Thousands Of bonfres have cracked
throughout the state OF Minnesota

thousands more will be started before

The fires were started by state po-

forbids signs on the rights Of way OF

Women in the Fight.
The new state law does not inter
fere with the rights OF farmers to lease
their land for the erection OF signs.
The women of the state, however, are
in the fight to have sign boards 50

able to erect them on private land.
1t was the women Of the state under
the leadership of Mrs. NJ K. Knautf,
prominent clubwoman, who were be-

scenery OF the state was dishgured by
the billboards and that they made tray
ell unsafe. The fight to abolish the
signs was bitterly fought in the leglsla-

The industry, courage and faith evil
denced bv the farmers of the Nation
during the past three years are slowly
bringing their reward Improvement
in agricultural conditions continues
not as RAPIDLY as desired or needed. nor
as rapidly as deserved, but nevertheless
il continues. The promise OF the year
has been fulfilled
So we come to the end OF the third
wear of postwar depression with a
feeling of greater confidence born Of
better times already realized and with
justified hope of still further improve
1nent in 1924.
In general. the crops OF 1928 were
good. Some sections in the cotton belt
and in the wheat belt suffered from the
ravages of weather and insect pests,
but the aggregate crop production was
ronal TO the average Of the FIVE pre-
Ceedino wears
Considering money return we find
that the value of most crops are great
err than in 1922. The total value OF
all crops is II per cent greater. The
values of the wheat, rye, rice, clover
seed. cranberry. peach and pear crops
are below 1922; in the case OF wheat !
per cent below The values OF all
other important crops are greater.
1t is difficult to measure the produc-
tive value of livestock during the year,
dependent as il is upon crops market
ed in that form. In general, it has
been a prosperous year for sheep grow
ers. fairly good for dairymen, less sat

discouraging for growers OF range cat

London's Welcome to New Year

Hotel Men Try Guido Each Other in Novelties Big Bens Mid

England so far as the newspapers

900 Londoners would have sued the
government if they had heard it, for il

Whereas in the old days the English
man used to sniff his brandy and call
Tor more coffee, this year there was a
so-calIed bar with a man who shook
cocktails with one hand and two bar
maids who did nothing but take in
money, and a major domo, with mus
tache like Doc Cooks whose job
seemed to be to survey the rooms and
point out the thirsty.
A few Americans brought TASKS on

head waiter tasted before serving after
the ancient English custom dating

American touch with oysters as first

glish oyster you will understand. The

As a matter OF fact, Shakespeare

Sales leadership in Detroit is far more important endorsement than its similar po- sition elsewhere. For motor car values are better understood than anywhere else in the world.
 To date this year Hudson and Essex sales in Detroit and Wayne County have outnmnbered any other car, with the excep- ton of the two lowest priced four-cylinder cars.
 This unanswerable evidence is proof of what, the most critical and best informed group of motor buyers in the world think of Hudson and Essex.

PROBLEMS INVOLVED
IN CAR PURCHASES
Points in Connection With Every
Day Use of Machines Brought
to Attention.

There is a point In connection with
everyday use of an automobile that
motorists generally should take into
consideration when buying a car, In
the opinion of Z. T. Strong, sales
mana ger Of the Buick Motor Co. That
point. he says, is how well the car In
question is adapted to the individual
needs of the purchaser from the
standpoint of performance.
ITO illustrate" explains Mr.. Strong:
a man who uses his car entirely or
largely within the limits of big city
must use it within certain well-de-
fined speed limits in order to comply
with the ordinances and the driving
conditions encountered. In traffic he
must throttle down to five or seven
miles an hour, drive from 10 to ID
miles an hour through the business
district and from Is to 20 miles an
hour in the outlying districts. To
give him good service his motor car
must perform economically and effi-
GENTLY within those speed limits, and
have sufficient reserve power to ac-
celerate smoothly and quickly at low
speeds.
ON the other hand, any owner who
drives in the country encounters en-
, tirely different conditions, as the
major part of his driving is done at
speeds in excess of 20 miles an hour,
and a smooth stretch of road with
speed UP to so or so miles an hour, IL
his car will go that fast.
These two cases represent the ex-
tremes, but they are sufficient to IL
lustrate the point that a motor car
for miscellaneous city and country
driving must perform well ut al
speeds from to so miles per hour

Anything These Days.

Running downhill recently driver
found to his utter surprise that a
motor truck, supposedly at rest in the
downhill position on the right side
Of the road, was actually going up
hill backward. The driver could not
get it through his head for a mo-
ment and nearly lost control of his
machine trying to dope 1t out, which
showed that he was not prepared to
expect most anything nowadays. The
truck driver was utilizing the lower
gear ratio Of reverse in order to en-
able the engine to pull up an extra
heavy load. Incidentally, which side
of the road should a driver use
under such circumstances? There
appears to be no law ruling how far
a. driver is privileged to back UP.

the returns from the show are all in it
will be found that these figures have
been considerably increased, because not
all manufacturers have revealed all the
details of their new products.
New Cylinder Arrangements.
Another element of newness, almost If
not quite as attention-conpelltng as
these other two features, is the introduc-
ton of several more makes OF cars
with eight-cylinder engines in which all
the cylinders are in a line, as distin-
guished from those in which cylinders
are arranged V-fashion in two blocks
of four each.
The appearance OF these motors, aside
from any mechanical advantage which
they may have, represents a distinct
advance in the art of engine building,
In that they emphasize the compactness
that modern design has achieved. There
would scarcely have been room under an
engine hood a few years ago for eight
cylinders in a line. Today such motors
occupy little, If any, more room than a

TRY BACKING OUT.
When Caught in Snow Go Slowly
on Accelerator.

When caught in n snowdrift so
deep that the car cannot get traction
enough to proceed. try backing out.
Reverse gear is lowest of any of the
speeds. thus giving the engine great
est pulling power, provided the driver
does not make the mistake of apply
ing the power too quickly, in which
case the wheels will be still more in
clined to spin. Many motorists fear
to back through snow in the belief
that the snow will start packing
around the fywheel and engine case
as the engine pan scoops IT up. But
this is seldom the case, since the rear
axle and differential housing serve TO
cut down the snow as the car backs.

TALKS OF COMPRESSORS.
Writer Finds Many Types of Valve
Spring Variety.

There are numerous types Of valve
spring compressors on the market, or
which may be improvised, each Of
which possesses certain advantages over
other types. A compressor may be
easily made that possesses the ad-
vantage of COMPRISING two springs
at one time. A piece Of fat stock is
slotted to slip over two adjacent
pushrods. The center of the piece is
drilled to hold a stud, which is riv-
eted over to prevent turning. Another
piece is slotted to slip over the valve
stems in the same manner and is
drilled to pass over the stud. The
stud carries a nut, which when turned
lifts the upper piece and congresses
the two springs. The springs and the
tool may be left in position while the
valves are being ground.

FAN BELT TIGHTENING.
Majority Kept Too Tight, Survey
Indicates.

Your fan belt keeps getting loose
because you keep tightening 1t too
much. Give new belt a good
stretching before attaching 1t. A
week later 1t may need to be taken
up a little, but just a little. Then
forget 1t.
More trouble has resulted from
belts that are too tight than from
those too loose, because the tight
belt either becomes loose again or
breaks.
