AUTO IS NECESSITY
Becoming increasingly important
Factor in Farm Life.
Machine Eliminates Distance and
Helps People of Different Parts of
Land Better to Understand
Each Other.

The automobile Is becoming an in
creasingly important factor in farm
life. 1t is rapidly reducing the isola-
tion which once made the agriculturist
more or less of an involuntary hermit.
The motor car Is beginning not only to
mellow the farmer, but to expand the
city man. The day when every farmer
looked upon an automobile as an OBJ
| ject for abuse has largely gone. Today
| the farmer gives the automobile half
the road with good grace, for his own
| possession of q similar vehicle has re-
versed his prejudices.
The motor car Is bringing the world
together. 1t is eliminating distance.
It is bringing the country nearer to the
city, the East nearer to the West. 1t is
helping the people Of the different
parts of the land better to understand
each other.
City Market Handy.
The middleman came into existence
originally because the farm was so far
from the city. With the gasoline-pro-
PEELED vehicle the farmer can now
reach the city market in few hours.
His need for the commission merchant
is not so great. The value of the food
distributor Is consequently lessenlng.
The automobile will some day bring
the farmer direct to the consumer, and
also the consumer direct to the farmer.
The standard of living on the farm
Is, OF course, revolutionized by the au-
tomobile. Not only has the automo-
bile brought about the possibility Of
city shopping for the family but 1t also
aids mechanically the operations of
the farmer through the various appli-
ances for pumping, threshing, etc.
Two Streaks Of Mud.
The time Is not far distant when the
old "two streaks of mud" which once
constituted the rural highway will be
a thing Of the past. Instead Of hav-
ing merely few main roads of high
quality and bearing fancy names, we
will have general system of perma-
nent pixies running in all directions,
affording easy accessibility.
The coming of the city motorist into
the open country has led to good
roads, better hotels, improved villages,
md q beneficial influence ON the
thoughts and manners of the farm
1wellers.
A Saturday evening census of the
,ars "hitched" along the curb Of any
small town, made while their farmer
,wners are attending the weekly
movies or the lyceum bureaus enter
ainment, would surprise a good many
'fty folks.
The number of high-grade cars that
will be found "three-quartered" to-
ward the sidewalks proves that the
'est in automobiling pleasure is none
90 good for the present-day farmer
md his family.

The quality of the compressed air
in tire is of more Importance than
most people realize. The well-known
effect Of oil or oily vapors on rubber,
has been difficulty hard to overcome
in the commonly constructed piston
pumps, as pistons and cylinders must
be fabricated. Too little oil means the
freezing" of piston and cylinder by
unequal heat expansion and too much
oil means pumping oil along with the
air into the tires. Even when the
amount is exactly right the heat of
compression tends to vaporize the oil
and impregnate the air that is pumped
into the tires.

OHIO DOLL KILLS
WOLF WITH CLUB.

Henry t. Doll of this city, returned
last week from a visit with his son
Ohio, north of Dodg vile. Mr.. Doll
says that neighbo Of Otho's who has
owe a thousand wolf scalps to his
credit, set a trap for varmint few
weeks ago. The wolf was caught but
escaped with the trap. Ohio Doll fol-
lowed the wolf and shot the animal
twice through the head. The wolf
kept on running and Ohio was out of
ammunition. The latter finally caught
up and dispatched the wolf with a
club.
