IIundndH of ttioufiamls of dollars have heen collectid thro ugh such methods from those who Lad no intention of violating the law. The outcome of such a tftw is that the. automobile owner who is unfortunate enough to be caiiKhi and fined not only in justifiably provokf-d, tint that his and others' attitude results in considerable loss of legitimate business revenue to the ad.kicent inuuk-ipalilicH from the. touring public. .

It should be done not only in isolated instances but iilonjc every main highway. In other words, signs should be creeled wherever the speed limit changes.

E FINISH IS DEVELOPED The most myterlous and least iindcratooil tilings often ore the most commonplace. For inshineo. who knows whence comes varnish, of what it is made, or the romance of this, oldest of finishing process es, now- almost extinguished by modern science? MUc the Amciienn bison, or buf falo, real varnish has almost dis appeared. . ' The dripping (ears of a. thousand trees gave the beautiful and endur ing varnish and lacquer of the ancient Hindu and. the moro an cient f'hlnese. Hut modern sci ence lias almost dried the tenrs of the llurmese theetsce nnd the Indian - marking nut tree, which once supplied the world. 4 So this is the story of varnlshlnff varnish. originally tho gums exuded, like tears from a dozen varieties of tropical trees. In Hurinn. India, Japan, in the Andes and Peru and tho Kast Indies were the sole sources of varnish, together with p:i rings from amber which ufter. all, is only ihe. petrified gnm or trees of im earlier era. The words used to describe the gums - have almost dhmnptured from common usage amine, eo itil. mastic, garboge, tumeric and Ihe demand for finely finished sur faces lent: since exceeded the de- (mand for these purest substances I which made the ever-enduring, stony-hard lacquer and virnlsh surfaces which grace ancient oii i ental treasures. ' Soon other resins began coming form the' motorist that he shuuld hltn the market "ersatz." us th "Begin 1,1 Mile Limit' or "Ilegin c ifrniitus called them substitutes. -' Mil.'

Signs such as these give the aut omobile, owner who desires to obey the law the necessary information at a glance. They convey 11 in a spirit of friendliness that cannot help hut add lo the revenue- tli.'it chemical formation enme to sup plant the naturally small supply of Utile beads of gum exuded by the ancient trees.

Aa far as one can judge from cerdlt conditions and market reports, the farmer Is in a good economic po sition und will be actively in the market for automobiles.
