Urging prompt action on the Labor Day motorcycle race meet, Vice President Ernest Fogle, the live wire official of the club has named Err nest Douglas, a well known news paper man, as the fourth member of the competition committee, with instructions to fly at it pronto.
 In the meanwhile, the rest of the committee has been shaping up a program of races, such as will en- gage the attention not only of the public, but of all motorcycle racers and fans. The card will be some what similar to the program adopted by the club for the state fair track races, and will feature a match race among those famous Phoenix riders, OConnell, Wilson, Boido and Sellner. Harry Lane and F. c. Baker will probably not be back in time to en- ter.
 Sellner, the Merkelite. vows that he will win something or break his con- tract. He acquired no small fame when he outstripped many more flashy riders and won second back of Don Johns in the tearing 1O0- miller here in April.

 This is as Phoenix wanted it. Miami has never visited the Salt River valley with a flock of tossers, and now that they come with such q complete equipment of stars, Phoe- nlX wants to see 'em. So Phoenix Is to have a sight of the mountain wonders after all. The game will be called at 800.

FARMERS AnE NOW b|G AUTO
 USERS--TRENT
Manager of Overland Auto Company Says Success of Medium Priced Car Depends Much on Rural Prosperity

Early prophecies of a record auto farmers during the next twelve months are confirmed by government crop reports. In that section of the country the volume of motor car sales depends almost entirely upon agriculture
 overland distributors throughout the west are enthusiastic over the harvest is over," says Tom Trent, manager of the Overland Auto Co, of this citv
 Never before have conditions been so uniformly favorable for the farm CT from coast to coast and lakes to gulf There is a bumper crop in wheat Corn is well above the ten year average, hay is abundant, pas lures are green, cattle is bringing a good price and there is an air of Fl osperity throughout the rural dis tricts which rises superior to legisla- ton and business pessimism.
 This condition means many more
 
 time has passed when every farm horse is scared at the sight of a motor car-even in the thinly populated districts. Automobiles have become a rural necessity They are con :. sidered indispensable by the more prosperous class of farmers. With Q motor ear the farmer who lives ten f ly as independent as the man whose house is just outside the city limits
 President Willys of the Overland company, states that:
 Tn four years Kansas alone lost 10000 horses. During the same pe- riod the state gained 10000 automo- piles. Of these, almost three -fourths are owned by the farm population Many of the big farms in western Kansas do not use more than half a dozen horses today, instead of the forty or fifty they wee forced to keep few years ago. Automobiles, motor trucks and gasoline tractors have taken their place.
 The American farmer not only has come to realize that he can enjoy but he demands the better things of life just as much as the man of big crops. He is up at daybreak and works till dusk, but in the evening you will often find him taking an automobile spin through the coun- try before bed time.
 "Afte.' the harvest is over, a num- Der of farmers and their families congregate in Hutchinson, in the heart of the Kansas wheat belt, where they start a two or three weeks automobile tour into the mountains of Colorado. It is simply q 'go-as, ,you-please' affair with no one seeking to reach the destination ahead of the others. It is more after the fashion of a motor caravan. If one ca. gets into difficulties, the oth- CTS stop to lend a helping hand. Last year about sixty cars made the trip and this year many more are expected.
 Good roads have helped the farm CT greatly from a mere financial standpoint. but already they have more than paid for themselves in the real pleasure and recreation they en- able him to get from his automobile"

THREE BREEDS OF CHICKENS
Heavy Layers Are Not Confined to
Any One Class Is Shown by
Australian Competitions.

By PROF. DRYDEN. Oregon Agricul-
tural College)
That the heavy layers are not con.
fined to any one breed has been shown
by laying competitions in Australia,
which have extended over a period OF
six years.
In three of the six years. the white
leghorns laid the most; in two other
years the silver wyandottes won, and
in one year the black langshans stood
first.
These breeds represent the three
different classes of fowls, namely ege
breeds, general purpose breeds and
meat breeds. In 1906-l9O7 contest
the pen of black langshans laid an
average of 247 eggs per fowl, the
white leghorns 239, and the silver
wyandottes 199 eggs per fowl.

THE FARMERS KITCHEN.
Farm Architect Says IL
Is The Most Important Room
In The Farm House.

Washington, ID. G.. Jan. 27.-The
Importance to the farmer OF having
an economical farm house has been
emphasized by the farm architect of
the Department OF Agriculture, who
states that the mental and physical
fitness of the laborers both within
the house and in the fields are vitality
affected by the building that affords
the family shelter. The average Am
erican farm home has failed to share
in the improvements that are every
day being made in agricultural con-
ditions and according to the archi-
tect, is a rebuke to our boasted civili-
Zation. Relatively, he says, the house
wife of a century ago with her fire.
place cooking and log cabin was
better provided for than is the house
wife today.
The most important building on
farm is the home. The health, COM
fort and happiness of the family are
dependent upon it's construction and
equipment, and unless these matters
are looked after the sanitary dairy
barn or the economically constructed
buildings for stock are of little value.
Happiness and contentment in the
family are as essential to efficient
service as improved tools and out
buildings.
Although the housewife spends, in
many cases, a lifetime in her work
shop" the kitchen and the family
rooms, she is not, as a rule, capable
of planning a house in the highest
degree serviceable and comfortable
without assistance. Her help, however
is essential to the farm architect, as
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1914-01-28

the result of his plans most vitality
concerns her.
One of the most important details
regarding the average American
farm house is that it must be mex
pensive. The average annual net
income of a farmer today, after de-
Quoting five per cent. interest on his
investment, is less than $500. This
does not mean that the houses may
not be attractive. They may, If in
diligently planned with the help of
vines, shrubs and trees, become the
prettiest spots in the landscape, and
more beautiful and inexpensive than
the crowded city houses.
The tenant-house problem is grow
ing in Importance as can be seen
fEom the fact that the number of
rented farms increased by more than
$4,000 during the last decade. To-
day little more than half the farms
in this country are operated by the
owners.
To Economic Housewives Strength.
The possible economy in household
labor and the conservation of the
strength of the housewife are two
important factors to be considered
in the construction Of "a farm house.
Pleasant and comfortable farm
homes tend to hold families together,
but the cherries, unlovable and in
sanitary houses drive boys and girls
to the cities. Investigation of pri-
sons, insane asylums and houses of
correction, seem to prove the fact
that the sins which account for the
existence of these institutions are
often bred in inadequate and unhap-
by farm homes. So this social aspect
of the problem is considerable.
The public is awakening to the
fact that better farm houses are
