Sand and moisture are recog-
nized as the worst enemies of the
tire, moisture rotting the fabric
and sand working into small cuts
separates the fabric layers and
destroys the strength of the cas-
ing. Mr.. Hallack's outfit also
includes a portable casing form
by which small cuts on the tire
can be promptly repaired with
out removing the tire from the
machine. BY having these
small cuts promptly attended the
motorist will greatly lengthen
the life and mileage of his tires
and thus greatly reduce the larg-
est item of expense in the opera
ton of the motor car.
Mr.. Hallack states he believes
the automobile business in this
section will be better this year
than ever before, the road i'm
provements being a big factor to
help the sale Of cars.

Brazil and Argentina.

Brazil's rupture of relations with Ger
many will probably be followed by a
declaration of war. The diplomatic
break has been well received by Bra
lillian press and people, though among
large classes of the people the sentiment
is held that the governments action
does not give full satisfaction, and there
is vigorous demand for mobilization of
war. The government has decided to
seize German ships in Brazilian harbors.
The German press rejecting German Off
cial opinion is contemptuous toward
Brazil, and the act of Germany in sink
ing a Brazilian merchant ship, which led
to the break in relations, will be fol
lowed by the sinking of any other Bra
lillian ship into which a German sub
marine can send a torpedo or on which
it can bring its guns to bear.
The relations between Argentina and
Germany are at the breaking point i'll
spite of the German influence and popu
lation in that country, conditions which
have given to Argentine policy the APP
pearance of being pro-German. Brazil
adds considerable weight in tipping the
scales against Germany, and Argentina
would be an important factor being one
of the rich countries of the world and
one of the great grain and meat produe-
ing countries. Brazil is large pro
Queer OF war essentials. Both Brazil
and Argentina have been fields for Ger
man industrial expansion and colonial
ton. and German activities N these
fields may be circunscribed after the
war. The ruthless defiance OF the rights
Of all nations has brought against Ger
many the hostility of the world and
leagued against her nearly all the ma
tions.

The Harvest and the Reapers.

The problem of harvest hands will be
a considerable one this year. 1t has oc-
cupied attention for number of years.
Ever since the grasshoppers ''let go" in
the middle states and the near west, and
farmers began gathering the fruits of
their labors, a scarcity of helpers when
the crops ripened has existed. 1t be
came the subject of general comment
Professional jokers toyed with it; and
the picture of Kansas farmer proyid-
ing entertainment for his help in the
evening after the days work had been
completed was painted with full sweep
of both brush and the imagination.
This year. all crops, if the weather
favors, should and will be bumpers.
Every acre of tillable land within till
able reach will be put under tribute.
The country will need all that can he
produced The suggestion of want in
America has struck home. Everybody is
aroused, and in one way or another pre-
pairing to get busy. And SO when har
vest time comes greater numbers than
ever before will be necessary to reap
what so many have sown.
Hitherto high wages alone have been
relied upon to supply this feature of
the farmers needs. Idlers in the towns
and college boys on vacation have
yielded to the offers, and staked them
selves from unusual occupation.
But added to good wages now will be
a sentiment of performing sort of
public service Men and boys who go
into the fields and pitch hay, or cut and
shock corn, or cut and stack wheat, will
in pocketing their wages have the salts
faction of feeling that they have as
sisted in relieving or preventing public
distress. To the dignity of labor will
be added the dignity of labor become
patriotic.
Shall we not see women help in
greater numbers and in more ways than
ever before9 1t is altogether likely.
The problem concerns all The wife
and daughters of the farmer have al
ways done much in the care and toward
promoting the prosperity of the home.
But to them, as to others, new times
have come, bringing new and trying diff
iculties, and they, as others, have an
increased burden to bear.

In the preparedness campaign against
food shortage the mems enlistment by
the hundred thousand for increased pro
duction in American farms and gardens
is not more important than the enlist
mcnt of American women to prevent
food-was;age in our kitchens and at our
tables. Each of these military move
ments supplements the other.
An important factor in preparedness
is the raising of millions of money to
supply quickly and fully war neeessi-
ties. To meet this national demand the
individual is patriotically ready to re-
spond in increased taxes and in volun-
tary contributions toward great va
riety of military purposes which appeal
to love of country. If the men of the
republic, speaking generally, provide the
war money and fill the nations purse,
the women of the country, speaking gen
orally, by domestic economy save and
accumulate the money in the family
purse. which enables that purse to re-
spond to the drain upon it of the ma
tons war necessities. To save money
for the nations use by abstaining from
domestic extravaganza and luxury is a
patriotic selfsacrifce, responding to the
same impulse which sends men into
khaki
The campaign of the American women
against food wastage and moneywast
age, against personal extravaganza and
luxury in the American home, sets in
motion an efficient and vitally impor-
tant division of the great army of patri-
otie preparedness.

Supplying the Allies.

Germany built high hopes of starving
Great Britain into submission by sub
marine blockade and destruction of ship
ping. The plan, if it ever had chance
of success, seems destined to fail and
to the United States will probably fall
a large measure of credit for its failure.
If there is blockade this country will
do its best to break it, and if there is
shortage of supplies in Great Britain,
France, Italy and Russia, this country
intends to relieve it. Lloyd George has
said that the road to victory, a guar
antee of victory, the absolute assurance
of victory, is to be found in the one
word ships" The American plan is to
quickly increase the shipping tonnage
of the world, and especially the trans
port facilities between this country and
the allies The proposition to construct
light wooden ships was broaehed before
the United States entered the war, and
now timber and lumber interests, en-
gine builders and shipyards throughout
the land are to be called on to turn out
wooden cargo carriers in the minimum
time. The number of these ships
planned TO be built will run into hun
dreds, and if the war continues may
