But it was a slow process. Some

GIANT CORD TIRES
 MAY BE REPAIRED

Another myth which has gripped the popular fancy, to the effect that the repair of cord tires is not practical, has been exploded by the announce ment by instructors in the Firestone Tire Repair School, Akron, O., that graduates from the school are taught to repair fabric, cord and giant pneu- matic tires with equal facility.
 Certificates of proficiency in the re- pair of tires are being awarded stu dents from various sections of the country each week. Diplomas are given only to those completing the | course satisfactorily, after having passed written examination.
 Announced purposes of the school are to improve the quality of tire re- pairing, to give men who contemplate entering the tire repair business the | advantage of training based upon years of experience, and to permit men al ready so employed to introduce into their businesses the latest and most improved methods Of repairing
 One of the most important accom- plishments of the instructors is said to be the perfection of a practical method of repairing expensive giant pneumatic cord tires, which are coming into such general favor for trucks on account of their cushioning properties.
 From two tothree weeks is sufficient for the student to gain a rudimentary knowledge of the work, but instructors advise most students to spend from four to five weeks on this course in order to become thoroughly proficient in the repair of tires. No tuition fee is charged, although a deposit is re- qui~ed to cover possible loss or break age of tools.
 Courses of study include mounting and changing tires of all types, sec tional repair of fabric tires, sectional repair of cord and pneumatic trucl tires, retreading, tube repairing, tire
 troubles and their causes, proper care
 of tires, use of accessories and repair materials, repair shop production, and
 cost methods.
 Prospective students are advised 1T
 a school bulletin that the school al ready is filled to capacity, that there is waiting list of candidates and that
 applications for enrolment may be made through the Firestone brancl most convenient to the applicant.

 At this time when every farmer is centering his thoughts on one thing increased production-when the gov ernment is taking a hand to help iii the movement it might be well to give careful consideration to tractors, their design and adaptability to the farm of this territory.
 There being no question anymore about the success of tractor farming, it presents the only practicable means to increase crop production, solve the labor problem and decrease costs, the thing to be considered is which is the best tractor to buy. We will view the tractor only from the farmers view point, while 1t will be more or less in harmony with that of the manufac- turer, as it is to his interest to put on the market the machine that is de- manded.
 There are four things a farmer should satisfy himself about in con- sidering tractor. First, reliability and experience of the part of the manu- facturer; second, permanency of the company; third, quality; forth, ser vice.
 Then the farmer should require that the tractor be dependable, suitable for both draw-bar and belt work, easy to operate, economical in the use of fuel and in getting a serviceable machine al a low cost. For the tractor to be both serviceable and cheap, it must be sim pie. It must have few parts to get out of order, these parts to be easily ac- cessible so that the farmer may noi only understand them, but enable him to keep them in good condition. Accessibility is an indication o1 careful design. A tractor should be SC designed that the farmer himself car make any necessary adjustments ant repairs and do it at home-that i should not be necessary to hire skilled mechanic or haul the tractor away to a machine shop when adjust ments or repairs are needed.
 To give the best service a tracto should have such features as adjust able crankshaft bearings, removable in ner cylinder walls, and accessibl, transmission; should be of low speed heavy duty type, with direct drive double spur gear transmission an drive to both rear wheels A direc drive will do away with all the trou blesome intermediate transmission gear worry and expense and save lot of power.
 The most successful and economica tractors today are burning kerosene 0 distillate and a tractor should b chosen that burns these fuels. Wit duplex gasifier all the fuel is con stunned, allowing no waste and none t escape into the cylinder, which cause trouble.
 The last but not the least importan by any means, is the adaptability C the tractor under consideration handle work at the belt equally as we as at the drawbar. The transmissio

FARE YOU IN THE PRIME OF
 fIEE7v

How often have you been startled | the last twelve months, on taking up the morning paper, to see the notice of the death, just i'll what should have been the prime of life, of some we'll ! known citizen, some friend, some one who we thought was enjoying perfect health? A large portion of these deaths were caused by what physi- clans call "degenerative diseases" namely Bright's disease, heart failure, | hardening of the arteries and apoplexy
 These degenerative diseases are in sidious in their onset, and are usually the result of habitual daily disregard of the principles of right living. How frequently one hears of some prom inent man who considered himself in the prime of physical condition, ap- plying for increased life insurance only to learn that he had crippled heart or had premature hardening of the arteries, or chronic kidney disease. After attending the funeral of some such friend of about your own age
 have you ever inquired of your fam | fly physician why there are so many sudden deaths in people who should | be just in the prime of life, or, to be
 more specific, have never inquired of your physician the nature and cause of Bright's disease of the kidneys, heart failure, hardening of the arteries, and
 apaplexy.
 If you are abnornally stout, and you find that the obesity is on the in
 crease, has it ever occurred to you that there must be some significance in the
 attitude of insurance people towards overweight.

should be simple. The sliding frame eliminates the need of an intermediate gear, intermediate shaft and bearings. It eliminates a second clutch and makes it possible for the tractor to drive direct from the crankshaft in either high or low speed gear at both the drawbar and belt. This delivers the power from the motor to the draw bar or belt with the least possible loss
 In brief. this gives a foundation for the tractor buyer to work on. There are tractors that will meet these rigid requirements and the farmer should demand machine of this type to get the best, most dependable and econo- mical service

Money boxes to encourage thrift among the penny wise are ancient and popular institutions. A dic- tionary of 1885 mentions money boxes of pottcr's clay wherein boys put their money to keepc," and doubtless the thrifty child of all ages had his money box of some sort or another. Of late years metal has come into use, but the writer has recollections of an elaborate earth enware tlatched cottage, into which the money was dropped through a slit in the roof, which only infinite patience could. hit again when it came to wriggling the money out.
