ECONOMY OF STEEL WHEELS

steer wheels to its complete satisfac,

the experts of that institution said:
Low, wide-tired steel wheels will
give any farmer better equipment for

the ROAD IL Is estimated that broad
urea steel wheels pull from 30 to
100 per cent. lighter than the narrow

answers and the artist who draws
the proverbs is wise to only very
few of them. Everybody has an
equal chance, and employees of The
Star in no way have a show to win
any of the prizes. There is $4,000 up
for distribution among the lucky
ones, and there is much in an edu-
cational way and in the way of good
solid enjoyment for those who give
the "Proverb Contest their atten-

you may win, but in which you can

I failed to win a prize it would not
be because hadn't put my best foot
forward. There is only one way to
succeed in this world and that is to
do your best at all times. The "once
over" or the ''hasty glance" may
sound witty and sporty. but it is the
student who goes on with the march
ing army who generally reaches the
top. This is simply a little warning
to those who are anxious to win
prize in the Evening Star Proverb
Contest" They must work hard over
the proverbs for at least one hour a
day and they must be careful in their
work in every way. This is all the
help I can give the many readers who
have written to me for information.
For the benefit of those who are
quick to jump at conclusions, it might
be well to state that all the proverbs
are not as easy and as simple as they
seem. So therefore it behooves you
to give the solution of them ample
consideration. To illustrate this warn
ing let us take the following proverb:
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-11-26

Here we have a couple of lads at
the top of hill, flowers growing at
the bottom and snakes crawling
through the grass and flowers. One
fellow proposes to jump off the hill.
The other one wants to see how the
ground lies before he risks such a
jump. Now let's see if there's any
cue in what they say. One says,
Lets jump down." The other says,
wait, let's see what's down there
first" Jump" wait" and see"
seem to be the active words upon
which to begin to DOPE What are
the synonyms Of these three words,
or what other words mean the same.
Jump and leap mean the same. Look
and see mean the same. And, as one
says, wait" it suggests caution, and
therefore means that we shouldn't
do things in hurry. What proverb
has look" and leap" in it that sug-
gests caution" as we'll? We turn to
The Evening Stars Book of Proverbs
and there we find Look before you
leap" Simple, isn't it? But wait
What is the meaning of the flowers
and the serpents? Are they put in
the picture to mislead you? Let US
see. Ninety-nine out of every hun
dred persons know the proverb as
Quoted above, but, in reality, that is
only the half of it, and right there
is where The Stars Book, of Proverbs
is indispensable. In order to be adj
judged correct you are required to
quote the proverb exactly-not only
to get the mere sense of 1t. Hence
you look in the Book of Proverbs
