VACATION FOR TRUCK
WHICH PROVED VALUE
OF PNEUMATIC TIRES

The old truck which has been
touring the country demonstrating
the good qualities of pneumatic
truck tires. has finished its 10000
mile jaunt and has gone back 10
Detroit for a vacation. After 10
years OF strenuous service. In which
this long journey was only an Incl
dent. the veteran truck Is entitled
to a breathing spell before 1t gets
back into heavy work. Nine years
Of it's life has been spent on pneu-
matte tires which accounts for its
longevity and for its serviceability
after so many years OF hard work.
This old truck-hte first that was
ever equipped with pneumatic truck
tires-started on it's journey eight
months ago, and its swing around
the country took il from Detroit to
Boston, then down TO Miami, Fla,
and then TO st. Louis. where il ended
its travels. Hundreds OF cities and
towns were visited enroute. In the
north 1t encountered the heaviest Of
winter weather. and in the south it
had TO struggle through highways
made soft by che heavy spring rains
One OF the valuable lessons learned
on the tour was the fact that the
big pneumatics are practically pune
ture proof. The tour was completed
without a single puncture. and with
the tires in good condition.
Aside from demonstrating the good
points OF truck pneumatics, and Civ
ing truck users in various parts of
the country a chance TO see the Old
Reliance, the object OF the tour was
10 gather data on the cost of truck
operation and TO make a study of
the benefits derived from the use Of
pneumatic truck tires.

wool of these states can be made
into cloth in them, and sold to the
people who will be glad to get it. We
can have a market for all the wool
grown, and demand for all the yir-

AS to the present use and sale OF
shoddy, every one, unless a shoddy
manufacturer, or stakeholder in a
shoddy mill, or furnisher of the
stuff along the way to them, or dis
honest clothing man who cares
nothing about his customers, except
to skin them, knows we need legisla-
ton to regulate the refuse. Enough
of us know that it must stop passing
for our wool. 1t must sell for shod-
.dy, and when our wool Is tainted
with it the cloth must give US credit
for all that is good in it. We have
sold wool at shoddy prices nearly as
long as we are going to. Right now
is a crisis in the sheep industry, and
sooner or later we will come out OF
it on the right side with stock Of
well-selected sheep to make profits
on when their wool gets credit for
its intrinsic value. We are at the
parting of the ways. The old road
is clogged with shoddy, dead sheep,
bankrupt wool growers, dissatisfac-
ton and uncertainty, but the fork
leads to permanent profit, a stable
sheep industry, happy focks on hill
and mountain land. with few on
most farms, serviceable clothing and

A plan has been devised, keep
ing in mind the wonderful beauties
Of the Yellowstone park, to conserve
the waters going to waste during the
winter months and high flood run
off, amounting to over one million
acre-feet of water, enough water to
reclaim over two hundred thousand
acres of land, offering the farmers
along Snake river and Yellowstone
river an opportunity to produce $12,-
000, OO0 worth of food products on
land now totally barren waste. This
plan does not change the appearance
of the Yellowstone lake or river one
iota, because it is not intended to
raise the water In the lake above
its high-water level. 1t Is intended
to check the lake to high-water mark
by submerged gates, which are to be
placed under q . beautiful = concrete
bridge at the outlet of the lake; the
water to be store till it can be util-
lied for irrigation purposes or let
run into reservoirs lower down these
rivers, thereby regulating floods and
conserving the water which now
goes to waste, benefiting no one.
The store water will not deterior-
ate the beauties Of the park, incon-
venience any one, or interfere with
the object OF the creation OF the
national park. in any way whatso-
ever.
1t has been great disappointment
to the people in the west that few
people in the east, who are not IA

west, have been able to hold back

the west are asking nothing more
than that we may be granted the
right at least to do what we find is
best, to manage our. own homes az
we find best to DO.
Congress and the senate have
acted wisely in granting this request,
because they have all the facts be-
fore them and have weighed the mat
ter carefully before acting, and will
in time approve these plans; and az
soon as the opposition gets more in
sight and without prejudice weigh
this matter, they will surely approve
the same. l feel sure that If they
could visit the site and see the bene-
fits derived therefrom there would

turers say we have not reached the
peak of cost; also, that 1.-The low
price of wool does not affect the
price of clothing" Buyers will prac-
tice sedentary habits until men In
debt and weakened men will be
compelled to sell, and then they will
pay as little as possible for the bal
ance. The aim is to get enough to
carry shoddy out of the mills and
stores at what it will cost to gather,
sort, cleanse and grind rags. Unless
there is change, this autocracy of
a few will kill the sheep industry
and continue to extort from the rich
and poor. Sheepmen will be in
jured the least because they can
turn to other things, but the people
must buy clothes.
It is fact patent to every one
that the use of substitute or coun-
terfeit will destroy any genuine
article. Il 1t will destroy the produc-
ton of wool as quickly as the real
worth Of money, and they have the
nerve to claim brazenly that much
shoddy is superior to some WOOL
and to abuse the "misinformed and
misguided" growers of the real ar
ticle, or any one who wants virgin
wool clothing. Here is the case.
There is an autocracy that can "sit
tight" and wait until it bankrupts

the world and finally kills them OF.
It can clothe the world with rags.
using what wool is grown, and then
substitute it with fax, cotton Or jute
and sell shoddy higher than now on
account of the wool shortage
Whether you agree with all the
above or not, take view of the
dead wool market now, and survey
of the clothing business and then
see that here is crisis, very dan
gerous economic condition; also note
that patriotism, common honesty
national economy and good sense
demand q change. The market FOL
wool must be increased and the sale
of shoddy for wool must be stopped
As to the first, we should have a
market for it in all these states. Il

Spasmodic rat determination cam
paigns are of course beneficial, but to
secure lasting results constant war
fare must be waged against the rat,
say specialists of the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The neces-
sity for this is plain in the fact that
rats begin to breed at three months
and have from to 10 filters year,
with an average of 10 young to each
litter
Specialists of the Department Of
Agriculture for years have made ex-
tensive studies of rats and methods of
exterminating them. No matter
how badly a house may be infested
with rats, these experts maintain, the
use of the methods perfected by them
will absolutely, and without doubt,
rid the house of the rodents.
Throughout the United States
health authorities are advocating the
use of these methods and gratifying
results are being secured. Thus
Kansas has designated a special rat

ands of dollars in a rat campaign,
and similar movements are being

Among the lady killers" are found

There is some ground for hope that

all others in that it attacks all por-

of the broad leafy parts. Its attack

Keeping Farm Accounts An Aid to
Better Profits.


Farming is a business, and, to be
successful it must be conducted in
businesslike manner. 1t involves the
nroduction and sale of commodities,
inst as does manufacturing. The bust
ness man, whether in factory or on
farm, should be constantly consider
ing two questions;
% What profit is my business
making?
CD How can that profit be increas-
ed?
The first of these must be answered
before an intelligent effort can be
made to answer the second. Proper
accounting leads directly to the ans
wer to the first question, and hence
it is essential to any well-thought-out
plan to increase profits.
The problem of the farmer is to
meet conditions on his own farm in
a way that will give him the greatest
net returns, year in and year out, for
the use of his capital, his labor, and
his managerial ability, Before he
can be considered successful farm
operator he must produce results that
will cover the value of all these. Capt.
tai can earn interest without labor
on the part of it's owner, and labor
can earn wages without owning any
capital. The farmer, utilizing both
in the conduct of his business, should
secure returns that will cover both
interest and wages. Not until both
of these have been more than cover
ed can any profit be credited to the
farming operations. Nothing but re-
turn in excess of interest and wages
can properly be considered as net
profit.
There is reason to believe that ma
ny farmers, owing to lack of proper
records, do not know what returns
they actually receive, nor how these
compare with what they should re-
ceive for their work and the use of
their capital. Doubtless many are
living on the interest on their capital,
making small wages or none, and no
net profits.
