SHIPPING BY MOTORTRUCKS
Much Valuable Time Saved by Group
Of Farmers In Maryland, Near
City Of Baltimore.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
A suggestion which should prove OF
value TO many communities of farm
ers. particularly those who are desir-
ous of building up n retail trade in a
nearby town or city, is found In the
organization OF n cooperative motor
truck route perfected by n group OF
farmers near Baltimore, In Hartford
county, Maryland. Shipping by motor
truck has saved much valuable time
for the co-operators. Previously they
were obliged TO take milk shipments
to the railroad shipping points. Ex-
cept for those more favorably located,
this usually meant the loss OF the
services of a man and can two to
five hours every day. At present the
co-operators' trucks pass the doors of
many OF the farmers each day and
pick up their milk and produce. Those
living back from the main highway
bring their products to the highway
only. This saves considerable time.
Full particulars regarding the manage
ment of this truck route are contained
In Farmers Bulletin No. 1922, copies
OF which may be had by addressing a
request 10 the United States depart
OF agriculture.

CONTRASTING IS PROFITABLE
Best Scientific Agency for i~solatlno

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Practical reports from the various
contrasting associations throughout
the country show the value of this
work of separating the chaff from the
wheat In cowdom. The modern cOw-
testing association Is the best scientific
agency for isOlating and eradicating
the drones from the herd, while 1t also
is Of value as a detectOr of the highest

the cows appetite. digestion and pro-
methods Of increasing the net earn

One Ohio contrasting association,
whose members owned 1856 cows last
year. reports an association average of
345 pounds of butterfat per cow, and
that the present production of the
cows is ~ pounds of fat more apiece
than it was at the first OF the year.
Another cow-testing association an
nounces that its expenses during the
while the value of the increased pro-
duction during only the last year has

during each year the production of the
cows has improved and the returns
greatly increased. Members from an
other association report that all other
roy owners are feeding the individual
animals according to the capacity and
production of each COW. This is a re-

Measure the exact height of the cen
ter of the hubs of the front wheels
from the ground, and drive a long nail
or screw through the upper part II
each triangle so that the point of the
screw will be at the same height as
the center of the hub. This Is impOr-

See that the car is standing on n lev

the scantling under the car so that the
tip of the liked screw touches the in.
side rim of the wheel AT the real edge.
Take the movable triangle and slide il
along until the tip Of the movable
screw touches the inside rim of the OPP
pOsite wheel. Mark this position on
the scantling.
Now nov the apparatus to the front
of the wheels and take another meas
urement of the distance between rims,
marking on the s~cantling rs before.
The difference between the two marks
on the scantling will show how much
the wheels are out of true, and this
can be corrected by changing the adj

tween the steering arms.
To make the a steer easily and

Of the hub should be about one-quarter
inch less at the front of the wheels
than at the back.

equipped laboratories. il will have "A
large number of beds for patients who
find it necessary to remain at the in

institution is to provide facilities for

treatment of ~neoplastic disease. The
benefits to be derived will be available
to all requiring such treatment and a
fee consistent with the financial con-
dition of the patient will be charged.

Toledo. Aug. 21.-Frank Wisner,
who confessed to the murder of his
uncle. Frank Linhart, Of Clutter, was
taken before Judge Willett in district
court here at 1880 o'clock today and
was sentenced to serve the rest Of his
natural life in prison at hard labor.
A large crowd was present in court
to witness the final chapter in this,
one Of the most sensational crimes IN
the history Of Tama county. Wisner
admitted he gave LInhart drinking
water in which he had placed strych-
nine. The motive was admitted to be
for the purpose of securing a small
sum OF money in Linhart's posses-
sion and to cancel a debt Of several
hundred dollars which .Wisner owed
his kin.
When Liphart's body was found
IN creek it was supposed he had
oeen drowned, and the body was
buried without further Investigation.
Several days later the suspicious of
neighbors became aroused, the body
was exhumed and the contents of rns
stomach were sent to Iowa City for
analysis. When the presence Of
poison was revealed Wisner was ar
rested and later confessed.

Washington. Aug, 21.-The i'm
provement in President Wilson's ply
steal condition has become so mark
ed that those who are associated
with him are now willing to tell some
details concerning his comeback"
The president now weighs 179
pounds. This was his normal weight
when in the best Of health. In the
early part Of his administration the
president made trip in the May
flower to Yorktown. Va. and while
there was weighed on public scale.
He tipped the beam at 180 pounds.
Some surprise was expressed over
this by people who knew the presi-
dent, as it was not supposed that he
weighed 30 much, but it was said at
the time It was his normal weight.
Correspondents saw the president
Tuesday afternoon as he started on
motor ride. It was noticeable that
his face looked fat, and inquiry
brought the information that he had
gained back all the weight that he
had lost during his illness of nearly a
year. The president had better col
or than at any time since he was
stricken and seemed cheerful.
Rear Admiral Cary I. Grayson. the
presidents physician, confirms the
statements that the president is back
TO ,nornal weight aud is making
steady progress. The president is en-
tieavoring to overcome the lameness
due to paralysis in the left side. by
exercising his left arm and in walk
ing up and down stairs to exercise
the muscles of his left leg. He uses a
cane in walking and is gradually
coming to depend less and less on it.
