Nothing Yet Inpented to
Replace Pneumatic Tire

"A pneumatic tire is a part OF the me-
chanical equipment of an automobile" "
says Mr.. Litchfield. factory manager of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio. It is placed upon the car to act
as a cushion between the obstacles on
the road and the mechanism and passen-
gers in the car This is its primary OBJ
ject 1t also is used to provide traction
and to prevent noise and skidding when
the vehicle is propelled at high speeds
over the road.
In designing a pneumatic tire for an
automobile, il should be with an idea of
making II cost the consumer the lowest
possible amount per mile of service con-
sistent with properly performing the
above functions I'm order to accomplish
this" Mr.. Littlefeld says. all parts
should be of equal strength. so that, If
possible, 1t should be like the one-horse
shay-when IL is worn out, all parts
should wear out at once. 1t is only by
study and experience, continually
strengthening the weakest part, that 1t
can be brought TO this position. The
carcass. fabric. friction, breaker strip.
tread rubber, inner tube, type of rim,
character OF roads, speed, and weight to
be carried. all have to be given consid-
ways been designed along these lines.
1t is very easy to strengthen some one
part such as making a longer wearing
tread a better wearing carcass, a more
puncture proof tire, &C. but II Is very
difficult TO do this without weakening
some other feature, or at least nullify-
ing the effect of the Improvement by
some other part not lasting as long as
the part improved. This would. there
fore, be of no advantage, and would
probably increase the cost of the tire as
well as the cost per mile.
glance over the failures in the tire
business should convince every one of
the value Of the balanced tire over the
one-idea tire. Think o' The number of
concerns which have started out with
flying colors TO market a puncture-proof
tire. concerning all OF their designing on
this one idea. only to find out that, al
though they have succeeded in prevens-
ing puncture. they have weakened the
tire in some other part, so that the cost
per mile to the user more than offsets

OAKLAND COMPANY
INCREASES PRODUCTION

George E. Daniels, vice president and
general manager of the Oakland Motor
Car Company. announces that the plans
for next season call for the building OF
II 500 Oakland cars, and that this will
necessitate a number OF factory addi-
tions. These will be started at once
a total of 100000 square feet OF space
will be added.
The carrying out of this programme
means that the well-known Pontiac con-
Germ becomes the worlds seventh pro-
ducer of high-grade automobiles.
Those in the trade have watched with
interest the phenomenal growth of this
company. The season just closed has
been a wonderful one-the Oakland prov
ing very popular in important centers
like New York, Chicago, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Cincinnati. Detroit. Omaha, San
Francisco, Los Angeles. and other points
The Oakland came into its own," said
Vice President Daniels recently. THE
car has a firm foundation for its pop
ularity and stability. II is to-day one
of the standard motor cars. And this
popularity is bound to grow In the fu-
ture. The 1913 line warrants the making
of this statement.
For 1913 we have added a sfx-cylin-
der model and another popular price
four. We are going to have one of the
very rev complete lines In the country
and IT is the ideal combination from a
dealers standpoint, for II adequately ex-
presses the demand Of each probable au-
tomobile purchaser.
THE Greyhound $50, the six-cylinder
car, has a wheel base Of 100 inches, dou-
bic drop frame, electric lighting and ig-
milton system. and a self-startsr. and
enough meritorious innovations to sep
arate 1t from other cars on the market
What is true of this model, Is true of
ell 1913 Oaklands, much attention having
been paid to harmony, beauty Of body
lines and refinement In general. The
line remains distinctive one, each model
having individual features.
''The Oakland six has been on the road
for months, has been driven under ali
road conditions and In strenuous tests
has proved itself entitled to a place
among our fours.''
The Sociable roadster type ohree pas
senger single seaD will be continued for
1913 and there has been added a car of
this type on the model IS chassis. This
should also prove popular model. for
it will retail at $1,000. Close coupled tour
ing car bodies will be built on models
go and ~ chasses selling for s.. 400
and Loo respectively.

K.R.I-T MOTOR CAR COMPANY
ADDING TO IT'S PLANT
New Buildings VIII Give Additional
Floor Space Needed.


Howard H. Crawford. general manager
OF the K-R-I-T Motor Car Company. an
nounces that a fine new building is be-
ing added to the K-R-I-T plant. and that
soon a second will be under way. These
new structures will greatly increase the
floor space needed because Of the ex-
pansion of the K-R-I-T company and the
largely increased output. Several thou
sand more cars will be manufactured be-
tween now and next spring than during
the corresponding period OF last year.
The K-R-I-T Motor Car Company
says Mr.. Crawford, has grown 30 rap
idly that months ago II was observed
our production facilities would soon be
Inadequate. Plans were. therefore, made
for a larger plant and that we were wise
in this course has been proved by the
incoming orders from our dealers and
branches. The K-R-I-T, because lit is a
medium-priced car that combines sturdy
and stanch qualities with ample power
and a distinction Of design, has grown
immensely popular. This popularity, we
are pleased to find, has extended through
out the country, and we are also ship
ping large numbers of cars abroad The
K-R-I-T owners are finding that K-R-I-T
service means something, and we are
p-ofting and expanding In consequence
THE policy of our company is never
to stand pat on any design or output
That is, we know no seasons. Our en-
gineering department is continually
working on improvements and as fast
as demonstrated they are embodied in
our cars. 1t has always been our pur-
pose to give the man who buys
K-R-I-T the best we have at the time
that his particular car was manufactured
and that Is. why We say 1t 10 our policy
to have no seasons"

Mrs. Nettie WEIGH is advertls-
ing in this issue some purely
bred eggs for sale. Mrs. WEIGH
has the finest fowls in Powell
county and she should have no
trouble in disposing of them at
home at the prices she asks for
them. 1t costs no more to raise
good fowls than it does TO raise
poor ones, and it is a great deal
more profitable to raise the pure

hope to see Mrs. Welch's prece-
dent in raising the best in fowls
followed up by every housewife
in the county.

From an exchange we get the
following cold-blooded truths
told by a Missouri editor. Just
why he so forgot his best inter-
ests we are unable to say. How
ever, he must have gone where all
truthful editors 90 Immediately
after these truths escaped his ed
itorial pen. We have not seen a
copy of his paper since. Here
is what he says:
"John Bonin, the LATEST mer-
chant in town, made a trip to
Beeville yesterday.
John Doyle, our groceryman,
is doing O. poor business. His
store is dusty and dirty and no.
toriously odoriforous. How can
he expect to do much? 1t is
needless to say that the local pa
pers never contain his advertise
ment.
"Rev. Stytz preached Sunday
night on charity. The sermon
was punk. If the reverend gen.
tleman would live up a little
closer to what he breaches, he
would have larger congrega,
ton.
"Dave Sonkey died last Sun
day at this place. The doctor
gave it out as heart failure. The
fact is he was drunk. His home
was a rented shack on Rowdy
street. He has gone where no
rOwdies return, and he has album
dant company.
"Married--Miss Sylvia Rhodes
and James Canadian last Satur-
day evening at the Baptist church
The bride is a very
ordinary town girl who does not
know any more than a rabbit "a
bout cooking and never helped
her mother three days in her life.
She is not beauty by any means
and has a gait like a duck. The
groom is well-known, and an up
to-date loafer. He has been liv-
ing off the old folks all his life
and he doesn't amount to shucks.
They will have IA hard life while
they live together, and the News
has no congratulations to offer,
for we don't believe any good
can come from such a union"

the closest constant study. Be-
canse when you think that you
have found satisfactory ans.
wer, they will face you from an
other angle and other solutions
must be sought. Hence he must
acquire studious habits or fail.
Another essential element in
the makeup of a successful or
chardist which the methods prac.
ticed for generations have had a
tendency to eliminate is patient
perseverance. The great effort
is for quick money. A man in
April will have narrowed a litter
of pigs and planted a field of corn
and before Christmas will drive
the corn to market i'm his hogs
and have the money in his pock-
ct, or maybe do worse, haul his
corn to market directly from the
stalk. You ask that man to plant
an orchard aid give it the con-
slant care required, crltivating,
pruning and spraying, for six or
seven years before he begins to
get any returns. Oh, no! that is
too slow for me, the money is too
far away, no matter how large
the promise in future years. Be-
cause of the lack of this qualifi-
cation you will find all over the
state where thousands of trees
have been planted that were eat
en- up by the stock before they
reached fruiting aye. You will
not find one man in hundred
who will plant an orchard and
take proper care of it; they sim.
ply will not do it. They have
not been trained that way and
where habits are once formed it
is difficult to change"

Apple Grow Ing In Kentucky.

A writer in Our Country from
Henderson county, IN which he
is advocating the planting of
more orchards in Kentucky, and
in speaking of the excellent
quality of the Kentucky products
he says:
"And if you speak of the
Winesap, in particular, in Ken
lucky, she can challenge the
world.
''They are in a class by them
selves. In support of this state
ment the writer relates a little
true story.
"A gentleman in jacksonville
KY, sent barrel of Winesaps to
his father in northern Illinois,
who had formerly lived in Ken
lucky. The old gentleman was
totally blind. The wife without
telling him anything about where
they came from passed the plate
asking if he would like some ap-
pies. Taking the plate and
smelling the apples, he exclaim-
ed with surprise, Why, is Char
lie here, and did he bring these,
they are Kentucky Winesaps'. "
In this same article the writer
goes on further and states:
Farmers of Kentucky as a
rule are not students. They do
not make careful study of their
business but they rush ahead try
ing TO see how much territory
they can cover, instead of study.

from the smallest amount of
land.
"This habit must be overcome
before IA man can become a sue
cessful fruit grower.
'The orchardist must be con-
tinually seeking an answer to
four questions which he must
be constantly asking-what, why,
when, how. What to dO-why
