"Why have you quit trading with us.

The reply was not what the merchant

he suspected with good reason that she
was even then waiting train to take

TALE OF WIDE TIRES.
Practical Plan For Highway Super
visors to Follow.

Practical Plan For Highway Super
visors to Follow.
A good and practical suggestion to
road supervisors and others who have
charge of road maintenance may be
found in the following tale of the use
OF the wide instead of the narrow tires,
says the Good Roads Magazine. The
story was told TO Paul ID. Sargent,
highway commissioner of the state of
Maine, by county commissioner of
the same state:
THE heavy teamlng in our town is
confined mainly to the three miles of
dirt road, over which lime rock is haul
ed from the quarries to the kilns. This
teaming has been done for years on
two and five-tenths inch tires, with
hind wheels fifty-six inches and front
wheels fifty inches in diameter.
The resulting repairs, made neces-
sary by the continual hauling of heavy
loads on narrow tires. has cost this
town thousands of dollars. In order
that this might be remedied we made
an agreement with the lime rock haul
ers to furnish them with the wide tired
wheels fitted to their wagon. aXles,
with the understanding that If upon
fair trial and experiment they should
prove to be of mutual advantages the
haulers should buy the wheels of the
town.
ION consultation with the manufac-
turers we ordered the sizes above
given (rear wheels, ffty-siX inches;
front. fifty inchesD. They arrived
about the 1st OF July, 1903, and
from that time until about the 2lst Of
August | used my best endeavors to
get them adjusted to the wagons ana
used. but the haulers claimed that the
forty-four inch wheels were so much
lower than the old ones that the rocks
and ruts would 'trig' them; also that
they would lower the body so much
that the tongue would 'slat and break
the horses legs. And who Will pay
the damage? was the question.
"As last resort we put the wheels
on one of their wagons anu hauled
rock for them one day. Our teamster
hauled the same loads and followed in
the old tracks. The road was In a
very dangerous condition at this time
and badly rutted, so that even light
driving wagons sank TO their hubs IN
some places. The wide tires soon filled
the ruts so that the wagons with the
narrow tires actually hauled more rock
ON the last or fourth turn that day
than they did in the morning.
After seeing the work OF these
wheels for one day the owner OF the
wagon wanted the whole equipment
Immediately. and applications for the
other three sets came so fast that we
were unable to shift the gearing quick
Iv enough. In fact. one teamster drove
his team for week without brakes In
order TO have the wide tires sooner
Since that time the wheels have been
I'm constant use summer and winter
AT the time OF this writing The
same amount OF rock is hauled in three
turns that was formerly hauled pei
day in four turns by the same teams
and the drivers claim that the work L
done easier by the horses. The sane
stretch which was the hardest place
for the narrow tires Is now crossed
easily"
