MAInEIRs CREDIT GOOD.

There are several reasons for con-
graduation on the sale Of the coun-
TVS road bonds, not the least Of
which Is the manner in which the
sale was conducted by the County
Court. In view Of the fact that call
money in financial centers is de-
manding and receiving anywhere
from 10 to 30 per cent, that L s.
bonds are selling SO that they net
nearly 6 per cent, Il Is remarkable
that the county bonds should sell for
a figure that will make them net
less than five, but that is what hap
pended Monday.
There is another feature that Is
worthy of note and taxpayers par
ticularly should not overlook this;
the fee for preparing the record, %
that has customarily been charged in
the West, was not permitted TO he
charged agrinst the bonds The issue
was sold unconditionally, the buyer
preparing his own record
This specie Of oXtortion, and It Is
little more than that, is Just one OF
the ways that bond houses make
their profit. They have no right to
expect the municipality whose bonds
thoy are buying to furnish them the
selling opinion of some attorney but
they do when they can get away
with IL.
In this instance the County Court
was wise TO the game and like good
business men protected the County's
interests. on this deal alone the
County saved $1,000 and perhaps
more. when one realizes that the
premium of S3015 offered for the
bonds was made when the County
has outstanding some 100000 OF
Big Bend bridge bonds this question
Is natural why did not the county
get premium on them too?" The
1lffor.n nee In the manner OF handling
HE two sales must be evident, and
shows cmphaticully that It pays ca

WHAT WILL WE SEE?

Just now there is great ad,
about the dissolution OF the packers
aud tho order that has been ISSUED
tor their divorce from the various
subsidiary companies now controlled
by them It an sounds fine. but will
any real separation result? That
is the question.
The public generally has forgotten
the first of the great antitrust eases,
the Northern Securities ease, which
started In the Minnesota courts and
finally wound mp In the supreme
court With the order TO Jim hin ct al
10 drop the Northern Pacific railroad
from the llill combine Did Il really
secure any dissolution? Not that
was ever manifest The Ilill family,
$50 long as the genius of the family
lived controlled the dcstinies of the
Northern Pacific and the burlington
and the Great Northern as well. Be
fore the court order was issued the
affairs of these transportation lines
had been so comngled that they
could not he separated, for as J Pier
pont Morran sagcly remarked you
can't unscramhlo eggs"
Thus il win prove no doubt in the
packers ease, Vic Murdoch and
Francis ucncy 10 the contrary not
withatandiue Instead of the Swift
Corporation or the Armour Corpora
tion owning stock i'm the several sub
sidiary companies the individual
members of the families of stock
holders will have that stock in his or
her name They will function Just
che same.
IL Is strange commentory on the
action of the Federal Trade Commits
sion that sought the dissolution of
the packers that it was the body that
by It's license system during the war,
permitted the packers TO make
nine per cent ON their turnover"
and that Swift a Company in its
annual report showed that the COM
pany had made more money than
ever before i'm its history on only two !
per cent ON the turn over" What |
would they have made had they |
taken an the Federal Trade Commits
sion said they could?
Vie Murdock is a mighty good
newspaper man, Colyer may be a
great business man in his line, and
lleney their attorney, is a shrewd
lawyer-but they evidently
are little short on knowledge OF the
packing game.

ABOUT THE FARM BUREAU
 SHIPPING ASSOCIATIONS

Throughout the country county agents and extension workers are helping the farmer produce as we'll as to distribute. One of the practi- cal projects of the Farm Bureau in Eastern states has been the formation of livestock shipping associations. Quoting county agent in Illinois he says:
 "I believe that there is no one thing that county farm advisor can do that will reflect as much credit on the farm bureau as the organization of livestock shipping associations; l say this because since our county has been organized, great number of men have been using that argument in get ting farmers to join the farm bureau. Whether we like to admit it or not, yet the fact remains, think, that the strongest appeal to a farmer is the one where you save him some money; and this the shipping associations have been doing very consistently.
 Furthermore, believe that the sue cessful establishing of these smaller cooperative movements will have a very beneficial effect on the whole CO., operative movement. Farmers will first learn to cooperate in a small way, if that succeeds, then larger things may be expected"
 The development of cooperative livestock shipping associations in Illi- nois can be pretty definitely marked
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-08

by the beginning and development of the county agent movement. There are 58 cooperative livestock shipping associations operating in Illinois now.
 The associations which have been in operation six months or more have an average membership of 143. All but 2 of the 58 associations limit the voting privilege to 1-man-1-vote, re- gardless of amount of association stock held.
 Each association which was organ ized before January 1, 1918, handled for it's members during the year 1918 an average of 329 head of cattle, 97 calves, 4,137 hogs, 188 sheep, and each one of these associations turned back to the farmers an average of $238, 8,612 for this stock after deducting the cast of operation.
 The object of the cooperative ship ping association is today pretty we'll understood; it's success lies in the fact that quality in the finished animal will under the eye of more buying compe- tition, receive nearer it's true worth than where purchased at the farm, and giving this service at the lowest possible cost to the producer.

OUR ROADS MUST BE
 CONSTRUCTED FOR GOOD
 SERVICE, NOT FOR LOOKS

Every state in the Union, with the possible exception of three, has au- thorized.or will outhorize bond issues for the building of good roads. How ever, the mistake of building them of too light construction should be carefully avoided.
 They should not be built as roads were built 20 years ago, before the advent of the motor truck when horse drawn wagons were the sole users of the highways.
 We are not building our highways to look at, nor are we building them for horses and wagons, we are build ing them for highway motor trans portation, for great lines of motor trucks, which are going to use them for transporting our commerce - as feeders for the railroads, the long haulage units, and for bringing food in from the farms.
 Twenty years ago we did not need highways as we do today, for the de- mand was for ordinary dirt, or, at the very best, lightly constructed macad- am, because they were called upon to carry one or two horses and light vehicle. Today, however, heavy hard top is required, and the high cost of it is only economy in dollars when commerce instead of pleasure uses them.
 Think what it is going to do for you personally in the way of lower costs, once highway transportation gets it's proper pace. It means that you are going to get more for your money.
 Transportation in the past has been by our inland waterways and our rail- roads. Each had its capacity for get ting into certain places. But they have not been adequate to our grow ing demands-the demands of 100,- 0OO, ,000 people.
 The big demand today is food, and we are not getting enough of it and SO of course we are paying heavy penalty because the railroads and wa- terways do not reach the farms. Now, with the coming of the rural motor express, we are going to reach out into every hill and valley and pro vide the farmer with quick and effi- cient economical transportation by motor truck, so that he will be en.. couraged to raise larger crops and send them to you. This will mean that you will get more food for less money, the farmer will get greater return because of the larger consump- tion and your city and state will bene- fit generally. The coming of hard-topped high. ways and motor transportation will usher in new era of advancement, will open up new sources of produc- tion and throw our lines of commer- cial influence around the world. %

MICHIGAN HAS FIRST
 AUTO LABORATORY
 IN THE UNITED STATES

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. B. When the University of Michigan opens its doors next fall the first dis tinctly automobile laboratory for test ing and research in the United States-if not in the world-will be available. Within the month the board of regents of the university has provided for the establishment of such a laboratory, and has made an aPpro- priation of $10,000 for it's equipment with the most complete and up to the minute apparatus.
 The laboratory provided is tenn porary one-a structure 50 by 18O feet. It will answer the immediate needs of the work, and in time will give way to a permanent building.
 This laboratory will make possible the establishment of research and de- velopment work covering cooperative service for inventors, engineers, man. ufacturers and the public. With the new and old laboratories combined op- portunity will be afforded for cer- tain amount of continuous, directed investigation, through the establish ment of fellowships.
 As Michigan is by far the largest producer of automobiles and automo- bile equipment in the United States, the particular location of the univer- sity and its laboratory is in the strat- egic center of the automobile indus try in the midwest, with Jackson, Lansing, Flint, Pontiac, Detroit, To- ledo, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Ind, the cities in which the lions share of cars are manufactured, all within a days distance.
 With the new laboratories the uni versity can act as clearing house for the industry and the public, in the matter of testing out and reporting upon new equipment, accessories, units, or complete vehicles. It is now planned to install two complete dyna- mometers for engines and accessory testing, and also a complete chassis testing equipment for the determina- tion of car efficiency and fuel eff ciency.

FINAL TUBE TEST
 MADE BY SCISSORS

"We have burned all bridges behind us by featuring the scissors test for ascertaining the quality of rubber used in tube," declares z. A. Bisson- nette, manager of the local Norwalk Service station, operated by the Old Reliable Auto Spring and Supply Co.,, on East Aspen avenue.
 "The scissors test reveals the quali- ty of rubber in tube with precision and it is made by taking a piece of tube one-quarter inch by three inches long and stretching it to nine inches three times its original length. If, when slightly shipped on the edge, it tears apart, the rubber is inferior. If, when shipped, it does not tear apart, this is positive proof that the rubber is of fine quality.
 "In introducing and making this Norwalk tires have committed them selves to quality product"

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT 1
 } I*+**+++++****+*S | : : :

Only a practical hand can instinc- lively feel that nut has been pulled up as tightly as is good for the bolt. A clumsy wrench, particularly if the handle is long, is almost sure to lead to rough treatment of the smali- CT bolts at the hands of the novice. Another thing that often leads even those who should know better to pull too strongly with the wrench is that the nut often has to be pulled around to certain position to allow cot ter pinhole to be exposed above it, or if it is castellated nut to align the slots in the nut with the hole through the bolt
 Another thing that is bad for the bolt is when its head is forced awry, because the surface of the metal all about the hole is not true with it. This causes an elongation of one side of the bolt at one short portion of its length.
 Occasionally valve cap will stick and defy all ordinary efforts to loosen it. When this occurs run the engine for little while until the cap is heat ed and then your little water in the recess of the cap. This causes sud- den cooling which makes the metal contract, permitting the cap to be easily unscrewed.
 A cold motor should be warmed up slowly, as it is dangerous and detri- mental to race or accelerate cold motor. This does more harm than constant service under full load at correct motor speed. Never race a cold engine. Where this instruction is disregarded and the engine is speeded up beyond the speeds which we indicate as the safe running speeds you are inviting trouble, repairs and expense.
 Every real motor bug has his own recipe for upholstery dressing, just as every gourmet has his own salad dressing. Even so, here are couple of formulae worth remembering: For leather, raw linseed oil and turpentine mixed in proportions of two of the former to one of the latter. For cleaning cloth upholstery, use clear water and mixture of three-fourths of an ounce of common salt and two ounces of wood or grain alcohol, sim ply rubbing the cloth with sponge dampened in the above mixture.
 To make a spring of a given size, get bolt of that size and place it in a wise. Secure the end of the spring wire to the head of the bolt and wind the wine into the threads of the bolt. After the desired length of spring has been thus made, the bolt can be un- screwed from the coil and this can be stretched to the desired length.

What the air container of the baS- ketball or the football is to the whole toy, that, the inner tube is to the tire. Be careful of it and you ride on a first-class cushion of air. Be careless and you are going to ride all the sooner on the rim and the rocks,
 If tire users better understood the construction of inner tubes, and, what is more to the point, would put in practice what they know, the comfort of riding would be greatly enhanced. Let us emphasize several points in this article:
 The trouble sometimes starts when the tubes are bought. They come in cardboard boxes, to be sure; but that is no reason why they should be kept in such containers any longer than is necessary. There is danger that the gum-and the danger is all the great CT if the gum is of the pure Para variety-will be chafed, and eventual ly cracked and ruined. It is mat ter of economy to purchase tube bag, which soon pays for itself.
 The value of fresh air may be em- phasized to advantage in relation to tires as it has been in respect to the lungs. If your machine is to be "laid on the shelf" for a few weeks, re- move the stale air, pump in enough fresh air to "round out" the tubes, cover them against the light, and then jack up your car. On general prin- ciples, tubes should be filled two or three times year with fresh air, since the effect of stale air is in itself deleterious.
 Reverting to the subject of preserv- ing tubes in cases, given size of tube should always be placed in the same size of case. Just as it is in advisable to wear shoes either too large or small for ones feet, so is it imprudent to keep tube in the wrong sized container. It should be obvious that a AZ inch tube, if stored in a 4-inch case is sure to become wrinkled and creased; and it should be equally obvious that 4-inch tube in a Az inch case is bound to stretch and get flabby, as we'll as to suffer the ill eff fects of heat and action due to dis placement of air; and yet people who are aware that shoes which are too small and shoes which are too large are similarly harmful to their feet, will thoughtlessly or consistently ruin their tire equipment by the kind of performance which we have just sug- gested.
 We alluded in the last article to the importance of fabrication. Before leaving the question of handling in ner tubes as they should be handled, let us emphasize the value of lubri- cation. Care should be exercised that the lubricant is distributed evenly. If the soapstone or mica, or tale is "dumped" at one spot, surplus heat is generated, which dries the rubber locally and promotes cracking. The same undesirable result comes from using the lubricating agent too freely; for some people, acting upon the mis- taken principle that if little of any thing is good, more is better, are in- clined to overdo the lubricating' ex- pedient. They overdo it just as they injure the lining of their nostrils by employing a salt solution that is too strong for those tender membranes.
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-08

A habit of motorists to carry tubes unprotected in tool boxes is often re- sponsible for much subsequent trou- ble. Tools are being bounced against them as the car bounds along, and their sides are chafed and become worn. They are. weakened before they are even inserted into the casing. All tubes should be carried in a water proof bag or fell wrapped up in a newspaper.
