THERE WERE SEVEN
 ECLIPSES IN 1917
CClevcland Plain Dealer

A romance of old wars might make much of a year that recorded seven eclipses. solar and lunar. EClipses counted for much in the dim years when fighting was mems most import ant business. Yet no one who lived in those days would have known that there were seven eclipses; so, perhaps. the heavenly portents would have eX- erted less than their due influence on human superstition.
 The year of 1917 saw seven eclipses the maximum possible number Some of them were visible only i'm remote re- gions. none of them caused any great stir of interest. The partial eclipse of civilization by Prussianism was holding the worlds attention.
 The last previous seven eclipse year was 1895. It was a bad year for Aus France. It was the year of AusterlitZ. of the French occupation Of Vienna. In 1905. as in 1917, the people were too busy watching the war to give much heed to the celestial whimsicalities.
 There is nothing instructive in any analogy between 1895 and 1917. It is though. worthy of note that the next seven. .bclipse year will be in 1885. It is only IS years distant The men of today are making certain that 1885 shall destroy the warlike traditions of the multiplicity of eclipses. When next the sun and earth and moon play hide and seek to the extent of their limited possibilities, there must be a world at peace.

First Truck t0 Gross lRhine Had
 Goodyear Tires

That the first army truck to cross the Rhine into Germany was equipped with Goodyear tires is in- dicated in a letter just received L. C Smith, a soldier in our army of occupation in Germany, serving in the truck unit of our forces. Young Smith, who, at the time of his response to his country's call, was employed by the Lincoln Highway association, enjoys the unique distinction of having driven the first U. s. army truck across the famous river of song and story, the point of crossing having been at small town called 5opard.
 He states in his letter that evil

"Tell Goodyear that their tires were the first on the Rhine" was the injunction contained in his letter to his former employers.

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Keeping Highways Dragged
Work Ia Appreciated.

The secret of good roads is for every
farmer to do his part in keeping them
dragged, according to the Lyman Coun-
ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent
Lewallen writes further: "Road drag
ging fits in about the best Of any work
on the farm, for a fellow can drag
for few hours when 1t is too wet to
get into the field, and he certainly ap-
preciates having it when it is time to
go to town with the wagon or the auto.
Farmers who have dragged the roads
have the thanks of all other farmers in
the country and the praise of all Wis
itors. But the roll of honor should be
increased.
1T seems queer that SO easily con-
structed an implement as a road drag
can create such wonders on heavy
roads. The best way to convince your
self is to drag your own stretch Of
road. If you have already dragged
1t every farmer who has gone over 1t
is talking about it and wishing to
goodness that you had gone on couple
Of miles farther"
