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.
Your OlfUield dealer has these
facts talk to him.

What is probably the host display
of vegetable ami truck crops ever
grown on, a single ranch In the
Snake River Valley is to bo seon at
the O. 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. It the people In the towns
were taxed In proportion as tho
neoplo In tho country aro, they
would not vote so readily for all the
Improvements wo have boon getting
of late," he continued.

PARIS ETCHER FOUND ARTIST
Marketed Prints Which Brought Pam
to Soldier of the American Ex-
pedltlonary Force.
Alonzo U. 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.
