In regions where potato production
is specialized, motortrucks are being
rapidly adopted for hauling even when
the distance to the railroad siding is
relatively short. Two-ton trucks are
popular for this purpose, and 100
bushels, or 5000 pounds, are common
ly taken at trip. One business
like potato grower whose farm is four
miles from railroad states that he av-
erages five trips a day, hauling 100
bushels to a trip; that he uses the
truck little except during a two
months shipping season; that his
haulage costs, allowing for interest,
repairs, storage, depreciating and
drivers wages, averages about 1925
a trip. or PA cents a bushel. He
states that the haulage cost would be
noticeably reduced if he used the
truck over a greater period.
Five Trips Per Day.
He figures a ten-mile round trip
three tons being carried in going. 1t
would be possible to make six trips a

LENGTHEN LIFE OF AIR BAGS
Clamp Screw Should Be frightened
Until Exact Size Of Tire Is OBJ
tained-Other Hints.

The life of an air bag can be greatly
heightened by observing the following
rules:
: When the tire is placed in the mold
the clamp screw should be frightened
until the exact size of the tire is Olt-
tanned, and then given about one-hal5
turn. This slightly decreases the size
of the cavity and relieves the strain
on the air bag, In addition to giving
perfect results in the cure.
Never allow the bag to became f1at,
as this will cause cracks in the lining.
Inject a little warm water into the
bag each week in order to keep the
inside of the bag moist.
Don't pull the bag out by the tube.
Use the tape.

not for the inevitable delays which
occur at the station. Heavy shipping
causes congestion, and new arrivals
must wait their turn to unload the

Fruit Growers Favor Trucks.
Fruit growers are another class
among whom autotrucks are becoming
common. The big fruit farm, hauling
Its own fruit to the railroad, uses
horses in the fall out of all proportion
to farm needs at other seasons.
Numerous large fruit farms formerly
made no attempt to keep draft horses
in the numbers required for fall haul
ing and instead let this work out
On contract, at so much box or bar
rel. The autotruck interests this
class; during the long, idle periods it
consumes no oats. The autotruck is
also proving valuable to growers of
perishable fruits, permitting them to
ignore the express route and find a
in hurry when required.

hidlnn a Klnn,a Statue.

The fine equestrian statue Of King
Charles l, which was hidden in London
for protection during the war, has been
brought to light again. The statue.
which was cast during the reign of the
monarch, according to reports has not
enjoyed the uneventful career per-
mitted to most works of its kind. 1t
was executed for Sir Richard Weston.
afterward earl of Portland, who in
tended to place 1t as an ornament In
his garden at Rochampton. But this
function it never fulfilled, for 1t was
seized by parliament during the Civil
war and sold, to one John Rlvett,
brazier, to be broken up. John, how
ever, being royalist, hid the statue.
and, by selling hundreds Of bronze
knife handles purporting to be made
from 1t, dlsarmed any parliamentary
suspicious in the matter. On the res
toration of Charles II in 1860 Rivett
produced the statue, which was
claimed by Sir Richards son. The
brazier refused to yield It, and after
years Of dispute 1t was eventually pre-
scented to King Charles II and erected
on the spot formerly covered by the
original Charing cross.

Antarctic "sheIf Ice.D

From the work Of recent explora-
tons, Sir Douglas Mawson concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic ice cap rests is very irregu-
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below, and that Its thickness, which is
very variable, may reach a maximum
of several thousand feet. Under the
thickest portions the static pressure at
the base may be, as great as one ton
per square inch. Under such cover
ing there may be considerable accu-
mutation Of ground heat, and 1t is as
sumed that the under portion Of the ice
mass is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breaks up the Ice at a
rate faster than the flow, the sea front
is substantially the COAST line. But
elsewhere, as in the Great Ross barrier
and the Shackleton shelf, the supply
of ice exceeds the rate of erosion at
the sea front, and the overflow from
the land maintains thick sheet Of
'shelf ice" extending far out to sea.
The sea front Of the ice cap, at the
present rate Of advance or flowing out,
is estimated to have left the center In
the seventh century Of our era.

DRESSFOR WINTER
Modish Outfit Attractive With
Fringe Trimming.
Narrow Ribbon May Be Effectively
Used; Satin, Faille or Velvet,
According to Choice.

Style authorities continue to fiirt
with fringe in the general lineup Of
dress trimmings. Many smart winter
frocks will feature this type of decora-
ton and the greatest possible variety
OF fringes shown. Jet is a prime ia
vorite both for daytime and evening
dress trimming. Silk fringes of all
sorts are used, and one of the very
new fancies is for fringe made of very
narrow ribbon. The ribbon may be
satin, faille or velvet, according to
choice, and it may be as wide or as
narrow as the individual taste dictates.
Ribbon fringe may be bought by the
yard at the dress trimmings counters
in most of the big shops, but making
1t at home of ribbon that exactly
matches the dress it is to trim is a
very simple matter.
A frOck, designed for either street
or afternoon wear, features ribbon
fringe as its principal trimming. This
dress may be made of brown satin or
very fine soft velours and trimmed
with embroidered motifs in black and
with black fringe and girdle, or the
fringe may match the frock proper
with black belt and touches of black
in the embroidery. The skirt is narrow
and cut ankle length. The bodice fast.

Fine Memorial to Edith cav.ll.

In quarry, midway between Bod
win and Camelford. on the moors of
North Cornwall, England, a memorial
is being fashioned out Of granite in
memory Of Nurse Cavell. One of the
huge pieces Is nearing completion un-
der the guidance Of Sir George Framp-
ton, who is giving his services free.
This figure represents a woman with
arms half appraised, holding q little
child on her lap, while underneath, on
the base of the monument, is carved q
cross. The group is symbollcal Of the
stronger nations protecting the smaller
and weaker ones, while the cross Is the
emblem of mercy. The whole group IL
carved in the form of a cross, giving
special significance to the order to
which Nurse Cavell belonged. Another
huge block of granite near by has q big
lion carved on 1t, with head erect and
name bristling. Trampled beneath its
feet is serpent, writing, but defeat

"And what happened to Ferguson? Did
he fall in the cauldron and boil to
death? Get on with your story, man."
Ferguson fell in" said the senator,
"but he managed to scramble out
again. The peril, however, was not
yet over for him. Our Arizona air, you
see, is so dry-that 1t absorbs moisture
with astonishing rapidity. Well, the
boiling water In Ferguson's clothes
evaporated so fast that the poor fell
low instantly froze stiff."

"No, he didn't die" said the senator.
HE almost died, but he had miracu-

A PEACEFUL WAY TO FULL
RESULTS.

A. r E SID ENT WILSON
Ill states what has been
frequently said before,
that the allies have a promise
from Japan that Shantung will
be returned to China. With
most people that is sufficient
to settle the Shantung question.
Having made the promise ia
pan will have to keep it, not
merely for the sake of her own
credit but for the further rea-
son that the other nations, par
ticularly when aligned in the
League of Nations, will be in
position to demand compliance
and get it.
The only possibility of dam
ger for China consists in the
chance that the League of Ma
tions may be defeated. Incl
dentally about the only chance
for trouble between America
and Japan hinges on the same
thing. without a league of ma
tions there is no certainty that
America and Japan will not
some day lock horns over the
immigration question. With
the league in vogue there
would be no danger on that
score because the league gives
each nation the right to regu-
late its immigration and under
article 10 guarantees a nation
against external aggression.
So the substance of the mat
ter is that acceptance of the
peace treaty with its league
covenant and adjustments will
bring about everything that is
wanted and do it peacefully.
Rejection of the treaty, by
the senate committees meth
ods would accomplish nothing
that is wanted but would be
first class for trouble breeding
purposes.
For stupidity the Lodge
leadership has never been
equalled.

The most startling revela-
tions in the food crisis come
from the vicinity of Chicago
where profiteering in sugar
had been extensively practiced
up to the time the government
and state authorities interven-
ed. Dealers there had been
charging from II to 16 cents
a pound for sugar. With
the government announcement
that IL cents is a fair price,
the quotations in that section of
the country have come down
generally. At the instance of
the district attorneys office
warrants were issued for the
arrest of officials of the John

cago. The charge is that the
wholesalers had obtained a
$4,000 lot of sugar at 50 a

were selling to retailers at $13,
