Returns After Two Months Tour
OF Europe-CouBtries Rapidly

England is rapidly forgetting
The late war, Belgium has covered
up her devastated country almost
foncealing any evidence Of past
warfare. but France. maintaining
her army with forces on the Rhine
nad other parts OF the surrounding
country. still bears mute evidence
OF a terrible struggle" E. C. Fisher,
superintendent of schools and past
district governor of the Rotary club
OF Illinois, said today.
Nh. Fisher returned last night
from the International convention
of the Rotary clubs in Edinburgh,
Scotland, at which he delivered two
addresses before the RotaFians from
all parts of the world. He spoke
upon Educational and Rotary" and
= Relation of Employer and En-
sploye". A party of 1000 Rotarians
from the United States sailed from
New York June l and following
The convention toured Belgium,
France and England, visiting the
battlefelds and studying the habits
and systems of the foreign coun-
tries
After landing in Neville on the
northern coast of ireland, and at
tending the convention, the Rota-
Tians were divided into groups for |
the tour of the country. The his |
toric places of interest in Scotland |
were first visited, including the !
sbirthplaces of Sir Walter Scott, |
Ruskin and Wordsworth. Places (
of note in England were on the i
Itinerary and the party had the
honor of being present at a govern
ment dinner given by Lord Riddell
and Lady Aston. It.was also enter

Mr.. Fisher said, "Shellholes and
battle-torn areas in Belgium have
practically been covered up and the
land is now under cultivation, al
Though in the cities can still be /,
seen the ruins which will soon be
Rebuilt. The reason that Belgium
is recovering so rapidly is because
1t has no international problems
and property is covered by govern
ment bonds. If people expect to
carry on the same line of business,
their stores and their homes are re-
built by the government.
THE hattlefelds of France have |
never been touched, due to the
maintenance of the regular army in
various sections of the country We
visited the cemeteries, Chateau

Knox Tire And Rubber Com
pany's Tires Stand Hard
est Road Tests

The Reese Motor company of Col
umbus, one of the new automobile
building companies, has perfected a
light car which experts have thor
oughiy examined, and claim that it
will evolutionize the light motor car
industry.
In the accessory book put out by
this company appears the following:
"In selecting tire equipment, a tire
designed to promote easy steering
was adopted for the front wheels. For
the rear wheels tires having tread
design insuring traction, non-skid-
ding and long wearing qualities were
these requirements and we therefore
have decided that the product of the
Knox Tire and Rubber Company Of
Mount Vernon, Ohio, will be our stan
dard equipment"
Mr.. Reese of the Reese Motor COM
pany investigated many tire designs
for his new car during the summer of
1890. Finally he decided that the
Knox tire would stand the toughest
usage, and hardest tests that his car
could give it. He ordered set to
be made at once for his tests.

The Knox Tire & Rubber Company,
went to the factory of the Erie Cord
Tire company and had a set of tires
made up from the Knox mold and
core equipment according to specifi-
cations which will be used for the
construction of all Knox tires and
equipped the Reese car. Mr.. Reese
reports that the fires gave far better
service than he bad anticipated for
tire under the strain and stress
which he has put them through.

The Salvation Army desire to be
OF greater service to the community.
it has no desire to enter the field
that others occupy and to which it is
not particularly adapted, but in its
own particular field, it would be glad
to have the community use it and its
officers in doing the kind of work for
which we are suited.
Every work of value requires tools
and equipment, and the character Of
the equipment is determined by the
kind of work to be accomplished.
The tools and equipment of jew.

The Salvation Army does not need
an elegant building, such as is neces-
sary for large and wealthy church,
but it does need simple, plain build

Friends of the avmy here have in

knowing that it is impossible for Capt.

cal work to render this community
the efficient service they desire to
give.

WIDE AWAKE WILL
GRADE UP HERDS
NORTH FARMERS. HOLD GOOD
MEETING-WILL SPECIAL
IZE ON BEEF BREEDS

d. B. Noble, county agricultural
agent, and Senator Henry Lowe of
Culbertson, were in the city Tues
day evening on their way home from
an important and successful meeting
of the Farm Bureau Community club
at Wide Awake, which was held that
afternoon.
The meeting was called for the
special purpose of discussing breeds
of cattle and laying the foundation
of a campaign to standardize on
breeds so far as possible. Shorthorns
and Herefords were far in the lead
for preference. The discussions
were led by w. l. Burnison and Sen
ator Henry Lowe, the former advo-
eating Herefords and the latter Short
horns.
The farmers present seemed to be
about equally divided between the
two breeds, but this will not deter
the whole community from going
ahead with their campaign for bet
ter cattle. Mr.. Noble characterized
the meeting as one of the best he
had attended and he expressed it as
his opinion that the start that had
been made would result in l 5 or more
farmers purchasing pure bred sires
to start their herds the coming year.
Senator Lowe is one of the owners
Of the well known Lowe & Powers
stock farm whose herds of short
horns are among the best in the
numbers of premiums at fairs each
season. The Senator is certainly
qualified to speak concerning his fav-
)rite bred.
As head of the county Farm Bur
,au Mr. Noble is meeting with fine
success in getting many communities
for the valuable cooper
tive work included in the Farm Bu-
eau plan, and is conscientiously in
crested in the work.
