THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES.


agricultural and Commercial Press servicel
1t is interesting 10 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 silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fiict 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 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 its 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 uR-
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 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-five
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 stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwoed
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 its ap-
pearance ON the bicycle, but it proved
frivolous servant and was dismissed
| for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to reyel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and its 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 marvellous differ
| ence between a rubber and az iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t will traverse the con-
tinent with net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on? tt

HESITATION TWIN CALVES
Progeny of Red Polled Cow Arrive
Six Weeks Apart

Atchison, Kansas-Two perfectly
good calves, born six weeks apart.
one sired by a Jersep and the other
by Holstein, is the record of a red
polled COW belonging to George Ed

who looked at the COW last Wednes-
day with view of purchasing her.
nave never seen such thing before.
If all cows were like that" said
'Mr. Green, the high price Of beef
would soon 60 down.
The Holstein calf was born Fri.
day morning. On Wednesday had
looked at the COW, being in the mar
ket for fresh one. and told Ed
wards ! couldn't use her because she
was going to have calf.
/" That's impossible he told me, 4
just sold her calf yesterday. 1t was
six weeks old. And to convince me he
sat down and MIXED a bucket full
Of good milk.
I can't help IT, / answered. I
can tell when a cows going to have
2 calf, and that cows going to have
one.'"
Saturday morning Mr.. Green went
back to look at the COW. and found
the day-old Holstein calf. Edwards
was dumbfounded. And local stock
experts are unable to explain the
mystery. HF

FOOL FRIENDS OF LABOR

Honest workmen everywhere
should pray without ceasing to be de-
livered from their fool friends. This
remark is inspired by the latest
break of William d. Haywood, the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fthe Industrial
Workers of the World.
1t is mighty hard to have patience
with such chaps as Haywood. His
latest break is the earnest expression
of desire to wipe out capital al
together; to confiscate all property;
to tear down the big cities and in
this way bring the workers into
ideal existence"
To reach this result he says he
would resort to any kind of tactics,
even if it meant revolution. He has
no use whatever for the present in
dustrial and political systems of this
country.
All this and more of a like in
f1ammatory nature Haywood declared
to the federal industrial relations
commission in Washington. 1t will
be well worth noting what reception
is given to his outpourings by the
men who really represent the labor
of the country.
Haywood is no stranger in Idaho.
He has for years been running as
close as he dared to the line that
marks the boundary Of criminality.
The astonishing thing is that he has
any followers at all. Idaho Review.

Whether the high school recently es-
tsblished at Chevy Chase should be
abolished or continued was the subject
OF a'lively controversy before the coun-
ty public school commissioners here yes
terday. when two large delegations Of
prominent citizens of the lower section
Of the county consumed several hours
OF the boards time
Harry NJ. Martin and DR.. George II.
Wright were the principal speakers who
urged the abolition Of the school. Mr..
Martin argued that the school had been
established without legal authority. and
held that II the lower section OF the
county was to have a high school II
should be located at Kensington. which
rcint. ne asserted, IL most convenient
to the greatest number Of children. DIR.
Wright did not address his remarks so
much against the Chevy Chase school
as he did against the high schools of
tho county generally. He thought tina,
the high school at Rockville sould be
continued and raised to a higher degree
Of efficiency. and that the other high
schools OF the county should be done
away with and the elementary schools
raised TO a better standard.
