soon after covered with snow thousands
of acres Of unhusked, ungathered corn.
But exactly on the first day Of March,
1910. spring weather arrived. the snow
was melted off, the ground dried and
husking was the order OF the day all
over Iowa. At this writing twenty one
days Of continuous sunshine has been
the record in central Iowa. And on the
21st Of March, the real first spring day,
many teams in and around Eldora
were gathering corn, much OF it in
better condition than that put in the

The situation has become SO serious in

CHAPTER III-Continued.

Wayne had recalled a good many things
about Paddock. but the mood he had
brought from his fathers house did not
yield readily to the confessions Of this
boyhood friend who had reappeared in
the livery Of the Christian ministry. The
new status was difficult for Craighill to
accept and. conscious of the antagonism
his recital had awakened, Paddock re-
GREETED that he had volunteered his story.
The Craighill whom he had known was
everybody liked; the man before him was
morose and obstinately resentful; and the
fact that he had caught him in his own
Office at an unusual hour, about to in
dVlge his notorious appetite for drink.
was in itself an unhappy circumstance
The bottle and the glass were. to say the
least. an unfortunate background for re-
union. Paddock touched Wayne's knee
lightly: he wished to regain the ground
he had lost by his frankness, which had
SO signally failed of response.

MODERN BARBER POLES.
Revolving Pole, Electric or Wind
Driven-Steel and Cast Iron.

from the new 1orh sun.
Electricity within recent years has
been applied to the barber pole. The
electric or revolving barber pole has for
a middle section a glass cylinder that Is
two feet or more in height by about eight
inches In diameter, this section being sup
ported en- an ornamental base or on
stout brass rod rising from the sidewalk.
The glass section OF the pole is surmount-
ed by an ornamental cap.
Within the glass section Of the pole is
another cylinder made Of thin. light
weight. translucent material, upon which
are painted the traditional spiral stripes
Of red. white and blue. the familiar sign
Of the barber. This inner cylinder is
pivoted top and bottom and made to re-
voive by means of tiny electric motor
attached at the top. Current Is carried
to this motor on wire leading from an
electric light fixture within the building
and up out of sight inside the poles base
Within the inner cylinder of the electric
revolving barber pole are two incandes-
cent electric lights by which the pole can
be illuminated at night.
The electric barber pole, without a base
support. Is also made In the form of a
bracket pole which can be attached to the
front OF building: and both these styles
of revolving barber poles are also made
TO be wind-driven. Instead Of a motor
within it, with wires connecting. the
wind-driven revolving pole has surmount-
ing its ornamental cap gilded wind ball
In form not unlike a globe-shaped VEN
tilating fan. The wind ball is attached
to the poles inner striped cylinder. and
when the breezes turn the ball 1t turns
the inner cylinder.
Formerly all barber poles were made of
wood, as still great numbers are; and IL
wooden barber pole Is made OF sound
timber and set where its base will keep
dry il will last for many years, but il
the pole Is set where water collects at its
foot 1t will rot there.
A few years ago there was produced a
barber pole of latticed iron construction.

Der pole is one that has its cylindrical,
column section formed OF sheet steel.

A prominent tire manufacturer in a
recent interview relative to the question
of the worlds supply of rubber becoming
exhausted has this to say on the subject
NO. the worlds supply of rubber is
not being exhausted. On the contrary, it
is increasing quite rapidly. The cause OF
the present shortage is that the rate OF
increase in the supply has fallen far be-
low the rate of increase of the demand.
This condition is easily explained when
say that approximately % to 30 per cent
of the worlds total output of rubber will
be used this year in the manufacture of
automobile tires. And this demand for
rubber created by the automobile has
grown up from nothing to approximately
% to 80 per cent of the total output in
ten years time.

Already there are more events scheduled
to arouse the interest in motoring about
ST. Louis and adjacent territory for this
spring than the city has seen in all its
past history combined.
Two important events, to be held next
month, already are eliciting considerable
comment and attracting attention of the
public. although there is some confusion
due to the fact that it is hard for the
average ST. Louisian to believe that there
VIII be two important reliability runs
held from this point the same month.
Two of the most brilliant stars in the
racing galaxy are Louis Chevrolet and
Robert Burman. These two men. who
were mates on the Buick team of last
year, and who won for these cars many
notable victories. will be racing compan-
ions again for this years season. They
will drive the cars of the General Motor
