GOOD
ROADS
WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
Mechanical Expert Of Kansas cohes,
Gives Farmers Advice Bsseo on
Practical Experience.

"Wide-tired wagons pull more easil,
than narrow-tired ones 80 per cent o
the times when they are used" say
+. A. Writ, instructor in farm me
chanics in the Kansas state agricul
| tural college Professor Writ has jusi
completed experiments with wide and
with narrow-tired wagons.
Marrow tires pull harder than wide
tires, says Professor Writ, because the
narrow tire cuts deeper into the top
soil. The wide tire does not cut SO
deep and makes better track on roads
which are travelled while the ground is
soft. The wide tire packs the sur
face into a firm roadbed.
The experiments show that in corn
fields, plowed fields, field lanes, and
on pasture and on alfalfa land, the
draft of the wide tire is considerably
less no matter what the condition of
the soil.
In places where the mud is deep
and rolls up on the wheels, in ruts
made by narrow wheels. or in a sur
face of mud with a hard ground be-
meath, the narrow tire will pull more
easily. The narrow wheel fits the
rut, on the hard bottom of which it
runs, and 1t collects less mud than
the wide tire.
Width of tire and height of wheel
have a great effect upon the draft.
The usual width of the narrow tire
is one and three-fourths inches, while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used in the
tests were one and three-fourths and
four inches wide respectively. Six
inch wheels are used only on low
trucks. One type of wheel rarely
found is the low wheel with narrow
tire. The draft with this is so great
that team can hardly pull a load
in soft field surfaces.
A farmer who can afford only one
wagon will find many factors enter
ing into his selection. If he has to
go on the roads in all kinds of wealth
er, he will find the narrow tires bet
ter because they will collect less mud
when the roads are bad. On the 9TH
er hand, If he goes only when the
roads are good, or uses the wagon in
the fields great deal, he will find the

An aerial army no longer is a
dream of romance. Such en- army,
formed in div sions and squadrons,
with battle aeroplanes. cruiser aero
planes, scouts and torpedoplanes. all
armored heavily and carrying three
inch cannon and rapid fire guns, is a
reality. 1t has been made possible
through the remsrL able develop.
ment of military aviation in France.
The French government has permit

was given to inspect the large and

of the lighter draft and less damage

One of the main points in favor OF
the wide tires is that their use great,

thousands. For the first time since
he became President, Mr.. Wilson
gave way ss center of attraction to
another. for the folks conferred their
eyes on the woman, who within the

knowledged applause with smiles.
They made no attempt to hide them
selves and every time they appeared
they were side by side.

 "In olden days we did better than at present, for we were able to cap ture ships Now we had to sink them and all their crews of hundreds of Souls. In this fight we had only eight men killed and fourteen wounded. The enemy's ships fought gallantly and went down with their colors fly ing. THTH
 At the start our squadron divided in certain way and the pursuit be- gan. for the enemy had discovered what they were up against and made off. We steamed at twenty knots and in six hours had them within range. When they saw there was to be no escape they turned and accepted the inevitable. The first ship, the flag ship. was sunk at 1 o'clock after five hours fighting. The Glasgow sank the Leipzig. The Nurnberg and Dresden got away, but the former was follow cd by a swift cruiser and sank. She saved. some of the men.

Some Things the Agricultural Station

Py actual experiments conducted through the sub-stations at Mena and Marianna. the agricultural experiment. station has shown that:
 Ten leading varieties of cotton out yield others by as much as $14 or $l3 all acre.
 Ten leading varieties of corn out yield others t,y as much as ten bush els an acre.
 Leading varieties of wheat tested at Fayetteville can be grown successfully in other parts of the state.
 A late cultivation of corn adds as much as two and one-half bushels an acre to the yield during dry seasons
 Sub-soiling with dynamite is eXpen- sive and not profitable 1 Phosphorus is the element of fert1 l ity most needed in the soils of Ar kansas.
 1 The soils of Arkansas respond very rapidly to good treatment. When first started, the Mena farm would not pro- duce ten bushels of corn an acre. Six years later. the same land is pro- ducing SO bushels an acre

If the farmer wishes to benefit by to bring next fall and winter. he should begin to get ready for them at once, say the poultry specialist , in the department of agriculture at Washington. The way to have eggs Tate in the year is to hach outlets early. It is the early matches iron: which the early bullets are derive" that are the largest money makers 'or the poultry producer.

REPRESENTATIVES. IN
 SKIRTS NOT STYLISH
Fashion Decrees That Spring Suits Shall Have Full Skirts With
 Taffeta Lining.

Another blow has fallen. There are to be no more transparent skirts. The X-ray neither garment that shocked everybody--almost-last summer, has gone into total eclipse. The skirts this summer, which will come pretty close to the bigness of the old crino- lines, will have to be lined in taffeta to give them the fullness that fashion demands. The style bulletin of the Fashion Art league of America says:
 'FMaterials of the new spring suits gre mostly of gabardine voile. This is fashions very latest word in fab ric. It is sheer, transparent mater ial But the skirts will not be trans parent Step by step We are approach ing the gowns of the old crinoline days. The skirts this summer will be big and full, and the fullness will be attained by the stiff taffeta lining. This lining will make the skirt of 1915 non-transparent. This is great change from the style that pertained last season.
 Materials for spring, whether of gabardine or the plainer weaves. take braiding as a trimming and this braid ing is mostly soutache, rather than of the w'der varieties. A novelty of this sort that will be seen on dark blue suit is a soutache woven in mixed red and blue. There is a strong ten dency in the use of red. especially the the dark rose shade. This was recom- "e"ded several months ago by the Fashion Art league of America.
