HIGH COST FOR MOTOR BOAT
No Expense Spared in Building
the Chackawana.

Captain F. B. Turner, a retired Yukon
River steamboat man. has just had
launched an auxiliary schooner-rigsed
yacht at Vancouver, b. c. The new boat
has been named the Chackawana, the mu-
sical Indian word for snowbird. and will
be the most notable addition TO the Royal
Vancouver Yacht Club feet that has been
built for several years
The boat cost about $4,000 up to the time
OF her launching, but there will be many
other incidental equipment expenses that
will run the total considerably over that
sum. The Chackawana measures s. feet
over all. with a beam OF IA feet. and VIII
draw close TO six feet OF water, with all
supplies and stores on board. She is solid
ly constructed, her keel. stem and stern
post being OF Australian spotted gum'
hard and tough wood. even superior TO OAK
in that respect All OF the rest OF the UNI
ber. with the exception OF the white oak
frame and ribs is Of native wood. Tne en-
tire interior is finished in selected panelled
fir.
The Chackawana is unusual In that she
is fitted TO be handled from three different
places. Under power in fine weather she
can be steered from a wheel on the orldge
deck back Of the pilot house. In wet or
rough weather she will be handled from
the cosey pilot house. When under sail she
can be steered from the cockpit aft.

BY Burton Parker. of the WHY'S Overland
Company.

That merchants and manufacturers in all
lines are alive 10 the value Of the COM
mercial car Is evident 20 all who get a
broad view Of the situation. The pro-
gressive business man OF to-day avails him.
self Of every modern device for doing
things economically, which at the same
time is always a saver Of ime and labor.
The development Of the commercial car
has reached the stage now where II is not
necessary for the merchant 10 ask If It is
practical, but, rather, which type Is most
practical for his purpose and the condi-
tions Of the roads within his business ter
ritory. Merchants of all classes in large
cities and small towns realize that one OF
their most difficult problems IS that Of
making deliveries. Prompt delivery service
IS an asset worth many hundreds of dol
lars. AS a motor-propeiled vehicle can
cover three times as much mileage in a
given time a horse-drawn wagon, II stands
20 reason that deliveries will not only be
prompt. but the service can be extended
many miles, thus increasing the territory
from which trade may be drawn without
increasing overhead expense.
The following figures give a fair esti-
mate Of auto-wagon delivery as compared
with the horse wagon.
The average cost Of one horse and de-
livery wagon, covering approximately SO
miles, for one month is as follows

month is as follows:

Total cost per month h.....-...............$s5 .$s5 20
In comparing these two tables we must
arrive at the conclusion that the dif-
ference in mileage IS 1,664 miles in favor
of the auto-wagon. On the basis shown,
the cost a mile for the horse and wagon
is s. cents. while the cost Of the automobile
is only 81 cents a mile. From the above
II is plain that the auto-wagon is much the
cheaper 10 operate, considering the ex-
pense per mile
When we further consider that the auto
mobile travels three times the distance OF
the horse. and consequently does the work
of three horses with one driver. It is a
very simple problem TO figure out how an
outfit Of this kind will pay for itself in a
surprisingly short time. one other thing
is TO be considered: that horses are an eX-
pense whether they are in service or not

SHARE SYSTEMS IN TOBACCO
Favored Plan Is for Landlord to Fur.

The most favored method Of letting
tobacco land is for the landlord to
furnish the land, the tobacco sheds
the fertilizer, and the necessary
horses. tools and machinery for pro-
ducing the crop, while the tenant per.
forms all Of the labor required from
the planting Of the seed to the de-
livery Of the crop upon the market
The expenses for twine, wrapping pa
per, etc., are shared equally.
A large number of the tobacco
share tenants are men of little means.
Some of these have the reputation of
being In debt for years living by
the time their crop is ready to mar
ket. The tendency on the part of
these tenants to mortgage their crops
and then to abandon the same In
case the crop does not promise to
turn out well has led in Wisconsin
to making the contract in the form
of "An Agreement to Work Land"
In accordance with this agreement,

fasten together down the front as ac-
curately as II the fastenings were on.
Another point to remember is to do
the trying on over as heavy dress
as you will likely wear it over. Work
over this trial material until 1t is per-
feet in line, shape and length. then
cut apart exactly on the seam lines
and press out again.
In using this cloth for a pattern to
cut the material by, do not forget to
allow enough space between the pieces
for the necessary seams. Chalk these
plainly, using French chalk in color
which will show distinctly. Where
there is no up and down to be looked
out for, one can lay the pieces on the
material, with the latter folded down
the middle. thus cutting two at one
time.
If the pattern measures too wide on
any piece to do this, the cloth will
have to be opened out, and the two
ends folded together, because there
should be no piecing If it can be avoid
ed. Mark all seams close to the mus
lin. with tailors' tacks. Remove the
pieces of the pattern, cut the tacks
apart, being careful to leave thread in
each piece Of the cloth, and baste the
seams together and try on.
There should be no alterations, still.
one should take the precaution to try
the coat on 30 as to make sure The
fronts are reinforced with the softest
quality Of tailor's canvas, and this
strip should reach up to the shoulders,
and be stitched In with the seam.

most important parts OF the work. It
| Is difficult to give much idea of this
work in few words and there is not
space for more, but each part of the
work should be pressed as the coat
progresses, and no prints Of the iron
must be left.
Never hold the iron long in any one
| place, and II by chance there Is a gloss
anywhere, sponge the place lightly and
brush against the nap with a clothes
brush. This usually removes It. Where
the pressing has to be done on the
right side, lay heavy piece of un.

stitch 1t one-quarter Of an inch from
the edge, press 1t open, and bring the

MADE FOR EATING RoUGHAGE
Many Animals, Like Cow, sheep, Deer.
Etc., Provided by Nature With
Four Stomachs.

Nature has provided the animals
that chew the cud. as COWS, sheep,
deer, camels, ETC., with four stomachs.
when these animals eat grass or hay
1t Is chewed but little and goes into
the paunch or first stomach. which
In COW has the capacity OF barrel.
The animal then brings the food up
from the paunch and rechews It and
now 1t goes to the third stomach,
often called manypiles. It is made up
OF folds with rough surfaces arranged
SO that the food must pass back and
forth several times and be ground still
more. From here the food passes to
the fourth stomach, where digestion
takes place. This fine provision for
grinding the food enables these ami
mails to live on hay and grass. The
second stomach is used for holding
water. 1t has honeycomb structure.
In the comb each cell is as large as a
cup and closes when full of water,
only giving 1t up as required.
Grain should be fed with roughage
as then 1t goes into the first stomach
and VIII be rechewed II the grain
Is eaten alone 1t is apt to go to the
third stomach and so miss the re-
chewing. To make sure that the feed
Is thoroughly chewed feed 1t with
roughage. The best way is to cut the
hay or straw, mix the grain feed with
1t. then 1t will go through the whole
grinding process.

For general, every day wear there is

played more important part in the
wardrobe than It does today, writes
Anna R. Morehouse, In the Chicago
Tribune.
An evening cloak seems a necessity
and If one feels capable to attempt
the making of these things, the work
is pretty certain to be real pleasure,
besides being an economy.
Broadcloth or velvet are too difficult
materials to handle, to choose at first
for the evening cloak, on account of
the nap. Silk and wool poplin, heavy
satin, or serge or cheviot will be suit
able. For the separate coat there are

Buy Pattern First.
1t Is sNsensible to buy a pattern be-
fore the material. The pieces of the
pattern can be held up to one to see II
the length is right, and one can figure
carefully on the amount needed of the
coat material, the satin lining and
everything which will be necessary In
the making. II the material chosen
for the coat is woolen, 1t must be
shrunken, and this can be done at the
place where the purchase is made, or
1t can be done at home.
Wiring sheet out of cold water, lay
It out fiat on table, and lay the coat
material on it-leaving the material
folded down the middle. Roll the
sheet and cloth up together, watching
carefully to see that you keep both
smooth. Allow this to lay over night
or until the cloth is thoroughly damp
enet. then take out of the sheet and
press on the wrong side until perfectly
dry.
First Method Of Making.
Cut the coat first out OF some old
muslin which has been pressed
smooth, and baste together as careful
ly as II you were sewing on the coat
material. In trying on for a fitting
