Friends Travel
To Big Meeting
In Automobiles

Modernism, creator of mighty works,
but destroyer of things old-fa ashioned
and temporal at the behest of Father
Time has moved its obliterating wand,
and the method of travelling to the
big Yearly Meeting has changed.
While former generations travels j
miles on foot, horseback and in wag-
ons and carriages, today motor cars
are used.
Gasoline, giving impulse to the mo-
tors of modern vehicles, has replaced
the slower methods of transportation,
and with it's arrival has come a num-
ber of other places of interest to visit.
Where fifty years ago ten thousand
people gathered on this day. there
We're less than four thousand here yes
terday.
However, automobiles helped swell
the crowd which yesterday was larger
than it has been for many years past.
Few carriages were observable, while
the streets near the meeting house
were packed in every direction.
The two-horse wagon, the favorite
method of bringing the family and
some of the neighbors to Yearly Meet
ing in the old days, saw its successor
in an auto truck which was driven
from Farmland, bringing a load of
friends to the meeting. The motor
age found expression from the plat
form in the morning. when it was
stated that Arthur Chilson. the Afri-
can missionary. was considering TAX
ing back a truck to use in his mission
work.
The changes that time has wrought
were shown in the program of the day.
Instead of the old-fashioned exhorter
who used to occupy the pulpits on
this day. the meeting in the after
noon was given over to returned mis-
sionaries. who told the congregation
of the work that has been done for the
enlightenment of the heather.

To EXTRAD|TE THAW
Gov. Felker Expected to Act
Within Few Days.

CONCORD. Sept 2s.-"Governor
Felker will extradite Thaw," declared
a member of the governors counsel to-
day. This must not be taken as COM
ing officially from Governor Felker
but only my personal opinion based on
an intimate knowledge of the probabil-
ity. believe this opinion will be borne
out by Developments within the next
few days"
The informant expressed the gener-
al belief voiced about the granite state
capitol today. The effect of Governor
Felker's granting extradition would be
to throw the case into the Federal
courts, transferring the scene from
this city to Boston.

FOODSTUFFS COST.
TAKES NO ADVANCES
Dealers Here Disagree With
State Food and Drug
Commissioner.

No indications of the decided jump
in the price of foodstuffs, predicted by
Harry E. Barnard. state food and drug
commissioner. have been noted by To-
cal grocerymeson They say they are
buying canned. = IDS at the same pri-
ces now as for the last few years, and
see no reassh why they should not con-
tfnue ta do so. In their advance buy
ing from wholesalers goods have been
quoted and ordered at the same rates
as in 1912.
In statement Mr. Barnard said:
There isn't thing in the list of
foodstuffs that will be influenced by
the trader The country's production is
simply far inadequate to feed the
American people. The highest prices
for food that the United States has
ever known will prevail this winter"
Four exceptions to the rule were
noted by Mr.. Barnard as wheat pro-
ducts, rice, sugar and canned salmon.
All canned goods such as peas, corn,
and tomatoes, he prophesied, would in
crease in price because of shortage of
crops. Local merchants. however, say
canned goods win remain the same as
last year.
Meats are going higher. Wholesale
prices on dressed meat advanced a
cent a pound last week and are expect
ed to keep going up. Local meat men
say the prices will soar to record
heights this winter with no relief in
sight.
The president of the Elgin butter
board is responsible for the statement
that the lack of summer pasturage in
many sections will make butter high
err Eggs are now 25 cents a dozen
Dealers say cold storage eggs will be
as high as five cents each by Christ
mas.
Other meats and produce will in
crease in price in the same ratio,
butchers declare.

'RIGGERT TO JOIN
FEDERAL LEACUERS

Pittsburgh, Pa. Dec. 29.--Joe Rig
CERT, drafted from the st. Paul Am
erican association team this fall by
the Brooklyn National league club,
VIII not play with the latter organiza-
ton, according to a letter written by
him to a friend in his city.
In the communication Riggert states
that he has accepted terms with the
Pittsburgh Federal league team and
expected to sign a. contract with the
local team in a few days.
Much in Demand.
Riggert was rated as one of the best
players in the American association
last year. Several clubs put in a draft
for him, but the Brooklyn team drew
the lucky number. Riggert will get
considerably, more money with the
local team than Brooklyn Is willing to
give him.
Riggert's record in the American
association Is a good one. Playing
with st. Paul last season he played in
1853 games, had ALL put outs, % as
sists, 16 errors and fielded 1866. His
strong forte is said to be consistent
hitting.
FederaIs Met His Figures.
In his letter Riggert states that he
will play ball where his services are
valued at the highest figure. and as
the local federal management met his
salary figure he expects to play in

GIVEN CONCESSIONS

New York, Dec. 2~9.-Fourteen Of the
seventeen demands framed by Pres.
David Fultz of the Baseball Players
fraternity will be granted by the Ma
tional commission after the hearing at
Cincinnati on Jan. s. Eight of these
demands were conceded by the Ameri-
can league some time ago in the play
ers' contracts.
Among the demands to be granted
he most important are the following:
Transfer of e, player to be governed
by all the terms Of his contract. Terms
of the transfer to be in writing and
given to the player involved.
A player to have a copy of his signed
contract. Two sets of uniforms to be

Written notices of fines and suspen-
sions and the causes thereof.
After ten years of service in a major
league a player shall receive uncondi-
tional release.
Waivers on a players services to go

SELLING AUTOS A.
GROWING BUSINESS

Half an hour before the close of
each working halliday in The Stude-
baker Corporations Detroit headouar-
tiers, two clerks emerge from one of
the big vaults, wheeling laboriously
a hand-truck, loaded with a large fl
Ing system. One clerk pulls; the 9TH
er pushes. Their route brings the
truck to the sales department. There
the filing system Is ~replenished by a
considerable quantity of special mail.
The clerks roll the truck back again
into the vault.
Now n then an observing visitor
Is casually interested and asks what
correspondence the massive file con-
tains. He is always amazed to hear
that the entire truckload consists of
nothing but live. current applications
for agency rights, kept on file and I'D
to date for reference in possible emer-
gencies. ..~~
If the casual visitor is a student of
business conditions he usually com
ments on his newly acquired informa-
tion as one or he many encouraging
signs of the times. oo
That the size Of the file correctlv
gauges present conditions is confirmed
by Vice President e. r. Benson of The
~Studebaker Corporation.
"A great many wise business men
have been waiting for an era of stable
conditions before entering the auto
mobile business" Mr.. Benson saws.
These men are now beginning to
take active steps toward IDENTIFYING
themselves with one of the standard.
popular-priced lines. We have in
oluded some OF them in our list OF
dealers and distributors which we
made up last summer. Occasionally,
even now, we can find room for n Of
them by giving him a slice Of terri
tory formerly handled from some 9th
er trading center. These occasions
are few, though, for our present deal
ers are always able to sell more cars
than we can build.
"To a small extent the present in
crease in dealer applications NAV be
due to h fact that dealers are shift
ing toward the large established man
ufactures. In a general way, howev-
er, I think that the condition is normal
and merely a healthy symptom of the
trade"

(By r. A.Henderson, manager ad-
justing department, The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, o.
The Importance of keeping a pneu-
matte automobile tire inflated to the
proper pressure, and avoiding the evil
Of underinflation, is something that
can never be overemphasized. IL less
than the proper pressure be carried
the weight Of the car will not be prop
erIy sustained and as a consequence
there will be more or less fattening
out where the tire touches the ground.
This not only subjects the casing to a
destructive bending action when In
motion. but renders 1t susceptible to
injury from bruises and bumps which
a fully inflated tire would safely re-
sist. ".
The same condition occurs when a
car with it's extras Is not equipped
with tires large enough to properly
support the load and although 1t be
properly inflated, the weight fattens
1t out where it rests on the ground
Just as in the case of a tire large
enough but not inflated to the proper
pressure. The extra strain thus i'm
posed not only breaks down the side
walls but increases susceptibility to
all the various forms of trouble.
In the design of a bridge where the
factor Of public safety Is actively inn
portant, there must be no possibility
of !, breakdown. The strains and
their combinations are carefully cal
culated from both theoretical and em-
pirical data. When. in this way, it is
determined that a bar, a quarter inch
thick would be just equal to the strain,
a bar an inch and a half thick-~six
thickness actually necessary--is
adopted. The extra inch and a quar-
ter is a margin of safety which in
sures the structure against n un-
foreseen and unusual strain to which
It ma be subject. The lack of this
margin of safety would be inimical to
public welfare,
BY the same token. the tire which
gives good service. other things being
equal, lis the one which not only pro-
vides the necessary strength to re-
sist the average strains but which also
provides sufficient margin of safety al

Proper attention to imitation will
usually insure good service. For the

When Carpenter, the new. boxing
champion Of Europe, knocked out
Bombardier Wells. champion of Eng
London, British boxing fans felt that
the knell OF the sport in England had
been sounded. Americans had beaten
their champions, but they have come
to regard that as natural. The fact
that a Frenchman had beaten one OF
their best men, when the French peo-
pie had taken up boxing less than FIVE
years ago, hurt them far more thar
any, defeat by an American.
Wells lasted less than one. round
before the Frenchman. In fact, he
didn't get started. Although he is per-
hapsfthes cleverest big man In the ring,
Carpenter tore at him from the sound
of the gong and did not let him set.

fore heshad warmed up.

Oversize Tires
We're a Necessity

ticular but who Is still unrewarded
with the good service usually return
cd by this precaution, the solution
lies in h use Of the oversize tire
the largest tire that fits each rim.
For every standard size Of rim, there
are w sizes Of tire which fit. For
example, a "a x 4 rim carries a 81 X 4
tire. Should the "a x 4 tire, after the
car has been equipped with it's ex-
tras, prove inadequate for the support
of the load, the 35 x 4 IL tire which
also fits the 81 x 4 rim and Is the reg
ular oversize for the 81 X 4, is the
proper size to insure satisfactory serv-
ice. Also the 33 x 4 is the regular
oversize for the 81 x 3 1-2.
Usually, it is by experience that the
motorist discovers he has equipped
his car with tires that are too small.
He then desires to change to the reg
ular oversize tire for his rims. For
making this change, the manufacturer
has provided every convenience. Not
only doe the oversize Ats the rim as
perfectly as the regular size, but 1T al
80 takes he same tube. Tubes, like
rims, are now interchangeable. Con-
sequently the change owe to the over
size will not require ans changes or
additions as to the tube equipment.

80 and 40 per cent more air capacity
than the regular size. This extra ca
.pacity makes possible no only a more
effective air cushion to sustain the
weight imposed. but higher residence
as well. An oversize tire naturally
costs more than one of the regular
size because 1t is larger. It's more eff
fective air cushion, however, as well
as the better distribution of road
wear because OF its extra width, in
sures still greater mileage in p
ton to the initial cost. And decreases
the cos per mile; and cost per mile,
rather than cost per tire, is the uiti-
mate test of economy.
But les most important advantage
remains to be stated. Every motorist,
though he he pleased with good mile

pleased if he q obtain this mileage
without tire trouble, and what is per-
haps still more important, with a
feeling of confidence, ~engendered by
