BRITISH TO SUPERINTEND
AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES. in
France. June ia special depart
ment attached to British headquarters
has been created for the purpose of
experimenting agricultural operations
in the areas evacuated by the Ger
mans.
Work in the fields by soldiers is
largely voluntary. AS details of sold.
iers leave the trenches for the rear
they are invited to spend their leisure
in agricultural work, for which tn
spring air and sun of France, is one
of the most pleasant recreations mag
Unable. Soldiers who have once lived
on a farm or have done farm work
back home, generally jump at the
opportunity, and it is surprising how
many city men are eager to take up
the work in the fields, even preferring
it to sports, such as football and field
athletics.
The soldier-farmers are well provid-
ed with horses, usually artillery or
transport horses from the reserves.
The British agricultural military staff
has gone so far as to secure its sold
ier-farmers cultivators and machinery
of British models which are familiar to
them. Seeds and necessary fertilizers
are also provided in abundance. The
army will cultivate something over 80
coo acres this year in the liberated
,onnnnn area alone

Take an Interest.

If parents would keep the confidence
of their children and understand them,
they must take an interest in their
play. This does not mean that it is
enough to watch them play. We must
get their viewpoint, understand what
1t means to them and, if possible, play
with them sometimes. At one time
there was no place in crowded city
life for children. Now the community
has recognized that they have some
rights and Fairgrounds With kindly SUI

MARKET NEWS
BY r. Allyn Lewis

NEW YORK, Feb. THE most not
iceable feature has been the entire alb
sence of market for good stocks. Great
Northern pfd.. St. Paul and stocks of
this character have melted on the
slightest kind of selling.
There has been little pressure but
there seems to be no buying.
The same thing is noticeable in the
bond list
If ever the need of a speculative
market and a short interest has been
demonstrated, it is shown in our rail-
road stocks.
When there is marginal buying and
short selling there is a ready market,
but where We have had to rely simply
on the investment purchaser, good
securities which come on the market
have to he sacrificed IN order to find a
purchaser.
Much was made of the report that
the government at Washington had
definitely arranged to take over ship
building and munition plants in the
event of war, thereby eliminating the
possibility of any laIg &c profits. The
theory that the United States as war
purchaser would be a very different
customer from the entente allies pre-
vailed end undoubtedly exerted some
influence on the side of reaction. But
actually the DAVIS proceedings could
have been accounted for on inside
grounds. The first great recoil from
the speculative collapse which accom-
panied the war scare carried prices as
such revulsiOns always do, up faster
than the real demand was willing to
follow. At the same time, it pretty
well eliminated the outstanding short
interest and thus weakened the tech
nical position. 1t almost always hap
pens that when these secanical changes
occur, the market has secondary re-
action and il was this sort of setback
which was witnessed during the early
hours of business yesterday morning.
The low nrices were reached midway
through the afternoon at which time
Steel common Anaconda, Smelters and
other representative stocks We're down
about two points from their top. The
final hour, Crucible Steel which has
been holding very strong throughout.
suddenly started forward in active buy
ing and it carried the whole list along.
There were rumorS circulating on the
floor of the exchange that control of
Crucible Steel had been secured by c.
NJ Schwab and the s-;.:on of the stock
bore out the information which has
come from reliable sources. The break
in German eXchangae was accom-
panied by similar decline in Austrian
bills. Sterling was lower although here
the movement was not important. The
firmness of time, money and CONNER
cial paper continued a feature, indi-
eating the money markets preparations
for the United States government loan

MOTOR FIRE TRUCKS
REACH PERFECTION

While so many complimentary things
are being said about the wonderful in
crease in production of automobiles
and motor trucks. and their adapta-
ton to numerous fields of human need
and endeavor, it should not be over
looked that the motoriZation of fire
fighting apparatus has reached very
high development.
Hore than thirty motor car manufac-
turers are now giving special atten-
ton to the building of motor driven
fire apparatus, that cur homes, bust
ness places. factories and public insti-
tutions may be protected from the dam
gers of fire, in so far as the human and
mechanical elements may be employed
to preserve them.
Throughout the entire country the
motorization of fire apparatus is rapid
ly taking place. Fewer and fewer fire
men now take pleasure in exhibiting to
you their shapely, Wellgroomed and
spirited steeds with Immediately pol
shed harness and metal fastenings
Rather do they now point with glowing
pride to the latest type of motor driven
fire fighting machine, and tell you of
its wonderful speed and efficiency.
With this great development in fire
apparatus has naturally been associat-
ed the matter of perfecting specially
designed tires to permit speed and yet
prevent, as much as possible, the wear
and tear on the mechanism of the
truck. To this problem the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company, Akron,
Ohio has for years given special at
tention.
Our position in this field" states
F. H. Sawyer, manager of the Goodyear
Fire Truck department, lis best shown
in the statement that 9S4 cities in the
United States and Canada are now us
ing Goodyear tires on their motorized
apparatus. During the year that has
just passed 1923 new cities in these two
countries bought equipment mounted
on Goodyears. A careful check of the
tire equipment of all the pieces of ap-
paratus manufactured during 1916
shows that siXty-five per cent of them
left the factories on Goodyear tires.
Tires for fire apparatus have
reached degree of perfection equal to
that of tires for pleasure cars But
for this Improvement in tires, motor
lied fire apparatus would not have at
tanned its present high efficiency. The
perfection of tires has kept pace with
that of the apparatus itself.
'Only when you stop to consider that
the value of motorized fire equipment
in the United States is placed at near
~ $100,000,000, do you get glimpse of
the wonderful opportunities which are
in store. Our prospects for big bust
ness this year are encouraging fact
the whole future of the industry is
very bright
