LINCOLN OATS YIELD
HEAVY FROM TEST

Value of improved seed is shown in
the results of trial with Lincoln oats
and N. D. r. No. ia flax. reported by
Andreas Olson, q member Of the North
Dakota Crop and Soil Improvement So
ciety, to the secretary Of the assOcia-
ton, DR.. Fl. L. Walster Of the depart
ment Of agronomy at the North Dakota
Agricultural college. The tests were
made this year on Andrew George
sons farm at Finley, N. D. The seed
for this trial was sold by the depart
ment Of agronomy and report was
made upon it by Mr.. Olson, who IS now
student at the Agricultural college.
Lincoln oats was sown on the George
son farm in Steele county on April %
at the rate Of two bushels to the acre.
1t was harvested August and thresh-
ed August %, yielding so bushels to
the acre. The variety showed some
rust, but nevertheless made very good
seed, and made yields superior to the
common varieties of oats grown in the
vicinity.
N. D. r. No. ia flax was seeded on
May 30 at the rate of One-half bushel
to the acre. The flax looked fine all
summer and was harvested August Is,
yielding IA bushels per acre, outyield-
ing all varieties of common flax grown
Oh old land in the vicinity.

Cicely's Mud
Romance
By MARTHA MACWILLIAMS
.0. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate


1t is hard to find yourself forced to
choose between running your best girls
amiability or your brand-new car.
Unions heart sank as he realized the
imperative fact Cicelys mind was
set on going to the golf tournament
by the road that ran past Bankbush,
where abode her dearest enemies
and he knew actually by yesterdays
experience that the road was unfit for
any civilized tires to press. Storm
water had channeled it deeply, rip
ping up the surfacing and laying bare
big powders left carelessly in the bed.
Further the bitches were quagmires,
crawling In stretches with sticky mud,
in other stretches utterly stagnant and
flooding the road surface, If surface 1t
could be called. Yet when he had
tried to tell Cicely all about it she
had shifted, and said, looking straight
ahead: 1--WE heard you say often

had mind, unless it were up brick

The brick wall might be safer, exc

him and his sweetheart were in a
hair-trigger state. He had hated RI
val-two of them indeed, also the RI
walls were ahead Of him in the good
graces Of Mrs. Gray, Cicety's widowed
mother AS an offset, both were so
near to poverty their lovc-making had
always been careful, not to say thrifty.
Nobody could say they had made he
roc efforts to "love where money
was"
Cicely had scads Of it-Worse luck
for differentiation he was
well nigh as rich as she. 1t was hard
work living down his fOrtune-he did
not despse money in the least-but
oh, how he hated what its possession
wrought in half those he encountered.

garden which was overlooked by the
south side Of the old house. MariOn's
window was on that side and faint
light shone there behind rosy curtains.
81 wonder If she looked for me to-
night" he thought as he took out the
flute and replaced the box in his pock-
ct. Never in his life had he played
any musical instrument, and 1t was
with some trepidition that he put the
flute to his lips, and following Mr..
Wylie's directions he blew softly upon
1t.
The result was so wonderful that he
charmed his own senses and sat down
on marble seat among the roses. Inc
most enhancing music came wander
ing from the flute Of the old Arab
shcik. 1t was like all the love songs
of the world-it played itself as Dorry
blew gently into the mouthpiece. The
woOng strains seemed to kiss the
bending roses, seemed to meet the fall
ing dew, seemed to lift up to Marions
windows. He forgot her for the mo-
self All at once he saw misty white
form coming across the lawn, 1t drew
nearer, nearer, and the moonlight
shimmered on her golden halr-it was
the girl he loved. Now she hurried
little as If drawn by the melody, until
she ran breathlessly into the rose
garden, and poised before him, smile
on her lovely face. AS he dropped the
flute and jumped up she turned and
buried her face in glorious clump OF
roses, pressing the cool fragrant petals
to her hot cheeks.
Dearest" whispered Derry beside
her.
"Dorry," she answered In a muffled
tone, "were you playing that for me?"
"Of course"
II thought when I heard 1t that
some one had stolen Uncle divers
priced possession and I came out to
rescue it, and it was only you playing
to the moon"
"Confound 1T ALL" said Derry impa-
tiently. II knew 1t wouldn't work for
a cent! You're only laughing at me
after all! !" He picked up the flute and
turned away, but from among the roses
her voice came sweet and low.
Don't go, Derry. Uncle Oliver meant
well, but you don't need the flute to
win my love, because"
And Uncle Oliver gave them the
flute for wedding present, because
he said he was actually afraid of its
influence in the possession of con-
firmed bachelor like himself.

FAMOUS TREE NEAR CAPITAL
Dead Now, 1t Was Used as Signal
Station by Confederate Soldiers
Under General Early.

a dead giant of tree stands in
the grounds Of the United States Cen
eraI Military hospital at Washington
Walter Reed hospital. The great
branches Of this tree have been sawed
off -amputated might be the better
word, bearing in mind the place where
the tree stands.-so that only the trunk
and the butts of the big branchc: re-
.la.n. 1t was Il gaunt, dead tree when
the. hospital was established. Il was
j yellow I,oplar, and died good i%lany
years age from age and neglect 1t
Was stripped CT it's bark long ago aud
It's bare God is wcathered to al ashcn
gray.
There is a tablet Oh the trunk OF
this tree which bears this legend:
Used as Signal station by Con-
fedrratc soldiers under General Early
during the attack on Washington, July
II and T., 1854 Also occupied by
sharpsloCters.'
When Gen. Jubal Early and his Con-
federate division won the battle Of
ton by marching 20 miles day, and
skirmishing a good part of the time,
he drew up OH the afternoon OF July
II at some distance from the north
line of earth forts and rifle trenches
which had been constructed all around
Washington for the protection Of the
city.
The tree stood in an open field about
1000 yards in front Of Fort Stevens
Oh the rampant Of which President
Lincoln stood during part OF the
fighting, having driven out to the fort
from his summer residence in a cot
tage at the Soldiers home, about two
miles nearer the city. The tree grew
in land lower than the land around It,,
but from among it's branches men
could look out over the fiat or gently
rolling fields that stretched away to
the parapets and bitches Of Fort
Stevens.
When General Early's skirmishers
and the skirmish line which had been
thrown out from Fort Stevens and
from adjacent Notifications were pop
ping away at each other, number Of
Confederates climbed this tree and
continued firing on the Union Skin
mishers.
Not far away and on one of the
busy streets of the national capital
now called Georgia avenue, and then
the Seventh street pike, there Is a
cemetery called Battle cemetery. The
story is that number of the men
whose bones rest there were killed by
shots fired from this tree, which Is
preserved in the grounds Of Walter
Reed hospital.

Wool Pool News.

The cooperative wool marketing
department Of the American Farm Blu
reau federation reports that the Mich
igan farm bureau pool for 1920 was
closed 1t was marketed at cost of
3 to cents per pound less than the
usual method through SPECTATORS
Patrons who shipped their wool to the
Lansing warehouse by freight had a
handling charge Of 4.65 cents per
pound. Those who delivered their wool
direct, eliminating freight and assem-
bling, had handling cost of 1924 cents.
Ohio reports approximately 7,OOO,-
600 pounds in the 1921 wool pool with
sales of more than 100000 pounds,
practically all the pool except the De-
laine grades.
"There is a better tone to the wool
Market says c. J. Fawcett, the farm
bureaus wool director The total
consumption for the month of August
was 51.1S5.OO0 pounds as compared
with 32,S4S,OOO pounds in the same
month in 1920.

We Americans have been extrava-
CANT. We have literally educated our
selves to be careless with the most
expensive things we buy. 1t Is con-
servatively estimated that the care
lessness Of American motor car drivers
during 1920 cost them In round figures
$150,OOO,O0O, and this applies only to
tires. What has been your share?
You have contributed your bit. You
must now take this tire problem seri-
ously. Get every mile out of every
tire that the manufacturer has built
into it. If you don't you are the loser
and If everybody is loser then the
tire deficit for 1921 will outrival last
year, for there are more motor car
owners today than there were year
ago.
Good Advice to Follow.
If you follow the advice given In
this article you will get more service
from your tires, and at the end of the
season your expense will have been
so much less than it ever was before
that you will no longer neglect your
tires.
The illustrations shown here are Of
the genuine abused tires, hundreds of
which are discarded every day through
out the United States before they
have given the service for which they
were built. The mileage was built
into each tire, but the car driver lost
it through carelessness.
Illustration A shows the result Of
improper application Of tire chains.
When chains are used. they should
not be applied tightly. Leave them
just loose enough so that every time
the wheel turns the cross Chains will
not strike the same spot in the tire.
IF you do not heed this advice you
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-11-03

might preserve this illustration as al
actual picture of your tire.
A more common tire injury is shown
in illustration 3. This effect Is due
to faulty alignment of the front
wheels. A bent axle or steering
knuckle may be responsible or possibly
the demountable rim was not perfectly
applied.
Accidents are not always RESPONSE
BILE for the front wheels being out Of
alignment, but frequently this Is the
case. All cars, through no fault In
manufacture, are subject to this con-
dition. and the first indication will be
given when you notice the tread Of
one or both tires wearing as though 4
rough file had been used on them.
If the tread becomes worn through and
the fabric affected, then the tire Is
beyond repair. Correct trouble quick
ly to avoid necessity of this. There
is but one remedy, and that is care.
Test your front wheels Frequently
and be sure that they are in proper
alignment. . ::
Neglected Cuts.
Illustration G shows casing with
two-thirds of its life wasted, for
neglected cuts in the tough rubber
tread have caused it to blister. In
this instance sand and dirt have been
forced into the cuts and worked
around under the tread. Note the
several large bumps where the sand
and dirt have accumulated. If tire
is carefully watched for these cuts
q n,ostic viii, hoo, then6, o,,icklv and
no damage will result.
The tire shown at D shows the effect
Of skldding, caused by sudden appli-
cation of the brakes. Part Iof its
face has been scraped off. Purely
careleSsness.

Effective Fly Swatters.

Some, not all, animals use their
tails as whisks to fan away flies and
other winged denominations. In India
a favorite present to valued mistress
mr. nurse is a yak's tail. 1t makes an
ideal "swatter" in that country where
flies are certainly no joke at the right
soason for them. AS you see the
handsome tails in use, you realize that
the yak, half-buffalo, half-sacred COW

THE BILLION DOLLARS
FOR FARM RELIEF

"The billion dollars appropriated by
congress to the War Finance corpora
ton to be reloaned through the CO.
operative agricultural associations and
local banks is now available, the local
banks having received recently the ap-
plication forms and are now in posi-
ton to make loans" said H. B. Fuller.
secretary of the North Dakota Farm
Bureau federation. at is the belief Of
the farm bureau added Mr.. Fuller,
"that this money will prove of the
greatest benefit to the farmers of
North Dakota" The bill creating this
fund originated in the office Of the Am
erican Farm Bureau federation in Chi
cugo and was taken to Washington by
Carl Nrooman who was then working
for the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton.
Mr.. Fuller states that the method of
procedure would be for the local bank
to make application through the War
Finance committee, of which E. j..
WeiScr, president of the First National
bank of Fargo. is chairman Of the
North Dakota committee, and when the
application is accompanied by the pro-
per farm paper as security. it will be
allowed by til" committee and passed
on to the War Finance corporation
who will loan the money direct to the
bank. This money is available for
farm loans only.
