ALL FAMILIES
WANT AN AUTO
Machines Have Rapidly DeVeI-
oped From "Freak" Stage to
Absolute Necessity.
Large FACTOR IN PROGRESS
Production Has Increased by Leaps
and Bounds Until Today There
Are More Than 100000 Motor
Cars in the United States.

When the first h0rseless carriage
appeared we looked 1t over curiouSly'
nudged each other knowingly, MADE
tocular remarks and went about our
business wondering what those crazy
inventors would do next. Thus began
the evolution of what is today our
third greatest industry. From the
freak stage, the automobile developed
into a rich mans plaything.
Finally, after many vicissitudes, we
were forced to recognize it as pos
sible commercial proposition.
From a possibility to probability
and soon to certainty-the auto
mobile quickly arrived at its proper
position in the scheme of things. And
that position Is an exalted one.
All Families Want Cars.
The automobile today is SO effec'
tive factor in the progress and hap
piness of humanity that it is every
family's ambition to possess one.
Logically, its production has in
creased by leaps and bounds, until to-
day there are more than 100000 au-
tomobiles in the United States alone.
They have become a national neces'
sity, employed in every avenue OF ln-
dustry-to save time and widen zones
Of trade.
They have brought fresh air and
the wonders Of the open country to
multitudes, lessening distances and
promoting closer fellowship.
That, in brief, Is the past and pres
ent Of the automobile.
SWhat, then, Of the future?
We hear much less than formerly
Of the approach of so-called satura
lion period-a time when 50 many
cars will have been built that SHARP
curtailment Of output must come.
Industry in Infancy.
The more we reflect, investigate ant
analyze, the more our common sense
tells us that the building OF cars Il
still an infant industry.
In the first instance, we take int
account that which we all know to b.
true; namely, that he who once own
a car will contrive to own one as lon
as he has the price.
That means, in round figures, tina
more than million automobiles mus
be built this year to replace those tina
win wear out. This is on the cor
servative basis that the average ca
has q useful life of five years.
The future Of the automobile
something for succeeding generation
to worry about--maybe-but ne is
rank pessimist who will say toda
that it is anything but rosy.

ration should be reduced One-half.
Whenever it is possible, growing
chicks should be allowed free range
so that they may obtain as much nat
ural green food, such as grass, alfalfa
and clover, as they need. Green feed
is an excellent tonic for chicks, and
when they cannot obtain it on range
such substitutes as SprOuted oats, cut
clover, alfalfa, mGngel beets or cab
bage should be fed daily.
Clean, Fresh Water Needed.
The Importance of clean, fresh wa
ter cannot be overestimated. In very
hot weather fresh water should be
provided twice daily, and whenever
possible the water should be placed
in the shade. The water pan should
be cleaned every day before fresh
water is added. On many farms,
where both chicks and larger fowls
have access to the same range, Wire
covered frame should be made to pro-
tect the feed Intended for the growing
chicks. An opening Of about four
inches Is left at the bottom Of the
frame so that the chicks may run un'
der to get their feed.
An abundance of free range should
be provided if the chicks are to make
rapid, vigorous growth. Combining
them to limited range not only In
creases the chances of disease and loss
of yigor, but also tends to increase
the cost of feeding. Chickens on free

as worms and bugs, which help to re

A Catfish Story.

An old cOlored man at Jefferson City
caught twO-pound satfish and was so
well satisfied with his skill as a fisher
man that he lay down and took nap,
with the fish beside him. Another
moke came along soon after, picked up
the fish and left half-pound one in
its place. When the colored man woke
up the first thing his eyes sought was
the fish, and it took him several Sec
onds to realize what had happened.
Then, turning the fish over and scru-
tinizing it very closely, he exclaimed

Classics Lose French Favor.

Changes in the system of examina-
ton for the French degree of licent-
late of letters are under consideration
at the ministry Of public instruction.
Some faculties consider that Latin or
Greek should be obligatory for all can
didates, while others think that class
les might be omitted in the case of
candidates who do not undertake to
use the degree for obtaining post
as teacher.
Such a degree would meet the re-
quirements of American students, who
are now very numerous in France.

spray, it is only necessary to put a
nozzle on the hose and open the valve

which is compressed by pumping the
water into the barrel, forces the wa

thus making an effective spray. All
these operations can be performed by

inferior delivery methods.
The farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling of his product is
a vital consideration. For instance,
take the case of the dairy farmer who
now makes two deliveries a day with
his motor truck in less time than he
used to be able to make three deliv-
cries a week. His milk is sweeter, the
price is higher. And SO it goes all
along the line, the motor truck has
proved not only its speed, but it's econ
omy.
Increased Use of Trucks.
There can be no doubt in the mind
of anyone who makes a serious study
of transportation conditions as they ex-
list the country over, but that the next
few years will see an amazing increase
in the use of trucks. Because speed,
economy and adaptability to varied
work viii be vital considerations it
seems certain that the greatest de-
mand will be for moderately light-duty
vehicles.

Shade and protection from the glare
and heat of Old Sol mean better and
more cheaply matured pullets, more
summer eggs from the laying fowl and
a general abundance of hen happiness.
Plenty of shade should be provided,
especially for growing chicks, in order
that they may thrive and prosper dur
ing warm weather. Shelter furnished
by plants or trees is much cooler than
that afforded by buildings or other ar
tificial means. Chicks allowed to
range in orchards will not only find
ample shade and green food, but will
benefit the trees as well as themselves
by destroying insects and worms.
Corn or sunfowers will help to pro-
vide the necessary shade, or artificial
protection may be obtained by sup

or branches of trees few feet above
the ground.
Summer Calls for Care.
Although chicks may be Matched
from strong, vigorous stock and care

Growing chicks should be provided
