Irving Betz has eight automobiles in the course of construction which - can not be completed until he is. able, to purchase the necessary stearing gears. Betz says that the automobile trust Is opposing the plan of his company to sell -direct to the consumer. He says that one company will say they can't sell to him on account of the position of this company which buys large quantities of his cars and that company will not sell to him on account of the opposition of another company which buys a large number of steering gears. So he is sent from one company to another and as no autombiles can be built withut steering gears he is prevented from going ahead with the manufacture of his cars.. ' - He says that he Is now working on a plan to buy a number of these parts and believes that he will'be successful. IDVERTISW IN THE TTWES.

flay. of Indianapolis, father of John H. Molllday, a man of profound learning who understood a number of modern languages, though he did not speak them,, taught at the college for a time and interested young Wiley in the study of German. When Wiley l-ft college he looked about for a place to teach scnool. Ho finally turned up at Crown Point. He hunted up the school trustee, the man who had the giving of the desired Job, and found him after a walk of five or six miles. The school trustee was on an electioneering tour. He was after the oflice of sheriff of the county. He had no time to waste on a man after a Job. Ho was after voters and turned a deaf ear to the applicant. When Wiley appeared it seems the school trustee was trying to address a number of German voters, but -could not make himself understood. Wiley at this point came forward and put his accomplishment to service. The Germans understood him and as the would-be sheriff spoke he translated his speech Into aometmng resembling their native tongue. The candidate was delighted. "Come along with me," he said to Wiley. "Stay with me through the campaign. I"ll pay you for your work. mim you shall have a school teaching Job, tho best in the county, when the school takes up in the fall" and so young Wiley began his career as an educator.
