A Wide Tire Law.

Here is something in the way of
wide tire law which sounds as if IL
might prove very effective: "The
Oregon wide tire law is now in force.
The law provides that the county
court of each county Is authorized to
make a rebate annually for four years
on the road tax of each person within
it's county who shall own and have in
habitual use on the highways, wagons
or other vehicles for the transport a.
ton of heavy articles, the tires of
which are not less than three inch es
in width, or 81 for each wheel of such
vehicle having tires of not less than
four inches in width, upon
which there Is difference of at
least eight inches in the front and

front and rear wheels will not come
in contact with the read surface while
the vehicle is moving in a straight
line, and shall receive a further re-
bate for four years, on his road tax, OF

Gnme in south Africa.

The South African game animals
have, in recent years, been quickly dis
appearing on account of sportsmen, dis
ease and other causes more or less due
to the advance of civilization. In the
case of many species the numbers have
dwindled from immense herds to only
a scattered few preserved in semiwild
state on the farms of some of the ma
tives and settlers. There can be little
doubt that the present war will still
further diminish the numbers of large
animals, and some of them probably,
as the whitetailed gnu, will be entirely
exterminated, for the Beers, not hav-
ing proper commissariat arrangements,
will undoubtedly slaughter the gnu and
other animals fit for food.-N. Y. Her

over Twenty Uses for Corn.

The Indian corn propaganda at the
Paris exposition and the conventions
recently held in the west, in the, inter-
est of corn producers have brought out
the fact that over 20 important products
are now manufactured from corn. One
of the most important products is dis
titled spirits, the demand for which has
increased greatly since the invention
of smokeless powder, in the manufac-
ture of which the spirits are largely
used. Among the other products made
from corn are mixing glucose, crystal
glucose, grape sugar, anhydrous grape
sugar, special sugar, pearl starch, pow
dered starch, refined grits, hourine,
dextrine, British gum, granulated gum,
gum paste, corn oil, corn oil cake, rub
Der substitute, gluten feed, chop feed,
gluten meal and corn germ. With the
present economical methods of manu-
facture not a particle of corn is wasted
