" THE BEMIDJI' DAILY PIONEER t/carried them overseas, two new verland cars, part of the first con- ignment of new.cars to reach the ‘shores of India, blazed the trail over l{;road to Mandalay”’ made famous ‘in ‘Rudyard Kipling’s, familiar verse. ;. ‘The two cars, new and unseasoned, 'uwcuslully negotiated the 500-mile run from Rangoon to Mandalay over ibat 'had never been traveled \temre by a motor car. The trip was made by Major R. ‘W.. H. Marris, representative of the John N. Willys Export Corporation and ‘T. M. Van Wyck, a Rangoon ‘ newspaper man. It rivaled in sever- ity many of the tests to which the Qverland has been subjected in the Un’gled ‘States. e trip consumed 43 hours. In- ‘cluded on the 500-mile run were five hours of contindous low-gear iwork when the cars plowed thru 18 ‘inches of sand.: Some idea of the hazards of the trip may be gained from the fact that in one instance at the approach %o a river bed, the cars were com- elled to make a sheer drop of eleven g t with rear wheels locked. In making this descent, however, the only damage done was the ripping off of both rear tires. For miles, Major Marris says, the ‘ear was driven at an angle of 40 de- grees because the major was com- ‘pelled to drive the car with one 1 in ruts made by native bullock arts, while the other wheel remain- d in the center-of the care wheel trabks nearjy two or three feet high- > o-n another occasfon the cars trav- ‘eled for 30 miles over the paddy fields. For irrigation purposes, ‘the fields are divided into num- erous little areas with ditches for re- taining water. These ditches are from a few inches to a couple of feet in width. Continuous driving over these ridges did not constitute exact- 1y & joy ride, the major added. The cars were driven at speeds yarying from four to 40 miles an hour. I[n the entire trip no mechani- cal adjustments were necessary. In .many of the ‘villages visited the na- tives were frightened by the cars, fleeing into their stockades and’ bar- ring the gates. 'COMMUMITY FAIR ARE "DECIDEBLY SUCCESSFUL (Coptinued from Page 1) work. H. A.

J. F. Johnston acted as chairman with credit to himself iand the community of Hines. | The program at Kelliher on Friday afternoon was in the nature of a literary program. The main speak- being County Agent Dvoracek nd H. A. Pflughoeft. The songs and instrumental numbers given by the Junior society were also enjoyed. Mr. Pflughoeft explained selection of wamples of potatoes. The fair con- ‘Msted of forty entries of potatoes, %enbles, pigs, rabbits and grains. e interest and spmt shown by the ‘phpxls was indeed inspiring and a ‘sredit to their school. Much can be expected of them. These two school community fairs, while small at beginning, promises much for the futhre. In fact it is » beljeved t importance to the community, wven rivaling the importance of the county fair, because they are local .‘And will interest larger numbers in i .ototal in the county. This does not e for the discontinuation of the county _fairs for community fairs, but to encourage community fairs - 'and they will help build up the coun- ty fair. These are the only school t!nn held this year, in this county, but it is expected that more will be held next year and that, these two will be greater and even more suc- cessful than they were this year.

(By ‘Raymond Clapper, United Press Staff Correspondent with Sen- ator Harding.) Senator Harding in making a speech never resorts to the old fash- ioned trick of leisurely pouring out a glass of water to give the audience time for generous applause and then taking only a bare sip of it. He never drinks during an address. H. C. L. item: On the last gpeak- ing tour east Mrs. Harding was still wearing the summer hat she hnd at the Chicago convention. Marion local No. 1 of the Order of the Elephant has been organized by newspapermen assigned to cover Harding. He was made Chief Mahout at the. organization’s first dinner here. The order is political and designed solely to give Rresidential candidates a chance to get away from politics and be pri- vate citizens for a few hours. It is a question who works )L:rder during a Harding speech, the ndi- date or Mrs. Harding. She always sits within arms reach of him and every word spoken by the senator is formed on her own lips. At Wheeling the crowd in the streets was so dense that Senator and Mrs. Harding riding in separate auto- mobiles got separated. She got to the, hall first. “Where is that man that community fairs are of | HUNTING PARENTS OF TO SPUR HOME BUTLDING St. Paul, Oct. 14, —Northwest lum- bermen who have been handicapped by the obstacles of freight delays and uncertainty in building opera- tions are seeing hope for home build- ers in the fruits of the freight rate advance. The National Lumber Manufactureps’ ‘association recently Zave out some decisively concrete fig- ures on added costs for which they expect to find commensurate compen- | sation for the home builder in his operations. For instance they figure that the railway will not be able to correct the car delays and deterior-| ated rolling stock troubles which have| doubled the time in transit in the last few years. These difficulties have compelled the retail lumbermen to carry three times as large a stock as lie did a few years ago when con- ditions were normal, and the resulted in the halting of home building. ‘Most of the lumber used in the building of homes along the line of the Great Northern Railway comes from the Pacific northwest. Lumber- men declare the new freight rate will not make the building movement lag a bit, but on the contrary will spur it on as a result of improved railway service. This freight rate increase will mean only a nominal added cost 1x§the erection of homes.: GRAIN MEN SAY PRICES )N NECESSI WILL SOAR ‘Chicago, Oct. 14— 'hat prices on necessities will soar to new high figures unless favorable government action is taken on demands of farm- ers in Washington for the lowering of the-Federal Reserve Board’s re- discount rates and expansion of cred- it, was predicted by grain men here today.

Harding?” she asked as she plumped down into a chair breathless from pushing through .the dense crowd. Whether @ sleeping car can be a jinx may be an open question but the Glengyle: which carried ‘news- papermen on Harding’s last trip when his car nearly’ crashed over a high| trestle was also the press car of President Wilson’s ill-fated league of nation’s trip a yéar ago. Mrs. Harding is very patient with photographers but _one persistent camera man was too much for her. He wanted her to pose this way and that with various kinds of smiles.

The corporation proposals, Houston }| said, would amount to this govern- ment loaning money to wermany and other nations in central Europe ‘which buy American farm products. Minneapolis, Oct. 14.—Grain deal- ers are in full accord with the farm- ¢ ers in their demand for lower re-dis- count rating in Federal reserve sys- tem and more liberal credits for farmers for production purposes. “By all means,” s2id C.

Groat “(United Press Correspondent) Berlin. (By Mail.)—Despite the slumping tendency in German indus- try at this time, it is remarkable that some important branches -are showing signs of great improvement. coal and iron works are being.made in increasing numbers. The ship- yards are making feverish efforts to renew Germany’s commerce fleet. Such reconstruction is given an im- petus by the .recent agreement. be- tween the Hamburg-Amerika~ line corporation, -and between the Nor- deutscher Lloyd line and the U. S. Mail steamship company. Admiral Beneon-of the U. S. shipping board has described these agreements as strictly business deals which will help,| ‘American shipping business on a strong footing. Here in Germany, one regards them as affording a field for activity for the old German companies and a start- ing point for a quicker rebuilding of the German fleet than one could have expected under the Versailles treaty conditions. .The German realizes-that the Am- erican agreement is not made out of friendship for Germany, and he feels that there is in it a elever move to a: sure America’s standing on the seas as against English competition. And, England, manifestly is vieying the arrangement with the angry teenng of the “Zuspaetgekommenen” (the too late arrived) and, it is possible that England will strive, perhaps suc- cessfully, to make other connections with Germany for a cooperation. in the shipping line.
