just a few words on the high
cost of living. While the Euro
pean war is responsible in part
for high prices and high wages,
we are just coming to the time
or are beginning to feel the effect
of the young people leaving the
farm. They have left, but the
older ones have been able to keep
the old farm going. Now the
older folks are quitting. Can
you blame the boys for going
from the farm to public works
where many of them are making
as much per hour as they could
get per day on the farm? No;
this is not putting it too strong.
All this cry for an embargo on
foodstuff and boycotts, only tends
to hasten their exodus from the
farm. While the farmer may be
too much of a bone-head to or
ganize, yet the other party by
their attitudes are driving the
farmer from the farm to become
a competitor in the Steel plant,
the rolling mill the mine etc, and
thus bringing about just such
conditions as farmers are trying
to avoid, and about what they
could avoid by organizing.
Now, if there was sound legis-
lation compelling the farmer boys
to stay on the farm, and work
s hours in the a. m. and 8 in tn e
p. m, and make those two old
blades of grass grow" for the
price of one then, perhaps, the
matter would be solved. Just
make it worth while, and we'll
make the two blades grow.

FLOOD CONTROL IS
GIVEN ATTENTION
State Water Supply Commits
sion Closely Watching Con-
dition of Streams

The State Water Supply Commission
in a report issued to-day on floods as
part of its study of the water re-
impression that destructive floods are
increasing in frequency and intensity is
erroneous. In nearly all localities
where periodic flood damage is oc-
casioned, says the report, the original
conditions have been aggravated by
the recklessness with which bridge
abutments and piers which have beer
allowed to encroach upon channels, en-
bankments have been built and fills
made.
The situation in the State is declar-
ed to be so complex that but little has
been accomplished in the State toward
lessening flood damage and there is
need for comprehensive treatment OF
streams on a statewide plan backed
viding flood control works for localities
which suffer only during extraordinary
floods at long intervals must depend
in large measure on considerations
says the report. Flood conditions may
be ameliorated by channel improve
ments. dikes or other methods. singly
or in combination"
Among the suggestions made to re-
lieve conditions causing damage by
floods are for municipalities to period
ically cleaen stream channels within
their corporate limits and prevent de-
posits; encouraging removal of prop
erty from flood zones and concentrated
action with corporations in building
reservoirs, channel improvements and
other flood control works; establish
ment of encroachment lines in densely
populated districts and report to State
authorities on conditions from year to
year so that correction can be made
where dangerous situations exist.

Harroun Car and Its
Mechanical Merits

The motor of the new Harroun has
overhead valves and compact com
bustion chambers machined all over,
with spark plugs in the center. lgni-
ton is by high tension magnetic and
the carburetor is of type developed
especially for this engine. Cooling
water is gravity circulated Ohermo
siphon). Each main bearing has a
separate fabrication feed, constant
circulation being maintained, cylin-
ders get their oil by splash. The gaso-
line tank housed in the cowl, holds
IL gallons. From tests already made
1t is expected that this amount of
fuel will be sufficient for approXi-
mately 800 miles of ordinary run
ming.
Starting and lighting are affected
through a two-unit 12-volt system !;
the generator is driven from the tim
ing gears and the starting motor
drives through teeth in the fiywheel
rim. The storage battery is carried
under the front seat. The electric
headlights are fitted with DINNERS.
Ihe clutch Is cone running in oil
and faced with an asbestos fabric; 1t
is housed with the gearset and the
unit is bolted to the crankcase. The
gear ratio on high is 4 to 1. In the
rear axle full floating construction is
employed; the live shafts are detach-
able through the hubs. Differential
and ring gears are removable through
large opening in the rear of the
axle housing. Roller bearings are
used in the differential, and the
wheels run on annular ball bearings
The lowest part of the car is the
middle of the front axle, which gives
the car a road clearance of ii inches
Unusual depth is found in the side
frames, which measure inches ver-
ticaily. Front springs are the usual
semi-elliptics and rear springs canti-
levers. Foot brakes for service, are
external contracting and the emer-
gency brakes are internal expanding.
Tenders are true oval and unusually
good looking. and are rigidly mount
ed; running boards are of pressed
steel covered with linoleum.
Equipment has been provided that
is thoroughly in keeping with the car
itself. The top, of one-man type,
has self-contained curtains and a

tire pump supplied is a double-action
foot pump, and there is a powerful

Peerless Beauty Lines
Result of Much Study

In any line of artistic endeaVor il
has been said that everything is n
compromise; the ideal or aim of the
artist must be made to conform with
other conditions. and this applies to
the beautiful models of automobiles
now being shown at the big show, as
well as to painted masterpieces. The
face of Madonna would not appear
TO good advantage, no matter how
well 1T were portrayed, were it not ac-
companied by a correct background.
A low, rakiSh chassis equipped with
body of the Victoria type would be
incongruous, in spite of any high
ideals of its designer. = - ~
TO become acquainted with the ar
tistic work in connection with the
building of q motor car of beauty and
distinction, one should make q trip
through such a factory as that of the
Peerless Motor Car Company, of
Cleveland, Ohio. long leader in
beautiful automobile offerings. There
he would discover the almost count
less items of labor and skill which
go into the making of that type of
car.
1t is likely that he would first be
attracted by the models built in clay
The average layman has very little
use for intricate lines of blue print
he wants to see something more sub
stantial. After observing the clay
llOuelS ne Will ma similar mOQeIS
constructed on boards, but these are
by no means the finished product
They are only samples of what may
be expected when the body lines are
finally determined upon. There is
much tearing down and remodelling
before the perfect car is produced.
And therein lies the secret of ar
tistic compromise. which furnishes
the greatest reward for the efforts ex-
pended. The body model in itself may
be all that the most discriminating
buyer could wish, but that body must
be lifted into chassis, must be of
sufficient size and stability TO warrant
the carrying of that style of body. 1t
happens not frequently that the
chassis and body do not harmonize
and that the alteration of the chassis
to conform with the body would de-
stroy the efficiency of the product.
In that case the designer must COM
promise on the body lines. And the
most happy compromise furnishes the
most satisfactory results

GUARDSMEN GET
STATE WARNING
Informed Just What Would Be
Required of Them in the
Preparedness Plans

General orders have been issued
from National Guard headquarters
transmitting circular from the bu-
reau of military affairs of the War
Department in which attention is
called to the fact that "All the pres
ent organizations of the Pennsylvania
National Guard will be subject to call
to federal service" in case a call is
issued by the President. In the event
that weather conditions make it i'm
practicable to mobilize at Mt. Gretna
mobilization points will be designated
for organizations when call is made,
while recruiting will be made the sub
Ject of general order should a call
be made
The National Guard order says that
no man who does not conform to
united states army standards will be
enlisted and no men with dependent
families will be accepted.
In the event of a call officers in the
National Guard reserve will report by
telegraph to Governors Island and to
the Adjutant General of the State
While enlisted men in the reserve will
be assigned to organizations of the
arm or corps from which he was fur
loughed.

OVERLAND SHOPS
SHOW EFFICIENCY
Quantity Production Necessi.
tateS Inventions of Marvel
Gus Machinery

The factories of the Willys-Over.
land Company, of Toledo, Ohio, read.
lily show why it is to-day possible tc
could be purchased several years ago
in spite of the advance in prices OF
all material.
Machinery of titanic proportions
now cuts, pounds, drills and rivets au-
tomobiles with marvellous accuracy
and speed, replacing the slower and
more tedious hand work of other
years.
On all sides the spectator at the
Willys-Overland factories is flanked
by mechanical units that have sprung
into being since the public's discovery
of the numerous uses to which an
automobile can be adapted.
He sees big machines that stamp
out pair of side rails from cold
steel in three seconds, as though they
were made of papier mache; he sees
huge mechanisms that, at the push of
lever, cut and press into shape steel
radiator. shells. tenders, drip pans, in
astounding quantities.
In the heavy machine departm ent
is an automoton grinding and boring
away with a skill and precision sur
passing that of the most ingenious
artisan, and with the speed of score
OF Sucn WorKmen. An output OF the
VastnesS of the illys-Overland Conf
pany has made imperative this inven-
ton.
This machine removes twenty-four
pounds of cast iron in twenty different
operations on a f1ywheel, in less than
fifteen minutes.
The workman sits in the rough fly
Wheel which is held in place by air
pressure, and pulls lever. The ma
chine automatically adjusts nine sets
of tools in turn. Every tool is fixed
so that there can be no mistake in
the trimming of the flywheels. Each
one is cut accurately to the very last
scraping.
One workman can feed three such
machines. In the earlier days of the
industry these same operations were
performed by half a dozen machines
in several hours time.
Another mechanical revelation
caused by quantity production is a
multiple spindle drill that, at one op-
Grafton, bores in their proper places
eighty-one holes in an aluminium
crank case.
At every turn are evidences of the
strides made by mechanical equip
ment in an effort to keep pace with a
demand that requires in 1917 more
than 100000 cars, already contracted
for by WHY'S Overland dealers oil
over the world.

slNkER TUNNEL.
A Big Owyhee County Enterprise Is
Backed by Former Wallace Man.

Perhaps the most important MINING
enterprise in Owyhee county In re-
cent years was the driving of what Is
known as the Sinker tunnel, in the
Silver City district which has opened
at great depth the famous Golden
Chariot" vein, which made great
record of production in the early days.
The property has been idle for many
years. owing to the heavy expense OF
handling the water This has now
been overcome by driving the Sinker
tunnel. and it is predicted that the old
mine will soon more than duplicate its
former record This big enterprise
was made successful largely through
the efforts of Jacob Loc<man. for
many years resident of this city ana
where he still has large property in
terests. Speaking of the enterprise a
Nampa correspondent says:
development activity ON an extern
sive scale will now feature the work
at the famous .Sinker Tunnel mines In
Owyhee county, whose proprietors,
local men, recently struck the historic
Golden Chariot vein, which yielded
such fabulous wealth in the early
mining days Of the celebrated Silver
City district A special order of drills
reached this city recently and mas
been rushed to the mining claims.
Much interest is manifested in the
trend of development at the mines and
the consensus Of opinion in the busi-
ness circles of this city is that the de-
velopment of these mines Is destined
to bring the Silver City district into
it's own again and make it one OF the
leading mining belts in the world
