MYTH the Unprecedented advance Of
w cord pneumatic tires as equipment
on motor trucks has naturally arisen
the question as TO whether these tires
can be successfully repaired and re-
dreaded. The demand for pneumatic
tired trucks is growing nightly and
there is no doubt that it viii continue
to grow rapidly. Truck manufactur-
ers report a steadily increasing rer-
centage Of their output leaving their
factories on pneumatics. In some in-
stances this has grown from an oc-
casional pneumatic tired truck 2
year ago, 10 twenty five percent OF
their output today.
II has never been felt that the
success OF cord tire equipment for
trucks depended directly on their
susceptubility to repair, but the
discover Of successful repair
methods O. another strong point
in their favor and an added rea-
son why these tires are practical
equipment.
The first OF the tire companies to
evolve a pneumatic truck tire was the
GOODYEAR Tire & Rubber comrauy. OF
Akron, o., which after extensive eN-
perimentaticu offered 20 the motor
truck world a fabric tire in sizes
36xl, ssxf, zOxS, and 42x9. In the
meantime research was continued
With the cord type OF tire. This lat
ter type soon appeared so much su-
perior 20 the fabric type that the
former was discontinued. It's con-
struction IS the same as that Of the
cord tire for passenger cars, except
that 1t contains more layers OF paral-
lei cords and has thicker side walls
and tread
How They Are Repaired.
"Just how are these big tires re-
paired" IS q question often asked by
interested truck owners. A repair
man who has the proper mold equip
ment can repair such injuries as tread

summer term of the normal school
will close on August Z after six weeks
Of very successful work. While there
has been nothing sensational about
the term. the work has progressed, the
attendance is such as to encourage
the school in the idea that there is a

continue the short review courses as

Understood to be Behind

Privates Of the North Dakota Ma
tional Guard companies who were
transferred from the 164th infantry,
formerly the First North Dakota, to
regular army regiments in France on
their arrival in the war zone last year.
are believed to have participated in
the present intensive engagements on
the Marine.
Omcers sof the old North Dakota
guard, now officers Of the 164th infan-
try, are understood to be up back of
the line where the intensive fighting
has taken place, being ready to take
their men into action. They are in
the Sunset division, formerly COM
manded by General Ligget, who now
commands the First army corps.
When the privates of the North Da-
kota guard were transferred from
their old companies to the regular
army infantries, most the men were
sent into the 18th infantry, while a
few North Dakotans ~ transferred
to the 10th infantry and the oath in
fantry.
The 18th infantry participated in
the fighting at Chateau Thierry In
June, and is believed to have been in
the thick of the recent fighting. The
absence OF letters from many OIL I1le
boys for several weeks. lends color to
the theory that the North Dakota men
have been with the American forces
making history in this country's first
test in a big battle.
AS for the 164th infantry, it is Off

kota officers. When the transfer OF
privates took place, all commissioned
men and non-coms were retained In
the 164th, to train new men. Just re-

Great Improvement in Ger.
tains Places the Last
Two Weeks.

Minneapolis, MIMI. Aug. 2.-During
the past week there have been some
severe hail storms, especially in North
Dakota, Sthat have lone considerable
damage The recent rains throughout
the territory while late. have benefit
ed the late, oats, barley and flax in
the dry section of North Dakota.
Minnesota-In the northern quarter
of the state harvesting .of oarse
grains is general, but little wheat has
been cut. In the central and south
ern sections harvesting of barley, oats
and rye is about completed, while one
half Of the wheat is cut Little
threshing has been done. Bluestem
wheat in southern Minnesota has been
somewhat affected by black rust and
too much forcing weather, but other
varieties a r IN better condition. The
estimates of yields in the southern
to eighteen bushels of wheat per acre.,
barley. thirty bushels; oats, forty
bushels. Flax shows a promising
condition with few exceptions in the
northern half of the state. Corn is
developing very rapidly.
South Dakota-The general situa-
ton is very satisfactory. Black rust
has probably done slight damage.
Harvesting Of coarse grains is almost
completed and a few cars of new bar
ley have been shipped. Samples Of
show considerable variation in quality.
In some localities it is of the soft va
riety, while in others it is hard and
f1inty. The fine condition Of corn and
fax is still maintained.
North Dakota-There has been a
decided improvement in the western
half Of the state due to the fine rains
the past week. These will help the
filling Of early grain and develop the
late sown. This section, however, is
so very spotted and uneven that the
outcome Is uncertain. Flax shows a
great improvement also in this Sec
ton. In the eastern half of the state
while spotted, the general conditions
not a bumper as first anticipated.
Considerable rye and barley have
been harvested and threshing will
start within ten days. Little wheat
has been cut. The state has been re-
tmarkably free from black rust, but
has had some blight due to hot wealth
er.
Montana-Recent rains have i'm
proved the hay and feed conditions. as
well, as the late grain. AS previously
reported, the northern part of the
state will raise but little grain. The
central districts have good crops of
both winter and spring wheat and
oats. In the southern valleys good
wheat are predicted. InAthe eastern
part there are a number of areas thai
will probably produce very fair crops
while others are poor. The late mois-
ture may, however, improve crops
much more than Anticipated.
