They also have Nebraska diatribn-storage battery wi formerly housed.
In this case the compartment should
be carefully cleaned to remove all
traces of the acid left by the battery,
Otherwise the dry cells will be at
tacked and quickly destroyed.
Creeping Rims.
When the shoulders on the wheel,
designed to hold the demountable
rim becomes worn, the rim and itt
tire will creep around the wheel.
Naturally this makes the valve stem
project at an acute angle and. if con
tinued long enough, may cut it ff.
If the valve stem is held firmly by
means of a cap, the strain falls upon
the lower portion of the stem and
that part of the inner tube which sur
rounds it. In this conection it is we!1.
to call attention to the need for
tightening the rim lugs by degrees.
If they are fully tightened ne after
the other and all the way round the
wheel, there is apt to be too much
space on one' side of the wheel and
too little on the other. The proper
way is to tighten one lug and then
the one nearly opposite it and so on
