Lesser Features; Greater
Ease and Convenience.

How much tho arrangement of
lesser features can be made to con-
tribute to the greater comfort of
those driving and riding in motor
car is shown in the Cadillac Eight.
These details are sometimes cOnsid-
cred to be Of minor Importance. Yet
in several instances the Cadillac de-
slgners. by intelligently handling
these features, have made them real
elements in adding to the convent
ence of driver and passengers.
Auxiliary tonneau seats in tho Cad

solutely no space when not in actual

entirely into pockets in the back Of
the front seat. which presents a
smooth surface. Entrance and exit

The records show that the first au-

time on the record was lowered from

The record Just made by the Buick
lowers the one Just noted above by

Nikrent, who is well known as n

had considerable reserve to draw on

TRACING ORIGIN OF WRITING

he has done, to communicate with
someone not present, to assert rights
over, things sby a. distinctive mark.
There arose. hence. knot signs, mes

Engraving q visible object on hard
substance and drawing or painting
marks which could be identified date
from the earliest times to which the
history of. man can be traced. Il is
not possible to state the precise orr
gin Of what we know as actual writ
ing or to name the source of the first
alphabet" The Egyptian system of
writing is perhaps the oldest of

ficting theories on the entire subject.

SELECTING A BREEDING sow
Some Good Points 60 Look For In Pick
Ing Out Good PIG Produeer-Look
for Usefulness.

In selecting breeding sows. the pfan-
cipal thing is to get good swine. It
pays q beginner better TO invest in two
or three good sows than In much
larger number of ordinary ones. This
is the advice that the live stock ex-
perts of Clemson college are giving
South Carolina farmers who ask for
pointers on making q start with hogs.
In selecting SOW there are certain
sex characteristics to look for. She
should not have any appearance Of
coarseness. The head should be light

omInous Phrase in PersIa.

The expression ito give q cup Of
coffee" has IN Persia q somewhat
ominous significance, due to the fact
that the coffee cup is a recognized me-
dunn for conveying poison. Some
years ago the governor Of Aspadana,
having long been at daggers drawn
with the chief Of q powerful mountain
tribe, determined in this way to put
an end to all trouble. He professed to
entertain q great degree of friendship
and esteem for the chieftain and in
vited him to visit him at his palace.
The chief unsuspiciously came accom-
panied by his two young sons. For q
week they were royalty entertained.
But at last one morning when the chief
came into his hosts presence he was
coldly received, and an attendant soon
stepped forward with q single cup
of coffee in his hand, which he of.
fered to the guest. The latter could
not fail to understand that he was
doomed. Preferring, however, steel to
poison, he declined the cup and was

dams from to IL inches thick will
give better results. Iron rods to give
weight must be used in reinforcing
the larger dams, but heavy wires will
do very well in the smaller ones. The
middle should. always be left lower

stone or brick apron at the bottom of
the gulley to prevent the falling water
from cutting into the soil and under

One of the advantages of travel Is
that if you keep at it long enough you
occasionally discover some Of the
things we all want to know. Now,
have not yet journeyed far enough to
be able to say where the old pins go,
but am in aposition to state authori-
tatively that Bergen is the paradise Of
the old-time hack. Do you remember
the hacks that used to stand in front
Of the old Kansas City Union depot?
The hacks that clattered frantically
past the junction, with "Wide-Awake"
screaming after their drivers to get
out of the way of the Ninth street
cable cars? Those self-same hacks
or their doubles-are ending their days
in Bergen, Norway. Some Of them
(alasu must have persisted misera-
bly," in the fire.
Some of the old drivers are in
Bergen, too, just as red-nosed and I'M
shaven and profane, and flourishing
the same sort of moth-eaten whips.
The rigors of the climate forbid plug
hats, so felt or fur is substituted. 9th
erwise, everything as of yore.
The rates are lower because the
wear and tear on the old shays is be-
ginning to tell, so the cabs in which
the leading citizens of Fredonia were
driven by a circuitous route from the
Union depot to the Blossom house at
a minimum rate of one dollar now
transport the Bergen tourist mile for
two jitneys. "The above rate" quote
from a guide book, refers to one-horse
cabs; for two-horse vehicles the charg.
es are 80 per cent higher"
