- There is no country of conse
quence in the world that has not
bought American automobiles. They
&re known and used from Iceland in
the Arctic circle, to Paraguay, Uru
guay and Chile in far South Amer
ica and Tasmania near the Antarc
tic circle. Eighty different countries
are shown on the list of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce
to which automobiles and motor
trucks were declared for export
from the United States during the
last year. They include such
slightly-known countries as the
Barbados Islands, Trinidad and
Tobago, Dominican Republic, the
Guianas. Aden, Shosen, Siam, Li
beria, Labrador, Madagascar, and
the many small islands desig
nated as "Other British Oceania",
French Oceania , "German Ocea
nia", "Other British West Indies",
the Philippine Islands, and the Dan
lth, Dutch and French West Indies.
Our automobiles have penetrated
the remote corners of the globe and
are establishing their reputation in
the high mountains of the Andes,
the plains of Australia, desert sands
of North Africa, under the torrid
heat of Arabia and in the frigid re
gions of Alaska, Iceland and the
Faroe Islands.
Largely as an effect of war con
ditions the exports of automobiles
.and. trucks increased from a little
" more than 25,000 vehicles, valued at
$26,000,000. in the 12 months ended
June 30. 1913, to 80,785, worth $90.
' 955,000 in the fiscal year ended June
: 30, 1917 more than tripling in the
four-year period.
Fuel Stoppage.
' When the engine, after being
started, runs for a minute or two and
then stops, the first place to look
for trouble is in the gasoline feed
line. A partial stoppage in the pipe
" will lessen the flow of fuel so that
the float chamber fills slowly. On
being started the motor at once con
. sumes this gasolene and then has to
J wait for more. There is another
V possible cause of this trouble, and
, that is the float of the carbureter
sticking. Of course if the float is
stuck in a high, position the flow of
fuel will be greatly lessened or even
stopped.
Use for Old Files.
Occasionally it becomes neces
sary for the man who operates his
own car to file a piece of cast iron
that has been subjected to friction
and has acquired a glassy surface of
"skin." The best way to get through
this skin is to use the edges of an
old file, as using a good file on such
t- surfaces will spoil it.

Icebergs to Be Used
By Wyoming Man In
New Irrigation Plan
- . ( From m Stuff Correnpondrnt.)
Washington, ' Aug. 9. Irrigation
of western lands from a hitherto un
known ajid untried source is prom
ised with the success of an experi:
ment to be tried next winter by W.
H. Zindel of Kaycee, Wyo., who has
been in the east to test certain ap
pliances. Briefly, the Zindel plan is to use
icebergs 4or irrigation next sum
merreal icebergs he expects to
build in Wyoming the coming win
ter. He will carry water from a
mountain stream to a point "where it
can drop several hundred feet- and
during the winter, when this water
is not needed for any, purpose, it
will freeze and create an iceberg
that will i ot melt until long' after
the winter snow has disappeared.
"I got the idea from Visiting
Niagara last winter," said Zindel,
"and I can see no reason why it
will not work. During the winter
months thousands of these icebergs
can be built in Wyoming and the
west, and they will hold the mois
ture back until after the run-off from
the snow leaves the ground. Many
of them would not entirely melt
until late August."
Editor of Today Has No Use
for Free Lists; Cash Only
"Until a few years ago. the editor
of the country paper filled his space
with patent medicine and many
other kinds of so-called 'foreign'
advertisements, taking his pay it)
printing ink made of lamp black and
molasses. He traded the space for
jack knives and wrote columns on
deaths and marriages, without re
ward, or hope of reward, but con
ditions have changed," said Charles
M. Hubner, of the Nebraska City
Press, veteran Nebraska newspaper
man, who was with the beys in
Omaha last week. Continuing, Mr.
Hubner said:
"I should remark that conditions
have changed with the papers and
the men who edit and publish them.
Now we are much like other busi
ness men. We run our business for
the money that there is in it, and
aljo because we like the business.
We have quit running free notices,
and I understand that it is a uni
versal rule with all the boys that
they charge for publishing birth,
marriage and death notices. Time
was when all these went free.,
"We have improved the character
of our papers and we pay cash for
what xwe get, demanding cash for
what we deliver. Formerly we car
ried a 'free' list that was longer
than that of the paid subscribers.
In those days, if a merchant placed
a column advertisement, he expect
ed about half as much space as a
'free reader.' Novv that's all gone
and buying space of us is on the
same principle as buying meat of the
butcher, or groceries of the grocer.
It's a business transaction, pure and
simple. As a result of the change in
policy adopted by the newspaper
men, they have come to be looked
upon as reputable citizens and busi
ness men instead of objects of char
ity. "We no longer take suckling pigs,
chickens, cordwood. corn cobs and
numerous other things on subscrip
tion. Subscriptions now are cash in
advance, and generally I think the
people like the change. As it is now.
the subscribers are not under obliga
tions to the editors and publishers.
We are not all getting rich, but
most of us are making money. We
are able to dress our wives well,
send our children to school and oc
casionally one of the boys who hap
pens to be a little more thrifty than
some of his neighbors is able to buy
and own an automobile."

Dozens of near miracles wrought
by the far-sighted pioneers of the
motor car .industry during the short
period of its existence have made jits
history the most romantic of any
American industry and show possi
bly the best evidence supporting the
trite adage that truth is stranger
than fiction. Having brought the
open touring and sport models up
to a point approaching perfection
these restless souls,-never content to
let well enough alone, have directed
their attention during the past few
seasons to improvement of all-sea-:.on
models.
Keeping pace with the popularity
of winter driving, which has been
increasing with amazing strides re
cently, the Cole Motor Car com
pany has brought forth many neces
sary improvements on the all-season
car. Therefore, the news that
Cole is responsible for another en
closed car convenience is nothing
more than motordom has come to
expect periodically.
However, the announcement of a
windshield, which in a driving gale
will keep all rain and snow out of
the interior of the car, and at the
same time yield the driver a clear
view of the road through a section
unobstructed even by any portion
of the glass, cannot be made with
out creating an unusual ripple on
the busv surface of motordom.
Rancher Had Seventeen
Autos, Buys Motorcycle
C. W. Heywood. a wealthy ranch
er from Sheridan county, having had
17 automobiles and induced by a
returned soldier, who had seen the
service given by Harley-Davidson
motorcycles in France, purchased a
machine with side car from Victor
H. Roos. the local Harley-Davidson
distributor, last week and drove it
home, a distance of 450 miles.
J. W. Geteshell, another rancher
from Dawes county, stepped into
Mr. Roos' salesroom Friday at 6
p m., explained that he missed his
train, had an important engagement
at Neligh, and that he needed a
motorcycle on his ranch anyway,
purchased an outfit and said he was
going to drive all night, and was on
his way as soon as the machine was
filled with oil and gas, and with a
trial spin ot a few blocks.
"Looks to me like they were go
ing to discard the cow ponies for
Harlcy-Davidsons," exclaimed Vic
tor Roos.
Buys Interest of Partner and
Now Has Most of Nebraska
and Thirteen Iowa
. Counties.
J. H. Hansen, who has been the
junior member of the Jones-Han-sen-Cadillac
company, former Ca
dillac distributors in the Omahirter
ritory, has purchased the stock of
the former president and has now
become distributor for Cadillac
cars in Omaha, Lincoln and Hast
ings territory, which includes prac
tically all of the state of Nebraska
and 13 counties in Iowa.
In calling on Mr. Hansen, the re
marks which he made show that
he gives' the credit for his success
to the Cadillac car itself. He seems
to be entirely too busy with hi
new duties in lining up the terri
tory to be willing to co into a
lengthy interview as to how am'
why it hapneued, but simplv s;iid : j
I he Cadillac car. the Cadillac
ideals of service, combined with the
best people in the community, can
not help but bring success to the
fellow who will work."
It is Mr. Hansen's idea to ex
pand his selling organization and
his service department, -and to con
tinue to maintain the Lincoln office.
Mr. Hansen also remarked that he
had made several appointments for
promotion among the men who
have stayed with him for the last
two years, announcement of which
will be made later. The scarcity
of Cadillac cars seems to be the
only thing which worries Mr. Han
sen, as he is very anxious to make
good his promises to Cadillac pur
chasers. He says that the factory
is now making a few special ship
ments to him, which will make
Cadillac cars available in Omaha for
delivery very soon.

Interior Wire Break.
On rare occasions it happens
that a- wire breaks inside its insula
tion, giving no exterior sign of the
trouble. The car owner thinks the
ignition system has gone bad,
changes spark plugs, sends the mag
neto to the service station, etc, when
all the time this interior wire break
is the cause. In the event of an
obscure ignition trouble remember
this.
Famous Hill Taken
On High by Stephen
Salient Six Auto
New.- of one of the mo:t impress
ive performances yet made by a
motor car was recently published by
the Los Angeles Examiner, John
Opshal, Stephen Salient Six dealer
at Fillmore, took one of his stock
Stephens car and in high gear
climbed the famous Ojai grade,
located in Ventura county.
The Ojai grade is one of the hard
est in the' state of California and
incidentally in the country. The
Stephens Salient six is the first car
to officially climb this grade in
high gear. This bill has always
defied motorists because of its rut
ed. uneven condition, which cause.!
the car to bounce, .thereby losing
traction.
Another condition " that makes it
hard to climb is that the road
winds in "S" curves all the way up,
making it impossible to get tip any
spoed. The hill is eight-tenths of
a mile long and is very steep, fur
nishing a continuous hard pull
from begining to end.
