j. s. FARMING
MACHINES SENT
TO MACEDONIA
Large C~onsignments of I'm
plernents Unloaded at
Saloniki.

Salonfki. May 7.-(By Mai1.)-
Large consignments of American agri-
cultural machinery has been unloaded
here for use in Macedonia. The motor
plows are badly needed on account of
the dearth of horses and oxen which
the Bulgars carried off with them. In
the last six months the American
Red Cross has been instructing Greeks
and Serbs in the use of modern farm
machinery and American methods of
soil improvement and now farmers
are being given the opportunity to buy
implements at advantageous prices.
King Alexander of Greece is much
interested in American farming ma
chinery. Recently a very large con-
signment of agricultural machinery
and implements arrived in Athens
from America. The consignment COM
prised all classes of power machinery
and a considerable number of motor
plows. King Alexander viewed these
plows at the Athens Botanical Gard
ems. At his request two or three of
them were set to work in an adjacent
field, attracting from first to last his
special attention. Later these Amer
lean machines and implements were
exhibited at the Zappeion. the large
exhibition building in Athens used
during the war as a hospital. There
they were visited by landowners,
farmers and the general public.
The Greek government shipped a
number of these motor plows and
other implements to Eastern Mace.
donia and Thessaly to be used for the
spring cultivation. In addition thou
sands of ordinary American plows are
being shipped into Macedonia. To
pull these plows the BulEarians final
~ agreed after much discussion to de-
liver hundred draught animals
per week to the Greeks in recompense
for the, ems of thousands of animals
taken by the Bulgarian army in
Thrace during the war.
Owing to the fact that farmers
throughout the Near East cultivate
only small tracts. small size machin-
cry is in greater demand than the
heavier machines. with the possible
exception Of harvesters. Only large
owners can afford the large blowing
tractors.
The American Red Cross has
brought in about 800 American farm
wagons and later these wagons and
the many small American automobiles
now being used in the Near East will
be sold to the farmers. The Near
East is in greatest need Of means of
transportation and farming machinery
and Americans are now meeting this
demand.

Peerless Now in Position
to Assure Deliveries

For the first time since the intro
duetion of the Peerless two power
range eight three years ago, the
Peerless Motor car company an
nounces that it is in a position to
assure reasonably prompt delivery
of this much sought model.
Never has the Peerless company
been enabled to produce this car in
quantities sufficient to meet the de-
mands of the motoring public. For
the four years prior to the cessation
of hostilities in Europe the Cleve-
land automobile concern has been
deeply involved in the manufacture
of motor trucks for war purposes
and other war materials.
During the first three years rs
per cent of its energies were devoted
to war work. During the fourth year
this was increased to 100 per cent.
No sooner had the armistice been
signed than the work of converting
these energies to the production of
passenger cars began. Following
plans previously outlined this work
progressed rapidly and within 80
days after hostilities were halted
the Peerless made its initial ship
ment of postwar cars.

AUTOMOBILE is
GREAT BOON FOR
ALL SPORTSMEN
Hunter Can Cover Several
Times More Territory Than
in Old Way; Problem
for WardenS.
By GEORGE D. PRATT.
Conservation Commissioner New
York State.

Extensive use of motor cars by
hunters and fishermen. while of tre-
msndous advantage to sportsmen, is
opening up serious new problems
for the conservationist In the old
days It was an important outing and
big undertaking for a party Of
hunters to make a trip into the
woods where game could be found.
1t entaiIed the packing Of tent and
other camping equipment, and usu-
ally meant a stay of week or more
in one spot in order to make the ex-
tensive preparations worth while.
Now a party of hunters with their
guns can climb into an automobile
before dawn, drive SO or 90 miles in
to the woods, and perhaps have a
deer before breakfast. Furthermore,
through the medium of the motor
car, vast stretches of the remote
forests, which formerly acted more
or less in the capacity of sanctuarles
for the preservation of a breeding
stock of game, have been thrown
open to the hunter
The number of aut mobiles now
used by sportsmen can only be ap-
preciated by one who has counted
the cars on one of the main high
ways leading into some such famous
hunting ground as the Adirondack
mountains. In the open season a
constant stream passes along such
highways filled with men whose cos
tune is unmistakably that Of the
hunter. Were we to follow these
cars on their way we should find
them stopping at favorite hunting
grounds, sometimes hating at the
cabin of a guide and some drawn
up along the roadside at the edge
of the wood.
For Small Game.
It is not only the privileged hunt
err of big game who makes use OF
the automobile for sport; the rabbit
hunter or the partridge hunter
equally with the deer hunter, now
relies upon his car to carry him to
the hunting ground. In this way the
motor car is innocently responsible
for the killing of more game than
was possible before its advent In

SELLS LARGEST
/. RIB-TREAD TIRE
CASING ON ROW
KeIIy-SpringfieId Tire Co.
Business Grows Here So
That Quarters Are
Enlarged.

The Importance and popularity Of
cord tires in the automobile world
has inspired the Kelly-Springheid
Tire company to put out the largest
rib-tread casing on the market, says
G. w. Hiett, branch manager Of the
Omaha station at 2s78-S0 Harvey
street.
Motorists know the full value OF
specially constructed cord tire
these days, and the middle west
has made such demand of the kel.
ly-Springheld tires that we are COM
PEELED to enlarge our branch quar-
ters," he stated. The new house ex-
emplifies up-to-date methods of the
tire business, even to the minor de-
tails of a service station.
A complete stock of all kinds Of
Kelly-Springheld tires and tubes
are kept in an absolutely heat-proof,
moisture-proof depot in the build
ing, thus eliminating any possible
chance of deterioration.
The Kelly-Springheld service sta
ton has been made efficient by Mr..
Hiett in that it is the most COM
pletely equipped station in the west.
Service cars are always ready to
make runs to any part of the city.
In the hard-rubber tire depart
ment, the branch carries the only
non-skid tire in the middle west.
Prospects for the usage of hard
rubber tires for trucks are enormous
in this territory. Mr.. Hiett says.
Under his personal direction,
powerful COMPRISING machine for
the installation Of hard-rubber tires
on rims, has been established in the
