A NEW FORD STORY.

Here is new Ford story we saw
somewhere, but have forgotten just
where. A man in California writes
to the Ford company and tells them
they should feel very much exalted
for the reason that the Ford is the
only car mentioned in the Bible and
to prove it cites them the passage in
Isaiah which says: went up into
Heaven on high" and asks what other
car but Ford could do that?

ers, the soil section of the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station is estab.
fishing local experiment fields. over the
state as rapidly as funds and the Sc
curing OF local cooperation will per-
nit To secure satisfactory conditions
under which this work can be carried
on men must be found who are willing
to sacrifice some time to the planting,
care. and harvesting OF the crops
grown on the experiment fields. and
who have soil adapted to these expert
ments. Counties that are Interested
in securing such fields should file re-
quests with the soil section at Alnes.
All work undertaken is based on
systematic rotation Of crops. An APP
plication of barnyard manure, green
manure, limestone, rock phosphate,
acid phosphate and commercial fertil-
izer forms the basis of the soil treat
ments. Drainage and deep tillage are
used where it is considered advisable
and all rotations include the growing
of leghume crop at some stage in
the rotation.

+ Calumet is an absolutely sure baking
powder OF absolute purity. It never
fails to produce fully faised bookings
that are tender and temptingly deli
cious. For its wonderful leavening
strength never varies. It's always uni

Calumet costs mere trifle more
than cheap Big Can brands, but it is
decidedly more economical to use.
For big bulk powders of inferior quality
are never dependable-never certain.
Consequently failure as frequently as
success follows their use. So remem-
Der when tempted to save by securing
greater baking powder bulk that you
sacrifice quolity and invite bake-day
failures that usually cost many times
the price OF the Baking Powder.
Many trust brand baking powders
sell at higher price than Calumet.
But none possess the high quality OF
this excellent leavener-as is conclu-
sively proven by the fact that Calumet
received highest awards Worlds Pure

I That the wild and woolly West" is
a thing encountered almost exclu-
4 .sively in motion picture houses now

Figures recently compiled and isued
by the Lincoln Highway Association
with reference to the state of
Wyoming.
I The Lincoln Highway, across
| Wyoming runs through Cheyenne,
Laramie! Rock Springs, and Evanston
in almost a straight line for distance
fof about 400 miles. a trip which can
be made easily in four days leisurely
driving in good weather. Along this
route the tourist encounters IL hotels,
or an average OF one every SO miles.
There are 26 points where meals and
lodgings may be secured, Ii garages,
nine OF which carry standard sizes OF
tires in stock, % stations where gas
and oil may be secured and 80 good
camp sites. Water can be had at Al
points across the state on the Lin
coin Highway. or AN average OF every
10 miles, Ii the tourist wishes to call
up Broadway and AID ST.. or any other
point on the map he can do it at no
less than "a places along the Wyo-
ming stretch OF the Lincoln Highway,
or ii he wishes to wire. 23 telegraph
stations along the route average less
tla: 81 miles apart
Information of this character, which
is so vital to the transcontinental
tourist, is being complied and pub
lished by the Lincoln Highway Asso-
citation in the form OF complete Off
ciat road guide. The Association re-
ports that even in Nevada the tourists
will nnever be farther than 80 miles
from a stopping point of some kind
where water, gas, oil and food can be
