LIGHT TROUBLES.

When starts and stops are frequent
and the lights used at night even for
three hours. the battery is required to
supply great deal of current, and if
the system is not watched. the battery
may be kept in an undercharged con-
dition Make it point to test the
battery electrolyte every week for
specific gravity using a hydrometer
for this. In some cases the owner
does little driving during the day
and much at night and starts and
stops perhaps dozen times. In such
q case IL would be an excellent plan
10 have the battery charged from an
outside source il it is found the gen
orator capacity is not sufficient for
the drain.

WHAT ABOUT WHEAT?

While wheat may be profitable money crop on some farms it is not
 wise in the judgment of the EXten- .sion forces of the Arkansas Agricul- .tural College and the l.. s. Depart .ment of Agriculture for the average man on the small farm to think of it las money crop Three or four acres Ito be cut with a mower and theshed .out on a floor with horses or with .Halis is one proposition while a large .acreage requiring drills. reapers and .threshers Is entirely different. Every farm owner can afford to TOW a few Iacres for flour and for straw. If
 larger acreage is to be attempted the question of harvesting and threshing must be considered The cotton far mer usually has idle time for men and teams in the late summur for prepar- ling the seed bed when-otherwise teams land men would not be employed. The cutting will come at busy time of the year but that does not take long and the threshing can be done in August, time when other farm lab
 or IS not pressing. Farmers should realize that wheat has many enemies rust. smut, chinch bug, Hessian fly, hail and green bugs. It will not pay
 on a poor soil. It may be seeded in lcorn in late September after the first rains or after peas planted after oats

 seed wheat. A field of corn and peas

 to be plowed by September 20 and seeded October 20 Manure will pay if plowed under before seeding to

WORK FOR A DRY STATE.

A Trades Unionists' Anti-Booze League has been organized in Ne braska. It will work for the dry amendment to be voted on by the peo- pie of the state next November. At tempts to show that union labor as whole is supporting the liquor inter- ests will not be permitted to go un- challenged" says the president of the league. Mir. l. J. Copenharve of the Omaha Typographical union.
 The league has issued the following statement:
 press upon the general public that cer- tain labor organizations and Trade Union Liberty Leagues, controlled by the liquor interests, do not voice the true sentiment of the labor organiza- tions of Nebraska in their effort to make 1t appear that the laboring class is subservient to the whims of said liquor industry.
 Tt shall be the aim of this organ ization to publicly disclaim in every way possible that union labor of Ne braska looks upon the use of liquor as an aid to It's welfare and advance ment, but rather that the use of in- toxicating liquor is the greatest handi- cap union labor has to contend with in making it's fight for justice for the working class.
 The members of this league resent place union labor of Nebraska in the attitude Of supporting an industry that never has and never can aid the work ingman in his struggle for better con- ditions for himself and family"

CIRCUS MANS VIEW.

The plans for booking the big cir cuses hereafter is to play only dry towns. with the exception of the large cities The manager of the Hagen beck-Wallace circus says, as reported by William Allen White in the Empo- ria (Kan) Gazette We do better business in dry town than in a wet one. We noticed the difference in Missouri: always the days receipts were better in town that had gone dry under local option than in town where saloons were open. And busi- ness is better in Kansas than it was in Missouri.
 "I have seen this whole game up and down and backward and across, and 1 want to tell you that all this talk about a town needing saloons or gam bling houses to stimulate business is the purest bunk"
 Here is an amusement mans point of view on booze" comments Mir White. "0nce again the verdict is thumbs down for John Barleycorn. Poor old John! He cant mix with re ligion or politics or business. If he cant mix with the amusements where does he get in? And the answer is that national prohibition is just around the corner"

Making Grass Rugs.

In the Wisconsin and Minnesota
marshes is found vegetable growth
known to botanists as ''carix striota.
The common term applied to this pro-
duct is ''wire grass. Like many other
things that nature has provided wire
grass was formerly supposed to be of
little value; but the mistake of such
viewpoint has been demonstrated by
the Deltox Rug company at Oshkosh.
Mr.. Emil Steiger is at the head of this
concern, and his rugs are carpeting the
offices of the United States govern
ment at Washington, the big office
buildings of New York, Chicago, Mil
waukee and elsewhere, and besides are
being used in homes, bungalows and
summer residences and hotels through
out the country. The agricultural de-
partment at Washington has prepared
some important bulletins regarding the
use and durability of wire grass, from
which we are to learn that the product
is long, slender, jointless vegetable
growth, springing from the ground in a
single stem, without branches or joints
or additional leaves. The fibre is round
and incased in a hard outer casing, and
somewhat resembles broom corn minus
the branches and seeds. 1t is different
from grass in that it consists almost
entirely of. fibre, and when the outside
cuticle is broken or crushed, it becomes
tough and flexible. Ordinary grass, on
the other hand, will break and is of no
use IN the manufacture of rugs. The
| land on which it is grown possessed but
small value until the harvest of the rug
crops was begun by Mr.. Steiger and
Others The industry is among the in
teresting new activities of the middle
west.

Spontaneous Combustion.

During the last fiscal year 127 fires
were reported to the state fire mar
shal's department due to spontaneous
combustion, or more properly speaking,
spontaneous ignition, causing damage
of 1922, 300. No doubt, In addition
to these many other fires reported as
of unknown" origin, were in fact
caused by spontaneous ignition.
Spontaneous combustion is the ig-
nition of a substance or body by inter-
nal develoment of heat without the
action of any external flame.
1t often takes place in waste, rags,
cloths, cotton, sawdust and other SUBJ
stances partially saturated with oil.
Vegetable and animal oils especially
absorb oxygen very rapidly and thus
sufficient heat is produced to set the
oily substance on fire.
These fires occur at night as well as
in day time They often develop in
cellars, attics, storage closets, ware
houses, shops and out-of-the-Way places
not under constant observation, and
spread rapidly fed by the highly COM
bustible materials. Often such fires
are not detected until they have had a
good start, and so are hard to control
and cause much damage.
New schools, churches, factories and
residences and others undergoing re-
pairs or renovation are often prey to
the flames because some painter or
perhaps the good housewife has left
some oily rags or mop around.
Linseed oil is the worst of all oils
causing spontaneous ignition, and cot
ton seed oil comes next, perhaps.

The prevention of these fires is quite
simple and inexpensive. Care and good
housekeeping will make them almost
impossible.
Oily waste and rags and oily or paint
cloths in use during the day should be
kept in a standard, self-closing, metal
waste can. At the close of the day.
these should be burned up or otherwise
destroyed.
Many fires in barns are caused by
improperly cured and heated hay or
grain. Aside from proper curing and
drying, perfect ventilation to carry
away this heat is the best preventative
of such fires.
