At dinner party the other evening reference having been made to the good old days in the little brick school house, this story was recalled by James L. Rice, coach of the Columbia college crew:
 The teacher in public school was giving a demonstration in mental arith' metic. and after speaking at some length she turned to a bright-faced boy at the head of the class.
 Now, then. Willie" said she. do you think that you can answer me a question in mental arithmetic?"
 Yes, ma'am." was the confident re- ioinder of the beaming youngster.

"DRY FARMING" IN THE WEST
Under SemLArid Conditions-Con- eress Held at Denver.

The extent to which dry farming" has become part of our national az riculture is indicated by the prepara- tions that are being made for the con- gress that is to be held in Denver. Sep tember 26 to October 10 next. Thir- teen states outside of Colorado have already made direct or indirect appro- considering the matter fayorably or have indicated their intention to make some kind of state display. These vir- tually include all of the states west of the Missouri river, together with Wis consin, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Minnesota.
 Dry farming" consists essentially in the selection of crops suitable to semi. arid conditions with such methods of cultivation as will secure the most ia. voratse results in production from the scanty rainfall. These special methods of farming. remarks the Pueblo Colo. ) Chieftain. have already added hun dreds of thousands of acres to the pro ductive area of the western states, and millions to the annual crop value. A much larger benefit is certain to be realized from this source in the future, and it Is not surprising that the peo. pie of all the western states should be desirous of learning more about the principles Of dry farming" and their application under the various local conditions

NEW AUTO RECORD SET
COAST TO COAST RUN MADE IN

Mrs. Lillian Harris Has Moved Up the Mark for Woman Long Dis
 tance Drivers.

In making the coast-to-coast drive New York to Los Angeles-in c+ days, Mrs. Lillian Harris of Redbank. N. J., is considered 10 have set a new rec, ord for woman drivers.
 Carrying four other women as pas. sengers. Mrs. Harris drove the entire distance of 1850 miles without assist. ance. She reached her destination without mechanical or any other kind of difficulty. One of the things about which Mrs. Harris was particularly en. thusiastic was the absence of fatigue during the tour. which she attributes to the smooth running of the car and the ease with which i; was handled.
 Out of the twenty-four days there were only four on which it was neces- sary to go into gears lower than high, the use of the intermediate and low gears being occasioned by encounter. ing some unusually bad roads
 After the women have visited the San Diego exposition. toured southern California and have seen the San Fran. cisco fair. they will begin the return trip overland, following the Lincoln highway.

designed 10 regulate the intensity of the light and may be set at low. me dium, high, or out. thus permitting the operator 10 regulate the lights ac- cording to road conditions or the ne- cessity for having more or less light.
 Those who have electric lights have no excuse for using glaring headlights in the city except occasionally when a light circuit is out of commission. which is seldom and usually only for a few hours after a severe storm The streets and boulevards are generally speaking so well lighted as to require only the side lights, and their use alone would go long way toward the ultimate end Of the safety first" cru sade.
 Another handy little device which can be used in connection with the electric system is what is called a stickalite lamp. which has a magnet attachment to secure the lamp to any steel part of the car while adjustments are being made or a tire is being changed. This operates from an ordi- nary six volt storage battery such as is used for ignition purposes. It is only one inch in diameter. has a re Hector tube which acts as . protector to the bulb. and weighs but three ounces.-Chicsgo Tribune.

An Indianapolis concern has brought out what is termed a thermo cutout, which is attached to the dash of the car and which is designed to incicats whether a circuit is complete CT wheth- CT there is a leak or short. Crossed wires or a ground will cause the cut out to turn on all circuits. Difficulty on any circuit may be found by re- setting the cutout so that when the switch is turned to the various cir cults the faulty one will operate the eutout.
 With the proper use Of electric headlights there should be no objec- tion on the part of pedestrians. and there need be no glaring headlights. for several devices have been brought out to use smaller lights when de- sired. The use of electric lights per- mits the operator to turn the lights on or oH at will, and so while using the side lights to conform to the laws re- ouirements 1t is only necessary to switch on the headlights for an in- stant if . particularly dark piece of rosdv.y is encountered and turn them o6 at once their work is done.
 In the use of the headlights an i'm provement has come whereby a switch is located on the dash and the lever may be operated by the foot. This is

DEFINITION OF DRY FARMING
Principal Th,rss Are Water Con servation. Drought Resistant Crops
 and System Of Rotation.

Dry farming simply means good farming. There is no place in the United States where crops are not reduced 10 some extent every year on account of an insufficient supply of water. The principal things then in dry farming are water conservation. the proper selection of drought re- sistant crops. and a wise system of crop rotation. large proportion of the land devoted to forage and feed crops. with sufficient number of animals to consume all the cheap roughage pro duced on the farm.
 In controlling the water supply the first thing to do is to get the water Into the ground and then prevent per Sill absorb water more rapidly and hold a greater quantity if it is prop erly titled. Hence, fall blowing of the land, if it does not blow, is adyis- able. The blowing should be deep and thorough. Since organic matter will hold much more water than an equal volume of soil particles, the addition VI 'cbc'auiS IudttcT ls Ncig impOi 1oAt. After the water is in the soil much of the evaporation can be prevented by frequent and shallow cultivation. An endeavor should be made to keep the loose soil mulch. but not dust blanket, as 1t is frequently called.
 Dry farming consists of: First, till ing so that the water will be absorbed by the soil: second, a good selection of drought resistant crops and the proper utilization of the crops.

PRICE 0F OLD CAR
To Get Fair Values New Car Purchaser Must Consider
 Several Factors.
LESS THAN 0NE-HAlf VALUE
Average Purchaser Doesn't Know All Conditions Entering Into Disposal of used Machine by Dealer
 and Should Make Liberal
 Allowances for Them.

The new car purchaser, who would obtain fair price for his old car as partial payment, must consider sever. al factors that enter into the trans. action.
 His old car, no matter how short a time it may have been cared for. is nevertheless a secondhand machine. and therefore possesses an actual mar ket value probably scarcely more than half that credited to it by its owner. When taken in exchange. it probably will need overhsuling to a greater or less extent, and possibly painting and vanishing. IL will oc, cupy space in the dealers showroom or repair shop during the time that it remains unsold. and this can be repre-. sented in actual dollars and cents costs for rent; carrying" second hand cars constitutes no small portion oi the cost of doing business on the part of the dealer who takes many such vehicles in exchange. In addition to these costs. the dealer has cold cash investment equal 10 the amount al. lowed for the secondhand car. He must pay interest on this, and the transaction is the same as though he had loaned this sum to the purchaser of the new car and had taken the sec, ond-hand machine as security. Fur. thermore. it is only fair that the dealer should expect a small profit on the resale of the used car that will not only cover the actual expense of overhauling. but that will represea; the legitimate profit of doing busi. ness.
 The average purchaser cannot, o! course, know of all the conditions af fecting the disposal of his used car by 8 certain dealer. He should not, how. ever. allow the difference of $50. sl00 or even $500, that might be offered on the exchange of the new car, to stand in the way of the selection of the ma. chine which he has decided will be best suited 10 his requirements. It may generally be assumed that a re, liable dealer handling a reliable car will offer fair price for a used car fin exchange for a new one.-H. W. Siau' son in Leslies.
