The Tire Expense.
The biggest item Of expense with all car
owners, so far as the general operating cost
is concerned is the tires, And here, too, the
farmer makes record Of economy. me
tire makers are doing everything possible
under the sun to manufacture tires that viii
cover Thousands Of miles under the heaVy
load and terrible strain. well as over all
conditions OF roads. But tires are forever
making trouble for no better reason than
they are mistreated. If the farmer has
single bad habit in this regard 1t is that
of overlooking He can't let anybody walk
on the road It has always been his custom
to tell the fellow on foot to come have a
ride" So it often happens that the farmer
gets several too many on board his ma
chine. To overbalance this he usually supu-
lates oversize tires, and keeps them pumped
to the maximum pressure. In driving he
picks out the best ROADS. f'favOrs it" just
as he has done with his team. The little
care exercised in this adds wonderfully to
the life Of the tires. Regularly he takes

compounds that have been placed the
market for this PURPOSE
Repairing the Tires.
Farmers do their tire repairing, the
distance from garage making this absO
lutely necessary. This has led them to equip
their garages with convenient repair kits,
even to small vulcanizing outfits with which
the spare inner tubes can be made as good
new when blOwOuts or punctures occur.
The outer castings are Kept up in the same
manner. Old and badly worn castings are
made to wear longer by inserting sections
Of discarded cases for inner patches
The feats Of the reckless. such as skid
ding, taking corners at break-neck speed,
jamming on breaks-all the tricks of the
rush mad throng-are seldom attempted by
the farmer; which accounts very largely for
the lOng life of both the car and the tires.
Care and common sense have proved the
motor car the cheapest method of Transport
tatiOn for him. In this he is setting an exc

OGAN WALLER PAGE. director Of

roads, says Nations are as strong

In Britain the road improvement is esti-

to bind firmly every member Of the great
empire into a living whole.
Nor was this energy directed exclusively
toward imperial progress and the building
Of roads for the movement Of legiOns, or
to satiate an empire with the luXurtes OF
remote countries. If not at first, at least
later in her development, Rome saw in her
roads value other than military, for, in the
reign Of Augustus, there was a seemingly
well-devised system Of crossroads leading
to and connecting villages and even farms
with the great military roads. The roads
were no longer exclusively military, but were
farmers. Albert Kimsey owen, Of Baldwins-

Of one cement or brick paved road 20 feet
wide on which roller skaters will glide up

Roller Skate Road.
This roller skate road will be the middle
road Of 10 roads, five on side, in order
that the different classes of vehicles now in
use will not only be confined each class TO
its particular and exclusive road, but that
each class will go out a road on one side
Of the roller skate road and come back on
the other side Of the roller skate road.
Taking one side, the arrangement is to be
follows:
One cement road, Is feet wide. with three

for motor and other cycles; one cement
road 20 feet wide, with two steel plate,
brick or other improved ways for automo-

E1GHTN.FINE NEW FARMERS.

When the University opens next fall
there will be eighty-fiye new farmer
boys here who are the pick of their
counties and who are here for earnest
study. They will be chosen soon BY
competitive examinations, aided BY
other tests. Thirteen will come on the
loan fund of The st. Louis Republic.
Seventy-two will come from counties
that have raised funds to send a boy to
the College of Agriculture. There
may be even more, for some enter
prising counties have raised more than
enough for one boy.
The fact that the people Of the state
have evinced enough interest in the
boys of the farm and enough in the
College OF Agriculture to raise the
money is step in advance of which
Missouri should be proud. And the
University of Missouri and the College
of Agriculture will be glad to welcome
the favorite farm boys of each county
when they come here next fall

Religious AntagOnism Less.

There are several different peoples
among the 5000, 900 Christians who in
habit the 1000 or more islands making
up the archipelago. Some are in a
state Of barbarism little removed from
savagery Religious antagOnism. TO
mented by Spanish rulers, existed be-
tween Christians and MOhammedans
but the antagOnism has apparently
lessened under American control. This
religious difference, jealousy between
the several peoples and the existence
of the wild tribs must be considered
in summing up the case for and
against independence.
In considering the problem the Opin
ions of persons directly affected by
change i'm governmental conditions or
favOring some particular policy for
partisan reasons should be taken with
due allowance for such personal or
party interest The future of the Phil
ippines is too big a question to be de-
cided by the self-interest Of business
men or soldiers or on partisan lines.
If the principles of the Declaration
of Independence. quoted almost daily
in the RenacimientO Filipino. by its
editor. V. YamZon, are to be held as
not applicable in the tropics, the de-
cision, as he pointed out, should be
based on broader and better grounds.
