Pointers For The Motorist
THE PROPER WAY TO INITIATE !
TIRE

Incorrect imitation is one of the COM
monest causes of tire deterierotion and
to initiate to much is just as bad as to
initiate to little.
Over imitation not only subjects the
canvas of the envelope to an Unnecessary
strain but also robs the tire of its re-
siliency. Thus, when running over an
obstruction an over-infated tire in
stead of absorbing the shock, transmits
the full force of the jolt to the me-
chanism of the car.

First initiate the ear to the proper
pressure and then make tests froa
time to tine to assure yourself that the
air pressure is up to the standard neoss-
sary for q tire Of the size used when
supporting its maximum weight. II
the pressure has decreased the cause
may be readily discovered. The seat
of the valve plug may not be perfectly
clean, causing leak at that point. or if
the rubber washer at the base of the
valve cap is displaced. the air will
gradually escape. Then again. il
pinchers were used in tishtsning the
valve parts. the screw threads may be
damaged causing q leak.
Always initiate tires with air. never
using gas. Carbonic gas will pass
through rubber thirteen times more
quickly than air. In addition to the
slight enlargement of new tire after
being in use for . few days . further
natural decrease of pressure will follow,
due to the escape Of oxygen in the con-
fined air. This loss should be made up
by the injection Of more air. Al this
is done the percentage Of nitrogen will
be gradually increased and the liability
of slow defstion will decrease in pro-
portion.

imitation for tires of different sizes and

Cattle prices spread out more last
week than any week before this sum-
mer, he best cattle selling strong to
25c higher, middle and lower grades
15c to soc lower. Some of the thin
light weight quarantine cattle were
punished even more severely, buyers
seizing one of the few opportunities
that have come to them this summer
to bear down prices. Nobody believes
the depression will stick, because ev.
erybody thinks cattle supplies this
fall are going to be slim all around.

prospects encourage the buying of
stock steers, which sell at 1915 to

for a decline, which went into effect

IN OLD DoRDREcHr.
Editorial Correspondence.

Dordrecht, July

Dordrecht, July %.
a This is the oldest town in Holland
and once upon a time was the great
commercial city. It is about fifteen
miles from Rotterdam. and remember
that fifteen miles is long distance
in this country. 1t is built upon an
, island, and two rivers and any num-
Der of canals run around it and
through it whenever the tide ebbs or
flows. Good sized ocean steamers
come ITO, its wharves and until other
cities developed deeper harbors, Dor
drecht was the Hutchinson of south
west Holland. And now let me ex-
plain that the people Of this country
DO not call it Holland but the Meth
erland. Originally Holland was the
western part of the present Neither
land. Dordrecht is in old South Hol-
land. About nine hundred years ago,
the Count of Holland, who then ruled
in this precinct, decided to levy a
8 tax or tariff on all goods shipped
on this route, the main travelled road
from England to the Orient The
other counts and kings and bishops
kicked, but after fight the right of
the Count OF Holland was vindicated
and he built the city of Dordrecht as
a sort OF customs house. This was
in 1908. For several hundred years
Dordrecht prospert d and was known
as a great commercial city. Then
Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam
came forward with bette" harbors and
Dordreeht took a back seat. But it
. always been one of the important
places in the Netherland. When viii
liam of Orange took hold of the Rev.
Olution against Spain, the first .on-
ference of the representatives of the
Dutch states was held in Dor lrecht
and it was always loyal to the cause
of Dutch freedom. Tie best hotel
and restaurant in the city today is
The Orange, named for the royal
house which has so long been at the
head of the Dutch government. My
idea of a really important statesman
is one for whom hotels and cigars aye
named centuries after he has passed
away.
This is Sunday and I am forced to
believe that the Dutch are not good
church goers. We went to the even
ing service in the great cathedral In
fact we went to the cathedral and
suddenly the service began without
eOur having time to retire gracefully.
So we decided to stay and in prom
inent place was a list of the prices OF
seats. Some cost ten cents, some five
soents and some were marked free.
handed ten cents to the lady in
charge and we took twoseatS in the
rear, which I afterward discovered
were free. The women seem to run
the church much as they do at home.
The Dutch hymns were not so bad,
Barton County democrat., 1911-08-18

and are generally fencd in. They
belong to the abutting property and
are not to be walked on by the pub
lie. The people walk in the street
and that custom is little hard to get
used to-. Before the front window of
nearly every house is a mirror, so
fastened that those within the house
can see up and down the street, OBJ
serve who is coming and who is 60
ing and where. The custom, if intro
duced at home would save a good
deal Of neck stretching. But at first
on is overly conscious of the many
eyes which are observing his walk
and the many minds which are un-
doubtedly trying to guess just where
and why and who. But this mirror
custom does no bother the Dutch
young folks, not much. 1t is also
the custom for the young man and his
sweetheart to parade along the street
hand in hand, arm in arm, or catch
as catch can, if they want to-and
they want to great deal. At first
this looked like rude demonstration
Of affection, but after you have OBJ
served it some, say for an hour or so,
il doesn't seem half bad-if you were
only Dutch.
Dordrecht has about 100000 people
and all of them are on the street or
at the window on Sunday. The sa-
looms are open but nothing is sold
stronger than gin. The Dutch in a
quiet, gentlemanly and ladylike way,
are evidently trying to consume all
the beer that can be made in Holland
and imported. Of course they can It
succeed but, as the story goes, they
can pobably make the breweries
work nights. There is really a need
for a temperance organization in this
country and l should say it would
have work enough to last it several
thousand years.
W. Y. MORGAN.
Barton County democrat., 1911-08-18

but the Dutch sermon was not inter
eSting to me. During the closing
song. we thought we would slip out
quietly, but when we reached the
door We found it was locked. The Gus
tom is to lock the door and allow no
one to enter or leave during the SER
vice, but as a special favor to Ameri-
cans, who evidently did not know
what they were doing, the guardian
of the door unlocked it and out we
went amid general interest of the
congregation.
We came from Rotterdam on a lit
tie steamboat which scooted along
the rivers and canals like a street car
Very often the canal was built higher
than the adjoining land and it gave
the peculiar feeling of boating in the
air. There is 20 waste ground. Every
foot of it not occupied by a house or
chicken yard, ispasture or under GU
tivatiOn. Every farmer has a herd
Of those black and white cattle. Some
Of the herds are as many as six or
seven cows. But every COW acted like
she was doing her full duty toward
making Holland the wealthiest of ma
tions.
The streets of Dordrecht are gen.
orally narrow, like those of all old
towns. Many OF the buildings are very
old and a favorite style of architec-
ture is to have the frontlean several
feet forward over the street. The
tops of opposite buildings often al
most meet. l don't see why they do
not meet and come down kerwhack but
they don't. Imagine these quaint
streets with old Dutch houses, white
and blue with red tiled roofs and
them color, with angles and dormers
green and yellow thrown in to give
and curious corners, the ops project
ing towards each other, and you can
see how interesting a Dutch street
can be if it tries as it does in Dor
drecht. Of course, in the outer and
newer part of town are larger streets
and more modern houses, with beau
tiful gardens and flower beds that
would BATTLE a painter for color, but
old Dordrecht is the most interesting.
Add to the street picture | have tried
, to make canal down the middle and
you get a frequent variation. Put odd
Dutch boats in the water, fill them
with freight and children, and you
have another. If this were not pictur
eSque it would be grotesque to Amer
lean eyes but it is the actual develop
ment of Dutch civilization, and it is
the thing you pay money for when
some artist catches the inspiration
which he can get here if anywhere.
Of course the streets are paved
and they are as clean as the floor of
an ordinary American dwelling. Ev.
cry one knows that the Dutch are
clean and that their national emblem
ought to be a Scrubbing brush. They
are so clean that it almost hurts
