CHICKEN THIEVES BECOME
MENACE
Floyd County Organizing vigilantes

Charles City, Iowa-Chicken THE
yes, ravaging the chicken houses of
Floyd county farmers by night, have
increased their activities to such an
extent in the past month that resi-
dents of the county, through the
medium of the farm bureau, are or
ganizing to stamp out this lawleSs
activity.
A meeting of representatives from
each township was called at the
courthouse at Charles City recently
and the problem discussed.
Poultry dealers in the section have
been warned 10 be on the watch for
persons of suspicious character who
have chickens for sale, and vigilance
measures re being taken by each
farmer in the county for the protec-
ton of his flock.
The county attorney has been en-
listed in the chicken thief drive, and
has stated that of all despicable Grim
inals he loves the chicken thief the
least and will do everything in his
power to apprehend and convict Of
TENDERS.
Operations of the thieves have
scaused much worry and dismay to
farm wives, who often times plan 90
take a vacation trip on the proceeds
of the sale of her flock, or buy some
much needed household furnishings,
the farm bureau director states.
Night patrols on the, roads of the
townships have been suggested, as
means of combating poultry depre-
dations, as we'll as individual identi'
cation marks on the fowls.

was decidedly an Indian day, for
Floyd CIyrner of Denver turned in
both the victories for the 81 expert

these accomplishments it was the
first time in the history Of the Capis-

ner has cannonaded over the finish
line without tractor band on the
driver, young Clymer using only
chain grips.
Seven of the sixteen prizes, includ-

performance of the day were the lau-
rels won by the Indian which entered
the field against all classes of motor

sizes.

AMERICAN Bicycle
RIDER TELLS HOW
To HANDLE CYCLE

Fred st. Onge. Americas foremost
exponent of bicycle riding. gives
some valuable advice on choosing,
equipping and adjusting bicycle.
A bicycle with frame too high
or too low for the riders stature, or
one that is geared too high. or one
whose saddle or handlebars are sadly
in need OF adjustment. naturally re-
suits in an awkward and unconfort-
able riding posture and detracts
greatly from the otherwise perfect
pleasure of bicycling.
To get the proper height. says st.
Onge. the rider should stand beside
his bicycle and adjust the saddle on
a level with the hips. Then sit in
the saddle, having the crank hanger
at its lowest point. In this position,
the rider should be able to touch the
pedal with his heel. the leg being
bent slightly at the knee.
The front end or nose OF the saddle
should be on line directly with the
cranlSs when they are perpendicular.
The saddle never should be set more
than one inch back of this line.
A natural, comfortable riding posi-
ton is promoted by having the han
dlebars adjusted to a point practi-
cally level with the saddle. The
handlebars should not be spread
wider than the shoulders of the rider.
The rider is subjected to severe
handicap if this mount is adjusted
out Of these limitations. and riding
then becomes laborious and difficult.
especially against a strong head wind
and over hilly country roads.
Al bicycle rider should never pat
tern his riding position after the
more or less crouched position as
sumed by a motorcycle rider, con-
tinues st. Onge. Should he do SO,
hill climbing involves the greatest
exertion and long distance riding be-
comes practically physical impos-
sibiIity.
whether a bicycle is ridden as a
utility or as pleasure vehicle, or
both. the most practical gear is 24x9,
"A, or 26x10, T2 gear. A bicycle
geared too high necessitates unneces-
sary effort.
The figures compiled by the motor
vehicle department of Connecticut
show total registration Of $4,000
motor vehicles and the number of BIZ
cycles ridden is estimated at 10000.
According to official statistics. the
ratio of the number of bicycles per
one fatality to operator is:
BICYCLES, one in 5000; motor vehicles,
passenger cars. one in 6.299; motor
vehicles, commercial cars. one in
6,003.
The Bicycle Manufacturers asso-
citation, in furtherance of its desire
to reduce accidents to the minimum,
has recommended to all dealers that.
when sale of a bicycle is made, they
instruct the purchaser as to the laws
of the highways and also has recon-
mended that each manufacturer in
sert in its catalogues and all printed
matter the following:
/. The bicycle is q vehicle and
therefore entitled to the same rights
and privileges on the highways en-
ioyed by horse drawn vehicles of au
tomobiles.
2. observe the laws governing the
use Of highways.
9. Never ride on the wrong side oi
| the road.
4. Do not "hitch on to a vehicle
5. Equip your bicycle with a bel
! or other warning device
6. Use lamps at night for youl
| own protection.
