sSnftiOn-L Lighting Query.

NJ. II. asks: On a Ford car, which is
the better arrangement to operate
the ignition from the magnetic and the
lights from a dry-cell battery or to
use the battery for ignition and run
the lights from the magnetic?
Answer: Operating all lights from
dry cells would prove rather eXpen-
sive. if you used them more than very
sparingly. and you would find stor-
age battery a more economical source
of current. Operating the regular vi
brating-coil equipment from dry cells
would also use up batteries very fast.
and if you wish to use battery igni-
tior you had better install one of
the special timer-distributer, single
coil outfits. which are very economical
of current. Probably you would find
that running the lights from a stor-
age battery and the ignition from the
magnetic would be the more satisfac-
tory method. everything considered.
although reserving the magnetic for
lighting and installing an improved
ignition system supplied from dry
cells should give you fine results.

scratches unless they are removed

with a gentle current OF water is
the safest way. The finish should
never be rubbed If there is any dirt

WILL 1T PAY?

VIII it pay to buy Iowa land at
$500, $3.50 or $500 an acre for
farming purposes? In other. words,
will l make a profit over and above
ment when l invest in such way?
Some say it can be done. Some
emphaticaliy declare that good
profit can be made from land at this
price. And It can, but not by the
ordinary general farming methods,
Iowa land has not been exploited SO
far that there is not prohtap1e Ter
tility left in it.
Iowa, while practicing manuring
and care of land to a greater or less
extent still has much to learn on
the subject of intensive cultivation
Perhaps many valuable lessons were
learned last year during the food
production drive rj There Their ,id is n lots
ductive, there is lots Of waste.
Many acres of fertile land is an
nually lying idle for want of tile
drain through it. Many acres OF
stump land grow to grass when they
codld produce corn IT a few STICKS
of dynamite were used. Many more
acres could be brought into product
to the fences. PERHAPS it is nice to
have good headland to turn on in
blowing corn, but for the couple Of
jags of hay that we get from the
headland, think of the corn that
could be raised on that strip.
President Pearson of Iowa Col
lege, a member of the commission to
Europe, says that American farm
ers have not yet learned the lessons
of intensive cultivation.
The small European carries his
land with him the same as we or
dinarily take our household effects.
When small farmer moves, he
takes the upper eight or ten inches
of soil and transplants it on his new
land. The lessons Of land values
have been learned there. Such
measures are not necessary IN
America but there are lessons to be
learned, lessons which may vary for
each individual farm, lessons which
are problems in themselves, lessons
which no book can teach.
Iowa land will pay. Purebred
stock. proper kinds and amounts OF
machinery and good knowledge Of
the land and it's probabilities will
help. However, when land sells as
high as $500 an acre, it has to raise
good consistent crops and be most
ideal in order to net interest on the
investment and profit at the same
time -Winterset News.

WHY CAN THIS be-,

The three men who did the most
to win the great war for human
liberty are the most fiercely attacked
in their, own countries. Had any one
of these three made serious mis-
take the war would have been lost
and the whole world would have
been under the domination of Ger
man aristocracy and militarism.
Several cablegrams have told of the
danger that confropts Lloyd
George. 1t is said that he may be
thrown out Of power at any time by
a threatened adverse vote in the
house of commons. Attacks are
made on Clemenceau, and although
lying wounded with bullet in his
lungs, he has had to fight to main
tain his leadership. The attacks
upon Wilson every one in this coun-
try is familiar with.
The attacks upon the American
congress are just as incCmprehens-
ible. 1t created an army Of 4,000,-
600 men within two years and
transported 100000 of them
across the Atlantic. 1t was the best
equipped and best supplied army
taking part in the war. It's medical
and hospital service was far super
Tor. 1t supplied the funds, though
they ran up into figures that were
counted by billions instead of mill
lions. and yet that congress is con-
tinually attacked. The blame for
the failure of some legislation is
placed upon the majority, when the
defeat was wholly due to the fill
clustering tactic Of the minority

Ambition.

Ambition needed in our game if
you would win success or fame. The
rent without it seems clod, con-
cent his treadmill way to plod,
while men who have the splendid
spur fill all the air with smoke and
fur Ambition, when it's safe and
sane, controlled by wisdom's curb
and rein, is necessary to the guy who
hopes to reach the places high. But
if you say, I'll never stop until l
reach the cleaning top, regardless
always of the rights of other hopeful
strivings twight, perhaps you'll
reach the top and then discover
you're abhored of men. Id build

played an honest game. To push
himself to higher rank he'd rob his
granny's savings bank. To gain a
foot on other men, he'd swipe his
mothers setting hen. His thoughts
are always of himself; to gain re-
nown or gather pelf, he'd push a
cripple from the road or touch

a lonely skate who hoped to be SUI
premely great; the rights of men he
laughted to scorn, and trod upon
the nearest corn. What mattered it

G. O. p. FIl4IBUS

prestige or in the public's confidence
by reason Of this show of petty par
tisanship, although, like every other
citizen, he must have been panied
for the sake Of those who inspired
it.
In the list of bills which this re-
publican obstruction prevented from
enactment were several that are
vital tosa quick and thorough recon-
struction of the nations commerce
and industry; to the employment of
labor and to fitting provision for
returning soldiers and sailors. Some
Of these measures, such as that con-
templating homesteads for soldiers,
and that authorizing the formation
Of a regular army to relieve the men
overseas, were of the utmost i'm
portance to millions of citizens who
had deserved the best, not the worst,
of congress.
Those republican leaders who con-
cocted and conducted the tilibuster
against legislation which the whole
country has been exnecting and urg-
ing have assumed grave RESPONSE
bility The bills were before them;
there was a majority in their favor;
there was the admission, even Of the
republicans themselves-by their
voice and votes-that they were in
dispensable to the government and
private enterprise. Yet, to crafty
a spite against the chief executive
they failed in their duty as legisla-
tors and worked harm to every inter
est, public and private.
