Automobile Runs.

The worlds largest automobile, hav-
ing a carrying capacity of twenty-five
tons, has been built for transporting
wool across country in Australia.
The spokes Of a new automobile
wheel, resilient without using pneu-
matte tires, are telescoping tubes con-
tanning springs, while eight springs
connecting the spokes give the needed
r1gidity.
New French automobile wheels are
equipped with both pneumatic and
solid tires, the latter being slightly
smaller and arranged to share the bur-
den when heavy loads depress the for
mer more than ordinarily or they are
punctured.

The most exhaustive Of tests have
shown that it takes only one-twentletn

The wireless telephone. which is

Street Improvements.

The Paving Commission is COM
posed of the best business men OF
our city, and receive no pay 1oi
their services, and their services
should be appreciated, but like all
commissions of this sort, are no.
infallible, and, Judging from the
criticisms of many taxpayers, thell
criticisms have been justly made UP
on the lines and grades of some OF
our streets. Just now, while the
work is being done on Locust street
at a cost to me of 500 or $3.50,
feel as I am to help pay the expen-
ses, as a taxpayer, l have a rlgh'
to express my views
The Commission has allowed Inc
curb line to be established on Lo'
Gust street, corner of High street
to the disadvantage of the stree'
traffic, 5 or 6 feet, and Wldeneo
the Dorchester National Ban, pave
ment 5 feet (which is of no practlca
use. but would be of great benefit
to those using the road-bed OF
street all for what? To estab-
iish a straight Line on a crooked
street.
Mr.. Hatton is a practical clTl
engineer, and knows his business
and as he is doing this work ufdel
the supervision of the Commission
I have no criticism to make Of him
except to say, that where street:
have been in use over 200 years
the lines should, in measure, con
form to the streets, and the stralgh
fine idea should not be rigldly en-
forced. My opinion is that thA
Commission should re-establish th'
curb line on Locust street, corne
of High street, by putting fee
of the bank pavement in the stree
bed, running a straight line to th'
corner of Locust and Mill streets
This would greatly increase tn"
width of the st rect and furnish al
needed space tor VIDE pavement
The present curb line established
will give my premises 4 or 5 fee
more pavement, where there is al
ready a good, wide pavement, ant
I think the Commission is deprivin:
the travelling public of its rights
to the disadvantage of the proper
ty owners on Locust street, b.
forcing upon them an unneoessar!
expense. and in having a pavemen
with unnecessary width.
This work will likely stand TO
centuries to come, and sholrlt
be done for the best interest o
the town and people.

MuIchins Vegetables.

For several years I have been try
ing manure mulches In my home vege-
table garden. The results have been
most encouraging. Asparagus has
thrived with no attention whatever
after the application Of fresh horse
manure early In the spring. There
is no reason why every home garden
er should not have fine asparagus

 MARITZ REBELLION
Free States North of Bluemfor- tain Assure England of

London, Oct. 16.-A Renter dispatch from Pretoria says:
 "At a meeting of command ants representing all the Free States north of Bluemfontain held at Kroonstad, a resolution was adopted denouncing, as a blow on the honor of the Free State, the rebellion started in the northwest of the Cape prov inces by Coloner Maritz. The resolution pledged the fullest support of the commandants to the government and requested a mobilization of the Burghers to crush the rebellion.
 Gen. Jan Christian Shuts, minister of defense, thanked the commandants for their tender of support. He explained, however that mobilization was unneces- sary, as it would put more men in the field than would be needed.
 '"The action taken by the Kroonstad meeting is consider ed significant in view of the fact that hitherto the people of the Congo Free-State were luke warm regarding the campaign against the Germans"

STATES IS
 NOW ONE NATION
Parade at Reunion Will Be Led by Stars and Stripes and Stars and Bars. Splen-
 did Program

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-That the United States is one nation, that no flag stands before Old Glory in the heart of any citizen was demonstrated in the discussion of placement for the veterans of the Union and Confederate arm ies in the parade during the Con- federante Reunion to be held in Little Rock, Nov. 3, 4, and 5. The meeting to complete the de- tails of this parade was attend ed by Confederate Veterans, Sons and Daughters of the Con- federacy.
 After it had been reported that six battle scared Confeder- ate flags would be in the parade, Gen. J. R. Gibbons, Commander of the Arkansas Division of Con- federate Veterans, arose and stated:-
 "At the head of our procession we will have the United States flag, that is our flag now, and we are one nation. We will follow it."
 This statement was met with applause, but as the veterans of the opposing sides in this war will march together, it was fin- ally agreed that the Stars and Bars would be carried beside the Stars and Stripes.
 The Sons and daughters of the Federal soldiers will also parti- cipate in the parade which hon. ors the Confederate veterans, as will also the Boy Scouts of Little Rock, the local company of the Arkansas National Guard, the Political Equality League, and various other organizations.

WANTS FILLING FOR
 THIRTY TON SILO

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-Anyone having a surplus crop of jimp- son weed, cookie burrs, dog fen mel, or anything else that will answer for fodder during the winter months will confer a fav- or on Pres. J. J. Doyne of the State Normal at Conway, ii they will bestow upon him a sufficient quantity to fill his 30 ton silo.
 Pres. Doyne is one of the pro- gressive farmers of the state, and as such he felt called upon to erect silo at the Normal, and there is nothing like doing the thing right, so he decided the larger the silo, the better it would be done. Consequently he ordered 30 ton silo and stood by in awe as he watched it grow in proportions. He awed a bit more when he watched the hired men about the Normal undertake ing to fill the pesky thing. The silo consumed the ab- normal yield from an extensive pea patch. On top of this went the cutting from very fine mea- dow of alfalfa. kaffir corn, or dinary field corn, and his friends say few sets of old harness, went into the silo in the frantic effort to fill it to the roof. The monster still shows three feet of vacant space near the top, and Pres. Doyne is now looking for something to fill this. and in the meantime he is doing a lot of wishing that the thing will shrink by next year.
