FARM LIFE HAPPIER
NOW, DUE TO AUTOS
WHY'S Analyses the CHEEKY
State Of the Agricultural
ist-MOtOrist.
~ JOHN ". wILLYs.

The farmer does not now have to stay
at home II he has car. He does not
feel himself rooted to the soil His wife
and children will be happier and more
contented. An automobile brings free
dom--freedom from isolation. freedom
from loneliness, freedom from the limi-
tations OF time and distance.
To the farmer car Is far more than
. mere luxury. 1t is a vital necessity
to him and his family. 1t offers well
come relief. 1t makes him better
worker by giving him recreation and
pleasure he could not otherwise have.
Its broadening mental effect Is one OF Its
greatest benefits to him.
Once the farmer has an automobile
he soon finds himself looking forwdrd to
summer evening rides with his family.
with the cool breeze blowing away the
fever heat OF tho days work In the
fields. He hnds himself able to go on
pleasure trips. to picnics and so on. with
his wife and children, which hitherto he
was unable to enjoy because of the dis
tance to be covered In the time at his
disposal. Many a man has reported
that he doesn't feel the hard work OF
harvest time as much a. he did before
his car gave him tho needed relaxation.

DAYS. A horse IL too slow and the dis
tance no can cover Is too small Tor any
one really to get any great amount OF
recreation from an even'sss drive. At
the same time. an automobile costs
money only when In actual use. unlike
the horse. which Is constant expense.
In winter instead Of huggins tho hre.

The automobile also facilitates COM

ences in fostering a strong sense OF good
fellowship and fraternal cooperation
among farmers.
when the church. the school and the
grange flourish, the opportunities Tor

naturally multiplied. In enabling the
farmer to make the most or these insti-

owner one more invaluable service.

STATE LAWS FOR

JOHNSTON REVIEWS YEAR

citation Of New York state.


Al the beginning OF this years iegisla-
Five session we were confronted by tho
usual number Of bills designed to regu-
lts .he use Of automobiles. All the Old
,svori,es were introduced, including tho
hll requiring the examination and
licensing OF all owners. the filing Of
bonds by all operators. &c. AL
these freak bills we're killed IN COM
,nl,tce after n hearing wnich was at
tended by representatives OF the various
associations interested.
The committees VI the Senate and
Assembly contented themselves with re-
rorting favorably OH a bill designed 10
double the license fees on all motor
vehicles. Instantly there was storm
~ protest from every section OF the
state and the bill was amended SO
that the Increase was only 80 per cent.
This amended bill was quite as unsat-
Isfactory TO our association for the
reason that at the time the present law
was passed an agreement was entered
into between the State officials and our
selves TO the effect that license fees
would not thereafter bo increased by
the LEGISLATURE.
The bill which We had been fighting
was amended NO as TO leave unchanged

pose this bill and In the last few hours
Of the legislative secession the bill was
again amended and was passed. In It's
anal form the bill undertook to pro-
ylde for the licensing OF motorcycles.
This last provision was not opposed
by any one and would doubtless have
heen passed had II been put through
~ a separate measure, but in the haste
Of the last moments of the Legislature
the bill was so crudely drawn that. as
our counsel. Charles Thaddeus Terry.
pointed out to Gov. Whitman. II omitted
any provision for the reregistration of
motor vehicles and would therefore
have resulted in loss OF revenue to the
state The bill was therefore vetoed
by the Governor and for another year
at least automobile owners will pay
fees under the old Callan law. This
lsw. " should he said. contains every
reasonable regulation for motor vehicles
and Il has proved to be a wonderful
source OF revenue for the State.
We think that as \ result Of the edu-
rational work that We did this year
there will he no serious attempt to
change the Callan law for some years

OPPOSED SEAMEN MEASURE
Eastland Official Wrote Letters to
Secretary RedfieId.

Washington, July q. - Secretary
Redfeld of the department of COM
merce has had a spirited correspond
ence with Manager Hull of the line
owning the Eastland over the proyi-
sions of the seaman's bill, which will
become effective respecting vessels on
the Great Lakes Nov. |.
Mr. Hull contended in his CORE
spondence with the secretary that the
existing law is sufficient and cited
the equipment of the Eastland to sup
port his argument.
Secretary Redlield in reply wrote
Mr. Hull that in his opinion the pro-
visions of the seaman's law, which
would have required an increase of
crew on the Eastland to act in case
of emergency and increase of life
RATS to float. off the ship in case of
sinking, and other safeguards, might
some time be the means of saving
many lives.

AGGRAVATES THE SITUATION
LeeIanaw Sinking Comes as a Shock
to Washington.

Washington, July 27-The torpedo
ing of the American steamer Leelan-
aw is a shock to American officials,
who see in the incident further aggra-
walton of the situation between Ger
many and the United States.
They hesitated in the absence of de-
tails to construe the act as coming
within the war zone of the last Amer
lean note, which pointed out that
further violation of international law
affecting American citizens would be
regarded as deliberately unfriendly.
But the view taken is that Germany,
in effect, has ignored and disregarded
an earlier note sent in connection
with the sinking of the American
sailing ship William r. Frye by the
German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In that communication the United
States vigorously asserted its posi-
ton that even if an American ship
carries contraband of war it is pecu-
liarly protected from destruction by
the stipulations of the Prussian-Amer-
ican treaty of 1928. Flax, which was
being carried by the Leelanaw, was
declared absolute contraband by Ger
many on April Is as retaliation
against the British contraband decla-
ration.
While precedents of international
law in recent years, supported partic-
ularly by the declaration of London
have recognized the right of bel
ligerent to sink a neutral vessel car
rying contraband If the ship is certain
of condemnation by prize court, che
action has been limited to extreme
cases of necessity when the taking OF
a prize into port would involve danger
to the vessel making the capture.

Great Britain Justfies Orders-in-
Council

Washington, July 27.--Great Brit
aims reply to the American note of
March 80 protesting against enforce
ment of the orders-in-council, which
restrict neutral commerce, has been
received here.
1t holds that the orders are within
international law. although they may
involve a new application of princi-
pies, and argues that IL is proper to
await a judicial Interpretation.
The new note, in the most courteous
language, holds that Great Britain s
action is justified by the decisions of
the United States supreme court In
cases arising during the Civil war.
Any differences with the United
States over what is termed the new
application of principles are held to
be proper for submission to judicial
settlement.
