and is building IL more; France has
20 and is building 20 additional ones;
Russia has rs, and is building IS;
while the United States has 20, and is
building 81; Austria has IS, and has
four under construction, while Italy
owns Is, and is building two. Yet the
submarine is still an unknown guam
tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many OF the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more of the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor in
deciding a naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time it has done nothing to prove it's
value. 1t was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical eff
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other. But 1t has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
| under water, and is compelled to re-
sort to the use of the periscope, which
energies unostentatiously above the
water, in order to see its own course.
It Is known that the periscope is
the eye of the submarine, and natural
" attention has been paid TO the best
way Of destroying this vital part Of
these boats.
Submarine Versus Alrshlps.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon 1t being seen. Ii was
believed that it would go upon it's way,
dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make a
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But it has been discovered that from
certain height an observer may trace
the course of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as If 1t was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like q
fish.

easier to care for sows In these

An old hog house with wood floor was
visited In which the owner said the
rats had gotten over half the pigs.
Several men report that rats may be
kept out by packing sand or cinders to
the top Of the joists before laying the
floor, but these materials are often too
expensive to be used for this pur
pose.
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them

method. It is no more expensive In
the long run, for all the buildings can
be kept in use the year round. In such
cases the larger houses are used for
narrowing quarters, and as soon as
the pigs are a week or two old, or as
soon as the weather permits. the sows
and filters are removed to the indiyid-
ual cots. During the remainder of the
year the large houses are utilized for
sleeping quarters.
The small cot has the advantage OF
keeping each sow from being dis
turbed by the others, and lessons the
danger from contagious and infectious
diseases. The disturbance in a large
house, however. is usually not a seri.
GUS matter, and is often unduly en-
phasized. After the pigs get lit
lie start there is usually more or less
robbing where many are together.
The individual cot lessons this trou-
BILE. When the surroundings become
insanitary, the cot can easily be moved
to a clean place.
Probably the greatest disadvantage In
the cot Is the large amount of worh
required to tend the stock. This 10 9
matter OF no small Importance. There
are usually no windows, so there is nj
sunshine or light when the roof dool

Goodyear Prices

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. It re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-buiIt of extra-fine
rubber, IN the same way as always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyear.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the advance, $780,
600 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to u.s.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of a constant supply, and our pick of
the best that's produced

storage an almost record supply of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance OF
Goodyears And many tire makers, short of
supplies will be forced to use second grade
rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always. And that grade won for Good
years the top place in Tiredom-the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being, our prices are the
same as before the war. We shall try to keep
them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied And we charge thenap
until further notice. only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Goodyears-the best
tires built are selling way below other tires.
