GREEN BUGS IN KANSAS.
They Are Causing Great Damage to
Oats and Wheat.

Southern Kansas farmers in districts
where green bugs have invaded the
fields and the oats have been ruined
are urged to starve out the pests by
pasturing. and subsequently plant
fields to feterita or Sudan grass.
L. L. Call, professor OF agronomy In
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
who has investigated conditions. re-
ports that the ravages by the insects
have been severe in Sumner, Harper,
to some extent in Cowley county and
in north central Oklahoma. Oats prac-
tically have been destroyed in the por-
ton of Oklahoma mentioned and In
ner county.
Wheat has been damaged, but not
destroyed. Even the corn has been
attacked and by sufficient number Of
bugs to ruin the crop. The insects
were found as far north as Salina, but
not in large enough numbers to cause
alarm. Serious infestation Is not ex-
pected TO become general In Kansas
unless dry weather should prevail.
Heavy rains in southern Kansas would
tend 10 destroy the bugs and benefit
the crops.

cultivation both ways is usually prac-
ticed until midsummer, when a cover
crop of crimson clover or some shall
lower roofing plant is sown to be turn
ed under the following spring. Some
times, however. other crops. such as
potatoes. carrots. beets, etc, which are
not tall, are grown between the rows
for one or perhaps two years. Wood
ashes, muriate Of potash, superphos-
pilates and ground bone are favorite
sources of potash and phosphoric acid.
With adequate tillage during the sum-
mer spring blowing may be avoided.
For market the fruit should never be
picked until after the dew is dried and
should be shipped to market in small
packages. Red raspberries are usually
marketed in pint baskets. The picking
of both kinds Of raspberries is gener-
ally done by hand.

ROLE WAS FORGED ON DADDY
Really Had No Desire to Act as Fa- ther to the Girl, but He Had
 Been ForestalIed.

The dowagers and chaperons whis- pered their surprise that so young and So pretty a girl should have devoted herself the whole evening to a man so much her senior. True he danced well enough and was known as a man of many millions. Still they had never thought Meta mercenary.
 Half way through the evening the couple disappeared onto balcony. The girl sat down and the man stood gaZ- ing down at her. Without the slight est warning he asked her to be his wife. He was widower, as she knew.
 .'I wanted to please you," she said, 'but did not expect this"
 Tt Is the unexpected that happens" he said with a smile.

Tire Care.

When you remove a tire to replace a tube always spread the inside of the casing with tire tale, the cost of which is 10 cents per can. This pre- vents the tube from sticking to the casing. If you have no tire tale. use graphite and spread it evenly over the tube or the inside of the casing. Do not use too much of either lubri- cant.
 If you have time graphite the rims occasionally so that the tire beads do not stick 10 them.
 If you use tire chains do not make them fit too tightly, for this may cause cutting of the tread.

 Border.
TESTS ARE MOST SEVERE
Long Lines Of Communication Main. tained Without Use of Raiiroads Problem ls Studied at the
 War College.

Another meeting was held at the War College in Washington to discuss plans for mobilization of troops and supplies in time of war. particularly so far as civilian organizations are concerned, and the following account of it was prepared by the Society of Automobile Engineers: Major Palmer F.. Pierce of the General Stan Corps, presided at the meeting, Lieut.. Col onel Chauncey B. Baker being pres ent to represent the quartermaster generals office. Representatives Of the Naval Consulting Board, the Ma tional Automobile Chamber of Com merce. the Society of Automobile Engineers, and the American AutomO- bile Association committees were in attendance.
 Information is being collected as to just how many government depart ments need a large motor-truck equip ment in order that suitable specifica- tions can be developed for each type of truck required.
 It is agreed that the tests to which
  near the Mexican border are the most severe that have been had in any part of the world. The conditions of service have been abnormal in that the lines of communication have been maintained without the use of railroads. The performance of some of the trucks has been wonderfully good, but there is room for further beneficial specification in various re- spects. The necessary engineering study is now being made, many of the Society of Automobile Engineers members going to the Mexican border to view at first hand the unusual conditions of weather, sandy grit, and alkali encountered.
 The development of suitable tractor types of motor vehicles will also be given attention.
 Regulations are being prepared for use in the organization of officers and enlisted men of the Reserve Corps recently authorized by act of con- gress. There will be a mobilization of the reserve organizations of a fortnight's duration each year. Re serve Corps officers will be appointed in sufficient number to make possible the assembly of troops at local points and transporting them to strategical points.
 Ex-PIesident Wilson of the Ameri- can Automobile Association announc- ed that over 90 per cent of the mil lions of American pleasure-car owners would very willingly and quickly tender the use of their vehicles un- der any suitable plan of mobilization. This will make possible immediate transportation preparedness. which would be wanted in case of emerg- ency. It is stated reliably that in | many districts large bodies of troops can be mobilized by motor cars be- fore the railroads operating in the re- spective districts can get sufficient cars ready to transport them. Demon strations. which have been made re- peatedly. show that troops can be moved by automobile faster than by train.
 Suitable types of armored cars for use by the Ordnance Department, as well as types meeting the needs of the engineers, the signal and the ar tillery corps, will be developed.

IS FALSE ECONOMY
SAVING IN Oii CAUSES WEAR iI
 WORKING PARTS.
Freshness of the Lubricant 10 of Much Greater Importance Than the
 Quantity.

The car owner who takes pride in re- lating how he has covered from 1000 10 2,0O0 miles on a gallon of motor oil Is practicing false economy, accord ing to an expert.
 The great mileage record that is often boasted of may sound impress sive, but while such an owner is saving is setting up wear in the working parts of the motor which will event. ually cost more to replace than any amount of oil that would have been
 used" he says.
 Motor oil, no matter how good, loses its lubricating qualities after be- ing in the motor a certain length of time, especially in hot weather. It disintegrates, leaving only a remnant of what was once good motor oil, and 1t has no value as far as fabrication is concerned.
 ''The wise owner will drain all the oil from the crank case of his car every 1000 miles of service, regard | less of how much oil is still there at
 the time. He will then replace it with good. fresh, clean oil. In doing
 this regularly he will prolong the life | of his car indefinitely.
 Another place where lack of lubrica- tiOn can do damage Is in the rear axel and transmission. For here the ac-
 ton of the gears has the same effect | upon grease as the action of working | parts of the motor has on oil. IL robs ! the grease in time of the lubricatiug ' qualities by the process of disintegra- | iOn.
 If the owner will take care in add
 ing fresh grease every 1900 miles-it | is not necessary to replace the supply which is in the rear axle and trans
 mission at the time-he will save many a dollar in the long run.
 Tt is well enough recognized that | fabrication is the life of a motor car. | It is fact, too, that many owners
 keep enough oil and grease in their | cars. But the freshness of the lubri- | cant requires attention and is of great
 CT importance than the quantity. We
 impress this point on car owners. Every dollar spent by the owner on proper fabrication saves ten dollars | in other expenses. aside from the an-
 noyances of poor operation and the de | lays due to trying to make q gallon of oil or few pounds of grease per
 form their functions when they become | 'pep-less' from too long service"
