PEERLESS FOR 1909
ARRIVED LAST WEEK

The long expected 1909 Peerless
Thirty" arrived last week and the
first of the allotment was delivered to
Mrs. e. O. Mclaughlin. The new car
is similar in many respects to the
Peerless cars OF 1908. but with the re-
finements and slight change in the
tenders and lines of the body it has
a more stylish appearance.
The changes in the new car are in
no way radical. L e Peerless cars
have always been comfortable and easy
riding, and the object this year has
been to make it even more so. and
now the factory claims the most COM
Portable and easy riding car made.

A magnificent triumphal arch is a
leading feature. The novel system of
installing signs indicating the exhibits
will result in greater convenience to
the public, and not only not mar the
decorative background of the show, but
will enhance it's value. In fact, the
idea of providing a suitable back
ground, appropriate, adequate and suf-
f1ciently rich for the formal debut of
the 1909 association cars as whole,
has been carried out most successful
~. In consonance with this result the
show committee, consisting of Colonel
George Pope (chairman), Charles Cliff
ton, Marcus 1. Brock and M. L.
Downs, secretary, has spent consid-
cradle time in perfecting details for
improving and facilitating the conduct
of the show and meeting the needs and
desires of the public and the exhib-
itors.
The allotment of space for the pre-

association members prohibiting their
dealers from handling unlicensed cars

future handle agency matters. Cocker

/ have observed that in the case of
valves wherein the slotted extension of
the stem used for grinding purposes
projects above the upper surface of the
valve by any considerable amount there
is tendency for the metal to heat ex-
cessively, thus at times encouraging
pre-ignition. On this account it is
well to have the boss supporting the
slot as short as possible and finished
with good sized fillets. Incidentally
when regrinding an old valve 1t is well
to smooth off any burr which may
have been raised by slipping of the
screw-driver, thus lessening the possi-
bility of trouble ON this score.

There is no greater mistake ever than
to apply the brakes hard enough to
skid the driving wheels, not only be-
cause of the excessive tire wear thus
brought about, which Is the objection
usually given, but also because of the
danger of side slipping. A tire which
has ceased to turn may be supposed to
slide as easily in one direction as an
other. Hence whenever a side stress
of any sort is brought to bear on the
car, as for instance a side slope in the
road, or a stone under one wheel, the
momentum of the vehicle, which alone
impels 1t forward at the instant, may
be partially overcome, thus swinging
the machine violently to one side or the
other. If the wheels are turning slow
ly instead of being firmly locked, they
tend to maintain their direction in spite
of the counter force, and will do so
quite successfully in most instances.
Keep away from the curb. How bad
cars look jammed alongside the curb,

your actual daily farm life offers, and
see what the losses are if you do not
look after the little things.
There is an old saying among the
tailors that "a stitch in time saves
nine" On the farm "a little thing
done at the right time makes several
dollars" The little things on the farm
are so big that a merchant prince, who
figures his profits by the small frac-
tions of hundredths parts, would gasp
in dismay if he met them in his bus
mess. The Farm Star.

THE LITTLE THINGS.

Many farmer has failed because
he did not appreciate the Importance
of the little things"
1t is the small percentage by which
one man surpasses the others that
makes him succeed beyond the 9TH
ers. 1t is the little advantage he
gains here, and the little advantage
he gains there, which added together
make his success overshadow that of
his careless neighbors.
If one grain out of ten of your seed
cora fails to grow, it is little thing,
but it means a loss of one tenth Of
your crop, and with no saving or ex-
pense or effort. If one hog out of a
hundred dies when it might have been
saved, it means several dollars less
profit at the end of the year. If one
chicken out of ten eats and does not
lay, it means the profit of several 9th
er hens lost to keep the drone, and
still with no less work. If one horse
is sick a week because it does not
have proper care after a cold drive
in the storm. it means several hours
Of lost effort taking care of the ami
NAL, and several days of lost work on
the part of the horse, with possibly
a serious disarrangement of your
working plans. If one lamb dies be
cause It was born out doors in the
cold, it means several dollars less
profit from the flock.
Now add these items together and
then multiply the total enough times

EDUCATION.

The most important feature of the
Farmers Union is that of education.

know men who are good tobacco rails
ers, who cannot even write their own
names. Education is knowledge, and
knowledge is knowing how That is
the long and short of it. In the meet
ings of the unions the best methods
of planting and culture will be dis
cussed. In these discussions the man
who succeeds should be heard from.
He may have an awkward way of ex-
pressing himself, but make him talk
and he will tell you something that
will help you. 1t is this kind of edu-
cation that the farmer needs most, the
knowledge of how to do it. 1t is
not always the best tallxer who is
the best farmer. The meetings of the
local unions present the opportunity
for an exchange of experiences. Some
farmers may, and some farmers do
excel in one or two things, while 9th.
ers have made speciality of some
thing else. They exchange views, and
each has the benefit Of the others ex-
parience. Experience. as rule, is
costly. If we can be correctly guided
by the experience of others, we save
both time and expense. 1t is like a
man in strange country coming to
the forks of the road. Both may lead
him to the point he wishes to reach,
but one may be twice as far as the
other, and with toll-gates every mile
If some one comes alorg who has
been over both roads he can advise
him which to take. That is how we
profit by the experience of others
This principle will apply to all the
features of the union. It is what is
meant by the educational feature oi
it. We must profit by the experience
