IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII uMaking 20 Yearn ofRocimjh Serve Car Owners Ooday i IN the early days of automobile contests, Barney Oldfield out to win every race studied tires. His consistent success led other drivers to ask for tires constructed to his specifications. Twenty years of road and track victories with a steady and increas ing demand for tires as he built them convinced Barney Oldfield that these speed tests pointed the way to a better tire for everyday use. The enthusiastic reception of Old field Cords by the public proved he was right. Scores of the most prominent dealers in the country and many thousands of car owners, experienced in the use of tires bear witness by their decided preference that Oldfield is doing a bigger and better job of tire making. This Volume, handled in an effec tive way in every phase of manufac ture and distribution, has resulted in price quotations far below what you'd expect on tires known to be better built and more enduring. Practically every important race event for three years has been won on Oldfields. The Wichita Test Run in which an entire set of Oldfield Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough roads proves the mettle of the Most Trustworthy Tires Built in every day driving. The Master Driver and Tire Builder has given the public a new standard of tire wear and tire cost a true economy that every car owner should know about.

W. Lattig farm on Oregon Slope eight miles North of Ontario In Malheur county. Mr. Lattig was appointed Director on Vegetable Crops for the county farm bureau by the executive committeo of that or ganization last January and he has proceeed to carry out his task in no uncertain manner as anyone will bear witness who has visited his farm since his "fifty soven" varieties of vegetables have grown up. The first thing Mr. Lattig did was to partition off two small farms from his ICO aero high class irrigated ranch, clioslng tho best land ho had for tho vegetables. To do this ho H had to build an additional houso. -no men iook two or tno best, ex- j perienced whlto vegetable growers j ho could find Into partnership, agree ing with them as to the crops that wore to bo grown, thus making up tho firms of Lattig and Johnston and Lattig and McQordon. In these stops also he made no mistake as tho re sults testify, there being 11 acres of as good head lettuce as can bo found anywhere, 2 acres of Danish Ball head cabbago that is coming fight along, 2 acres of cauliflour some of which is so tall and thick that It practically hides tho ground, besides 5 varieties of onions, a half acre or so of tomatoes, several kinds of melons and squash menagele, table beets, carrots, sweet corn and sweet potatoes. Also potatoes of Irish variety, two acres of which are being grown for next year's seed and have already passed the two field inspec tions for certification and promise to boat all comers for yield. Besides having a great collection of different kinds of vegetables, the partners have some Interesting ex periments In process, such for in stance as the comparative results from seeding cauliflower In rows where it is to be grown and thinning It tho requled distance between the plants, or following the customary transplanting process. In view of the possible importance of fall caul iflower as a vegotablo which may be grown on an extensive scalo for shipment fsom this section aro long, those results are worth observing by vegetable growers and prospective vegetable growers. In order to givo every person in terested in this lino of farming an opportunity to examine these veget able demonstrations, County Agent L. R. Briethaupt has arranged for a Vegetable Orowors Field Day for Monday afternoon, September 25th at tho hour of 2:30 p. m. Asldo from examining tho growing crops, which will bo tho main part of the program, It is planned to have ono or two short talks on vegetable growing to answer any questions which may come up about produc tion methods and particularly as to the marketability of tho different sorts and prospective profits to bo derlvod from growing tho same. PETITIONS OUT ASKING FOR REDUCTION IN LAND VALUES W. L. Gibson and Others in Ny.sfia Section Seeking Ixnver Assess ment Value for Taxation Purposes "W. L. Gibson and others who were in Ontario Wednesday to attend tho filing of claims for water of tho Owyhee river, brought word of the movement that has started in their vicinity to request a marked reduc tion in tho assessments placed on farm lands for taxation purposes. "Wo havo a petition started and everyone is signing," says Mr. Gib son, "and wo are going to see to it that tho burden of taxation is shift ed. The farmers can't stand It. They aro getting more than their share.

Webb, the Aiueilcan sol dier who has uou sudden fame In Paris ait circles by his distinctive etchings, was content to pass bis prints out among his friends. One day, how ever, while he was having his etchings printed by the old-fashioned process culled "tallle douce," the printer said: "Why don't you sell these etchings?" "They're not good enough," replied Webb. "ITou'ro crazy," suld the printer; "you wouldn't mind selling them would you? Don't you need the "TuoueyJ" "l'es, Cod knows I need It, but 1 never thought of belling these things," lejulned Webb. The old man gnvo Webb it noto tc u dealer in the Hue de Ulvoli who took "on depot" one each of five prints The very next day Webb received a letter nt his home nt Bellevue, uslc lng for three more to replace those the denier had sold tho lirst day. "That must have been u happy morn lng nt Hellevue," I remarked, some what stirred at this turning point In tho life story. "Not especially," Webb replied. "I'm partly Scotch nnd don't often get ex cited. I take good luck Just us I take bad. I rarely even tell about good luck." "But don't you deprive yourself ol a delightful thrill?" "The pleasure Is no less In the ag gregate. ,1 tnke It In a quieter form; It lasts longer and there Is no re action." Charles II. Crusty in the New York Times. LOCAL PERSONALS HAVE NO WORRY ABOUT DATES In Fortunate Albania They Knew Noth ing of 8uch Things as Calen dars or Clocks. Calendars mid clocks are luxuries In Albania. The untutored peasantry know only three periods of time morning, noon nnd night, and two sea sons of the year, winter and summer. Days and dates arc Sanskrit to them. Nor huvo they any couceptlou of dis tances. When a traveler usks an Al banian the distance of ono point from another, he never uuswers in miles or kilometers, but "it is hnlf a day, It Is two days, It Is a week." When an Al banian makes an appointment, he Is considered to have kept It If he comes within two or three hours of the time set. With the absence of calendars, the people naturally do not know their correct nges, especially those In the country districts. In tlds respect the women of Albania enjoy an ndvnutnge over their sisters In foreign countries who gunrd so Jealously tho seciet of their jenrs. Often the age pf an Al banian woman Is unknown even to herself. Revised Ages of Man. At Five Nobody loves me, I'm go ing out In the garden and eat worms. At Fifteen She dues not love me.
