GREAT CHANCE FOR
 IMPROVED SERVICE
Hines, Expects Better Railroad
 Conditions to Develop

Boston, Oct. 17.-Walker D. Hines former director general of railroads pointed out new opportunities for in- genuity and initiative in railroad oper- ation in an address at the annual meeting of the associated industries of Massachusetts today.
 The present difficulties in railroad service he said constituted only a temporary emergency condition He said that while standardization of wages, agreement on working condi- tions and the decisions of the labor board had restricted the initiative of the railroads, there was still oppor- tunity to make progress.
 He expressed the belief that rail- road managements while concentrat- ing their attention very largely upon efficiency in the movement of trains. had not given sufficient attention to the efficiency of labor employed in the terminals and in the maintenance of trackage and equipment.

 The Biggest Field.
 But there remains an even greater field for effort and initiative and that is the field of the relationship be- tween the management and the em- ployes. At the present time I think many railroad arrangements are giv- ing serious attention to this great problem

New York, Oct. 17.-With an cleo trical device of his own contrivance hitched to the ordinary lighting cur rent, George West, 21 years old, shocked himself to death in his home at Rutherford. N. J., on Sunday after noon. So far as available records show he was the first to use cleo tricity as means of suicide. In face of the official verdict that he had done so, his family stoutly insisted that he had died accidentally while experimenting.
 The youth was the mainstay of an orphan family of three-himself and his two sisters Sophie and Margaret.

hogs and other pure-bred stock are
doing much for the future prosper
ity of the country. Eliminating al
together the value of fine pure-bred
boar, and s0ws as a breeding pro-

bred hogs make bigger hogs in much
less time and on much less feed than
scrubs. The pure-bred therefore, are
much cheaper to raise, own and sell
than the scrubs, When we have all
found out in this respect, what some
already know, many of our present

FARM DEMONSTRATION IN
SENENTY-THREE COUNTIES
Much Good Work Shown by Report
Of Accomplishments

Some idea of the great size OF
which farm demonstration work has
grown in Oklahoma can be- gained by
figures given of work one in the
scventy-thrcc of Oklahoma'S seven
tiy-ninc counties in which the work
is in progress.
To begin with 53l farmers had
been enlisted as corn demonstrators.
OF this number, 1868 made reports,
showing an average yield per acre of
ABA bushels, which was 1862 bushels
more than the average of land near
by. There were 7l2 cotton demon
strators, 252 of whom reported an
average yield Of 7l2 pounds of seed
cotton; and 473 wheat demonstrators,
80 reporting 2l.9 bushels per acre.
Among livestock activities, county
agents influenced the purchase dur
ing 1921 of II pure-brcd stations,
d jacks, 108 brood mares, 256 bulls
and 1921 pure-bred cows and heif-
ers to swell dairy herds, $40 pure
bred bulls, 748 pure-bred COWS or
heifers AMI 4,567 grade cows for beef
breeding purposes, and 584 pure-bred
boars and 2,422 pure-bred sows to
build up swine herds.
Of the 1902 girls and 4,124 wo-
men enrolled for all lines of home
demonstration work, Miss Browns
report shows that 1,097 girls and
733 women who filed formal reports
on food preservation stored 1883
quarts of fruit, 18O,847 quarts of
vegetables, S5,557 quarts of pickles,
jam and jelly, 98,8O2 quarts of cam
ed meats and 1887 pounds of cured
meat. The value of these products
is estimated at $143,895. Demonstra-
tors working under the direction of
agents marketed $51,594 worth of
dairy products and raised either for
the market or home consumption
$21 $3.50 worth of poultry, including
the value of eggs produced.

Farmers Burning Only Moldy Cor

Farmers Burning Only MOldy Corn
Iowa farmers are not burning corn
this winter, except to very small
extent. For the greater part, such
corn as has been burned has been
moldy or inferior corn, not suitable
for feeding or marketing, and that
has always been done, more or less.
1t is the judgment of men who are
in close touch with the situation that
neither the supply of corn in Iowa
nor the market price has been ap-
preciably affected by the very linz
tied corn burning in the state.
These statements about the situa-
tlon are based on reports just obtain
rd from county agents by r. X, Bliss,
the director of agricultural extension
ut Iowa State college.

RIGHT WAY TO PLACE
INNER TUBE IN CASE
First Thing to Do Is to Partly
Initiate 1t.
Bad Practice to Allow II to Rest on
Ground or Garage Floor, Thus
Picking Up Particles Of Sand.
Cinders or Oil.

Unexpected outbursts from inner
tubes originate from sins OF omission
and commission. BY emphasizing the
more glaring ones II is believed the
motorist can be saved the dollars that
would otherwise be wasted.
Haste In replacing punctured or
blown-out tubes Is one trouble. The
right way to place tube into cas-
ing is to first partly initiate 1t. Then
II should be applied carefully, the side
bearing the stem always being kept In
sight. When II Is In the casing II
should be talced carefully and the fin.
gers forced all around the ure 10 make
sure that tale has been evenly dis
trlbuted. A tube never should be in
serted unless partially Inflated.
In pumping a tube before insertion
most motorists allow II to rest on the
ground or on the floor of the garage
This practice is wrong. II allows the
tube to pick up particles of sand, Gin
ders and oil, which create friction and
eventually tiny holes.
The right way is to place the tube
over the left shoulder and pump With
the right hand. Thus no portion OF
the tube will be allowed to touch the
road or pavement. When tube Is well
rounded with air and free from
wrinkles II is ready for insertion In
the casing, and then should be pumped
to the prescribed pressure.
