The Auto-Oiled
Aermotor
With duplicate gears running in oil. The
gears are contained in a gear case which holds
sufficient oil to keep every part thoroughly oiled
for a year. The gear case is covered with a steel
helmet which is rain proof, dust proof and air
tight. Not a drop of oil can escape. It circulates
constantly through every bearing while the mill
is operating. The shafts and gears run in oil.
This latest Aermotor is extremely sensitive to the
lightest breeze. It faces the wind perfectly and is
more notably than ever.
The Windmill Which Runs
When Others Stand Still
The strains are evenly balanced. Each ot the
large gears has an independent shaft, the one run-
ning inside tin* other, so there is no over-hanging
load on the hearings.

notable speech delivered in the;
German jvichstag this week by j
.Deputy Hugo Haase, the inde-;
pendent socialist, is given con-
siderable spJice bv the semi-of- J
ficial Nord Deutsche Allgemeinej
Zeitung. Its version of the I
speech is as follows:
“Dr. Helfferich von Capelle.”
said Deputy Haase, "told us in
1917 that the United States
would be unable to take further
part in the war and that its mil-
itary importance was nil. Today |
there are 700,000 Americans on i

men regarding American power-j

’ Herr Haase, continues the1
I semi-official version of the
; speech, went on w ith a bitter at-
tack on the German military
rulers for their method of con-
ducting the war, which was ali-
enating the friendship of the
| whole world. He declared their
i methods were making a decent
peace impossible and that the
German people must take mat-
ters into their own hands.

Fort Worth, Texas, July 1.—
Three baby panthers, born at
the Forest Park Zoo two weeks

It has become increasingly ap-
parent since Mr. Palmer began
to ferret out alien-owned prop-
erty that Germany had two i-
deas in mind when it made it
impossible for the United States
to remain out of the war. One
was the military defeat of the al-
lied armies and the American
what they are to be. It might

The alien property custodian
already has found 200 great
corporations in this country
that were owned by German cap-
ital. These corporations cover
every line of American business.
They were making fast profits
out of the war that Germany
created. At home the owners
of these plants were waxing fat-
ter and fatter, planning to use
the money they made in this
country to further Germany’s
war aims and help pay Ger-
