Cartercar

Because of this, very high percentage
OF the power developed in the motor IS
delivered TO the rear wheels.
The Cartercar has no clutch to slip
no gears TO strip-no grease packings to
renew-no universal oints-no shaft
drive-no bevel gears-and best of all,
no noise.
1t is controlled with a single lever,
making it still easier to operate.
The Model shown above is the best
family and general purpose car you can
buy because OF these features:
1t is a car which you can depend upon.
The cost OF operating is surprisingly
small.
If YOU want smaller car with plenty
OF power, make it point to see the Model

HOrtense Nielsen and Obdurate
T0stumer Enact Scene Not
Down on Program

OAKLAND. Aug. 11.-A scene not in
cluded among the regular stage set
tings used in the production of Mrs.
Temples Telegram was created at the
Macdonough theater as the curtain was
about to rise last night, when Mrs. j.
H Rubin, proprietor of a c,ostuming
house at 1904 Golden Gate ave nue., San
Francisco. accompanied by Constable
H T. Hampstead and several assist
ants and carrying writ of replevin
for several costly gowns used by Miss
Hortense Nielsen as Mrs. Temple in the
play, appeared on the stage and de-
manded that Miss Nielsen either pay a
bill of $50 standing against her for the
use of the garments or disrobe herself
and give up the gowns at once.
The members of the cast were in
their places, the final adjustment of
stage properties had been made and the
stage manager, Thomas Phillips, was
ready to give the signal that would
hoist the curtain and start the per-
formance, when the disturbance in the
wings broke out.
II don't want your old things
flashed. Miss Nielsen. II wouldn't wear
them now for anything. l couldn't act
my part in them after all this" And
Constable Hampstead mechanically
threw the several disputed gowns
across his arm, with the statement that
If the young woman did not have the
money she could still make use of the
costumes and thus not longer delay the
performance by furnishing a bond. Miss
Nielsen scornfully refused, and Mrs.
Rubin, Constable Hampstead and the
assistants departed, carrying with
them the replevined costumes.
While the management of the theater
held the curtain special messengers
were sent out on wild chase
for suitable gowns and finally, through
q friend of Mrs. Cooper, a member of
the company, the much needed COS
tunes were secured-and Phillips
pressed the curtain button with un-
usual energy.
The seizure was the outcome of a
suit for payment on the robes. which
were obtained in San Francisco last
week, when the company was playing
there, but which were mot to be used
until the Oakland engagement. Miss
Nielsen said today:
''I have gowns of my own for the
part of Mrs. Temple, but left them at
Los Angeles, when l signed UP with
the Stockwell company to appear in
San Francisco last week in a different
play. | purchased new robes from Mrs.
Rubin and Phillips o. KID the bill

CHUL wheat IS
HIGHLY PRAISED
Expert Declares Flour Made
From Grain Is of Excellent
Quality.

BERKELEY, Aug. 11.-Chul wheat,
ful growing on the steppes of Russia
without irrigation, has received praise
from H. Il. Blanchard, government
agronomist, who formerly co-operated
with the university in cereal expert
ments. Blanchard backed the praise
which Prof. George w. Shaw recently
showered on the new grain and de-
clared that Chul wheat has been very
successfully raised in the San Joaquin
valley.
Blanchard said of it:
In the fall of 1908 / received from the
office of grain investigations a small lot of
chul wheat for experimental purposes in
our cooperative work. Since then this var-
ETY. has been grown at the several grain
experiment stations in the state, where the
results obtained are very favorable
At Modesto and Ceres we have grown
white Australian alongside chuI wheat with
the following results for three years:
Bushels Per Acre
ohu, -. 1929 1s0s as,s asos 5so$ 5sas
Australian -. 1873 51.3 40
Chul produces from four to nine bushels
more to the acre of grain that makes
more -four to the hundred pounds than Aus
-traiian or club, and the -four produced makes
bread equal to that made from Australian
hour and better than that made from club
-four. The Oakdale milling company of Oak
dale has made -four from chul wheat. and a
test indicates nearly twice as much wet
gluten as from ordinary wheat grown In
California. All tests show the chul -four to
be of excellent strength and quality.
Chul wheat is vigorous, upright grower.
1t may be seeded in November late
the fall part of February and produce a good
crop: The earlier seeding will usually give
the best yield. 1t does not require long
growing the Australian and club
varieties and will mature with less rainfall
than the commonly grown varieties. 1t
does not shatter.
A limited amount of chul wheat may
be obtained by making application to
the College of Agriculture, Berkeley.
