1t is natural, when one studies the
situation, that the farmers of the coun-
try should now be buying half the au-
tomobiles that are on the market
Aside from the fact that the farmer has
had year of exceptional prosperity
and that the distances he travels make
some vehicle an economic necessity, he
is in better position to keep an auto
at minimum expense than is the city
man. In the first place, he is likely to
be something of a machinist and will
do good deal of his own repair work.

ing)
The time has come when the motor
car is a necessity instead of luxury,
and the majority of farmers have them.
It looks as though the pleasure car is q
necessity, even to the man who has to
borrow money to pay for it.
Some have bought pleasure cars and
used them as pleasure cars and spent
their time riding around in them, when
they should have been at work in the
field. In many cases horses and cat
tie and the raising Of poultry have been
neglected by hurrying to get the chores
done and not doing them as they
should be done, just for the sake of a
pleasure ride.
Many have felt the effects at the
end of the year and wondered where
the money had gone, but since they
have owned car, they have made two
and three times as many trips to town
as they did with the horse, and, nat
urally they have spent more money.

''skYLINE" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington skyline" method of log.
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method of
dragging out logs from the forest by
donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan.
les Magazine. The skyline plan is to
run a cable through blocks or pulleys
suspended at great height on giant
trees, so as to form sort of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other obstruc-
lions to the rollway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
De sEynns Ave as
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
Is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up;
it is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means of "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air q log can, of
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground.

and, for the first time, turned to look
at her Her brilliant eyes melted into
the light blue, round eyes of Santos.
Eyes, it is" he said simply.
"Are we going still higher?" she
asked in a breathless tone.
Santos looked hurriedly at the aero
graph and saw that it showed $4,000
feet. In his nervousness he had gone
higher than he intended, SO he hastily
changed the direction. 1t was bitterly
cold for short time, but the wings
soon generated enough heat to warm
the cabin; in fact, it was too warm,
and Santos opened the air condenser
that let in the fresh, pure air Of that
altitude, where 1t is clear and intoxi-

"How much | admire men like you,

only short time until the cushions are
torn and covered with dirt, 50 that 1t
is not a desirable place to ride. In
such cases, don't you think it would
have been more profitable to have
bought q motortruck in place Of
pleasure car? Possibly you can af-
ford both a pleasure car and a motor
truck. Many of the farmers, such as
dairymen, fruit and vegetable growers,
and stock farmers have found the
motortruck profitable investment. 1t
enables them to carry their produce
greater distances to large cities where
they can receive more for it than in
smaller towns and in much less time
than with horses.
1t will only be short time until
the motortruck will succeed the horse
and wagon, just as the pleasure car
has succeeded the horse and carriage.

said as she left.

CASTING the Net.


Six months had passed. The cap
tured army and navy had been sent
home to Europe and disarmed. The
various monarchs had ragged at the
Count Won Werdenstein for acceding
to the terms of the agreement submit
ted by the United Republics, but the
people were happy
The United Republics of America
offered large tract of land in the in
terror of Brazil, Venezuela and Co.
lombia for emigration purposes. Drain
age and irrigation had been so per-
fected that those great plateaus were
habitable and supplied the richest ag-
ricultural districts in the world.
A meeting had been called to for
mulate the rules of peace. Napoleon,
with full sanction and authorization Of
Congress, made short work Of the
agreement with the orientals. He ap-
peared above the Island Empire and
announced the ultimatum; that he
would blow up every man-of-war I'M
less they were turned over to the Unit
ed Republics Of America peacefully,
In which case the latter would pay one
third the value of the monsters. The
orientals had been prepared for this
action and agreed to the terms. China,
the young Oriental Republic, followed
Japan's example.
Christmas was nearing. The war
vessels of the world were harbored
in the ports Of the Americans and
turned over to the Navy Department,
with the command that they be used
for commercial purposes.
The disarmament went on all over
the world. When Christmas day
dawned, peace reigned. Not Christian
peace, but peace begotten of fear.
The oath of December found the
American Continent open to everyone.
Napoleon Edison, on account of the
service he had rendered his country,
had been appointed president of the
world peace committee.
His mothers illness had caused him
anxiety, He spoke of it to Astra one
day while the Countess Rosiny was
near The beautiful ROSETTA had I'M
dergone a great change. She was be
iieved to be thorough American IN
spirit, and had thus gained the con-
f1dence of the people surrounding
Astra.
She begged Astra and Napoleon to
let her go and comfort Mrs. Edison.
They consented, glad to have her go
to the Island of Ciryne, even though
the secrets of the aerodromone we're
there, to be companion to Mrs. Edi-
son.
Astra said 1t would be very lonely
without her, and Napoleon solved the
problem in way that pleased the
Countess the most
