IF ANIMALS COULD TALK

If animals could talk they would be able to tell us first hand of events that happened hundred years or more ago.
 The Russian eagle for instance, that lowered over the freezing, famishing soldiers of Napoleon while they were retreating from Moscow in 1872, still may be living, for eagles frequently pass the century mark.
 Crocodiles, which were in the big swamps of the West Indies when the first explorer set foot on the islands, are basking there yet, and in the deep ocean still are whales that frequent ed the coast of France when Joan of Arc was a child and when, in 1415, Henry V of England landed in Nor mandy with a great army and seized Honfeur. These whales, if they could talk and cared to, could tell us that in those days there were large whale fisheries along the Basque coast-in fact, pretty generally in the Gulf Of Gascony. For whales live several cen turies, while elephants rarely pass one hundred years; but carp and crows sometimes live two centuries.
 Speaking of birds, we may recall that parrots and swans often become centenarians; and it is not unusual for a long-beaked heron to reach 60. Geese and pelicans live half a century. The humble sparrow frequently sees 40, while pigeons, canaries, storks and peacocks often reach 20. Cartridges, pheasants, nightingales and larks live from fifteen to eighteen years.

NOT GREAT LOSS TO GERMANY

The loss of Alsace-L0rraine and of the Saar fields would not be very seri- ous to Germany if production in the other fields were normal. The Saar fields are now producing about twen- weight thousand tons per day and the French are experiencing none of the difficulties that attend the opera tions of the German mines. The Saar output can easily be brought to 20 million tons per annum, and the out put of the mines of Alsace- Lorraine to million tons. Twenty-Five million tons subtracted from 275 million tons would not represent very serious loss to Germany, but 25 million add ed to 40 million tons would represent an enormous increment to France, ex- ceeding her import of 1913. The coal of the Saar is of excellent quality for furnace and coke ovens. The loss to Germany rests rather upon geograph- ical than quantitative considerations. The coal from the Saar went to the industries of the Upper Rhine and to Bavaria; and if these are to be sup piled by Dortmund, longer haul, this would represent a definite impost upon the industries of these sections.
 The future situation may be sum- med up in one sentence: If German coal, production recovers its normal capacity, the loss of the Saar and Alsace- Lorraine may be regarded as negligible; if German coal production remains in it's present situation, the loss of the Saar and Alsace-Lorraine mines is still negligible, because the situation will be so bad that it could not be any worse.

HOW TO PUT LARGE
 TIRES ON THE RIMS

In the application of cord truck tires the tire should be allowed to drop down evenly until the valve stem is reached, when the valve stem is pressed down sideways and toward the end of the flap. The stem is held in this position, taking care that when the tire slips down the rest of the way the valve stem does not catch in the locking groove. During this oper- ation valve cap should be put on the stem to protect the threads. The later types of rims are made with valve stem slots to facilitate applica- tion of the tire.

UNNECESSARY EXCITEMENT

TIRE CHAINS MUST
 NOT BE TOO TIGHT

In applying tire chains never use a tool to draw them so tight that they can not creep. If the cross grip can not move to new position on the tread every time it touches the ground it soon cuts deeply into the rubber, and then fabric, seriously weakening the strength of the casing.

trucks as the next largest manufac- turer.
 Republic Trucks are particularly adapted to the special requirements of the farm. They combine every feature necessary or desirable for farm use.
 Republic Trucks make it possible for the farmer to deliver whatever he has to sell to the best market. The farmer who owns Republic is not restricted to the markets within a radius of six or seven miles of his home. He can make his deliveries distance of twenty miles or farther, quickly and economically, and obtain the best prices for the products of his farm.
 Republic Trucks are profitable investment on any farm. They are built with the extra strength and durability that insure their working day in and day out in any kind of weather, on any kind of road. They are easy-riding and easy to drive and care for. Rough country roads, deep mud, steep hills only serve to show the power and dependability of these rugged trucks.

Republic Trucks are quality trucks. Regardless of price you can not buy better quality or more satis- factory truck service.
 Republic quality has special sig nificance to the buyer of hauling power. It enables him to buy, at fair price, motor trucks that will prove fully dependable for every hauling requirement.
 All Republic Trucks are designed by engineers who specialize on trucks and truck problems. They have studied the trucking requirements of every kind of hauling. They know just how trucks should be built.
 That is great tribute to Republic quality and another reason why you can have the fullest confidence in Re public Trucks. A
 Republic builds nothing but trucks and builds them so we'll that they have created greater demand than any other truck. The first Re public was built in 1913-yet within five years Republic was producing and selling more than twice as many
