he expects to secure maximum ser vice. A car should never be driven in street car tracks nor the tires all lowed to come in contact with obstruc- tions that can, by a little care be avoided. Likewise corners should not be taken at high speed. A moments consideration will show the effect produced as the car skids around, and the force the tires must withstand
 Also, driving at top speed the great part of the time will result in the tire mileage being less than would be obtained.
 Expensive switches are now market ed for dual ignition, which enable the driver to employ magneto and accu- mulator ignition separately or togeth- CT, and even to use either of two ac- cumulators or both accumulators at once. But these switches are decided ly costly. and certain makers prefer to fit two or three separate switches A car fitted with a series of separate switches is a dangerous possession
 For instance, the spark must be fully advanced for starting up on the ma- chine and tolerably retarded for starting up on the accelerators. Soon- CT or later the driver is pretty sure to approach the starting handle with both switches ''set" and the spark full forward, when a broken wrist will very likely be the sequel. In the ab- sence of a composite switch, great care in inspecting the position of the levers is necessary before a finger is laid on the starting handle.

 The preliminary estimate of the area of corn planted is 114, ,0S3, 900 acres, an increase of $5,3 900 acres (4.9 per cent.), as compared with the final es- innate of last years acreage.
 The average condition of the corn crop on July 1 was 85.4 as compared with S9.3 on July 1, 1909; S2.8 on July 1, 1908, and S5.1 the ten year average on July 1.
 The amount of wheat remaining on farms is estimated at 5.3 per cent. of last years crop or about 3S, 730, ,00( bushels, as compared with 15,O62, ,OOO on July 1. 1909. and 3S,70s.0o0 the average amount on farms on July 1 for the past ten years.
 The average condition of winter wheat on July 1 or when harvested was S1.5 as compared with 800 last month, SPA at harvest. 1909; 806 in 1908 and SIS the average at time of harvest for the past ten years.

In the recent announcement of his candidacy for the Democratic Senator ial nomination. Mayor Thayer of Nor wich suggested that each legislative candidate be required to pledge him. self to some one of the Senatorial aspirants. and that those who refuse to do so. be labelled For Sale."
 There is now some talk of having the town caucuses express their pref erences for U. 8. Senator The An sonia Sentinel. discussing this matter, says:
 It seems probable that more of the hepuoitean nominating caucuses this year. than ever before, will express a Senatorial preference. and that the caucus which succeeds in nominating representatives who will carry out the wish of the caucus will be fortunate In no other way can the voter have an expression of opinion in the choosing Of a United States Senator. And if the will Of the caucus is ascertained before any nominations are made, the man who cannot cOnscientiously agree to carry out that wish. has no business to accept the responsibility of becom- ing the nominee of that caucus. This is fair politics. but not the kind that has been played in some Connecticut cities in past years.
 The Thayer method and the plan of caucus expression of preference might be combined That is, the candidate might be pledged specifically to the caucus preference. This would remove the danger of the candidates refusal to obey the caucus decree. for such things have, been known.

Women who are fortunate enough to have small feet are made doubly for tunate at present by the clearing out sale of low shoes in small sizes at Mollan's. Unusual and unmistakable bargains in narrow widths and small sizes are offered in tan and black shoes of latest cuts. Broken lots in ends of lines give a choice of a great number of styles of low shoes of best makes. This is a chance to get high priced shoes at low prices. These shoes are of the latest designs and best feathers. Accurate fitting is a special feature at Mollan's, 1926 Main street.

MOVING PICTURES
OF THE FIGHT

Shall moving pictures of the John son-Jeffries fight be displayed through out the country, Is question which is being widely discussed. Many chief executives of States and cities have expressed opinions. and some have taken decisive action. It is not diff ficult to understand Southern opposi- ton to the picture exhibitions. The South fears the effect upon the colored people of witnessing in detail the de- feat of white man by a negro. Here in the North. the same objection does not obtain. or at least not in the same degree.
 The principal objection to the moving pictures, and the one upon which most prohibitions of them are based. is that the exhibition would be demoralizing. To some unascertainable extent. the objection is probably well-founded. whether the degree of demoralization would be sufficiently great to warrant prohibition, is a question for each State or city to decide for itself through its constituted authorities.
 There is. however. a legal question involved. It is probable that very few cities have ordinances under which these moving pictures can be forbid den exhibition, and there is a question whether the so-called general police power" covers the point. It tis a very wide power. and if the exhibition of these pictures would be likely to cause rioting. the power of prevention may rest with the peace authorities.
 Of course. the owners of the pictures who have expended large sums in their procurement and who naturally expect heavy profits from their exhibition, will contend against prohibition and will appeal to the courts. It is not possible to forecast the decisions in such cases. but it is easy to predict that the litigation will be lengthy.
 And we doubt very much whether the exhibition of these pictures would be as profitable as expected.
