a load Of 5000 pounds over different
kinds of roads. The wagon was @
standard farm wagon with steel axles
of equal length, wheels 80 and 4e
inches In diameter, and four-inch tires.
A recording dynamometer, known as
the Iowa type, was used to register
the tractive force of the team. This
| instrument makes q record of the re-
sistance on strip of paper under a
recording pencil, and after the test,
the total pull of the team can be read
off in pounds. The record of the test
Is as follows:
On concrete, road, unsurfaced, in
excellent condition, the total pull on
the load was SO pounds, or 27.6 pounds
per ton.
On concrete road with three-eighth
inch surface of asphaltic oil and
screenings, road in excellent condition,
the total pull was 1476 pounds or 1872
pounds per ton.
On the ordinary macadam road in
excellent condition, the total pull was
1913 pounds or CAB pounds per ton.
For a graveled road, compact, and
in good condition, the total pull was
225 pounds or rs pounds per ton.
An earth road, firm, with one and
one-half inches of fine, loose dust, the
total pull was PIG pounds or 90 pounds
per ton.
An earth road, with mud to 6
inches deep, but soil firm underneath,
the total pull was 654 pounds or 21S
pounds per ton.
On graveled road, before the gravel
had been compacted, but when it was
in ordinary loose condition after 1t had
been placed upon the road, the total
pull was 7S9 pounds or 263 pounds per
ton.
The above shows very we'll what
great advantages good roads have on

the recent state fair at Phoenix, Ariz.
furnished valuable proof that the Cop

gan, adopted when war was declared,

luncheon was prepared and served by
the home demonstration agents of the
State university, cooperating with the
United States department of agricul-
ture 1t was an agreeable surprise to
the people unfamiliar with the agricul-
tural resources of the state. Products
Of all but two of the fourteen counties
were represented in the menu. The
foods provided included grapes, dates,
figs and other fruits potatoes, carrots,
tomatoes, peas, milk-fed chickens, Mar
icopa butter, bread made from local
wheat and milo maize, olives, peanuts
and honey. Coffee from Hawaii was
the only substance grown outside the
state given place on the menu.
For months the county agricultural
agents have been making q special
drive for more and better home gar
dens and the use of homegrown
cereals. The home demonstration
agents have concentrated their efforts
on demonstrating the use of kafir corn
as a substitute for wheat flour and of
corn sirup and honey as a substitute
for cane sugar.

Veteran Is East Runner.

Col. James L. Smith is veteran of
the Civil war. He is seventy-three
years old; he lives in Detroit and
never misses a day from his desk in
one of the city's big automobile plants,
relates the American Magazine. Army
surgeons have pronounced him "a
physical specimen without parallel"
because he runs, or walks, five miles
as minimum and ten miles as maxi
mum every day. That is his under
standing of the secret Of his youth.
He doesn't claim that it Is the secret
for other people necessarily-but it is
the secret for him. Detroiters no
longer turn their head when they see
this white-haired man come running
down the street. At seventy-three he
can run ten miles in IS minutes. AT
seventy-three he can sprint faster than
the average youth of seventeen or nine
teen.

to stop the traffic in decomposed

Prizes for Largest Contributions.
In one shipment of poultry and eggs
505 contributors pooled their produce.
Most of them were small producers.

two or three dozen eggs. To stimulate
interest $25 prize was offered for rhe

weighed eight pounds and the heaviest
rooster ten pounds. The largest single

The Carroll county plan may well be
extended to other places, in the opin-

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation Of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play a most i'm
portant part in causing prem AZURE old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-ric is a late discovery OF DR..
Pierce and is put up in tablet form, and
can be obtained at almost any drug store
for GO cents. For that backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, rusty joints, swollen feet
or hands, due to uric acid in the blood.
Anuric quickly dissolves the uric acid.
Take a little Anuric before meals and
prolong your life. Send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package of Anurie.
