Governor Conner seems very sOlicitous about
the welfare of the farmer, and refers particularly
to the fact that the surplus Of low-grade cotton
at present Is not held by the farmers. take 1t
that the committee on cotton distribution has a
much bigger problem ahead of it than merely to
take care that farmers shall find market for
their product. The lack of market for low-grade
cotton is tying up large part of the nations re-
sources. is crippling prospective purchasers Of
Liberty bonds and otherwise retarding the eco
noInic life Of the country. That perfectly good
product should thus be placed under the ban and
its money value retired from circulation, is I'M
endurable. Even If the surplus low-grade cotton
is held by middlemen these middlemen are the
same persons who must buy the farmers present
crop, and If they and their bankers have their
capital tied up In a product which they cannot
dispose Of in turn, they will be unable to buy the
farmers product this year. So whether the farm
er holds surplus of low-grade cotton Ia not Of
prime Importance, and it appears that anyone who
stands in the way of getting this cotton into cir
cniauon is. In fact, an enemy to the farmer, ir-
respective of the attitude that he may assume"

TUBERCULOSIS OF HOG HERD
Sanitary Lot and Clean Feed Are En-
emies of This Disease-Siow In
Its Development.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
tuberculosis is rapidly increasing
among hogs in the United States, and
every owner of swine should be on his
guard against the introduction of this
serious malady upon his premises. I'm
| like hog cholera this disease is insid-
ious in it's attack and slow in its de-
velepment, so that it may be present
for months in a herd without exciting
the least suspicion of the owner, and
| will be revealed to him only at the time
Of slaughter. Until recent years tuber-
| culosis has been looked upon as of I'M
common occurrence and only Of impor-
lance from a meat-inspection stand
point; but today 1t must be recognized
as a serious menace to the owner Of
hogs, and especially to the%One who al
lows his hogs to run with cattle that
have not been. proved to be free Of tu-
berculosis, or who feeds them upon
nonsterilized products as part Of their
ration. As tuberculosis Of hogs is chief
ly contracted through eating infected
feed, the Importance of this statement
Is obvious.
tuberculosis Of hogs Is closely asso-
ciated with the same disease in cattle,
the reason being apparent when one
considers the close relations Of these
two species Of animals upon nearly ev-
cry farm. Tuberculous cattle may scat
ter great numbers of tubercle bacilli
with their excrement; cows that are
tuberculous may produce contaminated
milk that is subsequently fed to pigs;
and carcasses Of cattle that have died
from tuberculosis are sometimes eaten
by hogs.
The feeding of hogs upon creamery
refuse is also very frequent source
Of infection. In this way the milk of
single COW with tuberculous udder,
il sent to public creamery, may
spread the disease to number of
hogs, and may also infect many farms
that have never previously been con-
taminated with tuberculosis.
An equally dangerous source Of in
lection is likewise observed In the
methods which obtain among some Of
the small country slaughter houses. 1t
IL not unusual for these houses to get
rid Of their blood, intestines, viscera,
and other inedible parts by feeding
them to hogs, q herd of which is usual
ly kept on the premises. This custom
Is pregnant with danger and serves to
perpetuate the infectious principle of
various contagious and parasitic dis
eases, particularly tuberculosis.
Hogs are also susceptible to tuber-
cnleus infection from affected persons
and poultry, but these sources are UNI

GOOD HIGHWAYS HELP TRADE
Act as Spur to Business Besides Civ
ing Pleasure to Motorists-Rene-
fit Everybody.

To some people good roads mean
simply an advantage for the motorfst,
a convenience that was created and is
maintained for the motorists benefit,
enabling him to get from place to
place without racking his car to pieces
or experiencing the necessity of being
towed out Of hub-deep mud.
Yet there is another side to this sub
ject Of the value Of good roads, writes
L. J. Ollier In Chicago Tribune. Good
roads mean more than an opportunity
to get out on tours from the health
giving and pleasure standpoints.
Good roads are closely allied with
progress and prosperity. They pro-
mote the more widespread use OF au-
tomobiles, and statistics prove automo-
biles and prosperity always go to-
gether.
It is fair'to say that good roads ben
eft everybody: the city jewellers, those
who live In towns, and those who live
on farms. OF course, the fast-growfDg
use of motorcars-the fact that auto
mobiles are now considered practical
ly necessity for everybody-has been
the biggest single influence In swak-
ening this country to the fact that
money expended In good roads extern
sions and Improvements is money wen
spent.
We can all remember how only a
few years ago city people paid little
attention to good roads, and how farm
ers were even opposed to the expendi-
ture Of funds for the betterment Of
highways. That, of course, was before
automobiles came into such wide
spread usage, in the days when motor
cars were considered an extravaganza
and were owned only by the rich.
Good roads and the automobile have
taken people out into the country.
They have banfshed forever the isola-
tion Of farm life. They have increased
health and prolonged life. They have
enabled people to dig in and put better

efforts into their work as q result OF
the relaxation and broadening-out ex-
periences Of the weekend trip into the
country.
The prospect Of being able to buy
an automobile and receive the benefits
of good roads has spurred the ambf-
ton and Quickened the Imagination OF
the man who walks or uses street cars.
He wants to be Independent.
He wants to get away from the linn
tied vision that Of necessity must be
his just as long as he is bound to q
life Of pounding pavements and cling
ing to street-car straps. He works
harder and achieves more, with the
prospect Of spinning over good roads
In his own automobile. For travel
Ing only around town he may feel that
he cannot afford an automobile; that
he cannot get his moneys worth.
There is where good roads come in,
enabling just such man to get out
into the country and broaden out.
Good roads have been stimuiator
OF business. BY means of good roads
an outlet to the congestion of cities
has been afforded. New towns have
sprung up.

FUTURE NEEDS OF HIGHWAYS

VIII Show Weakness.

Roads should be built with an eye
to the future needs as closely as the
future needs can be figured. A road
built for today may not stand the re
Quirements Of tomorrow. The same
holds true Of bridges and culverts. The
truck will soon show up this weakness
Of the old road policy.

The teams are far more importan

should take pains to care for his teams
and get them In the best possible con-

ANGORAS FURNISH
 CADILLAC CUSHION
FINE LONG WOOL FORMS BASE FOR MATERIAL WHICH
 COVERS INTERIORS

It's lucky soldier whose wife, mother, sister or sweetheart knits for him a sweater or d helmet of Angora wool. For the fine, long Angora makes the warmest, closest and softest of garments. Most women knitters know this, and most of them feel that, eX- cept for a very especial bit of knitting Angora wool is too costly for them to use
 But Angora is not LOO costly for the Cadillac Motor Car company to use for upholstering the interiors of it's en- closed cars. It forms the base of the mohair velvet which is found in Cadil- lac limousines, broughams, town cars and landaulets.
 The Cadillac company has found that no other material quite matches Angora mohair velvet in beauty, dur ability or cleanliness. None of the original luster of the long, silky wool is lost in the preparations which pre- cede it's weaving into fabrics When the velvet is completed it has a pile which it is impossible to crush flat. Hence all the wear comes on the ends of the individual flores. and even in hard use is so slight that it is not perceptible. Pullman and other high class railroad cars have their chairs upholstered with mohair velvet. A car seat that had been in constant service for A years was recently ex- hibited by one of the railroads Hav- ing pile, dust settles into it, does not show on the surface, and at proper times and places can be removed by air blast, vacuum cleaner or brush.

VULCAN|z|NC PLANT MAKES NEW TIRES
 OUT OF OLD
PAYNE AND SAUFLEY COMPANY MAINTAINS MINIATURE FAC
 TORY FOR TIRES

Equipped with factory machinery and employing men trained in the manufacture of automobile tires the Vulcanizing plant operated by the Payne and Saufley rubber company is declared to be fitted to virtually re- build and make new tires out of old ones.
 Tn this miniature manufacturing plant, said by it's owners to be unique in Arizona, almost every process through which the rubber goes on it's way toward making up an automobile tire, may be viewed by the observer. old tires, 'tottering on their last legs" are brought in, stripped of the ragged edges, rebuilt, inside and out, and re- treaded, with the original factory tread if the owner desires. They are then placed in a huge, steam heated vat where the rubber is cured" to the proper condition and the tread Vulca- nized on to the casing as it was orig finally.
 According to officials of the com pany, there are a number of cases on record where the retread wore longer than the original Thus at small cost the motorist is enabled to get a new tire, which in some cases arc better than the old ones.

 What is true of the Oldsmobile fac tories is true of nearly every industry in the United States. The curtailment of production and continued demand for cars of proven reliability have de- pleted the usual winter accumulation in the hands of dealers. Consequently it behooves everybody to anticipate his needs and requirements for many diff ferent commodities in order to enable the dealer selling them to make satis- factory delivery.

CARBON REMOVING S|MPL|F|ED IN
 NEW METHOD
LESS COSTLY AND MORE EFFI- GENT ARE VIRTUES CLAIMED
 FOR NEW OXYGEN PLAN

Carbon. the cause of 75 per cent of all motor trouble is the outgrowth of deposits of unburned oil and gasoline. These deposits form a scale or crust upon the piston head and the walls of the explosion chamber and being of a porous nature they absorb the gas coming in from the carburetor. thereby causing a loss of power. When this scale gets broken up bit by the ac- ton of the pistons, small particles lodge under the valves, causing them not to seat properly, another form of power loss. They also get red hot, igniting the mixture before the valves are entirely closed, causing pre-igni- tion, another loss of power, and also overheating The old remedy for re- moving carbon was to use scrapers used like hoe and to scrape it out or take the motor apart and clean it that way, a long and costly way The latest and best way is the oxygen system with which you burn it out, a cheaper and more effective way. Some people are under the impression that the burning operation is injurious to the motors but such is not the case, for the reason that the heat caused by burning out carbon is not so intense as that caused by running at a high speed, so one can see the fallacy of this belief. Furthermore if such were the case there are thousands of motors ruined every day in all parts of the country for this method of carbon re moving is used to a great eXntent in | factories and large garages.
 MT. Snyder of the Derross Carbon Removing company will be pleased at any time to demonstrate to all motor ists the use of (oxs een) way of re- moving carbon. MT. Snyder until re- gently was interested in the Pierce Arrow company of Chicago where the system is used extensively. From 30 to
 50 minutes is the time required to
 burr. out the carbon on the average
 motor and the cost is from soc to 1 S1.25 per cylinder

REDUCED OUTPUT IN SPITE IF LIVE
 AUTO MARKET
THIS IS BUT ONE REGRET OF MOTOR CAR MEN ATTEND
 ING ANNUAL SHOW

Motor car manufacturers and deal- CTS arriving in New York recently for the opening of the national automobile show last Saturday, voiced but one re- Eret and as to that they were in unanimous accord.
 The one regret was the certainty of a reduced 191S. car production in the face of live market From the west, the northwest and the south particu- larly, men accustomed to counting correctly the pulse of the trade, pre- dicted a demand for cars quite equal to the rosiest years of the past.
 Even eastern men reported many good sigrs. One, a distributor of Dort cars in upper New England, said he was ready to contract for double the output the factory would allow him. That's nothing said his friend from Texas, also a Dort distributor, "Td take three times as many as they will give me"
 These are typical remarks from pre- show talk heard on every hand re- garding conditions. The answer, it is declared. is that automobiles are in- dispensable to the transportation re- quirements of the country. Business could not be carried on with the same speed and efficiency without them, the automobile men say. Even though it were possible to return to the days when traffic was measured by the ground covering capacity of horses, Il would be uneconomical to do so. Horses consume valuable food stuffs. Cars run on gasoline of which there is ar ample supply.
 Speed, it is argued, is necessary ir order to end the war quickly-no Only speed in strictly military prepara- tion and movement, but also in al walks of civil life. Individual civil fans contribute to the success of tn war in just the measure that they art personally alert, active and efficient Efficiency is largely a matter of time and no agency saves so much time a. the passenger automobile

"McArthur Brothers Flying Squad ron composed of salesmen of the lines sold by McArthur Brothers have the past week been visiting all the towns adjacent to Phoenix.
 The object of the Flying Squadron was to get better acquainted and also to exhibit the newest models of Dodge Brothers, Nash and Packard motor cars and trucks.
 The itinerary included Glendale, Tempe, Chandler, Mesa and Buckeye and in each town, enthusiastic crowds greeted the squadron and much in- terest shown in the demonstrations, the "Delco light exhibit was especially attractive.
 At each town a Dodge Brothers mo- tor car was run in circle without a driver and prize awarded to the one who guessed nearest the time 1t stopped, this feature adding much to the interest of the display. One little boy at Glendale, who managed to get a peep at the gasoline gauge late in the afternoon was very much disappointed that the car run so long on little gas.
 It seemed that his guess was pretty close and when he found out that the gas was about out of the tank, he stood with a watch in his hand, all excite ment. for if the Dodge would only run two minutes more, he would win. The two minutes passed and the car rolled on-the boy watched it and finally ex- claimed, Its running on it's reputation for it's out of gas" Ten minutes later it stopped and N. F. Watts and Her. bert May split the money, each guess ing within one minute of the time the car stopped.
 Five tied for the honors at Tempe and in every place the squadron wis ited, the guessing was close.
