flocks where he could have bought good
common stock for fifty to sixty cents
apiece, and went to party who had pure
bred poultry, and paid double the price.
The same thing is happening now in
regard to eggs. Common eggs are worth
twenty-five cents a dozen at the stores.
Good eggs from well bred, or pure bred
hens, cap be sold from forty five cents to
sixty cents and seventy-fve cents dozen
and even more for setting. We have had
plenty Of calls Of this kind, and more than
we could supply. This is not always true,
but this year poultry is scarce on account
of high priced feed, for one thing.
Again, I find that some people have
hens, but their eggs are not fertile, so they
miss some good sales on this account I
know one man who has 300 Cor nearly
that) hens, and only 100 of them with
ROSTERS. He had to turn down an order
for 500 or 900 eggs, or even more, because
he could not fill it with fertile eggs, at
double the market price, and more.

DEGENERATING EFFECT OF WAR
UPON BOYS

Juvenile crime and misdemeanor
have increased three and four fold, in
nearly all cities of Germany, since the war
began, according to reports. The absence
OF fathers at the front, the inability of
mothers to oversee the children, because
OF spending time away from home at work,
IN support of the family, and the in
creased amount Of spending money which
boys and girls have, because of employ
ment given them, as result of the war,
are named among the chief causes
The war, with it's accounts Of battles
and shooting, has also inspired boys with
the desire to have weapons Of their own.

WILL PREPARE
FOR Big SHOW
Automobile Dealers to Hold Pa
cific Automobile Show at
Exposition Auditorium

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Nov. 25.--
San Francisco boosters for the Pa.
cific Automobile Show. which will be
held at the Exposition Auditorium,
February 10 to Is, invaded Los An
geles $50 strong this week, equipped
with the latest approved brand Of
noise-makers. The occasion was the
Vanderbilt race at Santa Monica on
Thursday, and the boosters made up
the special train delegation which de-
parted from San Francisco via the
Santa Fe Wednesday afternoon.
Horns and shakers blaZoned with
sweeping invitation to Southern
California to visit the Pacific Auto
mobile Show, were carried by the
men, and made distinct hit at the
track.
Southern California will be present
in large numbers for the automobile
show. Practically every dealer has
announced his intention of being
among these present at the exhibit.
From the East continues to come
the cheering word that large delega-
tons OF factory men will come West
from Chicago on the Auto Show Spe-
cial which viii depart for San Fran
cisco February 5. F. o. Renstrom,
Northern California distributor for
Grant and Jeffrey cars. received word
from the Grant factory that the San
Francisco show is eliciting much
comment among Cleveland automobile
men, and great things are expected
of the Pacific coast this year. They
also announce that they will make
every attempt to send representa-
tiyes to San Francisco for the show.
The Chicago special will carry
more than 100 Fasteners to San
Francisco, if the advance reservations
may be taken as any criterion. Not
only the factory men. but many of the
Pacific coast dealers who will attend
the New York and Chicago shows, are
planning to come West on the auto
mobile train.
The demand fer accessory space,
which was placed on sale week ago,
is heavy, and indications are that be-
fore the end of next week all of the
1000 feet which will be devoted to
accessories will be under contract.
The accessory booths will be arrang-
ed in the wide corridors of the sec
ond floor.

To the uninitiated the tires on an
aeroplane may seem to be of minor
importance when compared with the
engine or the planes. But the aviator
counts them among the most import
ant parts of his equipment. They help
hin to get up high speed before leav-
ing the ground and aid UNNECESSARILY
in landing.
Oftentimes an aviator in making a
landing will hit the ground while go
ing 20 or 80 miles an hour. The tires
provide cushion to resist the lateral
thrusts that occur VIXEN the machine
side-swipes the earth in landing. The
Curtis aeroplane used by Victor Carl
strom, the daring aviator who last
week made a flight from Chicago to
New York. was equipped with Good
year aeroplane tires.

Three Out of Four Winners in

Goodyear cord tires added TO their
already numerous laurels at the In
ternational Grand Prize race at Santa

winning tirst, second and third places.
The Santa Monica race differs
somewhat from the other important
races sanctioned by the American
Automobile Association in that the
course covers distance of 8.4 miles.
Instead of the one-mile and two-miIe
courses over which the other races are
run. The length of the race is 403 IA
miles, requiring As laps to complete.
The grand prize OF the Automobile

ner OF this race was won by Johnny
Aitken, who went out of the running
In the first lap, but came back in the
twenty-first lap as relief, driver for his
teammate, Howard Wilcox. Wilcox
had jumped into the lead when Dario
Resta's car developed trouble, fore
ing him to retire from the race in the
eighteenth lap.
Athens share OF the prize money
was $4,000. His time was hours, %
minutes, q seconds, III average Of
$3.50 miles an hour-10 miles an hour
faster shan the best previous time for
the Santa Monica race. Earl Cooper

In race where sucE terrific speeds
are developed the performance OF
the tires is Of prime Importance. The
slightest wayering In the performance
Of their duty may cost the driver

So racing drivers use. the greatest
care in selecting their tires, examin-
ing them infinitely before allowing the
pit men to place then~on the wheels
Of the racing car. That so many of
the prominent drivers select Goodyear
cord TRES as their equipment speaks
volumes for their speed and safety
qualities.
