Motorovcle in t1aaIth Einht.

Nation wide has been the interest in the results of the unusual method em- ployed in Wisconsin this summer of conducting a campaign against tuber- culosis. A motorcycle has been one of the leading features of this cam paign, and it has proven such a faith full assistant to the ministers of the gospel of good health, that many other communities will doubtless follow the example Of the Badger state in carry ing on their fight against the white plague.
 Early in their work of educating the people against the dangers of consump- tlon the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis association discovered that the disease was even more prevalent in the rural districts than in the cities, due doubt less to the fact that the farmers did not know how to guard against it. A motorcycle was selected a the best method of reaching these people, and in the spring two lecturers started on an educational tour of the state. Their motorcycle was equipped with com plefe camping outfit. They also car ried 3 stereopticon machine and illus trated their lectures with stereopticon views. The motorcycle has made 1t possible to get in touch with people who could not otherwise be reached, except st prohibitive cost And the message of good health has been fla

Earmer and MotorcYcIe.

T can't begin to count the added pleasures which we have enjoyed since I bought my motorcycle,' said Joseph Angerton, a farmer near Arlington, Ind.
 Tt certainly has taken away the spirit of isolation which existed be- tween us and the town when we had to depend on horses. Before l bought & motorcycle there were times when for several weeks at stretch, 1t was absolutely out of the question to go to town. Now I never give trip to town second thought. I just jump on my two-wheeler and am there and back again in no time"
 MT. Angerton not only finds the mo- torcycle a great time saver. but it has proven of material value to him in disposing of his crops this season. For. with the aid of the motorcycle. he has kept in close touch with the markets and has thus been able to dispose of his crops to greater advan- tage.
 The motorcycle has also proven very economical, as MT. Angerton says he can ride between 50 and 70 miles on a gallon of gasoline.
 But perhaps the greatest pleasure Mr. Angerton has found in the motor cycle is the fact that 1t has made his boys more satisfied with farm life. For it enables them to work on the farm during the day and yet enjoy the so- ciety of their town friends in the eve ming

 When that part of the new tariff law which relates to automobiles and motor parts goes into effect, it is eX- pected, the new schedule will soon register their impression on the inn port figures For one reason or an other the importation of automobiles has been declining steadily, showing for the first seven months of 1913 a loss equal to nearly half of the impor- tafiOns of the like period in 1912.
 Most persons have attributed this falling off not to any sudden loss of interest on the part of certain Ameri- can buyers in foreign cars but to the discussion over the tariff This dis cussion, which has had it's effect on the American automobile business as a whole in the neighbOrhood of the large cities. particularly New York, Chicago and Boston, has had a two fold effect on the foreign cars For one thing the importers have not been so eager to bring in machines, hoping that by waiting little they might have a more favorable profit, which now is the case and for another thing the unsettled state of business has had the result of decreasing the chances of sales among the folks who have been right along the buyers of expensive imported machines
 With the clearing of the air in both ways the importers look forward to a better and brighter season. They cX- pect that after their show carded for the early part of 1914 is over they will G HNIHnr iT1ryc.lc-rr tionately with the promise held out by the gains of the first part of 1912 over the first seven months of 1911,

s2,oco FEE FOR TRAcERY.
American Colt Will Earn $4o,ooo Next
 Year.

The story cabled from England that Tracery, the greatest race horse in that country has run his last race and would be retired to the stud is con firmed by August Belmont, the owner of the horse Tracery will stand at Leopold de RothschiId's South Court stud. Tracery's fee is 400 guineas ($2,000), the greatest fee ever paid for an untried stallion's services.
 Tracery is in great demand by the English breeders. As soon as the an- nouncement was made that he was to be retired to the stud his book was immediately filled Tracery will not be mated with more than 20 outside mares. MT. Belmont has 28 mares in France and England, and he will send some of these to Tracery. In addition he may ship some of his American mares over to South Court. Will you bring Tracery to America or send him to your French stud MT. Belmont ?'' "No," was MT. Belmont's reply. France has Rock Sand. Tracery will remain in England. He made his rep utation as a great race horse in that country, and I think it only fair to let him remain theTe.s
 '"Tracery has developed into a horse of great size, and I thought 1t advisa- ble to do so," said MT. Belmont. He did not carry much flesh as a three year old, but this summer, particularly during August and September. he grew very heavy. He is 16 hands one inch, so you can see he is a very%big horse. He broke down four horses that were used to train with him"
 It will be seen from this that with 20 mares at S2, GOO each mated to Trac- cry his service fee will amount to $40, 900 in his first season in the stud At this rate it will only take Traeery five years to earn $20O, ,O00, the sum AIr Belmont recently refused for him. By retaining Tracery MT Belmont will clear at least $500, GOO in service fees before the horse ends his career, and ln addition will have the use of his services for his own mares.

 The soccer team from Sterling will meet the Taftville boys on the Taft vile gridiron Saturday and 1t is a well known fact that the officials or the Sterling team are getting the strongest team available to wipe out the defeat the TaftviIle boys inflicted on them quite recently. The Taftv1lle officials intend also to have their team in the best of condition and the play CTS have had orders to take care Of themselves and some night this week they are going out for a run. The game Saturday should prove to be the best and fastest game of the season. The Sterling team is much heavier and 8 much better balanced team than the Taftville team, but the Taftville boys have that combination and speed Wh1ch has up to the present time always brought them out with flying colors.

membered that bearings that are tight when the weight of the car is off them, will be still tighter when they carry their load. A safe proceeding is to tighten the bearing until all shake" or lOOSeneSS is eliminated, yet the wheel is free to spin easily several reVolu tions under not too violent persuasion. It is a mistake to adjust bearings too loosely just as it is a mistake to ad just them too tightly.
 The Board of Supervisors of Kent County, Michigan, have limited the amount the Highway Commissioners may spend on roads this year to $100, 000, although the commissioners asked for twice that amount out of the pro- ceeds of q bond issue voted some time ago. The reason for the limitation seems to be a disagreement between the Supervisors and Road Commis slOners as to methods of procedure. It is stated that the Commissioners have built or started to build sections of road in different parts of the coun- ty, while in the opinion of the Super visors the roads should have begun at Grand Rapids the county seat and radiated outward in the different di rection.
 After replacing, a horse delivery or hauling system by a motor vehicle in stalation, some business houses have found that they did not make the say ing, or accomplish results which they counted upon. In a good many in stances the cases of this kind have been investigated by practical trans pOrtatIOn men ali the request of the motor truck owners. and in almost all of them if has developed that the req son for the unsatisfactory service of the motor vehicles, from the stand point of earning capacity. was not in herent in the trucks, but rather in. the methods which surrounded their use Tn other words. the handling of the merchandise oftentimes before il was ever loaded on the truck, had not been speeded uD or changed to conform with those characteristics of endur- ance and rapid motion which should be taken full advantage of in the use of eir1er one motor truck or 2 feet
 The motor truck needs no periods of rest It is simply machine which can be worked at all times to full capacity and the work of truck must be care fully planned with this in mind Big earnings are secured from motor trucks only when they are kept con stanIly at work carrying as near as possible full capacity loads.
 Delays must be eliminated at the loading platform If the ola methods of handling the merchandise have made customary the loading of a ma chine slowly. piece by piece, some method should be devised for loading small packages before the machines ever back up to the shipping plat form. When this is done the motor truck investment is not standing idle and the truck may be worked in way which will produce greatest satisfac- ton and maximum earnings

Pneumatic automobiIa tires

Pneumatic automobile tires are designed to carry loads in propor- ton to their cross sections and diam eters. Nothing will tear ties to pieces so quickly as overlooking. Many motorists who get frequent pune lures and bloWOuts. and who have tire troubles in general, can trace their difficulties to overlooking. Tops, windshieds and many other devices are considered as extras by the man ufacturer, and may increase the cat alog weight materially. It is esti- weight of the car adds 15 per cent to the wear and tear on the tire. For this reason 1t is always economy to adopt tires one or two sizes larger than the regular equipment on your car. Even if the regular size tires age and satisfaction to cover the additional cost will be given by larger tires.
 The tremendous horse power of some high priced machines produces an effect similar to overlooking. The strain is too great for rubber and fabric to endure long uninjured. If chains are used they should have
 proper adjustment Chains applied too tightly will cut the tread out and render the tire useleGs in a short time. The chains should be adjusted
 
 the tread and fine wear will be dis tributed
 If one piece clincher rims are used, it is advisable to examine them at frequent intervals for dents. The clincher rim is easily bent and. being subject to rust, the edges may be- come worn down to a cutting edge, then rim cutting begins and the case is soon cut through, When a clinch- CT tire rim cuts, examine the rim to see if the cause is not to be found there. Castings should be removed from the rims occasionally to allow an examination of both rims and castings. the castings for breaks and indications of breaks in the fabrics. for strains show up sometimes inside first and can be reinforced with a patch and an ultimate blowout be avoided The rims for dents, trregu- larities and rust
 With cHncher tires one of the ooa!ly evils is nregularity of rims. If the rim does not fit the clinch of the tu1 Wuh peIIect contact, the bead is soon destroyed and water is al- lowed to enter the tire with destroy ing influence. If, when the easing is removed, the shoulder of the bead appears yellow or rusty the rim should be thoroughly Secured with emery cloth and given q coat of alum mum paint. A rusty rim soon eats away the canvas. The t1fe shoulu, or course, be thoroughly ,cleansed before it is again applied.
 Tires should not be stored or left off any length of time unused in the direct rays of the sun. or kept i'll very warm quarters. Under such conditions the rubber quickly loses fl elasticity. becomes hard and soon develops innumerable fine cracks. A continued exposure as above will rem der the best tire practically valueless in few months,
 W hen buying a new case or q tube, 1t will be wise to see that the dealer has not had it displayed in the windows. To secure the longest life and greatest amount of service from tire, it should be stored in dry, cool and dark quarters. Never al- low tires to stand in oil at the garage or elsewhere, and be par ticular to wipe off any oil which may
