SPORT WRITERS
NECO|ATES DELUCE
Ford Never Falters AS 1t Sails Over
Water-SOaketl Roads OH High

Will Gahagan, the famous sport
writer who is also a walking encyclo.
pedia" of information on titled horses
and their doings for the last couple of
centuries. recently rode from Randall
to Cleveland in a Ford, but here's his
story as it appeared in "rhe Horseman''
for August:
I'm company with Ben Scott, turf
wl.er on the Plain Dealer, and a couple
of other scribeS L made the trip to the
city in Scotty's machine. Said machine
is manufactured in Detroit by a gentle
man by the name of Ford. Now, they
make all sorts of fun of that Ford ma
chine, but after that trip from Randall
to Cleveland the other day, I'm con-
WINGED that the Ford cars are not only
fast, but that they have staying quail
ties as we'll. :. They should have been
used in getting the soldiers across the
ocean.
''In the low spots where the water
has stopped many of the highpriced
sboats' the little Ford didn't even hesi-
tate. One of the most amusing sights
of the trip-I believe that it was the
only one-was watching a gentleman
astride the hood of a large machine
which was standing in about two feet
of water. He was attempting to crank
the machine and yet keep out of the
water. Now that was a hard job.
Every time he gave the crank a twist
bis arm went into the water, right up
to the elbow. The good man man was
reciting the Lords prayer as we pass
ed. At least we surmised that he was,
from a few words that he uttered as
oul' good little craft pulled for the
shore
Like Pop" Gears, who added a Ford
runabout to his string of thoroughbreds,
Mr.. Gahagan has discovered that as a
mud horse" he couldn't get away from

KING USES
AMERICAN TIRES

When King Haakon, of Norway goes
forth to ride in his limousine these days,
he makes his journey on American
tires. His car is equipped all around
with the Nobby tread pattern of United
States tires.
Cord tires have not yet gained much
of a foothold in Scandinavian countries,
as the cars there nearly all call for
equipment of the old clincher type.
American tires are in great favor and
their popularity gives indication of re-
naming permanent
The allied nations put on so tight an
embargo against rubber during the war
that the Scandinavian countries suffer-
ed a great tire shortage, their proximity
to Germany making tire shipments to
them inadvisable.. A high wave of
buying followed the lifting of the en-
barge.

A RADIATOR
NEVER BO|LS
Deterioration

Of course not, it is simply the water
in the radiator that boils, and the ma
jority of radiators on any make of car
which comes into the Valley has a
good chance to let the water boil.
What is the chief cause of this?
1t is mainly due to the fact that 80
per cent of the radiator cores are made
of brass, which corrodes quickly in al
kali water. This corrosion collects
sediment and soon fills up the small
water channels of the radiator core,
thus stopping the water from circulat-
ing. With these conditions existing,
your motor will be continually over
heated, which is the cause of large
amount of motor troubles in Imperial
valley today. Hundreds of dollars are
being spend by the public of Imperial
valley on motor work, where proper
cooling radiator on their cars would
eliminate their troubles. Eventually,
their radiator becomes so bad that they
are forced to have a new core installed.
1t is then they realize what great
mistake they have made by not having
their radiator rebuilt long before by
experienced radiator men, who have
IL years experience in connection with
these conditions and are now able to
offer and assure the public of radia-
tors which will overcome the strain of
alkali, sediment, mountain grades and
desert heat.
If there is any question you would
like to ask in regard to your automo-
bile, truck or tractor radiator, we are
always willing to give you the best of
helpful information. Titus & Bashore

FIRST CONCRETE
POURED ON STATE
ROADAT JACUMBA

Concrete is being puur.d On the stat .
highway just this side of Jacumba, ac-
cording to Deputy State Labor Com
missioner George +. Gray. The first
work started at the curve about three
miles east of Jacumba. Water is avail
able along this line, for pipes were laid
to supply a camp in that vicinity and
no time need be lost in preparing to
place the hard surface on eight or ten
miles of road.
Construction crews are at work just
east Of Mistletoe Inn, where some diff
cult grading will be necessary.
Other crews are busy on the road
from Boulevard to Buchanan Springs.
This will form n great cutoff, and will
save the traveller eight miles distance.
Warrens ranch and Campo will be en-
tirely off the new state highway. Ac,
cording to report, the state highway
commission will have the entire road
from the top Of the Mountain Springs
grade to Buckmar Srings paved be-
fore next summer!ssn grade itself is
another story.

Little Refused
TecoLete Check

Application for permission to con-
struct n check gate in the Alamo canal
within the Tecolete cut, from which to
irrigate 10000 acres of land in Lower
California was refused at the meeting
of the board Of directors of the Imper-
ial irrigation district. Lee Little and
associates represented the applicants.
Discussing the question, President
j. S. Nickerson, of the district board,
said:
'"ro grant this permit would mean
the destruction of all the work that
we have done towards lowering and
improving the Alamo canal. All our
efforts would be lost. The proposed di-
version is too far up the canal 1t
would cause blockade of the whole
system"

MORROW COUNTY LANDS OFFER BIC
OPPORTUNITY To THE HOME SEEKER

outbuildings, good fences, water pip
ed to the house and barn, and many
other evidences of a higher standard
Of agricultural life. Add to these
the telephone, the auto, the truck
and the coming roads, and is not the
farm the best and most independent
place on earth to live =? From such
homes as these the boys and girls
have little desire or temptation to
leave and rush to the cities as in
times gone by.
And right here | want to say that
if the bright, husky, wide-awake
farm boy would only make up his
mind to stay with Dad a few years
longer and learn the farming game
perfectly, and then later on acquire
a farm of his own, and pay no atten-
ton to those who would encourage
him to seek a professional life, he
would, in the great majority of cas-
es, be ten times better off, and this
would soon be a land Of universal
prosperous, contented rural homes
the foundation of the government it.
self. |. W. VS., Bolshivists and an
archists generally receive mighty few,
if any recruits from men who have
acquired and who live upon a good
piece of Mother Earth. The pros
porous farmer has nc patience with
the agitator, and is usually found
the most earnest and consistent de-
fender of the flag of his country.
One more thought briefly: OBJ
servation will prove to anyone that
farmers in this semi-arid belt can
operate too many acres and that 9TH
ers make an equally bad mistake by
farming too small a tract, for either
to succeed. The mar who is making
the velvet has struck the happy
middle" In spite of what high
collared and long-haired theorists
claim, this is not a small-farm coun-
try, unless one happens to have an
irrigated tract on a creek bottom or
in one of the government projects.
For wheat raising and stock pur-
poses a larger acreage is demanded.
The man who is trying to scratch
in all outdoors is not as a rule sue
ceeding. Neither is the man who
has buckled down to a quarter Sec
ton or a half section of wheat land.
1t is just enough to keep him poor.
He must have a large enough tract
to keep him and his horses and his
machinery and his hired man busy.
He ought to have at least ESQ or 800
acres sowed in good, clean summer
fallow ground every year, and this
requires of course about n section
of land. Spring sowing and volun-
teering should be completely aban-
doned. They are a waste of effort.
Morrow County farm land is com
posed of the same ingredients as the
volcanic ash soil of SlciIy-land that
never wears out but actually i'm
proves with intensified cultivation
and conservation of moisture. Hun
dreds of farmers, the ones who are
succeeding, are complying with Ma
lures demands, and when their ex-
ample becomes more universally en-
ulated then will the Morrow County
soil command the same values to be
found in the other communities above
refprred In

Heppner Boy Enjoys
Trip to State Fair
Heppner. Ore. Dec. 10. 1919

Heppner, Ore, Dec. 10. 1919.
Editor Gazette-Times
Heppner, Ore,
Dear Sir.
VIII you please publish this story
of my trip to Salem. When l enroll
ed in the Club work l did not think
l was going to win a trip to the State
fair.
l left Heppner the 22nd day On
September and arrived In Salem that
night about 1880. My bed did not
get there until a day or two later,
but | slept with one of the other fell
lows. Two or three of the boys
beds also failed to arrive on time.
The first dayI spent looking about
the grounds. The next day l went
over to the forestry department and
saw all the tools and instruments
used to prevent forest fires. The
next day we all went up to the peni-
Tertiary and other state buildings.
Saturday | packed up my things
and started for home, thinking, that
after all, the Club work is a good
thing for the State.
Yours truly,
OREN HILL.
