A VERY HARD TRIP.

Just as some folks seem to have the
faculty for doing the wrong thing, so
some owners of automobiles appear to
possess a talent for picking out the
worst time of year or the meanest
roads for long trip in a good car
deserving of judicious handling. A
recent trip from Oklahoma to the Pa
cific Coast in a 1910 four cylinder
Mitchell roadster owned by E. R. Reed
of Newkirk, Okla, affords a case in
point Accompanied by c. M Nor
gan and A. D. Hunt, he left Newkirk
the latter part of January and reach
ed Los Angeles last month
I'VE camped out in the daytime for
our meals most Of the way" Reed
has written his friends. Whenever
we brought the Mitchell to stop all
three of US went into action. 1 built
the fire and made the coffee, Morgan
prepared the grub, and Hunter went
cunning for small game. AS a result
the eating was fine.
Though we started during the
rainy season we enjoyed fine weather
nearly all the way but the wet roads
had been chopped to pieces by the
heavy teaming,'' continues the account
of the trip 1.-The. roads in Oklahoma
were fairly good, but further west
they were fierce. We followed the
old Santa F'e trail a considerable dis
tance and entered Arizona from New
Mexico over roads that surely need
fixing The grades in New Mexico
are steep. but the trails in Arizona are
fierce. indeed. We crossed the Colo

stream on a funny old ferry boat.

WATCH WIDTH OF MARK.

In order to detect chauffeurs who
are prone to drive their cars with the
tires improperly inflated, a New York
taxicab company has hit upon a novel
and time-saving scheme. This firm
uses tires of 80 by 41s-inch dinnen-
sions and they are supposed to be
inflated to a pressure of ninety pounds
BY the simple experiment. of running
a car over a newly whitewashed floor
it was found that tires at this pres
sure left a track of uniform width.
Thereafter they stationed a colored
man at the entrance to the garage,
and as each car leaves the building
it must pass over a spot covered with
fresh whitewash. Immediately the
inspector whips out a rule and
measures the width of the track, and
if it exceeds the proper width the
driver is sent back to properly initiate
his tries. An exact system of account
ing has proved that this method has
resulted in prolonging the length of
the life of tires.

INCREASED DEMAND FOR CARS.
A heavy demand for motor cars OF
the higher grade is indicated by the
early season figures of the Packard
Motor Car Company. During the
week ending April %. which followed
the announcement of the 1912 line,
specifications for 20S cars were receiv-
ed at the factory, which means that
number of contracts signed by indi-
these orders was 135 '.Thirties'', So
Skies and II "Eighteens." The
corresponding week Of the 1911 season
showed 153 cars. The increase is 80
per cent. More Packard cars and
greater percentage of the seasons

GIVING THE HORSE A JOY RIDE
The Hebard Express and Van Com
pany of Chicago had a contract for a
household removal to Downer's Grove,
Illinois, 81 miles from the city, which
van and Packard auto-van. The
usual procedure with a horse-drawn
vehicle after a trip Of this kind would
be to put the horses in a livery stable,
the driver going to a hotel and making
the return trip the next day In this
instance the next day fell on Sunday
which would have meant time and
one-half for the driver during his alb
sence from the city Therefore the
two hores were loaded into the Pack
ard auto-van and the horse-drawn
vehicle was attached as a trailer. The
return trip of 81 miles was made in
good time and the horses were placed
in their barns at nine Saturday night
About week previously, one of the
horse-drawn vans was overturned on
Hubbards Hill, % miles from the
heart of the city. One of the horses
was killed. Two Packard auto-vans
were on the same job. One of them
took the load from the overturned
horse-drawn van and delivered it.
The dead horse was then placed in
one of the Packard vans, the live
horse took his position in the other
and the horse-drawn van being at
tached as a trailer, the return trip
was made to the barn.

NEW WORLDS RECORD.

1t is difficult for the mind to realize
the wonderful speed attained by Bob
Burman when he made a mile in %. 40
seconds at Daytona, with Firestone
tires on his Bitten Benz. This is a
new worlds record that is likely to
stand for a long time and means a
speed of 14173 miles an hour. 1t
again shows that the motor car has
no serious rival as a speed agent.
The new mark is just ten miles an
hour better than Barney Oldfield's

AFFAIRS AT ANDREWS.
The State Fair,-A Birthday Party
personal Mention.

Andrews, November 6:-Quite a
number from our community visited
the State Fair last week, among
whom were: Messrs j L McCants and
two sons, J P Elliott, H E Wilson
and two daughters and w S Camlin.
Everyone seems to have had a fine
time on the trip. In our opinion this
is one of the best fairs ever held IN
our State. The stock exhibits were
exceptionally fine, especially hogs
and cattle. The livestock sold at
fancy prices under the hammer; we
saw hogs of medium size bring $50
to $40 a head. The machinery ex-
hibits were unusually fine, there be-
ing a great display of farm imple-
ments and labor-saving devices. Only
one thing needed, Brother Farmer
get the stumps out of your fields
and try to raise a little cash to
equip your farms with the up-to-
date machinery. The improvements
along this line within the past two
years are little short of marvellous.
Just a word as to Columbia's TAX
ing advantage of those who visit the
city. While attending the Fair |
saw men have to pay as much as S4
for very common bedroom and
$3.50 for meal, and very poor fare
at that. Such spirit of greed and
graft in our Capital City is what
helps to keep down the growth and
retards the progress of the entire
State. If the Fair association would
take the matter in hand and provide
comfortable lodging rooms, or tents,
even, at the grounds, the visitors to
the Fair could cut Columbia out of
the programme, which would be
good thing for the visitors to be
able to do.
We are glad to report Mr. Sam
Wilson improving from his recent
illness.
A good lot Of improved stock ex-
hibited at the Fair has been dis
tributed over this community. We
are glad to see farmers around here
preparing for raising improved
live stock and poultry.
Little Miss Gussie Camlin gave a
party one day last week, celebrating
her twelfth birthday, to which quite
number of her young friends were
invited. Dainty refreshments were
served, consisting of cocoa and
cake, and the time passed very
agreeably from four to six o'clock
o. m. Many handsome and valuable
gifts attested the esteem in which
the hostess is held by her youthful
friends and associates.
