How Auto Has improved.

The first few years of the modern
automobile were disconcerting In
many respects, due to- the influence
OF the rigs that were pulled by horses,
and to the fact that the patrons OF
the industry. while they knew nothing
whatever about the building OF auto
mobiles, felt quite satisfied that II
they could not have a horse In front
they should have something else,
says Automobile. These same pa
irons, not being satisfied that the
something" would be provided by
the makers Of influence, were much
inclined to furnish the necessary Inn
petus, and II Is feared that some OF
them really succeeded in getting what
they thought they wanted. The echo
OF II all sounds too discordant to lend
the impression that these patrons
were content.
I'm the course OF time the builders
Of automobiles were able to convince
growing clientele that II was not
necessary for a buyer to advise the
makers In the customary mechanical
ways, and the principles which under
lie business In general taught these
makers how to maintain the integrity
OF their investment, and to disregard
suggestions, however good they might
prove to be In the long run, insofar
as they might upset the plans In pro
cess and become inharmonious.
1T Is a little difficult to get The
American user into the state Of mind
which will permit him to clearly APP
preciate the fact that an idea, how
ever good 1t serves In France, for IL
lustration, might be valueless in Am
erica, and that a. scheme which at
tracts the notice of the German may
be obnoxious for a hundred reasons
when It is transplanted, and that the
heavy construction OF the English car,
although It is intended to portray sta
bility, has nothing much to recon.
mend It when the weight must be car
ried on pneumatic tires over the ups
and downs of American roads.
The American designers, while
they have had many opportunities to
copy the expressions of the automo-
bile art as they come from other
lands. have been compelled to take
cognizance Of experience, and one OF
the misfortunes OF tho time Is en-
tlTtly uuc W INC nhEIOWeQ uolQ OF
vision Of the used as compared with
the many opportunities to see from
the vantage point OF the designer. The
American idea is winning out: where
h had ten friends yesterday Il has a
thousand today, and when the tomor.
Vow Of the automobile industry comes.
Its enemies, II II has any, will reside
Ia chateaux in foreign lands, and their
unity will be bitter in proportion as
kieir experience Is broad.

Genesis Of the Playhouse.

Thespis In 536 B. G. acted his plays
in a wagon. In 400 B. c., during the
time of Aeschylus, creator of drama,
the performances took place upon tenn
porary wooden scaffolds, one of which,
having collapsed during a representa-
ton, the Athenians were induced to
build the great theater of Dionysius.
calling it the LenalOn. which was the
first permanent stone structure Of its
kind. 1t required 100 years to erect it.
There was no scenery. but he scene
was decorated so as to represent the
locality in which the action was going
on. Roofess was his structure. but
around the building were porticoes, to
which the people retreated during rain
storms. Sometimes awnings were used
to ward off the suns heat. Invari-
ably the actors were males, who wore
masks with mouthpieces, answering
the purpose Of speaking trumpets.
Owing to the vastness of the theater
metal vases were placed under the
seats to serve as reflectors of sound.
Performances began in the morning
and usually lasted twelve hours.-New

HANDED and Buried and Lived.

It is not given to many men to be
hanged and buried and yet be able to
tell the tale. but such was the expert
ence of one John Bartendale, who was
executed at York in 1884 for felony.
After his body had hung for nearly
an hour it was buried. A gentleman
passing by the grave, which had not
been filed up, thought he saw the
earth move, and with the help of his
servant he disinterred the convict, who
was still alive. 1t was the custom in
those days to bury suicides and exc
cuted criminals without any coffin.
The man was carefully treated and
entirely recovered. He became hos
tier at the coaching house in York and
lived most exemplary life. When
asked what he could tell in relation to
hanging. as having experienced it. he
replied. "When l was turned off
flashes of fire seemed to dart from my
eyes, from which | fell into a state of
darkness and insensibility."

DO SUGAR BETS EXHAUST THE
SOIL?

Since the above question is of
of vital Importance to every beet
grower we feel that 1t is worth
while to make every effort to shed
upon it as much light as possible
says Sugar Beets and Beet Sugar.
The American farmer upon whose
willingness and readiness to grow
beets rests in the last analysis the
great beet sugar industry to be
created in this country. has a right
to know everything concerning this
paramount question. Let us, then,
find the truth by a careful analysis.
In saying that a crop exhausts the
soil we have in mind. first of all,
the amount of plant food removed
by 1t. Does a beet crop remove
more plant food than other crops?
The answer to this question we
find in the following table;
The Lamar register., 1911-04-26
Amount of Fertility Removed From

Thus it is readily seen that the
beet takes from the soil the least
amount of nitrogen, which is the
most important and the most ex
pensive element; that this also
holds true for phosphoric acid
with the exception of wheat and
oats taking from the soil practical
ly the same amount of phosphorus
as does the beet. 1t is only the
potash of which beet crop re-
moves more than some other crops.
hut it requires less potash than
tobacco and clover hay. The fact
that the sugar beet removes less
fertility from the soil than good
many other crops together with
the prudent methods of cultivation
used in beet growing account for
the phenomenon that the beet used
as a rotating crop increases the
yield of most other crops; 1t raises.
for instance. the yield of rye, bar
ley and wheat 10. rs and "a per
cent in the order named.

Building Up . Better Herd

We have seen that it is possible
to double the butter production of

can the production be increased b!
at least another so per cent by the
use of sires whose mothers are o

A Good Roads" Day

Down at Lamar the other day
every man in the county either do
mated a days services or the equiv
alent in money toward improving
the roads in Prowers county. All
of the farmers dropped their plow-
ing and planting for that day and
spent the time grading roads, and
every male resident of the towns
of that county either took his
shovel in hand or employed some
one to represent him in the work.
According to reports from the Ar
kansas Valley town. the experiment
was an unqualified success. II is
said that the roads were put in
better condition than they have
Teen for many years and that
everyone entered into the scheme
with will. The loss OF only
day m the farm meant little to
ranchmen and farmers. and city
residents realized that their SER
vices or the little money 1t cost
them to employ representative
would be returned during the
spring and summer many fold in
stimulating intercourse between the
towns and rural districts.
The plan conceived at Lamar and
carried out so successfully immed-
lately attracted the attention of
the whole state and now 1t is pro-
posed TO have good roads" days
In several other counties. Indeed.
the plan has met with 80 much
favor that member of the gen
eral assembly has introduced a bill
providing for good roads" days in
every county of the state with
view to making a days work on
the public highways compulsory
among the male population over
twenty-one years of age. II pro
vides that a man may work out his
share as a sort of poll tax. or
may employ someone to do the
work for him. {.
The intent of the bill is o. X. If
IL peSohcS law II "hi &c iOuhh
that roads in every nook and cor
ner of the state will be much bet
ter. and one of the states chief as
sets should be its public highways.
The proposed law would not work
a hardship on anyone. Besides.
there would be more systematic
road improvement than is now
possible. Though the proposition
looks small when figured on a bas-
is of the effort of each individual.
yet in the aggregate 1t amounts to
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
