SNOW ON COUNTRY HIGHWAYS
Removal Problem Of Greatest Impor
tance Because Of Greater Use Of
Motortrucks.

The snow removal problem is OF In
creaslng Importance because OF the
greater use of autos and motortrucks
which find 1t very difficult to travel
through drifts and deep snow. In
most states 1t Is the duty of the coun-
ty or local road officials to remove OBJ
structions on the highways and snow
drifts certainly are distractions, says
Farm and Home. Excellent advice on
this matter is given by the Iowa high
way commission as follows:
Just how much money can be used
for this class of road maintenance is
entirely up to the individual road Of
fetal to decide. He must also decide
whether 1t Is necessary to keep the
road open at all times for automobiles
on only for team traffic. In deciding
Just what to do about snow removal,
the character of the road and the
nature and importance of the traffic
to the general public must be deter
mining factor.
Road officials should not be
stampeded in the case of heavy SHOWS
by insistent and angry demands that
all roads be Immediately opened for
traffic. Sometimes an attempt to
open all roads for immediate use by
automobiles after exceptional snow
storms, might cripple the county or
township road funds for the entire
year. 1t costs money and lots Of II
to remove snow, so the road official
must use the best judgment as to just
how far he can go. always keeping In
mind, however, that no road should
be allowed to remain entirely closed
to traffic for any undue length OF time

MARCH.

TN what a travail is our Sprlngtlms
born -
Mid leaden skies and garmenture
of gloom.
Wild waves of cloud the drifting
stars consume.
And shlpless seas of heaven greet the
morn.
The forest trees stand sad and tenn
pest-torn,
Memorials of Summers ended
bloom;
For unto March, the sister most for
lorn,
No roses come her pathway TO
Hume.
Yet It's the month the Winter north
ward flies
With one last trumpeting of savage
might.
Now stirs the earth of green that un-

This other earth enwrapped In garb
OF white.
And while poor March, grown weary,
droops aud dies
The little Springtime opens wide its
eyes.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

conference or meeting of the
leaders OF a political party, Is
frequently encountered In re-
ports of the activities of con-
gress or In connection with the
work carried on during the time
which Immediately precedes
presidential elections. More
over, "caucus" owes Its origin
to one of the earliest of Ameri-
can politicians, Henry Adams,
who was very prominent In
colonial political circles during
the early part Of the Eighteenth
century.
Being deslrous of controlling
certain Offices and of securing
the appointment of men who
were friendly to his interests,
Adams organized club COM
posed for the most part of sea
captains, snlpWrlgntS ana otner
persons connected with mercan-

the real nature of the club and
partly because Of the nautical
atmosphere which surrounded
II, the organization was known
as the "Caulkers' club" Before
long, rumors of its activities be-
gan to seep out and. when ia
vorable appointments were
named, people commenced to
say, "That was settled by the
Caulkers." AS time passed the
name Of the club took on a more
phonetic spelling and the new
word, "caucus" was coined.

picture closes with thrilling race be-

sometimes these wheels must leave the
road altogether. There Is more likeli-
hood of meeting broken glass, metal,
and other objects on this side. Then
there is more weight on these wheels
because the car is tipped more to that
side on account Of the crown Of the
road. Therefore 1t may be stated as
general principle that the rear tires
wear more than the front ones and the
right ones more than the left.
Starting with all new tires II will be
evident that the right rear tire Will
show serious wear long before the left
front tire has got over Its newness. At
this point the two should be ex-
changed. II Is difficult to state Just
when this change should take place |;
possibly It is best left to the discre-
tion of a driver. II "non-skid" Is
used. the change should be made be-
fore the tread Is worn so smooth as
to lose its protective feature. At the
same time the other two tires should
be exchanged, to keep matters even.
After a few thousand miles more we
enter the second phase. One by one
the tires will wear out and not even
vulcanizing can save them. They
must then be moved up In the sequence
shown. Supposing the left front tire
is discarded. the right front tire takes
its place; the left rear tire moves for
ward and the right rear tire takes Its
place. The spare tire is placed on the
right rear wheel. the point of greatest
strain.
OF course. II some tire Is to be re-
moved temporarily for repairs, 1t will
be replaced by the spare tire instead
of moving the rest forward, and as
soon as returned 1t Is put back In its
regular position.
BY following the above system you
will not only make your tires last
longer. but you will have less trouble
