try corn or sewing which they wish
to enter as exhibits.
The people of Mexico are anxious to
cooperate with the students Of the
rural districts in beginning this COM
petative work, and they are planning

Sid Powell, of near Perry, last week
sold !. pair of mules. The hybrids
have grown in value from 500 colts to
$3.50 full-fedged mules. One of the
mules was raised by Jim johnson and
the other he purchased for $40. They
started on their rounds when johnson
sold them to Judge May Gill for $215.
A year later Gill sold them to Sid
Powell, who owned them on three diff
ferent occasions, for S440, who resold
them to John johnson of Molino for
$500. johnson used them to make a
crop and then sold them back to
Powell for $475. Last March Powell
put them in his sale and Abe Lands
bought them foar $500. Abe used
them all season, putting them in a
sale last November. Powell again de-
cided he wanted the long-eared fell
lows and bid them in for $467.50.
Later Powell had another sale and
Earl Carter captured them with
bid of $3.50. Carter has recently con-
Quoted a sale, in which the mules
again went on the block, and they
brought $3.50. Powell says they will
bring $1,000 before they die.

RACING ID BRING
 NEW AUTO EPOCH
Lighter and More EcOnOmi- cal Cars to Come From
 Speed Crucible

The struggle for supremacy to be waged this year on the speedways be- tween European and American cars and drivers is of more interest than ever before to the motoring world because it forecasts a new era of auto mobile design. This was indicated at the Indianapolis speedway last year when Baby Peqgeot showed it's heels to cars of almost twice it's size, thus proving that brute size is not essential to performance.
 As result the Indianapolis speed way this year has reduced the limit on the size of motors from 300 inches to 1S3 inches cubic displacement This means lighter and smaller cars than ever before and therefore more eco nomical cars. But. despite this limita- ton in size, it is expected that the speed will be higher than ever before and that, because of the improvement i2 materials, the reliability of the cars will be greater.
 European designers, both French and English, are already busy on spe- cial speed creations along these new lines. In America, as far asis known, the manufacturers are doing little, be- ing too busy with production, but many drivers are working on their own mounts. DePalma, it is under stood. is under contract to drive a French car, but rumors come from De-

Meaning of "Per Cent Grade"

The meaning of the expression per cent grade is not clear to a great many. It's simple enough when once under stood, but seems to be puzzling to those who have never been informed. When you hear someone say mat his car can make a 20 per cent grade, for instance, you knowd that he means that it will go up hill or incline that has a vertical rise of one foot for every five feet of level forward motion. If the base line of hill is one mile long, or 5,2S0 feet. then it's vertical height at the end of the mile is 1,056 feet. or 20 per cent of the base length. The distance from which the percentage is figured is not the act ual distance the car travels in going UP the hill, but is the length of the hills base line.

REQ SPEEDWAGONS
 MAKE QUICK TRIP
Carry a Ton of Steel Frame Members From MiIwau-
 kee to Factory

Two Rec Speedwagons, each carrying a ton of steel frame members. recently made trip from Milwaukee. Wis. to the Rec plant at Lansing, Mich, via Chicago, distance of $50 miles, in the face of raging snow storm in the clap sed time of g hours. Including stops made by the drivers for rest, meals, etc, an average rate of about 15 miles an hour was maintained
 The start was made at Milwaukee at 6:30 D. m. Chicago a distance of approxi- nateiy 100 miles, was reached 61a hours later, or at one o'clock the next morning countered until about noon on the next day when the worst blizzard of the sea-

son put in an appearance" which while causing little discomfort to the drivers made the view ahead" practically in distinguishable In some spots snow drifts were encountered but the two Reos plowed right along without either Inis- hap or delay. Lansing was reached at 5:s0 D. m.
 The feat of the two Speedwagons in delivering this material in this time goes further to prove the reliability of Rec trucks. also that road and weather con ditions do not effect the ability of the Speedwagon to accomplish whatever task is set out for it.

 Negotiations for the purchase of a site were begun two years ago with the Brazilian government, but were broken off by the entrance of the United States into the World War. Difficulties in ob- taining shipping facilities caused the postponement of negotiations until re- gently.
