tinued, so as to avoid shipping the
fertility to some other locality.
One of the principal things in
agriculture is to stay as close to
nature as possible. Why this pre-
caution? AS | stated before, New
Jersey buys in one year three
million dollars worth of CONNER
cial fertilizers; North Carolina six
million dollars worth and others
in proportion in the farther south
east.
In the central states they are
going heavily for livestock and
dairying. Why? Because in animal
husbandry they consume what
they produce, also what the west
ern farmer produces, that is the
waste products as bran, middlings,
oilmeal ETC., as there is about
$13 worth of fertilizers contained
in one ton of bran it is easily seen
how the western fertility is annual
ly carried eastward. What will
be the result in the future when
the main elements are carried be-

FIRESTONE TIRES
Bennett. Sahagan. Wolters, and Gran
dali Praise Them After Leading
Racers In West,

When Gottleib Daimler invented the
first practical motor driven bicycle in
1885. the pioneer of the present day
motorcycle, he little dreamed of the
future possibilities wrapped up in his
mechanical steed.
Let US imagine him astride one of
the highly-developed ancestors of his
early masterpiece taking part in the
greatest motorcycle race in history,
which opened tho eyes Of motorcycle
race fans in California May 80 and
81.
Imagine him following in the wake
Of Wells Bennett, winner of the race,
and travelling at terrific speed, out of
Los Angeles and away over six or
eight mountain ranges, through $50
miles of desert aaId along the edge
of the terrible Death Valley. over
some of the toughest country the race
promoters could find, and, after cir
ling in a gigantic figure eight and
covering total distance Of over 500
miles. to pull into Los Angeles again,
weary but happy, having accomplish
ed feat never before known in the
history of motorcycling.
Imagine him gazing With wonder
upon tho pneumatic tires which has
done as much to develop the motor
cycle to Its present day efficiency as
any otner factor In It's construction.
Wells Bennett, winner of the race,
as well as L. Sahagan, who won sec
ond honors in this race, laid much
stress upon the wonderful endurance
OF their Firestone tires as factors II,
earning them tie laurels of victory.
Neither Bennett nor Sahagan expe-
rienced any tire trouble, although,
surprising as 1t ray seem. the rear
tire used by Bennett was used by
Otto Walker on April at Venice, Cal,
helping him to win the 300-mile VIC
tory.
While this event was taking place
in Southern California. another race
of intense interest was being witness
ed by tremendous crowds at Phoenix,
Ariz. This race held on May 81 was
being reeled off at terrible speed on
a one-mile track. covering a total
distance Of ZOO miles. Joe VOTERS. on
Harley Davidson, won first honors,
after finishing the entire 200 miles in
Z hours. Z minutes and % seconds,
being an average of about 81 miles
per hour. He, as well as Harry Gran
dali. who was a close second, used
Firestone motorcycle tires. Neither
had any tire trouble. although the
rear tire used by wolters was also
used In the 3O0-mile race ut Venice.

AUTO TOURING

Pouring In.

America is already feeling the ef-

The figures up to June / have reacn-
ed volume without precedent in any
previous years records. This infor-
nation comes from the national clear

Just as straws show the direction

One of these that has become rather

INFORMATION between the East and the
West on the part of those who have
planned to make the trip with sons
and daughters who are attending tho
various preparatory schools and col
leges in the East. Heretofore, the
home going of the students has been
by train. but this year the spirit of
touring has so increased that it has
brought about a desire and fulfllment
to make the trip by automobile.
Many Requests for Data.
Another point showing the increas-
ing interest in more general touring
are the requests for data through sec
tons that have formerly had but lit =
tie attention. Many of these inquiries
come from those who previously con-
fined their summer touring to III,
northeast section of the country, but
are now looking for variants that
they may become equally familiar with
other sections famed in colonial and
subsequent history.
Some of this area is today travel
able but even after the roads have
become settled, during the summer,
there remain many miles which must
be put in better condition before tour
ing can become a really definite prop
osition.
Much road building has been done
and il must be said for the various
authorities that great deal more is
now planned and will be carried out
this year. One of these embraces a
circuit in Virginia that will take in
most of the renowned battle fields of
the civil war that heretofore were
practically isolated from the tourist

WAVERLEY ELECTRICS
ON SOCIABILlTY JAUNT
Cars in indianapolis Go Forty Miles
Over Country Roads Without
Single Accident.

For a forty-mil run in the country,
would you choose an electric?
1t may seem incredible yet more
than score of sane and sensible peo-
pie dwelling in indianapolis did that
very thing the other day and lived
to teal the tale.
What is more, they are not ashamed
to admit it. Some of them even de-
clare they will do the same thing
again, when it pleases them, and deny
there was anything eccentric about
their act.
Half a score of silent waverly cleo
tries. driven by their owners, gather
ed Saturday afternoon in front of the
Waverley salesroom on Meridian
street. and then and there faced the
camera before starting on their I'M
heard of expedition.
The goal of the expedition was
Mooresville. thriving little city
some twenty miles southwest of the
Hoosier capital and the idea of il
originated with the Waverley man.
agement as part of their new policy
of educating Waverley owners to
make wider and more general use of
their cars.
Besides the photograph at the start
one was taken from the midst of a
wheat field on the open road and
another in front of McCracken's
Hotel at Mooresville where the entire
party were entertained as dinner
guests of the Waverley company. The
home-cooked and wholesome country
meal was relished by all, for their
appetites had gained the usual zest
that comes with fresh air and exer-
else.
The use of electrics on country
roads has been restricted by a GER
tain timidity on the part of owners
who have accepted the designation of
the electric as town car and re-
garded it as an actual Limitation of
It's usefulness to city streets.
For this reason the new Waverley
management has inaugurated a series
of soc!ability runs to various popular
motorists resorts within easy reacn
of Indianapolis. the purpose being to
teach Waverley owners how much
pleasure and practical usefulness of
their cars they are missing when they
conflne its use to city streets.
This first round trip of forty miles
was made without hitch in the
schedule. The cars were driven on
third speed "a comfortable jog of
about fifteen miles an hour No pro-
vision was made for charging on the
way and none was needed, as all the
cars returned with ample current in
their batteries for q much longer
trip.
Similar sociability runs will be
given by the Waverley company each

BABY MOTOR
PERFORMS WELL
Little Maxwell Racers Beat
Giants Best Marks In
Classic Event.
SERVE RACERS, TOURISTS
Modern Ideas of Efficiency Are En-
phasized- Demonstrated
by This Machine.

indianapolis. June 5.-Americen auto
mobile engineers are unquestionably
making great progress in the general eff
fort to design cars Of greater efficiency
and which will make one gallon of gaso-
line do work which has formerly re-
quired two.
1t was demonstrated beyond doubt in
the fifth International sweepstakes raced
here on Memorial Day. when cars small
er than any which had before competed
in the famous JOO-mile classic showed
ability both to outbrush the big. cum
bersome racers of the past era. and to
stand up and go through with far great
er consistency and tire economy.
Experts POINT. as an example, to the
case OF the baby MaxwelIs which, though
rating at but IS horsepower. tore through
the straights at faster than 100 miles per
hour and repeatedly. in prolonged bursts,
averaged better than ninety miles.
The Maxwell driven by Carlson and
Hughes averaged 1886 miles per hour for
the entire 500 miles, a performance which
would have won any of the Indianapolis
classics prior to the race of last year.
This figure surpassed both the famous
marks of Dawson. the 1872 winner, and
Goux. who won the event of 1918. Goux
and Dawson both drove cars immensely
heavier and with motors Of virtually
double the horsepower rating, according
to formula.
That these little cars will furnish fur
Their startling performances is admitted
without argument. The Indianapolis
event was the first in which the little
Maxwells had taken part, and no race
car is supposed to approach closely its
maximum speed or reliability in such
circumstances.
('hicapo u-b,r1 -. ~
Carlson and Rickenbacher are both en-
tered to race over the 50O-mile route on
June 10. it Is confidently predicted that
they will be even faster than in their
first appearance, though in this virgin

and touring cars many ideas from his

For years the Maxwell Motor Company
has been building regular stock cars of
light weight and with small bore, high
speed motors. thereby giving the utmost
efficiency at the lowest possible upkeep
cost And while embodying lightweight
construction, the quality of materials is
such as to make the Maxwell cars the
