vi If he will change tires around in the

can make them last far beyond the

k 1t is evident, even to casual OBJ
server that the rear tires wear out
more rapidly than those of the front

driving through the rear wheels, let

use of chains, skidding and so on. Now
comparing the right side Of the car
with the left, the tires on the right

Walking Against the Wind.

The average man, walking briskly,
travels at about four miles per hour.
Els body presents to the air surface
Of about six feet in height to one foot
in width, or about six square feet.
Moving at four miles per hour he
is travelling at five and eight-tenths
feet per. second, and the resistance
opposed to his forward motion by the
air, assuming it to be still, is just
about one-half pound. In other words,
he is continually pushing half pound
resistance ahead Of him as he walks.
If the same man walking four miles
per hour were facing a gale blowing
twenty-five miles per hour, the rela-
dive velocity of the wind would be
thirty miles per hour. and the man
would be walking against pressure
Of over twenty-six pounds.
This would be enough to make an
appreciahle difference in the ease Of
walking and he would readily notice

the modern farmer Is insisting upon

System Here Explained Will Mean
Saving.
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 it may be stated as
general principle that the rear tires
I wear more than the front ones and the
right ones more than the left.
Starting with all new tires It 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. 1t is difficult to state just
when this change should take place;
possibly it is best left to the discre-
ton Of a driver If "non-skid" is
used, the" change should be made be-
fore the tread is worn so smooth as
to lose it's protective feature At the
same time the other two tires should
be exchanged, to keep matters even.
After 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 if some tire is to be re-
moved temporarily for repairs, It VIII
be replaced by the spare tire instead
Of moving the rest forward, and as
soon as returned It 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

SOLVING NEEDS
Of FARMERS IS
Up To BANKERS
(By The Associated Press.)

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 29.-So-
luton of the needs of farmers in
the corn belt for financial assist
'ance rests with local bankers and
farmers cooperating with the
state committees Of the govern
ment's war finance corporation,
Eugene c. Meyer, Jr, managing
director of the corporation, de-
clared today in addressing a meet
ing of Indiana farmers and bank
ers.
Unlimited government funds may
be made available for the credit of
the farmers, he said, while Gov
ernor McCray, of Indiana, chair
man of the corporations advisory
committee on the needs of the corn
belt farmers estimated minimum
of $200,000,000 would be required
to finance farmers in holding their
surplus corn on the farms for an
orderly marketing of this years
bumper crop.
The advisory committee directed
Governor McCray to call a meeting
of governors at Chicago Friday to
arrange for other state wide gath
erings of bankers and farmers.
Mr.. Meyer declared there was
no delay in providing the govern
ment funds to banks for the farm
loans after q bank had qualified,
through the corporations state
committees, as to collateral and
character. Advances Of $1,500,000
to $2,000,000 daily are being made
by the corporation, he said.

seven workmen and injured more
than a score. Firemen and police,
working among the ruins tonight,
may find more bodies, according to

subcontractors were summoned be-

the work had frequently been ap-

Search of the ruins was possible
only by gradual removal of the tons

brought out, many crushed beyond

London, Nov. 29 (by the Asso-

pacification of Ireland ended to-
night with the hope that a COM
plete collapse of the parleys might
still be averted.

Parliament in Belfast that Ulster
had refused to accept an all-lre-

willingness to discuss other pro-
posals for an Irish settlement If
they were submitted by next Tues
day.
The situation still is very criti-

Ireland parliament, and the sim
fein refusing to yield on the ques-

That They Came to Their Death "By Gun

Gallup. N. NJ, Nov. 29.--An in
quest was held today at 2 O'Clock
over the bodies of j. w. Blackwell,
Jr., and wife, who were found mur-
tdered on the front porch of their
house last Saturday morning. The
inquest was held under the direc-
tion Of the assistant district attor-
ney In the office of Justice of the
Peace John Schauer. Testimony
introduced showed that the wounds
inflicted had evidently been made
by steel jacketed bullet. The
bullet fired into Mr.. Blackwell
probably severed the main artery
of the left side and he died in less
than five minutes. Mrs. Blackwell
was shot through the right breast,
the bullet taking downward
course and probably pierced the
lower part of the heart, causing
instant death.
The verdict of the jury was that
the two people had come to their
death by gunshot wounds inflicted
by person or persons unknown to
the jury.

Macato is situated on the bank
of a small river three miles
