Plan to Keep Your
Beet Labor Over
Winter!

1t will be a big advantage in your next years beet
operations to have with you experienced hand labor
with which you are well acquainted.
There are three main reasons why beet labor
leaves the district each fall. They are: first, no winter
work; second, a desire to move; and third, houses not
suitable for winter.
Although there is very little winter work for beet
labor in this district, the same is true of any other
district where they would go. Thus, they would not
better themselves by moving. This factor is, of course,
beyond the control of the farmer.
The second and third reasons are within the con-
troll of the farmer. The desire to move can be over
come by friendly, pleasant relations with the labor and
also by helping the labor to spend his topping money
wisely. This money will easily provide flour, beans,
sugar and imperishable staples which can be bought in
the fall to last through the winter.
The third reason and one directly under the farm
ers control is the condition of the labor house. Often
just the addition of building paper or a new roof will
make the house more habitable during the winter. This
work, when necessary, if done now, will show the labor
you really want them for another year.

was accused of malfeasance in Of

after a fair and impartial trial was

Frederic William Vile, noted

in the nations capital last spring,
so the account goes. one prominent
society matron who happened to
know the g of Wyoming's senior
senator. solicited guesses on the
subject from a dozen or so of the
women present. Estimates ranged
all the way from 60 to IS, and
only n woman ventured that he
might be as much as seventy. And,
according to Vile. it was not until
Senator Warren himself assured
them that on his next birthday.
which has since come and gone, he
would be 81 years old, that a single
member of the group was willing
to believe it.

That electric self-starters for auto
mobiles would be advertised in the
year 1925 with the aid of a picture of
a fair damsel riding horseback?
That the man who invested his
money in automobiles for the benefit
of national progress through transpor-
tation would be our most heavily
taxed citizen?
That motor vehicle departments
which are so strict about having
under-age drivers on their roads, could
overlook the danger of allowing the

That the American automobile in
terests would have overlooked the i'm

That only of the II pioneers OF

CAR SHOULD STOP
IN CLEAR COURSE
Must Be Driven So That Il
Can Be Halted Within
Distance to Next.

No vehicle should be operated at a
rate of speed which does not permit
stopping within the assured clear
course ahead
This simple rule, which is calculated
10 eliminate accidents for which a
driver may be held responsible. is
given motorists by DR.. Fl. c. Dickin.
son, physicist at the Bureau of
Standards.
AS explained by DR. Dickinson. the
rule means merely that no one should
drive a motor vehicle at a rate of
speed at any time that would not
allow OF stopping within a distance
where the course could be seen clearly
and where no person, vehicle or train
could be at the same point a s the first
vehicle at the same time. For exam
pie, when approaching a blind street
intersection or road turn or cross
ing speed would be regulated so that
If another vehicle were approaching
on the cross thoroughfare or around
the turn, even on the wrong side, the
vehicles could be stopped before the
two could collide. Similarly, when ap-
preaching a railroad crossing the
speed would be reduced TO such rate
that if an unseen train were coming
the car could be stopped before get.
ting on the track
by buildings, shrubbery or enabank-
nlents the speed should be reduced so
that the car can surely be stopped
before reaching the middle of the cross
street until the angle of vision past
the obstruction is at least As degrees,
and DIR. Dickinson recommended that
cities mark this angle on all street
pavements a. blind intersections and
forbid the parking of vehicles be-
tween such lines and the crossings.
Applies on Hills.
The rule applies equally we'll to
topping a rise in the road and to
passing other vehicles going in the
same direction. The driver should not
approach the top of a hill at a speed
that will not permit him TO stop within
half the distance at which he can
first see a vehicle approaching from
the other side. nor turn out to pass
TO the left of a car unless he has time
to get back on the right side Of the
road before meeting a car coming
from the opposite direction In the
latter case the speed of the car on his
right, which he is passing, should be
taken into consideration
The clear course ahead depends
upon road and traffic conditions. some
OF which are continually changing, and
the driver is responsible for being
able invariably TO stop within the clear
course ahead" said DIR. Dickinson.
Stopping distance with relation 10
the clear course ahead is the most i'm.
portant factor of safety. It must be
assumed that vehicle or person may
emerge al any instant from behind n
obstruction to the vision or that an
obstacle may lie just around bend.
Many of the present regulations
are based unconsciously on the pro-
posed new rule, which, if strictly en-
forced, would take the place of nearly
all of them. This rule, if Incorporated
in an ordinance, would focus attention
of all drivers on the most important

Better Let It Drain.

Just as in the case of the cluth that

II is best to take the plug out and

vided In this type of clutch to provide
for washing out the clutch now and
