must do more damage to the road
when it carries ton or so more of lead
than it's tires were intended for.
A striking example of the relation
the preliminary report of the United
States bureau Of public roads, i'm
which Il is stated that a three-ton
truck, with a load of five tons, run
ming at speed of 10 miles per hour
over twO,inch rut. had an impact Of
slightly over II tons, while 5la-tOn
truck with a load of 5h tons, under
the same conditions had an impact of
only y tons. The fact that the over
loaded truck had heavier "unsprung"
weight. that is, weight not sustained
by springs, accounted to some extent
for its greater impact, but there can
be no question that the overlooking
was a material factor in causing the
greatly increased wheel pressure on
the road. -
Against this danger truck owners
are constantly being warned by truck
manufacturers, who strongly advise
that no truck should be made to carry
a greater load than the weight de-
fined by its classification. Some states
/ have enacted laws imposing fines for
truck overlooking, but it will proba-
bly, be found that enlightened self-in-
terest will prove to be the best check
on a nractice that has bpen shown TO
be dangerous both TO truck owners
and drivers and the general public;
and source of injury to our roads
that materially limits the benefits
from the motortruck as a new agency
for local freight transport.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. Lurie
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"oFF OF"

TINE use of the phrase which heads
i this article leads often to errors
that are seen to be ludicrous, when
analysed. For example. one will hear
the question: "Where did you buy
that steak?" The answer comes: 81
got 1t off of the butcher around the
corner" To get steak "off Of the
butcher might suit a cannibal very well,
but the very idea would shock any,
one else. In proper usage, omit the
"off;" say: Il got it of Tor FROM the
butcher around the corner"
There are cases of the misuse OF
the phrase "off Of" that are not M
dicrous, as in the instance already
cited, but in which the of is moi
needed and instead of saying, HE
jumped off Of the car" say, "He
jumped off the car" A man who ex-
poets to open store says: evil you
buy something Off of met" He should
say: "Will you buy something from
met"

Where Soil Is Light

the editor OF one of the local papers

been materially injured by the recent
heat waves except where the soil hap
pens to be light n sandy.
County Agricultural Agent A. M
Challey, in comparing the possible
wheat yields this year with those OF
last year says that the average yield
of II bushels per acre for 1920 viii,
be raised to Is bushels for 1921. There
are fields in the county, says Mr.
Challey, that will run as high as IS
bushels per acre If no further accident

In the Fort Totteh vicinity where
the grain has been dried out for two

assured, being far enough along to
be safe, barring the most extreme
