1ANES w. GERARD, who was

"Germans think our young men
cannot and will not fight; that they
are either fat, lazy and timid, or
tango lizards and male manicures.'
repeatedly he Kaiser has al
lowed insults to be made by organ
led forces in Berlin to our Presi-
dent and the nation. For years he
has sown among his subjects the

naval and military power is by no
means broken. They look upon us
with mixture of ridicule and con-
tempt"

By Investigations just completed by
the New York State College Of For

that nlne-tenths Of the rOadsides In
the rural districts Of New York state
are entirely void Of shade trees. When
this is considered along with the fact
that last year New York state paid out
Of the state treasury about $30,OO0,OO0
for the construction and maintenance
Of road beds, It shows that the state

LOGGING TRUCKS MAKE ROAD
One Type Of Car Used In Far West
Has Front Tires Of Ten Inches and
Rear Ones Of Twenty.

Powerful wide-tired trucks are now
being used In logging regions In Ore
gon and Washington, which virtually
make their own roads as they go. One
type of these ears is described in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t has front
tires 10 inches wide. An expert
enced driver carefully selects his
course as he goes over a route for the
first time and the weight of his ma
chine makes a road as 1t moves along.
A few trips over the same line Of
travel serves to make a hard, smooth
surface which will withstand consid-
cradle bad weather. F~our-wheeled
trallers are often used with these
trucks.
