A Sharp Youngster

A teacher was trying to impress
her pupils with the rising ipfec-
ton in reading. She wrote on the
board the sentence, "Where are
you going?' and asked Tommy to
read it. Tommy read, "Where are
you going" mo infection. She
had him dol again. There was
no change. "Now, Tommy" she
said, s'look carefully at that sen
tence and see if you don't notice
some difference between it and
other sentences we've had. Be
sharp now and read it again. -"
Tommy wiggled back and forth in
an effort to be sharp and then
the light of knowledge shone forth
from his eyes and he read: "Where
are yon going, little button hook?"

There are undoubtedly acres upon
acres of Land in the eastern part of
the United States too poor for either
garden or pasture purposes which
would readily produce white pine
trees. The professor of forestry at
the Massachusetts Agricultural col
lege calls attention to the price of
$50 to $35 3 thousand feet for which
pine logs are selling on the stump, and
says that pine stumpage will be as
valuable for the next thirty or forty
years as it is today. His advice to
farmers who own large areas of unim-
proved lands, to plant them with white
pine, with a certainty of profitable
sale, would seem to be worthy of con-
sideration.

Tires and Their Proper Use

The following was written by E. r.
Hayes and L. L. lockwood Of the
II. r. Tire and Repair Company, %
South Washington street
Tires like the engine or other parts
OF car require u reasonable amount
Of attention and care if the owner eX-
poets to secure best results. There mas
been many Improvements in the con-
struction of tires in the last few
years and those built by manufac-
turers with quality as base are
very dependable, The motorist some
times neglects the proper care or
his tires. Should his engine over heat
for the want Of water or oil he does
not condemn the car manufacturer
but blames himself for the mishap'
Tires are Just like a piece of steel
or any other article. They have their
limit Of strength. taxed beyond that
point they will break. Ninety per cent
of tire trouble can be traced to one
cause and that is under initiation All
manufacturers of quality tires furnish
an initiation table which can be
procured at any service station ana
this table should be lived up to the
letter if the motorist wishes TO get
the maximum mileage out Of his tires.
Tires when carrying their full ca
pacity should be inflated to twenty
pounds per cross section. This means
that a 31s inch tire should be inflated
TO 10 pounds. 1t would probably shoch
the average motorist TO know that
there are enough tires worn out ana
damaged through the neglect OF not
having the proper initiation In tires
TO build eight battle ships per year.
Fabric punctures are caused by Sc
we're bumps or under initiation. When
the tire is under inflated and hits
stone the strain comes all at one
POINT and the result is damaged tire,
but if properly inflated the strain is
.venly distributed around the whole
tire If the tire manufacturer can
teach the motorist that they are rid
ing on air instead of rubber, there will
he less adjustments TO De made and
