TRACTOR EFFICIENCY.
IN FOOD PRODUCTION
Agricultural Machine Has Ad-
vanced English Home Pro-
duction 10 Per Cent.

Whatever may De rne engineering
arguments concerning the detail of
tractor construction, the Efficiency OF
the tractor as an agricultural ma
chine has been proven by the fact that
England has increased her home pro-
duction OF food uy 10 per cent solely
by the additional cultivation obtained
from the use of tractors" says the
GATOR of Automotive Industries.
"It has been stated many times that
the tractor farming in England has
been only partially successful the ma
chimes have been constantly in
trouble; that IN eir operation has been
excessively costly. and that tho results
have often been disappointing. II.
however, the total food output has
been raised 10 per cent in one year

faction.
Most OF the troubles with the Brit
ism tractors seem tC have been due to
lack of intelligent drivers. Operating
a tractor Is generally accepted as be-
ing a real mans job. and apart from
direct service in the army there are
so many other war occupations OF
pressing Vital necessity in England
that IL is only here and there an effi-
Client tractor driver has been obtain
able. Tho type of man who knows IL
little bit about automobiles, but is not
generally capable of doing anything
really useful Of any kind seems to
have been called upon very largely.
Bows and women with no technical
knowledge have done their best. but
naturally II has not been very good
best. Only kerosene has been avail
able for fuel and the tractors which
England has had to use have been
earlier models than those now on the
American market and therefore less
adapted for heavy fuel.
"a number Of tractors which have
enabled this 10 per cent Increase in
British food supply is variously est'-
mated and no accurate figures have
been published. Probably there are
not more than two TO three thousand
tractors IN the whole country, possibly
not so many as this. Presumably
statistics will be forthcoming. In due
course since most of the additional
farm work has been handled directly
bv a government department."

Dcmuuntablc Rims.

Most cars today are equipped with
demountable rims. by means OF
these, a spare tire can be carried at

labor and the time formerly required
on the road. 10 change tires, in case
OF blowout or punCturc, is praCtiC-

Unless however, a certain amount

In order to have the demountablC

practically all rims are made secure
by means of wedges. These wedges

be six or eight short wedges

SATISFACTORY ROAD SURFACE
Engineer Explains How To Build
Better Concrete Roads.

A few years ago a Georgia engi-
neer decided that the best method OF
finishing the surface of a concrete
road was to roll IL lightly. Having
the courage of his convictions. he
tried the method and found 1t sat
isfactory After using 1t TO a con
siderable extent he described II at
a meeting OF road engineers in Chi
cago. and Il has since gradually come
into favor. The concrete was mixed
more stiff than that ordinarily used
for roads. The roller is about four
TO six feet long, eight inches in diam
eter and weighs about seventy
pounds. II is moved across the road
by man standing at the road side.
The good results seem to be due to
the fact that the roller compacts the
concrete considerably, squeezing out
the water and making the material
dense.

ring, and also press the rim on to the
stationary wedge, thus securely fast
ening the rim.
The way TO put on rim is as
follows: First. scrape with file or
sandpapcr. all rust from the rim and
felloe band. Then turn the wheel SO
that the valve stem hole is on top.
Then lift the top Of the rim on to
the wheel, inserting the valve stem in
its hole. and when satisfied that the
lug near the valve stem and on the
inside Of the rim win properly fall
into its hole on the felloc, SLAM on
the bottom of the rim. Next. put on
the wedge ring or that type OF rim)
and screw on all the luEs by hand.
Then with a tool turn In bolt No. /,

HOW MUCH FARTHER ARE YOU WILLING TO GO?
Do You Want Create Another Europe

TO establish government which should be
different from those in the Old World,
our forefathers fled to the New.
So detestable was the European model of
government, in the eyes of our forefathers,
that they endured every hardship, and dared
every danger which the New World presented
the savage the wilderness, the ravages Of
disease, and the privations of semi barbarous
existence.
When menaced by a European tyranny,
they ran to arms, and fought long, dis
couraging, bloody war Of seven years.
From Lexington and Bunker HILL to
Kings Mountain and Yorktown, they testi-
fed, in heroic deeds, their unconquerable de-
termination to keep their country free from
the monarchism, personalism, and absolutism
of the Old World.
In their Declaration of Independence, your
ancestors set forth their reasons for being so
ready to fight, and suffer, AND DIE, rather
than yield to the arbitrary demands of a
foreign p0tentate.
In the fundamental Law-which the states
men framed, and the State adopted-the
limits were definitely marked, like zand-Nnes

eminent, created by the States, could not 90,

ONE of the weakest spots in our system of
~ government is the holding-over by in
cumbents who have been refused a re-elec-
ton.
A defeat at the polls does not GUST the
loser. He holds his office for months after
ward, and he may be instrumental in aiding,
or resisting public measures of extreme i'm
portance.
Such man wouldn't be human, if he did
not resent his rejection by the people. His
ardor for "the country" cools, and he
generally uses the remnant of his term in
office q0ith an eye to his oao future advantage.
A defeat at the polls should act as Recall.
The term of the victor should begin on the
day when the result of the election is legally
ascertained. The term of the loser should
end when he is legally known to have lost.
Take, for instance, the short term of Con-
gress: my observation has been, that the worst
of laws are voted for by those members who
were defeated at the November elections
The constituents of these gentlemen pass
upon their claims, decide that they do not
entitle the Congressman to another two years;
and cote them out.
But do they get out? No: they are still
congressman for nearly four months. They

It may almost be said that 'The Father of
His Country" left us that priceless legacy, as
a part of his Last Will and Testament.
The other is, the Monroe Doctrine of 1923,
committing us to the policy of preventing
European powers from transplanting any
more of their system into the New World.
The logical counterpart of the Monroe
Doctrine is, that ne must steer clear Of Euro
peoro affairs.
When we say to Europe, Glands off !" in
the New World, we would be hopelessly in
consistent, If aoe didn't keep oar hands off, IN

Hence, the Monroe Doctrine has two sides
to it.
You can say to me, "Don't intrude upon
my premises!"
No one will question your right to say it.
But if you, at the same time, claim the
right TO intqude upon. mine, you'd be con-
sidered unreasonable.
WHAT GOES WITH THE MONROE DOCTRINE?
Now, let us get our facts clearly in mind,
and try to realize their bearings.
