Highways Congress Give Manufactur-
ers Cold Shoulder.

AS a result of a joint meeting of
manufacturers of road machinery and
materials and representatives OF the
American Association for Highway I'M
provement held in New York, plans
have lust been formulated by the COM
mittee appointed at this meeting Tor
convention of manufacturers at the
great road congress of the American
Association at Richmond, Va, Novem-
Der 2O-23, 1911.
The manufacturers will hold their
meeting on the afternoon of November
21, following the sessions of the high
way engineers, contractors and OIL
Gals and at that time expect to perfect
a permanent organization for the pur-
pose of aiding the cause of road I'M
provement and to cooperate with the
American Association and other sim
liar organizations.
Pending the formation of per-
manent organization of manufacturers
at Richmond, the committee appointed
at the New York conference is actively
cooperating with the American Asso-
citation for Highway Improvement IN
it's efforts to make the Richmond con-
gress the most important and lnhuen-
tial event of its kind ever held, as Wen
as aiding the association to make its
general work most effective. The man
Dfacturers' committee is composed OF
Nat Tyler, Jr., president of the Mon
arch Road Roller CO., chairman; Dan
| lei T. Pierce of the Barber Asphalt
paving Co, secretary; J. A. Robson
president of the Robson Process Co.

T. Beatty, Of the Austin Western Co.
George H. Lewars. of the Good Roads
Machinery Co.. and ]. E. Pennypack-
er. Jr., secretary of the American AS
ISOLATION for Highway Improvement
No exhibits of machinery or ma
terials will be made at the Richmon
congress, as it appears to be the I'M
animous opinion of the manufacturers
that exhibits have proven unsatisfac-
tory in the past and should be elm
mated as a. feature of all future road
conventions.

GIVE WAY TO MACHINES.
Big Coal Dealers Sell Horses and Buy
Motor Trucks.

The coal trade, large users of the
horse. has been quick to see the ad-
vantage of the motor truck over the
horse.
MANY concerns already have done
awav with their horse equipment.
Others are moving more slowly and
are experim enting-
George S. Weller, an enterprising
coal dealer in Newburgh, N. z, saw
the advantage gained in the motor
truck and has since done away with
all of his horse equipment
He has in his service three-ton
truck. This he uses to haul coal from
the railroad coal pockets to his coal
wards With the motor truck he can
haul 1875 to 40 tons of coal in day
With the hrrse so tons were consid-
cred an extra good days work
Among the more conservative ana
large coal dealers is the New England
Coal & Coke company It IS of the
experimenting group
Eleven months ago, last October,
this concern bought a fve-ton truck
A thorough try-out was given It was
nUshed to its utmost during the winter
It was watched closely during the sum-
naer. It has been in continuous service
since 1t was purchased.

K. Q. COACH FINDS KICKER.
Wilson Brings Pleased Smile to Sher-

Lawrence. Kan, Sept. 16.-Coach
Sherwin of Kansas, has at last found
a man who can kick a football. It
has been the prayer of the coach ever
since he reached Lawrence two weeks
ago, that he could find few hooters
of ability on the Kansas squad, when
St first lined up for practice this week.
FOR three days the jersey-clad war
riors have been toiling, but not until
today has a kicker appeared
Harold Wilson. who has played
baseball at the university. turned out
wearing a suit and produced a broad
smile of pleasure on the coach's face
by booting some beautiful punts.
That's just the man we have been
looking for said Sherwin- I'VE must
have good kickers if we are to win
anything this year. He'll and Will
helm, both of whom have played two
years Of football here, are the only
other men who show any promise of
punting As yet, the little Topeka
quarterback has not gained to his last
years form in kicking.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
Ccontlnued from Page one.l

The reason is that these stores
are mere NEIGHBORHOOD
'STORES-doing a small bust
ness-depending wholly on the
custom of perhaps a couple of
hundred families.
Obviously, such stores cannot
afford to advertise in the big
newspapers. HOW THEN ARE
THEY TO ADVERTISE? There
are only a few ways for them to
do so, viz:
Sending well-written letters
to all of the families in the
neighborhood telling about the
goods they have for sale-using
posters and signs in their neigh
borhood wherever they can get
the space for them-displayin9
their merchandise in their win
dows-but better than all of
these is ADVERTISING IN
THE WEEKLY NEIGHBOR-
HOOD PAPER, if one is issued.
There must be advertising of
some kind done and if it is effec-
tive the business will grow, and
the small storekeeper may be
able to acquire stores in differ
ent neighborhoods. Then he can
lBRANCH OUT WITH HIS AD-
VERTISING PROGRAM and
buy space in the big newspapers,
like so many others have done
before him.
This applies only to the very
large communities; in the small
er communities, where every
body knows everybody else, THE
ONE MEDIUM TO USE ALL
OF THE TIME is THE DAILY
HOME NEWSPAPER.
You must realize that good
advertising of whatever nature,
must have a basis of old-fashion-
ed common sense and must be
done in accordance with a shop
keepers ability to pay for it.

Men Who Buy Parts and Repair Their
Instruments at Home.
Ones notion of piano hardware is
likely to be that it is material dwarf
Gus sorts used in the manufacture and
repair Of pianos, an idea that would
be in the main correct, but at the
same time there is more or less Of
such material sold at retail to private
owners of pianos who may be skilled
in the use Of tools and who undertake
to do their own repairing to save ex-
pense, and such purchasers may in
clude men who have no knowledge of
music, though they may have the me-
chanical experiences required for the
job.
Obviously no great skill is required
in replacing broken caster. A man
can buy single caster and put it on
himself If he wants to, or he could in
like manner replace broken hinge or
a screw, and he can buy any Of these
things. But the home repairer does
more ambitious work still-as, for in

How Machinery ereathss.

An English writer on engineering
subjects, Mervyn O'Gorman, calls at
tention to the fact that piece of ma
chinery, such as an automobile, laid
aside after being used is in danger Of
internal rusting through kind of res
piration which affects cylinders, gear
boxes, clutch chambers, interspaces in
ball bearings, and so forth. Every in
closed air space ''breathes'' by draw
ing in air when fall Of temperature
contracts its walls and expelling it
when the walls expand through heat.
The moisture introduced with the air
is deposited in the cavities and may
produce serious damage through rust.
The popular belief that oil will pro-
tect the inaccessible parts of unused
machinery is fallacious, since nearly
all oils take up about 8 per cent Of
water in solution.
