fact. the farmer should have plenty Of
money. This fact is suggestive in the
motor industry, as il is conceded that
the farmer and the people OF the middle
west are going TO furnish a big part Of
the motor car market this year
Another big factor that should make
for the prosperity Of the nation, al
though at the expense Of other countries,
IS the general war now taking place IN
Europe. With this condition Of affairs,
one can see readily just what effect 1t
will have on the American market.
When countries go to war. as in this
case, 1t means that production Of all
kinds in the lands so concerned must
cease. Nothing can be grown on the
farms, because the farmer has should

Gasoline Spray Useful

SUBSTITUTE may be found in the ordi-
nary gasoline blow-torch. If the valve
of this IS opened wide without the gas
oline being ignited, a spray Of consid-
cradle force, depending on the press
ure that has been raised within the
tank, will be shot forth The utmost
care must~be taken against explosions.
however, as the gasoline vaDor thus
mixed with air is a highly explosive
mixture, Of the same sort as the car
bureter provides for the engine. Where
the gasoline spray is used the car
should be outdoors, so that the gaso-
line vapor, will be quickly blown away.

The Speeder
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of aAt Good Old siwash-"

-HE speeder is a mistake Of natures
which accidentally got classed as
l. a human and therefore cannot be
eradicated with a club.
When nature finishes a speeder she
gives him q single-barreled brain with
one idea in it. This idea is the belief
that it is smart to break the speed
laws As soon as a speeder is old
enough to escape from his nurse he
takes his fathers autOmObl bile out and
fulfllls his mission
Speeders vary from 10 to 10 years in
age, but not very much in intellect
When a speeder is driving IS miles an
hour, imperiling life Of all description,
he is happy. When he is driving so
miles an hour and buggies are being
driven into the ditch 10 escape him he
is filled with deep Joy When he is
driving mile minute with the
muller cut out and the motorcycle cop
hOpelessly behind, his bosom sWells and
he would not trade places with a SEN

After a speeder has raced up and
down a street for a few days he has
torn Up most Of the road and has
blown IL into peoples faces and the
nearby houses Wherever a dense
cloud Of dust IS seen there may be
found a speeder making himself as well
come on earth as a chinch bug
The speeder often runs over people
and produces obituaries OF a most dis
tressing nature 1t is indeed sad TO see
a little girl trying to get out OF the
way Of a two-ton automobile travelling
40 miles an hour and falling TO do so
by a short margin But OF course this
is the public's fault. II people lived
in trees they would not bother the

After John Bealle, eleven years old,

dentally shot his companion, Albert

street, in the side of the face yester-

up the wounded boy and carried him
half a square to drug store. When
the druggist discovered the wound
was serious. he sent the wounded bow
to his home and advised the prompt
calling of the family physician.
The two boys were playing in the
Bea;le home while Johns mother was
away for time. In their romping
about the house they found 32-cali-
Der revolver in a bureau drawer.
Bealle removed it from the drawer
and was holding it in his hand when
the revolver was accidentally dis-
charged. The bullet struck Albert in
the left side of the face. Realizing
that his companion might be seriously
wounded, the elder boy took him to
the drug store.
After a physician had been called he
arranged for the removal of the IN
jured boy to Children's Hospital.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY RAPS
CERTAIN TUNGSTEN MINES
Advises Prospective Investors in
Certain Mining Stocks to Ex-
anime Before Buying.

The United States geological survey,
Uncle Sans bureau which has first-hand
knowledge of the wonders and values
lying under the surface of this earth,
is sending out warning to prospective
investors in tungsten mines
The warning tells a lot of things that
one should know before buying one of
the beautifully engrossed certificates of
stock in mining companies the summary
OF which seems to be if you are not
mining expert, if you don't know some
thing about the mines and the operators.
you had better keep your money salted
away and let the promised big profits
go f1uttering by
Inquiries about these mines have been
flowing into the survey in quantities, but
then the bureau doesn't attempt to
knock or puncture any particular
mining venture. This is what the experts
tell the embryo capitalists:
THE survey will venture the advice
that no mining stocks of any kind should
| be bought unless the property has been
carefully examined either by the buyer
or by some one who has knowledge
| OF mines and in whom the buyer has
| confidence. Unless the buyer has a knowl-
edge of minerals, mines and mining his
own opinion is. of course. unsafe. Besides
knowing the ground itself, prospective
| investor should be sure of the integrity
| OF the promoters and company officers
and of the officers capacity for conduct
ing the mining, milling and numerous
other operations connected with the
working of a mine. Unless all these
things are known the survey would ad-
| wise against investment"
Extravagant Claims Circulated.
That is the advice handed out to the
individual inquirer, but then the survey
has this to say about some of the lungs
ten mining companies:
There have been some notoriously au-
dacious and dishonest promotions of
tungsten deposits. Companies have been
greatly overcapitalized, extravasant
claims as to future production and
profits have been made, and the unwary
have been led to put their money into
properties from which little return has
been or probably will be realized. ONLY
very small part of the subscribed cap
| ital has gone into the DEVELOPMENT or
operation of the mining properties
! probably the reason why SO MANY
have been led to invest is that investors.
lacking knowledge of tungsten and its
! ores, are not in position to Judge of

promoters"
