Pittsburg, Pain Pittsburg, the
"Woman's National Bank" last week
lost its reputation as safe place to
keep money. Women have been
warned that stockings are no long
er the best depository for money.
The warning came after Mrs. An

Liberty bonds tucked away in her
stockings had both stolen while hav-
ing her shoes polished in down.

Mrs. Hayes notified the police.
The two negroes who worked on her
shoes were arrested and the valua-

INTOXICATION DOES NOT
MEAN MAN is DRUNK

Can a man be intoxicated without
being drunk?
Miss Cora F. Thomas of the Sci
entific Temperance Federation an
swers Yes
Speaking against per cent beer
bills, at a legislative committee
hearing, Miss Stoddard adduced sci
entific data to show that there are
two phases of intoxication; the acute
kind of drunkenness, and the chron-
ic kind, which is habitual inefficien-
cy, due to the harmful effects of reg
ular use of liquor.
Even if "a per cent beer doesn't
make man drunk it intoXicates, she
declared.

HERD BRINGS
LARGE AUCTION PRICE

London.-At Mill Grove, Morsby,
Cumberland, Mrs. Burnyeat's herd
of pedigreed Shorthorns, one Of the
leading herds in the United King
dom, realized the remarkable total
of $136,110, for forty-nine cattle
an average Of $2,775 an animal.
H. G. Latilla, a noted Sussex
breeder, secured some of the best
cows, paying $3.50 for the seven
year-old COW Princess Royal the hun
dred and and ninth, and $3.50 for
a nine-year-old COW, Lavender Lady
the Fifth.
The Earl of Rosebury purchased
the first COW to come into the ring,
the ten-year-old Clipper King, bred
by King Edward, for $3.50.
Another notable price was $6,037
given by G. II. Drummond for the
grand three-year-old heifer, Mores-
by Princess Royal.

encouraged, and nothing can stop them from
taking over the heavy work of agriculture.
The cleats ruin the roads and the law requires
that each tractor provide timbers to protect
the bridges. Tractors will continue to DESTROY
the capital invested in our roads till some rem
edy is applied. If you must take your tractor
out on the road, do everything you can to
save the roads and bridges.
6. SPEEDING lifts the particles of road
material from the roadbed and throws them
up into the air or out into the ditch The
temptation to step on 'er, where the roads
are good, is something that grows on person,
and should be resisted. Anyone who drives at
the rate of over thirty miles an hour for
quarter of a mile violates the speed limit and
IS subject to prosecution on account of the
damage done ito the road and the danger to
travel in general.
7. TURN-DOWN exhaust pipes blow
materials out of the road but their manufac-
ture and use are decreasing. If you have one,
turn it SO it blows out into space
s. LOOSE STOCK-May it increase by
the millions, but keep it off the roads as much
as possible If you must take herd thru the
country follow the roads that are least graded.
Go out of your way to save the heavy loss
they will cause on finished roads, OF course
you are taxpayer and have a right to use the
roads but the law says you have no right to
let your animals destroy them, and the law
provides that you must repair all damage,

Everybody Pays the Fiddler
and Shares the Benefit

Suppose, on the other hand, you had
sepnt $40 to advertise to everybody in
the county that you had these spuds at
$1.9o per sack and had sold them all
in week to folks who came to your
door and paid over the cash. Al
You would have $500 instead of $3.50
and lost but very little time taking in
the money.
Who paid for the advertising? Every
body. But they got their spuds cheaper
by 10 cents sack, and you got $40
more out of the 100 sacks with which
to settle the bill. You have saved your
self eight weeks of being bothered sell
ing those spuds when you had many
other things to do.
The time a merchant saves BY advertis-
ing he uses TO sell other goods, and his
profit on all can be less zvhile he makes
more money in the long rum.

a. RUTS are made by driving in one
track and by using narrow tires. Heavy
trucks make a rut at passing Many
wheels bearing on streak make rut. When
rut is made part of the capital invested in the
road is destroyed. We make roads sixteen
feet wide and people use six-foot strip leav-
ing two hve-foot strips on the sides unused ex-
cept for passing When ruts are formed the
black sand placed on top to keep the dust from
blowing and to prevent suction on rubber tires
and the consequent lifting of particles of the
roadbed is pressed into the earth along the line
of the rut, and when drag or grader passes
over to fill the rut the most of the black sand
goes into the rut A rut formed and filled
again is not so good roadbed as it was be-
fore. People do not travel so easily in ruts
flat surface, and they cannot turn out
so readily. 1t costs money-your money, to
fill ruts and replace the black sand The rem
edy for all the trouble is to keep out of the low
streaks, run the wheels on the high strips, drive
all over the road and, in general, keep to the
right side of the road. Every one who drives
in rut is destroying the capital invested in
the road. Every one who straddles the ruts
and seeks to iron them out is replacing and
protecting the capital invested in the road.
The ruts are yours, but you have no right to
use them

HOLD YOUR WOOL

Wool valuations average lower at
this time than they did last year,
with the fine and fine medium
grades (shorn from Rambouillete,
Delaines and the other fine wools)
selling higher than last year, but the
coarser woods, such as the half
blood, three-eights blood, quarter
blood and low quarter blood Osborn
from the Southdown, Hampshire,
Shropshire, and Oxford) selling at a
considerably lower price This is es-
pecially the case with the last two
grades and also with the braid woods
(Lincoln and Cotswold).
The wool market for the coarser
grades of good quality will probably
recover later in the summer so that
it would be inadvisable to sacrifice
the clip by selling at this time the
coarse grades of wool
wool growers consign their wool to
wool storage companies, such as the
Columbia Wool Warehouse company
or the Portland Wool Storage COM
.pany of Portland. These companies
store and grade the clip and sell di-
rect to the wooden mills in the east,
for a commission of about 215 cents
per pound. The growers pay the
freight in advance, about one-third
of a cent per pound, from eastern
Washington points.
The various middlemen are elm
mated through this method of sell
ing, the farmer receiving the total
value of his wool minus the commits
sion of 21a cents per pound and the
freight. Remember that by this
method of selling you will receive
the value of your WOOL that this
value depends on the length,
strength and Iineness of fiber; also
shrink, color, character and condi-
ton of fleece. In other words, if
your wool is under 2h inches in
length it will sell for the cheaper
clothing instead of the higher comb
ing wool-loss liz to 90 cents per
pound. II your flock lost in condi-
ton through lack of food and shell

hold of each end of lock of wool
and break it through the middle,

cents per pound.

of dirt and other foreign material

Mary Pickford as its "godmother," and
the little motion picture star does not
seem inclined to dispute the claim,
having recently addressed a very moth

dressed as godsons.
This post included the Battery c men
of the 143d Field Artillery, Of which
little Mary was godmother.
"Our Mary was an ideal godmother,"
said Tod Clawdsley, editor of the San

She autographed 1900 smileage books
