CARE SAVES THE TIRES.
Michelin Man Tells What to Do &
a Stony Stretch NJ Tho Pod

D Stony SCretch OF the Road.
Just at this season Of the year when
country road commissioners are re-
pairing the highways with crushed
stone. motorists find many stretches
that look alarmingly harmful to their
tires. A little care in driving over
places where ruts and hollows have
been filled with crushed stone will
prevent injury to the tires. says the
Michelin man.
The best way to proceed when 1t Is
found impossible to- avoid a short dis
lance Of stony road. is to take 1t at
duc speed, after releasing the
clutch. The distance should be esti.
mated SO that it will not be necessary
to throw in the clutch in the middle Of
the stony part which would necessi-
tate a fresh start while on the stones.
In the case Of a long distance Of
stony road, when 1t would be impossi-
Die to coast" over the entire distance
the best thing to do Is to throw in the
nrst speed going over the stony part
slowly. 1t may be explained that az
the shocks Of the road increase with
the increased speed Of the car. the
cutting of the tires by the sharp stones
will be reduced to q minimum when
proceeding in the manner suggested.

Foreign Rye.

Observation-Disclosures the Paris
market high prices are easily main.
tanned in view Of the smallness OF
stocks left Of last years CROP. Millers
take up but little, it is true. but they
sometimes find it difficult to obtain the
small lots they need. especially as i'm.
ports this year are practically out OF
question. foreign quotations being even
higher than those of Paris. Prospects
in regard to the new crop are good so
far, and it is hoped hat this will
eventually cause prices to lower to a
more normal level. Transactions dur
ing the week under review were prac-
tically nil and no change in values re-
corded. On the Berlin rye market late
positions were somewhat neglected in
view of the satisfactory crop reports
which were confirmed by recent
official crop report. According to the
latter the condition Of rye at the COM
mencement of April is 20, against 2.S
G. meaning good, 3 middling.) The
comparatively large stocks Of rye in
Berlin and the low price of rye -four
also check activity In that cereal.
Provincial offers, however. are scarce
and millers are not disposing of i'm
portant stocks, which finds expression
in an increased Saxontan demand. AT
Odessa business has been very quiet
without much change in prices. Adj
vices on crop conditions in South Rus
STA are generally satisfactory. At
Budapest rye continues to be but mod
erately offered. while consumptive de-
mand also is limited. Prices. never
theless, moved upward in sympathy
with the terminal market. The turn
over was moderate.
The quantity on passage to the
continent amounts to 10000 qrs.,
against $4,000 qrs.. the week previous,
100000 qrs. last year. and $4,000 qrs.
in 1910. OF the present total $4,000
qrs. are for Holland. $4,000 qrs. for
Germany and Scandinavia. and 5000
qrs. other countries.

WANT AUTO PATH
Enterprising Citizens of Devils LAX
and Edmore Get Together.

Devils Lake. N. D., April 2s.-An
automobile path between Edmore, N.
D.. and Devils Lake is much to be
desired and would make travel easier
to the county seat for people On the
Sarles branch is the opinion of H. J.
Nyhus, the Edmore banker. and A. E.
Toomey, the hardware merchant of
the same place. who were in Devils
Lake comforting with the people OF
this city on the matter.
The perfect road idea which the
Edmore citizens have in mind could
be constructed and no great outlay of
money would be needed and the peo-
pie at the Edmore end are willing to
stand their apportioned share of the
expense. providing they car secure
the cooperation of Devils Lake to
help them in the project.
The gentlemen found that their
proposition met with favor and that
the plan Of road building as suggest
ed. making a direct auto path to Ed
more will be carried out.

CONDITIONS Of
RYE AND HAY
Rye is Scarce and Receipts
are Small-Hay Strong
and in Demand.

The local rye market was firm with
but little doing through the last six
days. though the demand was above
the supply offered in the market.
Sales we're based on the price Of No.
. which varied from soc to Gle by
sample. Receipts for the six days
were Is carr against 22 cars in the
corresponding time a year ago. Lo-
cal mills used the bulk of the arriv-
are many substitutes to be made use
Of in case Of rye shortage.
The rye crop of the United States
is compared with other cereals. Of
small importance. For that reason
1t Is little in sympathy with fuctua-
tons in the other grains. either OF
which may change values radically
with little influence upon the cost OF
rye, a crop with an area of 100000
acres. Outside of Europe he rye
crop of the world has little signifi-
year rye has ruled mostly about zoe
under the cost Of wheat. The north
west crop of winter rye is reported
to be looking we'll.
AS compared with wheat in Europe
rye comprises about So per cent and
wheat about 81 per cent Of the two
combined, while the two comprise
some 20 per cent Of the world pro-
duction of these grains. Europe
raises some "a per cent Of the world
rye while it produces some Sc per
Austria. Germany, Belgium and the
Netherlands. rye is a more import
ant bread crop than wheat. The pro-
portion of wheat and rye in European
! Russia is usually some 60 per cent
rye 10 40 per cent wheat.

Firm Hay

The movement of hay for the last
6 days was very light and prices were
we'll taken in hand by the short sup
ply offered here. The tendency was
to advance. as the stock through the
interior is much sought by competing
markets. Local dealers had many I'M
filled orders booked for about all Va
rieties at the top prices.
Timothy was reported sold at $22.
There are small stocks to meet the
large demand. Arrivals of prairie
were also small and the demand large.
Demand was also active for midland
with the fresh receipts quickly dis
posed Of. A further advance was
made in the week in the east. south

been less in New York than before in
