THE BATTLE Of
i. THE TIRES

Agricultural and Commercial Press servicel
IL is interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN.
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con.
tiict but the results are more far.
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
ing for point Of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim.
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re.
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation
II the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic it's next struggle is with
the railroads Of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
OF this earth is on, for iron is the un.
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions Of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1853
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands OF
steel. 1t took the iron tire ffty.hve
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys.
ses. The roadbed was already pre.
pared and therein lies the power OF
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
OF defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch Of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's al
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and it's reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ.
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for witt,
transportation at every mans dor,
why a city? 1t will traverse the con.
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule.
ward built by Napoleon. It will par.
alyze the law making bodies Of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

Soaring tho Conscience.

OF all her curious customs London
cannot boast of a more singular m
that that formerly so strictly adhered
to at Holland House. one of the most
historic old mansions In the. British
capital. The last Of the Lords Holland
shot himself during n fit Of despond-
ency. Everything pointed to a clear
case Of self murder, yet the Holland
family could be dissuaded from
the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assassin.
Accordingly every night for years it
vas the custom for one of the family
to go to the rear of the house punctu-
ally at II o'clock and fire a gun for the
purpose. 1t IS said. Of soaring the con-
science" of the murderer. This curl
GUS practice is a relic Of medieval
days in continental Europe, and the
case in point is probably the only in
stance where 1t has been noticed since
the days of the crusades.
When Men Powdered Their Faces.
The use of powders for the hair and
face, which began in the sixteenth CEN
tury, infected the men. Henry III. had
the habit Of parading the streets Of
Paris, his face covered with white and
red paste. like a faded coquette. and
his hair filed with violet powder and
scented with musk. Powders were
made Of all cOlors, and the i%nfatuation
was such that servant girls were afraid
to be seer in public with their hair of
the natural color and, not being able to
buy that used by their employers, en-
don Mirror.

That the Chautauqua has been Of a very great benefit to this
community is beyond a question. 1t has brought the outside
ment directly to us. It has brought us men and women whose in
fuence is national and worldwide, leaders in politics, science, re-
igon, social progress, business and domestic economics. No one
can estimate it's permanent value for the inlplanting of good pur-
our young people will bear fruit for generations and the enrich
ment OF adult lives means a constant increase of the Joy of living.
We love our country and our homes more because of it. The finer
things of life are so seldom brought to mind and the enjoyment
OF wholesome laughter and splendid music so rare that the Chau-
tauqua is the brightest time Of the year. It's we'll worth the ef-
fort to make the ChautauQua not only successful, but better, big
ger than ever. Let's do it. if for no other purpose than to have a
good time, benefit ourselves, friends and family.
Men whose political memory runs back twenty years are find
ing a close and curious parallel between the political conditions of
1895 and those Of 1915. The country then had a Democratic adj
misunderstanding The country today has a Democratic ad-
Observation-Disclosures The country then had a tariff law-the
law-the Underworld Simmons bill. Then, as now, there was
widespread unemployment and deep discomfort all over the land.
Then, as now, the country had just experienced a sweeping Re-
publican victory in the elections of the previous "of year" Then,
tlnued sweep of Republican a~scendancy. Then, as now, the coun-
try was looking forward with eageIness to its approaching relief
from Democratic administration and to the restoration of the Re-
publican party to power. The political indications of 1895 found
their fulfllnnent in the election of Mckinley in 1896. The political
indications of 1915 will find their fulfllment in the election of an
other Republican president in 1916.
At the last session of the legislature, the law pertaining to boun-
ty for tree planting was amended, and under the new law any per-
son who plants or causes to be planted trees on the farms of the
state is entitled to a bounty of three dollars per acre for trees
condition. The requirements are for 400 trees to the acre, the
amount OF the bounty cannot exceed the amount of the tax on the
quarter OF land on which the trees are planted, and the acreage
for tree bounty is limited to ten acres. It costs more than most
people estimate to plant and care for a large grove, but nothing
adds more to the general appearance of the country or the farm
homes. Those who have spent their time and money should make
supposed to examine the groves when they are around taking the
regular assessment.

That President Wilson will handle matters with Germany to the
satisfaction of a large majority of the American people goes with
out saying. Could we expect less of him? 1t is not a complicated
situation, and if MI. Wilson is not big enough a man to get over
this matter, would we feel that he is qualified, to any extent, for
the position which he holds at the head of the nation?

Reasons for their attitude are Interestingly
set forth by Assistant Secretary of the Navy

Of the North American Review. He says:

keeping, 1t rs not fast, and 1t Is extremely Tui-
nerable. Already devices for its destruction
are multiplying: The aeroplane or dirigible
can see it well below the surface; the net, the
mine field, the destroyer are all being used to
oppose it. and new type of armed patrol boat

sea s surface for signs of the mechanical whale
that must come up. Submarine signals, also,
although now in the infancy of development
will doubtless soon be able to detect the pres
ence of moving submarines and give accurately
their direction and distance.
1T would be, of course, not unreasonable to
suppose that, while the weapons for the de-
struction Of underwater craft are being per-
lfected, the improvement of the submarine itself

accidents occur; these are the evils of any new

years ago. But the time is not far distant
when the " habitability z and safety from mis-

any other high-powered, complicated vessel of
