One Year OF Peace
Progressive Farmer

It has been just year this week
since the beginning of the armistico
which ended the lighting between
the Allies and Germany. For all
practical purposes therefore, we have
had a year of peace, and 1t is a fittiag
time to check up and see what prog
ress the twelve months have brought
us, and what fruits of victory are yet
apparent.
The divine right of kings" has in
deed been destroyed. Never again
while the wor d stands will the soY-
erign OF great civilized, educace Il
people bot.. that he has ilv!ne
right to impose on them whatever
form of government he chooses. The
world war ended the right OF one
man to rule a nation-ended it as
definitely as the Civil War did the
right of one man TO own another.
Here and there among a few back
ward peoples autocratlc kings may
linger yet little longer. but their
day is over.
The "Czar of all the Russias"
whose word in 1914 was law over
one seventh OF the habitable land of
this earth, the Car at whose word
men and women who opposed his
will were driven to living death in
far-away Slberia-that Car himself
now sleeps In a dishonored grave
among his once dlshonored victims.

in 1914 dreamed of an empire great

reign with uncurbed Willie today

Emperor of Austria is fugitive. The
Sultan of Turkey Is laughingstock.
Those foolish people who said It
didn't matter which side won the
world war. that 1t was only a selfish
struggle for territory and meant
nothing more. have been discredited.

Demand for Planting Seed
Attention Farmers:

Attention Farmers:
Having recently callfi your at
tention to the fact that cotton seed
for next years crop are going TO be
very scarce, we wish to emphasize
that fact by telling you that we are
getting three times as many listings
to buy seed as we are to sell them.
Do not sell good seed suitable for
planting to gins or mills. but store
them away as you are likely to get
more for them and at the same time
render your fellow farmer a valuable
service by selling him good seed for
planting.
How to proceed to sell your cot
ton seed:
First. put them in a dry barn or
house.
Second, write to T. S. Mnter. d.
rector OF the Bureau OF Markets.
Austin. and ask him to list them
free In the Market Journal and re-
peat this request monthly until all
youE seed are sold. He does not
handle the money nor the seed, but
simply finds you buyer and his
services are free.
The press has very kindly given
publication to our former letter and
you should take advantage OF the OPP
portunity Of getting more for your
planting seed and at the same time
render other farmets good service
by selling them your cotton seed for
planting purposes.
Yours truly.

INITIATE TIRES ON HOT DAYS
Terrific Driving Necessary to Generate
Enough Heat to Raise Air Pres
sure in Tire.

Motorists should again be warned
against the notion that the heat of a
summer day expands the air inside a
tire to such an extent that the tires do
not need to be blown up to the same
point as in winter. Experiments show
that it takes terrific driving at racing
speed for considerable period to gen
crate enough heat to raise the air pres
sure in a tire five or six pounds. The
expansion in a car driven at an or
binary rate on hot summer day is SO
slight that no allowance should be
made for it when the tire is pumped
up.
Motorists would do we'll in hot
weather to test the air pressure in
their tires every few days to see that
the leakage of air has not reduced the
pressure to the point where the tire
will suffer harm.

One thing every automobile owner
should learn is how to stop a skid.

Do not neglect the differential just

Driving over rough roads at the
slowest possible speed is not always
the best plan.

LEFT TO THE IMAGINATION
Thackerays Question as to "NeVer
Was" Speech Would Seem an
Easy One to Answer.

The two great English nOvelists,
Thackeray and Dickens, although
there was at one time GOODNESS be-
tween them, were generous admirers
Of each others genius. They left obi
Gus comparisons to foolish and petty
partiSanS, of whom there were plenty
in the following of each. But Thack-
cray according % an anecdote recent
ly related, once admitted to his Ameri-
can friend, the eloquent Congressman
Lamar, a little touch of pique concern
ing the public estimation of his own
ability and that of Dickens in a minor
art. The two were driving together to
a banquet of tie Literary fund.- at
which Dickens, who was an admirable
after-dinner orator, was 20 preside.
Lamar" said Thackcray, "they say
l can't speak. But if | want to, | can
speak every bit as well as Dickens,
and I'm going to show you tonight
that | can speak almost as well as you
can :"
But when the moment arrived in the
course Of the proceedings at which to
make good his assertion, it came, and
passed; and ThacG ray uttered never
word. When the banquet was over
;rnd the friends were returning, both
silent, in their cab, Thackeray turned
suddenly to his companion.

A good way to add years to the serv-
Ice life of a motortruck and to re-
duce expensive luyups is to make sure
that it never lacks fabrication. There
are between fifty and hundred points
on a motortruck which require mdi-
vidual fabrication attention. UnfOrtu-
nately 1t is not possible to arrange
the chassis so that all of these are
to be fabricated at the same time
since the parts represented by this
array nearly all work at different
speeds and under wide variations of
load. Every manufacturer cOnscien-
tiously supplies purchasers with charts
showing just where, with what and
when to attend to each fabrication
job. Yet it seems impossible for most
organizations to get their mechanics
and drivers to keep the chassis oiled
