OVERLAND IS
SELECTEDFOR
ROAD " ORK
To Be Used in Survey Work
on Highest Highway in
the World.
PASSES POWER TESTS
Performance Leads to Pur-
chase by Colorado State
Highway Commissioners.

Marked tribute was paid to the
power and stamina of the Over
land motor by the State Highway De-
partment of Colorado by the selection
of an Overland Spad for the pre-
liminary work on tho new Mt. Evans
Auto Highway, which will have the
distinction, when completed, OF being
the highest automobile roadway in the
world, exceeding in altitude that OF
Pixies Peak by several hundred feet.
This car is now used in survey
work which requires operation over
almost inaccessible grades, partially
constructed roads and eren to points
which have not yet been touched by
a grading crew.
Test Led to Purchase.
The sale of the Spad was COM
pleted only after exhaustive COM
petitive tests with other light cars
over some of the toughest roads with
in the state boundaries. 1t is the first
Overland ever purchased for this work
by the Colorado State Highway Com
missioners, but since its preliminary
showing it has been decided that all
future requirements for mountain
work would be made with Over
lands.
Since the first car was put into ser
vice on the Mt. Evans highway ad-
ditional cars have been added to the
highway departments at Delta and
Rifle, Colo.
Within the last two weeks have
been staged two of the most remark
able demonstrations Of the Overland's
power in widely-separated parts of
the country. Before a crowd of 5000
an Overland assembled and descended
the meteor-glazed sides of Stone
Mountain. the large granite boulder,
just outside of Atlanta, Ca. which
is a point of interest for visitors to
the southern metropolis.
Climbs Difficult Grade.
About three-quarters of the way up
the mountain there is grade that
has never before been negotiated and
the most skeptical were positive that
this stretch Of the journey could not
be made. 1t is a mass of smooth
granite with no definite traction. The
grade approximates a 45-degree an
gle. But the car rode over it easily
and proceeded to the extreme pin
nacle of the mountain.
The descent is even a more per-
ilous phase of the trip. Several cars

advantage. We generally seed a

Of vetch here on the college farm

developed for hay. The hay is Of a
very superior quality. Vetch may
also be combined with rye, or a
beardless variety of wheat. 1t can
also be grown in combination with
any Of the cereals mentioned and
with Crimson clover. We are inclined
to think that vetch does best when
used with a cereal, as it gives the
vines something on which to climb.
On rich land, it makes rather
vigorous growth and a dense cover

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

The reason that there are more
divorces than there used to be is be-
cause people are demanding more
| Of life than they used to- We de-
mand better houses, better food, bet
! ter clothes, more amusement, more
luxuries, more happiness, than our
parents and grandparents did.
In former times when people got
married they expected settle down
to a life of hard work and self-de-
NAL, and to putting up with what
| ever sort of q disposition their nus
band or wife had.
Now when a young couple get
married they expect to continue to
amuse themselves pretty much as
they did before marriage, and to
/ find a super-ag reeable companion
and playmate in the man or woman
they marry.
And when they don't, they don't
suffer in silence. They hop to the
divorce court and try it over again.
Undoubtedly, also, the emancipa-
ton Of women swells the number
of divorces, for far more women di-
vorce their husbands than men di-
vorce their wives. Probably men
are just as good husbands now as
they ever were, but grandmother
had to stand grandpa, no matter
how unfaithful he was to her, no
matter how he abused her or how
stingy and cantankerous he was,
for grandpa was grandmas meal
ticket and her card of admission to
good society.
A divorced woman was dis
graced woman no matter how right
| eous she was, nor how justified she
was in Kidding herself of a fiend, so
she had to endure miserable mar.
| riage with what patience she could.
But now we view the matter differ
emily. We see that no good purpose
is achieved by keeping two people
| together who have come to hate
each other. and who bring out the
worst that is in each other, and that
no one should be made to paw with
a lifetime of misery for mistake
that was made in all innocence and
good faith.
And, when every woman can sup
port herself, she does not have to
stay tied to a man she loathes for
the sake of a livelihood.
I do not believe that bachelors are
kept from marrying by the spectacle
Of unhappy marriages. We never
| learn from the mistakes oe others
because we all feel that we could
! have succeeded where they failed
Tho high cost of living and selfish
ness are the real reasons why bache.
| lors stay bachelors.

should be made the perpetual family
goats, as they SO often are.
For this reason think it is a good
thing if the older ones make the
younger ones understand that they
must pay back, when they get to
earning money, all that the older
ones have spent on their education.
Younger brothers and sisters are
very apt to depend too much upon
their older brothers and sisters, and
think that because John and Mary
educated them that John and Mary
should take care of them the balance
of their lives.
| know many cases in which tie
eldest son or daughter of family
has sacrificed his or her entire life
to taking care of younger brothers
and sisters, and often enough they
have gotten scant pay in apprecia-
ton or gratitude. I recall one case
in particular in which a pretty
young girl refused to marry the man
she loved in order to educate a bril-
liant young brother. For many
years she toiled like a slave, all of
her earnings going to put him
through college and law school, and
maintain him until he got start in
his profession, and later on, when he
was a distinguished judge, and she
was poor and old and sick, he paid
his debt to her by boarding her in
the poorest, cheapest place in a mis-
cradle little town and refusing to
pay her Doctors bills.
Nevertheless, there is such a thing
as duty to ones family, and there is
an obligation of honor for the strong
to help the weak. Sometimes it hap
pens that one member of a family
seems to inherit all of the strength
of body and mind, and to get all OF
the intelligence and backbone and
initiative that the parents had to
bequeath to their offspring, and in
| such cases the gifted one should
| surely look out for his brothers and
sisters who have no faculty for get
ting along themselves.
The man with executive ability
| should make places in his business
| for his brothers and sisters who are
| too blind to ever see the open door
| of opportunity for themselves. The
rich man should give of his plenty
| to those less we'll off, but he should
be careful not to let the spineless
| lean on him too heavily, nor make
parasites of those to whom he is
generous.
Dear Dorothy DiX-Why are there
so many more divorces nowadays
| than there used to be? DO you think
| that the way women dress now anC
| the modern style of dancing have
anything to do with it? Do you think
| that bachelors are afraid to marry
now because they see so many Elk
amples of unhappy marriages?
j. A. f.
Answer: I don't think that the
way women dress has any bearing
on the divorce question. A mans
| grievance against his wife has tc
| be greater than the length of hel
skirt to make him willing to pay
alimony to get rid of her. Illus
| bands have always criticized their
wives clothes and declared that the
fashion, no matter what it was in
any age, was the limit Of asininity
but they went on living with the
women whose costumes they derid
ed. Nor do I believe that jazz is
responsible for marital infelicity.

Using Calcium Arsenate Against
the Boil WeeViI

Using Calcium Arsenate Against
the Boil WeeviI
II. L. B., Washington, Ga,
writes: | wish all the informa-
ton you can give me on the
busting of cotton with calcium
arsenate.
There are many points to be con-
sidered with reference to the spray
ing of cotton in 1920 with calcium
arsenate. Last year we obtained
increases from the use of this ma
terial, but they were not as large
as we hoped to secure and we hes1-
tate to recommend the extensive use
of calcium arsenate at this time on
that account. If a substantial
shrinkage in the price of this mate
rial and in the equipment used in
it's application were to take place
we feel that we could recommend
the use of calcium arsenate again
this year. The cost Of materials ap-
pears to be about as high as ever,
and hence it does not seem that
much profit would accrue to the
landowner from using calcium arse
nate with cotton at present prices,
and in view of the great uncertainty

will sell for next fall.
The general rules or regulations
governing the use of calcium arse
nate are comparatively simple. You
should not use over Z pounds per
acre at an application. A single ap-
plication will be of very little benefit.
You must apply this material effec-
lively and with the best machinery
and equipment. You will need to
apply it at least once a week. The
spraying to be done successfully will
have to be supervised by a compe-
tent white man. If a rain comes
Immediately after the poison is APP
piled and washes it off the applica-
ton must be made again. The ma
terial will have to be applied at
night, or when the plants are moist.
The tractor or power busting ma
chine are by far the most satisfac-
tory, and one could probably afford
to purchase one where as much as
40 acres are to be busted. The
power machine could easily take
care of an S0-acre crop. A hand
machine will do satisfactory work
on a small farm, but hand machine
cannot be expected to take care of
more than 10 to II acres. The cal
Cium arsenate used should not con
tain more than 40 per cent of ar
senic pentoxid, and not more than
OTIS per cent water soluble arsenic.
The density should be 80 to 100 cubic
inches per pound.

Quoted largely by union labor, which
has the machinery for organizing
such, but they are attended by persons
from all walks in life who are as
welcome as if they were members of
organized labor Indeed union labor
prefers to have non-members attend
Labor Day gatherings so that they
may hear the union side of the great
labor problem, and hearing it they
may understand and have sympathy
This Labor Day should furnish an
excellent opportunity to impress upon
all people the fact that the American
worker is not a destroyer. His mind
works constructively with the sound
of his hammer and the buzz of his

down the great structure of civiliza-
tion which has taken many years in
the building, and attempt to erect
another in its place over night. He
knows it can't be done. Men may
fancy and possibly hope such things,
but they are merely pastimes. The
worker may have his dreams and his
ideals, but he is balanced by the logic
of reasoning and the constructive
training of his occupation, the blend
ing of which has made the labor
movement of this country what it is
today.

the final determination of the pres
ent issue.
This is not the time to introduce
controversial subjects that will tend
to divide the workers. What is
needed most is unity. Without it sue
cess against such a powerful and
united opposition will be difficult to

American colonists, United we stand,
