Spring Wheels for Automobiles

Billings, Oct. As. F. Walker of
Bozeman is the inventor of a spring
wheel for automobiles, which has
been given a tryout here, and the
method is pronounced feasible by To-
cal experts. The springs are intend
ed to take the place of rubber to a
considerable extent, and possibly OBJ
viate it's use altogether.
The wheels with which the expert
ment was made contains 80 wide
spring spokes, for which the springs
from monographs were utilized, and
the inventor belives that with more
suitable material he will be better
able to demonstrate the value of his
invention. Sufficient shares have been
sold to put the wheel on the market
and it is the intention to build a fac.
tory for their manufacture.

IMPROVEMENT Is SLIGHT
October Report of Commissioner of
Agriculture Says Conditions Are
Far Below the Average.

Lexington, Ky.-Slight improve
ment in agricultural conditions in
Kentucky is noted in the October re-
port of Commissioner of Agriculture
J. w. Newman, but he reports condi-
tions still far below the average, fall
pasture short and the drought cutting
down the acreage of wheat planted.
He admonishes farmers to take a
lesson from the season, build silos and
plant winter cover crops.
The report in part follows:
1.-THE condition of crops as of Octo-
Der 1 has improved somewhat during
the month. The condition of corn is
given as 7O.7 per cent. Much of this
corn is now going into shock, and the
report of November l will show a
final estimate of the crop.
"Since so much of the tobacco has
been housed, the efforts this month
were to find out the condition of the
crop as far as housing was concerned.
Seventy-one per cent of the dark to-
bacco is already in the house and is
curing fairly well as indicated by a
condition of S3 per cent. Seventy-two
per cent of the hurley tobacco is in
warehouse and the condition is indi-
Gated as 80 per cent The general i'm
preston gathered from crop CORE.
spondents is that the crop of tobacco
will not be either large one-65 per
cent of crop-nor will it be one OF
extra quality. The crop of wheat
has not been put in the ground as
early as usual, only So per cent hav
ing been sown October 1. Indications
are not for a large acreage of wheat
for next year. Dry weather has in
terfered very materially with the SOW
ing. The greater per cent of the rye
crop has been sown, as is to be ex
pected, but most of this will be pillow
ed under in the spring after having
been used for cover crop. The con
dition of the garden is still poor, ant
no improved conditions can be ex
| pected this year over the condition a!
shown, which is 48 per cent

Shelbyville, Ky.-During division
of the personal property of John w.

tween whom divorce proceedings are
pending, a dispute arose over the
ownership of the family Bible, both
parties claiming it. Grover Hall, 20
years old, espoused his mothers claim
to the book, it is said, with such ardor
that he entirely lost sight of that por-
ton of the fifth commandment which
enjoins child to honor his father, as
we'll as his mother, and knocked his
father down, the blow producing a
black eye, which Mr.. Hall will carry
for days. The father promptly swore
out a warrant for his son, who was
