SUGAR BATTLE
CONTROLS FATE
OF TARIFF BILL
Louisiana Senators Press
Schedule to Let Plant
ers RecOup.
CUT ARMY BILL SENT IN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-"The
Battle of Sugar" continues today in
the Senate on the twelfth day Of
the Harrison fihbuster against the
emergency tariff bill.
The first On the measure centers
on it's provisions putting a tariff on
sugar. These provisions, Senators
opposing them say, will mean 16 to
20 cent sugar to the American con-
sumer.
Proponents Of the bill insist that this
is a. surd and promise the price viii not
go above II or u cents, and then only
for a short time. They concede that in a
year the proposed tariff would cast the
American public 16O,OOO,OcO. Foes say it
would be nearer half a billion dollars
The sugar tariff, which is to apply un-
til raw sugar goes TO cents a pound
and refined to 10 cent wholesale, was
put in the bill by the Senate Finance
Com nittee on urging of Senators Gay
and RansGel Louisiana. They say
Louisiana sugar planters lost heavily and
the tariff is intended to let them reeoup
their losses.
Western Senators are opposed to the
sugar tariff, but say it is necessary to
include 1t to pass the bill. They claim
Michigan and Utah Senators want it, too.
Smoot and King of Utah and Townsend
of Michigan say they will not change
their viewson the bill as a whole, 10
matter what happens to the sugar pro-
vision.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi, had
much fhbustering material on hand to-
day. Penrose and McCumber, in charge
of the bill said they would continue to
let Harrison talk for the time being No
disposition to apply cloture exists, de-
spite reports to the contrary.
With a reduction in War Depart
ment estimates of $685., ,275, SOP 93, the
Army appropriation bill, carrying a to-
tai of 1851 Do, ,612.62, was reported to
the House today by the Appropriations
Committee
The appropriation is based on an Army
of 10000 men, exclusive of the Philip
pine Scouts or the flying cadets.
Provision is made for l., 900 commits
stoned officers, 1000 more than are now
in service.
The bill shows a reduction Of about
$64 100000 as compared with appropria-
tions for the current year.

BEST METHOD TO
ARRANGE CHAINS
Often Happens That Car Owner
Is Not Sufficiently Acquaint-
ed With Method.
SOME PRACTICE ESSENTIAL
Process Can Be Learned Rapidly and
Then II Won't Be Necessary to
Take Chance When Streets and
Pavements Are Wet.

Very often II is only that the auto
mobile owner Is not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the method of attaching
chains to put them on that causes him
10 take a chance when the street or
pavement Is wet. Unless the method
OF attaching chains is practiced bit
1t Is en- awkward process, and as sucn
an automobillst rather than spend a
number of minutes fumbling with what
he considers to be badly fitting at
tachments will run along and may
meet with serious accident.
The first couple of times that chains
are put on 1t may take considerable
while to do 1t, and the motorist may
even believe, although he has the In
dlcated size for his tires, that the
things are not of the right dimension.
A little practice. however. will make
attaching chains matter of only
moment or So and this is time that
anyone can well afford to spend.
The best way is to lay the chains
over the wheel with the hook part
toward the rear and tuck in the other
end snugly underneath the wheel in
'front.' as shown here:

one should figure that there will be
small future outlay for upkeep.
The lirt road has bad reputation
every place IL Is found and even i'm
proving does not make 1t a permanent
road, for 1t is continually needing
work. II is never-ending job TO keep
a dirt road in even passable condition.
II is like doing the chores on the farm,
they must be gone over again ana
again and still remain to be looked
after. The properly graded road, OF
course, is better than one poorly madee
but at Its best II Is continual worry
and expense. Where very steep hills
are on the roadway, bitches should be
run off along the side to carry the wa
ter into the side ditch and not allow II
to run down to the bottom, carrying
the soil with 1t and making a pool
where 1t stops.
Much of the movement now for i'm
proved roads Is for permanent roads
And. as stated above, these permanent
roads although quite expensive at first,
add much to the value Of the lands and
to the reputation Of the farming dis
tricts. 1t has been much easier to
populate new farming section when
1t is known that permanent roads are
coming soon or are already Installed
A farm always sells better when the
buyer can approach II on substantial
roadway. Those who are advocating
good roads and permanent roads may
not all live to see their ambitions sat
isfed, but they are starting a move
ment that will carry on to the coming
generations and will be blessing for
those who live after the present i'm
proved road agitation.

MOUNT STRAIGHT SIDE TIRES
Proper Method is to Lay Rim on the
Floor, and After Inserting Valve
Stem Use Force.

The proper method of mounting
straight side tires is to lay the rim on
the floor, inserting the valve stem or
the tire In its proper place. The bead
for ten inches in both sides Of the
valve should then be forced In place.
After starting the tire in this way
II should be forced in place further by
stamping on 1t, first on one side and
then on the other. Stamping in this
way will let the operator seat the tire
easily as a general thing, though II
Is sometimes necessary to resort to q
tire tool. The ends of the rim may be
brought into place by means Of a
screwdriver to use In prying, and care
must be used not TO make mistake
and get on the wrong side Of the rim
on top. This method is for use when
a rim-expandlng and contracting tool is
not available, as this latter saves
much time and trouble and should be
in every tool box.

ACCESSIBILITY TO MARKETS
Farm on Paved Road Is Nearer to the
City T,an One Located on
impossible Highway.

The type of road over which a farm
er must haul his crops determines his
accessibility to markets. A farm many
miles from the city, but II located on a
paved road. is nearer to market than
a farm separated from II by only a
mile OF lmpassable road. That is
why the various reports Of the United
States weather bureau issued daily by
the local state Offices of the bureau. de-
vote frequently their entire report to
the subject Of roads--a strange place
you'll say to find an editorial promot-
Ing permanent highways, but 1t is there
from time TO time. nevertheless.
