FARM PROSPERITY AND
FARM REQUIREMENTS

There was time In the lean years
OF farming when many farmers had
to buy equipment that was poor in
quality because 1t was cheap. But
today the farmer has money and is
buying equipment of proved value
the sort he has always wanted be-
cause he knew it had the geunine
value that made 1t cheuper
The automobile. is today part of
the standard equipment of every
farm. Cars of the best makes dot
every country road. The farmer is
considered by the auto salesman to
be a most discriminating buyer. He
is a man used to doing things him1
self. and not dselegating Jobs to 9TH
crs; his information is usually first
hand, and he knows just what he
wants.
1t is because of the farmers pros
perity and their determination to get
full value for their money. says the
United States Tire Company. that we
are looking forward to an enormous
business this year in the agricultural
sections.

Eliminate Auto
Speeding Habit

The Ohio State Automobile Asso-
citation has suggested to the state
legislature the old speed limits in the
state law be done away with. using
instead the words 'motor vehicles
and motorcycles shall not be operat-
ed on the public roads or highways
at a speed greater than is reasonable
or proper. having regard for width.
traffic. use and the general rules of
said road or highway, or so as to
endanger property. life or limb of any
person"
The bill also provides that speed in
excess OF 30m p. h. for an eighth
of mile shall be presumptive evil
d),nce of driving at rade of speed
greater than reasonable or proper.
The present law provides for not
more than 8 m. p. h. in business and
built-up sections of city. is m. p. h.
in residence sections and 25 m. p. h.
on the public highways.

Reports show that 56,0OO.0OO

stopping for late supper. The dis
tance is 176 miles.
This boulevard is getting a great
deal of travel and last season several
hundred tourists passed over the
highway thru the towns of this coun-
ty to the west. The number will be
greatly increased this year as the
road shortens the distance between
Great Bend and Pueblo besides be-
ing faster road than the Santa F,e
trail which has SO many turns, all
tending to lower the rate of speed
cars might travel. Also this road is
In better condition. taking it as a
whole, from Great Bend to Fowler
than the Santa Fe trail is between
the same two points. Tourists are
finding out this shorter cut to Colo
RADIO, and as a result the traffic thru
here is rapidly on the increase.

SEVERE TIRE TESTS
ARE MADE BY. U. S.

Tho perhaps every motorist real
ICES how sturdy the construction of
serviceabIe automobile tires must be
to withstand successfully all the va
ried strains to which they are usb-
jected, it is only when one knows Of
ficially of the gruelling tests which
the government applied in war time
before approval that thoro apprecia-
tion of their remarkable resistance
is possible.
We quote from a report of one of
the officers of the Motor Transport
corps as to the nature of these tests:
1.-THE road test was very severe, be-
ing over some of the worst roads in
Maryland, with an exceptionally
heavy load of merchandise.
1.-THE chemical test was scientific,
the tire being put into tank of very
strong acids and salts, and kept
therein for forty-eight hours. And af-
ter the chemical test 1t was put thru
what is known as the fire test. This
simply means that the tire is put in
to an oven and baked, and the results
showed whether or not the rubber
was properly cured.
1.-THE overseas test is the most in
teresting and the severest of them
ALL The tire is put on spinwheel
with an inner tube with a hundred
pound air pressure and spun around
on sort of a cam shaft at a terrific,
rate of speed. hitting all kinds of
broken metal and glass, tacks and
nails. and in fact several sorts of
sharp edges that would penetrate
thru the rubber and fabric.
'.All the above experiments re-
quired a new pneumatic tire of each
make for each test, and the tires
were bought at different points thru
out the United States. SO that the
manufacturers would not get special
made tires for tests"

Than Any Past Year---Machinery

stricts types OF construction between
narrower limits th..n those establish
ed by sound finance and good en-
gineering practice.
"2 That the amount contributed
from the Federal Treasury in connec-
ton with any road shall not exceed
$4,000 mile. The main thing is
to build a road that will stand the
traffic in the particular section OF
the country where 1t is constructed.
The conditions in certain sections may
require a heavy, expensive type OF
road while in other sections less
expensive type may meet all the re-
quirements. It was noticeable in the
recent conference with highway of
iicials that sentiment is growing thru
out the country, even in the newer
sections, in favor of more substantial
roads. The people are-beginnfng to
realize that the expense of maintain
ing the lighter types where the traffic
is heavy is unbearable. 1t might be
we'll, in this connection, to point out
that one of the first steps taken after
the passage of the Federal aid road
act was to suggest to the state high
way departments that, in order to
prevent haphazard action they ar
range to outline a tentative system
-
as the circumstances made 1T possible,
subject. of course, to such changes
as conditions demanded. The high
way departments have been working
on this matter and, in general, the
projects have been developed accord
ingly. In planning and revising their
systems due consideration. II is as
sumed. has been given by the high
way authorities to connecting inter
state roads.

link not to exceed ten miles in length
of any road or roads now or hereafter
used for the transportation of the
United States mails Under the or
iginaI wording of the law Federal
funds could be expended only upon
roads upon which the United States
mails now are or may hereafter be
transported This required def
mite determination in each case of
the actual post route statue of the
road. which necessarily involved de-
lays in many instances. The defini-
tion of the term post roads has now
been changed in such way that very
few important roads will be debarre1
from receiving Federal aid II all the
requirements of the act are complied
with. This feature OF the original
law was the most troublesome to the
highway departments of the various
states. Its modification will go far
toward facilitating the prosecution OF
the work. 1t has already done much
to convince the state authorities OF
the purposes of Congress and the
intention of the Department of Agri-
culture to assist in the resumption
and extension of road building In
every practicable way.
State Dept. Supervision Best
1.-The purpose of the Federal aid
road law is to encourage the construo-
tiOn of roads of substantial nature
by the states. and to provide adequate
safeguards for securing systematic
and economical action.

GROUND PISTON RING USED
TO CLEAN RING GROOVES

An excellent tool for cleaning the
ring grooves in the pistons may be
made by grinding a piece of an old,
piston ring of the proper size to a
chisel edge and fitting it, IL desired,
in a handle of some kind. This tool
will clean the groove of carbon or
other foreign matter, acting on both
bottom and sides at once.

The Ordway new era., 1919-05-16

At this roads meeting there will
be delegates from all the counties and
probably from all the towns between
Pueblo and Great Bend. inclusive. 1t
is up to Ordway to give these visi-
tors good reception and that is what
they will have for the local roads
officials, e. P. johnson, vice presi-
dent. and A. ]. Qean,Fone of the
directors, will have the support of
the Ordway Publicity Club in ex-
tending the proper welcome and en-

The Kansas Colorado boulevard
runs from Great Bend, Kans., to Pu-
eblo. running thru the following
counties:
KANSAS
Barton County.
Rush County
~ Ness County.
Lane County.
Scott County.
Wichita County.
Greeley County.
COLORADO
Kiowa County.
Crowley County.
Pueblo County.
There are ten counties represented
in the association and at the annual
convention held in Scott City. Kans..
last May every county was represent
ed and, from what can be learned,
there will be few II any of the towns
which do not have representatives.
The Kansas-Colorado boulevard
leaves the Santa Fe Trail at Great
Bend and runs west to Pueblo and
shortens the distance frof the east
for tourists by over fifty miles. The
road thru all the coutnies has been
worked and is in good condition ex-
cept in Pueblo county from the Crow
ley county line west to Boone. but
this portion will be worked before
many months. according to the prom
ises of the Pueblo county commits
sioners.
At present trafiic over the boule-
ward Is diverted at North Fowler
over to the Santa Fe trail and this
will be encouraged until the Pueblo
county portion OF the highway is
graded and properly culverted and
bridged.
Long Straight Stretches
The Kansas Colorado boulevard
has some of the longest stretches of
straight road of any of the trails
running into Colorado. There are
places running for miles where there
is not single turn. and with the
road graded up as it is and when
kept properly dragged 1t is truly
road "as fast as the car"
