Although the railroads are leady to
move the Kansas wheat crop, they
may not have so much of it to move
in the immediate future if the wheat
prices are not right. Most of the Kan
sas farmers are in better position to
hold their wheat this year than they
have been in a decade. And they are
evidently not in a mood to allow the
wheat spectators to wax fat at their

On the Spur
of the Moment
when Father was a BOY.
BY ROY K. MOULTON

When Father Was a Boy.
This world was certainly frost
When father was n boy;
Just think of all the fun they lost
They had no use for joy.
They were a very gentle lot
And never did what they should not
To make their honored parents hot,
When father was a boy.
They had no air guns fer to shoot,
When father was a boy.
They had no bugles fer to toot,
Or any other toy.
And shortly after they were born
They had to hike out in the morn
And hoe the taters and the corn
When father was a boy.

BE GUARDED AGAINST
Heat E1pnnsion of Air in Tires Not
Sufficient to DO Harm, Says
Goodyear Expert.

One often hears the argument that
heat causes expansion of the air In a
tire sufficient to produce blow out"
says +. w. Litchield. factory manager
Of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. Many motorists thus excuse
their habit OF running tires UNDER
inflated. Even experienced garage men
advise that tires be run at fifteen to
twenty pounds lower pressure in hot
weather We have to admit OF course.
that heat does expand air and raises
the pressure in tire. but in it's prac-
insufficient to cause even the slightest
danger.
ITO satisfy ourselves on this point
we recently made an unusually severe
test. using runabout equipped with
33x4 tires We selected a day which,
according to the local records. was the
hottest June day ever recorded. The
tires were pumped up to eighty pounds
with the car standing in the cool OF
the garage. 1t was driven intcrmit
tently for about an hour, and when not
running was allowed to stand in the
sun. Then IL was taken for a spin at
forty miles an hour over brick and
tarred wood = block pavementS. On
measuring the pressure we found il
had increased just four pounds.
''AS far as the welfare of the tire is
concerned. a difference of four pounds
is really mo difference at all. Tires
are now built with such Il high factor
Of safety that an increase in pressure
Of many times four pounds would not
cause a blowout. unless already ruined
by overlooking and underinflation. We
have often inflated up to 800 pounds
without any damage to the tire.
The most serious variation in tire
pressure is caused by leakage. Rub

TWO MODELS OFFERED BY

ROndster and Five

Different Chassis.

The bort Motor Car Company pre-

Cineer departed from average motor
car practice by providing different
chassis for each of the models.

sufficient power is desirable in both
models il is waste of energy and eX-
?ense TO impose upon the purchaser of
the two passenger car the same weight
that is supplied to the one who drives
a i've passenger car.
