In this connection. tn" news res ceiycd from Washington that southern congressman had added an amends ment to the sundry civil bill, provid- ing that the embargo on shipments of cotton to foreign countries should be removed effective July 1 created a had impression here. Southern cot ton interests have been working to have this embargo removed immcdi- atcly. and If this cannot be done, they would rather have congress take no action at all. If the embargo rc- mains in force until July 1, the re- moVal of the embargo at that time will be of no benefit whatever to the southern farmer who wishes in the meanwhile to sell his low gfade cot ton To splnpCrS in all parts of the world.

MECHANICAL CHANGES
N AUTOS FEW FOR 1919
No Startling Innovations This
Spring Like Those Seen in
Recent Years.

All reports from the automobile
manufacturing centers point out that
a feature Of the new year is the
almost total lack Of mechanical inno-
vations or changes in construction of
cars as a whole. In past years each
springtime period was marked by
something more or less startling as
applied to automobiles.
Percy Rowe, general manager of
the Henderson-Rowe Auto Company,
Coles and Hupmobile distributors,
said: "rhe automobile manufacturing
business has settled down into staid
ways as compared to those it travelled
three and four years ago. The war
was one reason. 1t did not develop
anything fundamentally wrong with
motor cars. 1t may
have brought out a few weaknesses.
but taken as q whole there was moth
ing brought about that required
radical changes in design of engineer
ing principles.
"As an example, the Cole aero
eight might be cited. The Cole
Motor Car Company is now entering
upon it's fifth year as builders of
eight-cylinder cars exclusively. Many
Cole cars were In use by the United
States Army in France, and they gave
such satisfaction in the face Of the
hardest use to which automobiles ever
were subjected that 1919 sees the
same standards and principles that
were in use before the war still en-
bodied in the product"

Saves Time for Farmer.

Take first the automobile. With this
modern timeSaver at his command the
farmer twenty miles from town is as
close to his markets as the one five
miles from town who depends upon his
horse-drawfr vehicle. And with the
shortening of distance which consumes
a great part of his lost time in getting
back and forth has come the reduc-
tioh in the long hours thus formerly
expended
This gives the modern farmer all of
the helpful advantages o. farm life,
coupled with 4 closer touch with the
city, where he finds market both for
buying and selling. 1t is now an cas-
ier matter to dispose Of perishable
product at a greater profit and for the
farmer to do his buying at times when
lower prices prevail.
With the automobile the whole So
cial and educational life of the farmer
has taken an added. pleasure. Friends
are now close at hand, schools, col
leges and music lessons are an easier
matter. and for these reasons the
farmers children are not SO easily
tempted to leave the farm for the
glamour Of the city.

Death of Josef Christiaens
Brings Call for Race Part
ner for Chassagne.

Josef Christiaens, a former favorite
of King Albert, King of Belgium, who
twice raced in America, is dead.
Christians. veteran of many thrill
ing races, gave his life in traffic
accident. According to advices from
Wolverhampton the accident that cost
the life of Christiaens occurred when
he was testing out one Of the Sun
beams for the 500-mile Liberty
Sweepstakes at Indianapolis May 81.
He pulled out too far to the side of
the road and the car turned over.
Now Louis Coatalen, managing di-
rector of the Sunbeam factory, is
seeking a team mate for Jean
Chassagne. There is only one d liver

2,7oo,ooo Cars Owned by Farmers.

Every country ldlF ana every mar
ket day tells plainly who is buying
the automobiles, for in the rural COM
muhities surrounding the 100000
farms in the country 100000 pas
senger cars we're owned and operated
by these farmers or by dwellers in the
rural communities adjacent to them
during the last year.
There are countless other ways in
which farmers are profiting through
the use Of the automobile. But we
must consider the producing end of
the farm business.
Tractor Plays Big Part.
On the producing side of the farm
ers' business the tractor has sprung
into prominence with the call for
more intensive methods. During the
war the whole world looked to the
farmer, and still looks to him, to cul-
tivAte his land in a more intensive
way than ever before.
Even before this we had realized
the part the tractor would play in re-
lieving the tremendous burden of
farm labor. However, we cast about
to secure more than simply horse

Moline Plow Company were combined

built in the winter of 1861 for
Capt. Rickenbacker and Christiaens
to campaign America in 1917. If the
country had not entered the war the
pair would have had probably the
fastest cars in the game that season.
When the United States took hand
Capt. Rickenbacker went into the
service, and Coatalen decided not to
send them over until the war was
over. Christiaens was anxious that
Capt. Rickenbacker be his teammate

Death Similar to Strang's.

The accident that caused Christiaens
his life was similar to that which re-
moved Louis Strang, one of the early
stars. back in 1911. In both instances
the driver met traffic on the road and
turned out to avoid, only to be crush
ed under his car, after having innu-
merable hairbreadth escapes on the
track and in road competition. The
accident occurred on February 25.
Frank Bill the diminutive English
man who rode with Christiaens on his
visits to America, was with the Bel
gian and escaped with severe in
juries He will recover and expects
to accompany the cars to America.
Bill and Christiaens were a peculiar
pair Christiaens was the largest man
in weight and stature to race in
America and Bill was the smallest.

for the rail birds. Bill was a teeto-

THE EXPERTS SAY.

The car owner should be careful to
keep the exterior of the engine clean
as well as the interior. Dirt. grease
and general filth act as insulators.
preventing the metal from throwing
off heat into the air. Incidentally.
this rule regarding cleanliness applies
to other parts. such as rear axle.
brake mechanism, etc. When mud is
allowed to remain on brake rod
clerises and other similar parts, it
soaks up the oil designed to lubricate
the points. which become dry and
wear excessively. All such parts as
this must be cleaned regularly and
have fresh oil applied to them.
In fitting a new carburetor be sure
that there is no looseness to cause vi
bration, because if there is a broken
fange will be the inevitable result.
If vibration is present small iron
bracket should be installed from a
nut on the engine frame to the in

John N. Willys. president Of the Will

From the time when natives. plowed
the ground with pointed sticks, drawn
by either oxen or men, farmers work
has been revoultionized by one inven-
tion after another. The reaper, the
power thrasher and the cultivator have
all had their part--and now with the
advantages brought about with the
two last additions to the farmers

tractor, the modern country gentleman
holds more than ever the enriable place

However. he was not Of the same
opinfen. and Chassagne was picked
to take his place.
Now that Christiaens has gone close
followers of the game are figuring
that perhaps it will cause Capt. Rick
enbacker to take the wheel at In
dianapolis as personal favor to his
friend Coata1en and do something
with the car in which Christiaens
was so much interested. Coatalen can
get other European drivers, but would
rather have Rickenbacker.

Roads Teen With Autos.

Automobiles today can be observed
on any country road. They may be
discovered carrying milk, butter, eggs,
garden truck and live stock to the
markets or making a quick run to
town for repair parts. In former days
q breakdown might have delayed a
thrashing cfewaof several hands IN the
busy season for. half a day or ilsger.
Now It Is . matter of an hour or 30.
And this time is vital to the farmer in
the busy season when delay may sp..l
his entire crop.
During the turbulent period jus,
passed IT has been the job OF the Amer
ican farmer to feed the entire world.
And the demand for his produce is
not likely to see any decrease. We
can therefore hope to find ever greater
application on the part Of the farmers
Of mechanical farming methods, for
