Muy Be Hard Task TO
Teach Parrot to Talk

Parrots can be more obstinate
than mules, but if you are de-
termined instructor and not easily
discouraged excellent results will
follow.
Remember that the best talker
Is not the one with the gayest plum
age but the gray parrot found
principally on the west coast OF
Africa.
If the parrot is to become
talker he will, in the first three or
four days. begin to make confused
and indistinct efforts to copy your
remark. Whenever he does this
reward him with taste of his
favorite delicacy, us this will induce
further efforts.
In q few weeks the parrot should
be able to eXclaim good day" or
repeat any remark you have taught
him whenever he sees any one ell
| ter or leave.
Other appropriate phrases can be
taught in the same manner, such
as the useful remark, "Time to be
, going" by .uttering the phrase as
you look at your watch. 1t is
always wise to teach each sentence
separately, never starting Il new
| one until the previous one has been
mastered.
In three or four months your
parrot should be speaker Of some
pretensions. If, however, mt the
end of this time he has shown no
sign Of protitlng by your lessons
be assured he never will. The
most to expect is that he may one
day make good whistler.

English Designs on
Playing Card Faces

While we are indebted to the
French for the modern suits and
colors of our playing cards, the de-
signs of the face cards are English.
The French changed the portraits
in their decks from time to time
to honor first one, then another
royal family, and always printed
the name of the honOred one be-
side his portrait. The English also
made changes, but eventually set
tied on King Henry VIII. and
Elizabeth of York, his mother and
the wife Of Henry VII, says the
Detroit News.
1t is interesting to note that the
queen, whose marriage terminated
the War Of the Roses, still holds
the rose of York in her hand. The
knave, or fool, now called the jack,
was the court jester, whose chief
duty it was to amuse the king. He
still wears the TESTERS costume,
though the modern custom of cut
ting the bodies of the court figures
In half has eliminated the most
distinguishing characteristics of his
dress.
The word "ace' probably is
Latin, meaning origin, source, be.
ginning, first. Deuce and trey are
doubtless derived from the Spanish
dos and tres, meaning second and
third.

HESSIAN FLY
Is FOUND IN
WESTERN n. D.
Likely to Cause More Damage
Than at Any Time in the
Past, Indication 7
HOW INSECT WORKS

Fargo, N. d., July 5.-Repofts of
Hessian fly damage to spring wheat
in western North Dakota indicate
that the insect is likely to cause
more damage in the state than it
has at any time in the past, is the
statement of DR.. r. l.. Webster, en-
tomologist at the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural college. "The insect is re-
ported to be very common in Gold
en- Valley county and also occur
ring as far east in the state as
New Salem" he declares. Damage
to spring wheat occurred in several
localities in the northwestern por-
ton of the state last year.
even Cass county will not es-
cape at least scattering damage by
the insect. since we have found the
maggots and 'flaxseeds' in several
spring wheat fields in the vicinity
Of Fargo
AT the present time the insect
can be found by picking out some
of the smaller, spindly plants in
lowest blades down to the crown
of the plant, at which point the
white maggots, or the brown FLAX
seeds will be discovered.
"The insect spends the winter. in
the flaxseed, stage, for the most
part on wheat stubble. From these
flaxseeds emerge in spring the adult
flies; small midge-like insects, only
about one-tenth inch in length,
which deposit their tiny eggs. on
blades of growing wheat. On hatch
ing the maggots work their way
down to the base of the plant where
they feed. Hessian fly maggots are
found within the sheath of the wheat
plant, never inside the stem. The
full grown maggot is pale in color,
about fifth Of an inch long.
"Dry seasons seems to be unfav-
orable to the development of the
Hessian fly in this part of the coun-
try. On the other hand, an excess
of moisture, combined with warmth
especially in early summer, favors
the development of the insect. Un-
der such conditions portion of the
flies emerge early in summer, in
stead of remaining in the flaxseed
stage until the following spring
These flies deposit their eggs or
wheat after it has Joined, and the
maggots work their way down to the
stem just above the joints. At tn
place where the maggots lie tn
stem will be indented. This weak
ems the straw, causing lodging fol
lowing heavy wind. Lodging o
grain is characteristic of Hessial
fly damage.
"Any fields where the insect be
comes common this year should b.
disked and plowed during the. fall
In this way all the insects that ar
on the stubble are buried so dec
in the ground that the flies canno
emerge the following spring and in
fest next years crop. Deep plowinl
lis necessary and the stubble> mus
actually be covered with severa
inches of soil to prevent the file
coming through It. Spring blowing
if done before May 10, will do som
good, but should be-. followed lb'

What is real Balloon Tire?
The true Balloon is a super.size Gum.Dippe
Cord that is specially designed and constructed.
1t has twice the air capacity and operates
fully with only half the pressure of regular tires.
We believe it to be the most important contrbu-
ton to motoring comfort, safety and economy
since the invention of the pneumatic tire

able, or ''Semi-Balloon''?
The so.called balloons that are INTERCHANGEABLE
with present wheel and rim equi pment are merely
1919 to 2Oo diversified cord tires, with fewer plies.
They are little better than your present regular
= cords. The true balloon has double the air ca.
side wall made extra strong and is mounted
on a smaller diameter wheel, that the gear
ratio OF the car is unchanged and the proper fen.
der clearance is provided.
Can real Balloon Tire be applied to
present wheels?
NO. To provide sufficient tire section to carry the
load on low air pressure it is necessary to have
larger tire than can be applied wheels and rims
now on cars using high.pressure tires.
Why are the smaller wheels necessary?
Firestone Balloon Gum.Dipped Cords do not
change the present operation of your car. For in.
stance 730 balloon gun,.dpped cord replaces
33x5 sandard.sze tire. 1t is mounted on a wheel
20 inches in diameter. This makes the outside
diameter actually no greater than the standard tire
it replaces We have special service wheels built
by Firestone, with spokes offset three.quarters of
an inch. This readily takes care of fender and
body clearances. And it is a fact that YOU cannot
replace regular 33x5 tire with a semi.balloon
without wheel changes.

even the worst road smooth to travel. If you have
never ridden real Balloon tires, you cannot con-

Their broad, flexible treads have twice the con-

YES. Ry cushioning jolts and vibration below the

Capitalization of chassis parts is slowed down

Ii What happens when a real Balloon Tire
is punctured?
NOTHING In the first place. they do not pune
they yield rather than be pierced by the puncturine
object. Secondly, when puncture does occur the
air escapes slowly because of the low pressure.
Is Do they make steering harder?
NO. Steering is actually easier when is in

less fatigue to driver, as car holds steadler

Firestone made the low air pressure idea practical

E What made the real Balloon Tire practical?
GUM DIPPING. Low pressure tires require thin

YES. Before announcing Balloon Gum. Dipped
