Read, of the NC-4, the first airplane to cross the Atlantic, learned to drive a power propelled vohicle. This old Cadillas is still owned by F. II. Livenuore, of South Hanson, Mass., who Is very proud of his won derful . car, and of the boy, now grown famous, who used to drive it. Years ago, before going to Anuap olis, Commander Read lived in South Hanson. He used to drive around I if Mr. Liveriuore's Cadillac then, and if. he should return to South Hanson today, he could enjoy the same pi-lvl lege. The veteran car is still in per feet running order, and as full ot pep as ever. Tho car has ong since been di vested of its original appearance. If equipment is, perhaps, more prac tical than beautiful, but its conditio is still first class. "Tho old car always goos," said Mr. Livenuore to a caller. "The ex cellence of the various parts after years of use Is wonderful. I use the car to drive around In all summer and in the winter time I make nij living with It sawing wood." Mr. Llvormore is a Heaven born median is. His wood sawing outfit, thanks to his reliable Cadillac, Is one hundred per cent efficient, and yet In no was interferes with the car's usefulnesf in "touring." Mr. Llvormore does not know the exact number of mll?s this veteran of 1905 ha3 covered, but from thn best information available It has traveled at .ler.st 150,000 thousand miles. i HAMILTON MOTOR CO.

Fifty head are to be exhibited at Portland and before the Novembei event Mr. Chandler and Mr. Johnson will select, from the sixty-five, fifty of the best. Those fifty hogs will be mighty flue and the exhbiior who tr.kos the grand champion prize away from them will be compelled to show hogs that ore perfect, plus. Everyone Is bound to respcit a hog when he sells for twon'y cent a pound but that respect will be in tensified If anyone will drive out to the Cavlness ranch, now owned by Shroedei, and see the Poland China hogs which Tom Johnsou and War ren Chandler are putting In shape to show nt- the Pacific Internallnoal Live Stock Exposition iu l'ortlund next November. These hogs look like thoy belong to the same family and there are sixty-five of them. They are tho smoothest, best proportioned bunch of ho'is that one will seo in many days of travel. In fact each individ ual looks as though ho had been cur ried and brushed every morning be fore breakfast. When asked why the excellent ap pearance, Tom Johnson, who knows something about hogs himself, re marked: "Its the way. .they are fed and cared for," and then the veteran stockman explained the conditions. First of all, the Shroeder ranch was selected for Its specially fitted arrangements for feeding. Tho hog lot is sloping and a slough rum through it furnlshl",; lots of watei for tho hog,. Across tho slough is a field of rye and a field of alfalfa. To reach theso fields the hogs are compelled to swim which is good for them In many wnysi In tho center of the lot is. on "oiler" where tho hogs scratch and get oil on ihomsolvej, thus preventing Insects of any kind from bothering them. The feeding shed Is ideal. It is constructed with low troughs for the feeding and the mill feed, or cracked wheat is placed Inside so Unit it feeds automatical!) Into the troughs. The feed Is watched closely every Al TO TOP HOSPOTAl, STARTED. P. A. Jut-gel-, F.ipert 111 Work, Wll Operate in 1j Urttndo.
