HIGHWAY RULES
WELL OBSERVED
Tire Dealers Demonstrate
Ability as Transporta-
tion Experts.

With many States adopting legis-
lation regulating truck tire equip
ment and carrying heavy loads on
public highways, authorities are be-
coming increasingly active in check
ing up to see that load limitations
are not exceeded.
Under the plan first used by most
states having such regulations. mo-
torcycle officers when they suspect
ed an operator to be plotting a load
above the maximum. hailed the Of
fender and all proceeded to a public
scales. In the majority of cases the
truck was not overloaded and the
tire equipment was of the correct
size and type. So considerable in
convenience, not to say expense, was
unnecessarily involved.
According to a truck tire officfal
of the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company, there is now coming into
general use by these States an in
genious and most practical machine.
known as the loadometer, which Is
a combined jack and weight fndi-
Gator. Placing one beneath each
axle the truck and load is lifted
clear of the road, and at the same
time weighed. When this operation
is completed the type. and size of
tire is checked up to see IL same
comes within the State law for the
weight recorded.
These tests not only enable the
authorities to enforce the law and
assist in Its preservation. but they
bring out the interesting fact that
truck tire dealers are demonstrating
their qualifications as transporta-
tion experts. for instances are rare
II not nonexistent, where the trucks
tire equipment has been found ont
of accord with State regulations, or
the wrong size and type. according
to the standard of transportation
engineers.
This is not surprising. for the
truck tire dealer of today, when
called upon to supply new equip
ment. first makes a careful analysis
Of all the conditions under which
the truck must operate. The roads
on which the truck must travel. its
usual type of load and the trucks
are closely considered. and
then. having based his decision on
tables prepared by tire and trans
oortation engineers. the tire dealer

ons or pneumatics-and signifies

In this way not only is the inter-
st of the public served to the ex-
tent of close cooperation in the
natter of highway preservation.

'tor has in his truck is protected

legal owner and entitled to possess
sion under the Ball rent law where
the premises were for his own oc-

brought by J. Estelle Farnham, who
endeavored to retain possession by
appeal to the commission.

Over 400 purchasers OF cooperative

CLAYTON BALL TOSSFRS
LOSE TWO MORE GAMES

The Clayton ball team is still fol-
lowed by the jinx. and lost two
games this week. The first game on
last Sunday between Clayton and
IeXline, resulted in a score of 8 10
!, and on Thursday the big bows
from our neighboring community of
Otto came over and trimmed them
again to the tune Of to 2.
In the Sundays game. Johnny Cor
lch and Shaffer worked for Clayton
and Munson and earle for Texline
Johnny pitched good ball for the
flrst seven innings, holding the Tex
line boys to 6 hits. but i'm the fatal
seventh they got to Johnny's offer
lngs and accumulated a bunch of
i've hits, which Melted three runs.
Snedeger relieved Corich in the
eighth and succeeded in holding the
IeXllne boys scoreless the two in
nings he pitched.
Shaffer played star game behind
the bat and made several hard catch
es of high fouls.
The Clayton boys, il seemed. had
lost their batting eyes and only sue
ceeded in getting six hits off Mum
son.
There is absolutely no alibi to Of
fer. The Texline boys played ball
all the time, while Clayton lacked
pep. They do not put the fighting
spirit into the game.
The same spirit prevailed in the
game Thursday. For seven innings
the score stood two TO one in favor
of Clayton. In the seventh the bows
from Otto rallied and tied the score.
They came back in the eighth and
caught Clayton asleep and scored
two more runs, and again annexed
one in the ninth. Lynch pitched
for Clayton and got seven strIkeouts.
and allowed thirteen hits. Hess
Beckner working for Otto was stingy
allowing but nine hits and striking
out i3 men.
II our boys are going to win any
games, they are going TO have TO get
a real fighting spirit and go out and
work. They are negligent about prac-
tice and show lack Of work in ev-
cry game. Texline and Grenville are
booked for games and we want 10

least make a showing.
