A big; touring car driven by Frank

riding- beside him. when an east-bound
motorcycle driven by H. D. Hamilton.
of 142 East Thirty-ninth street-North,
hove into view at the intersection of
Jefferson street.
Petrino says the motorcycle cot in
his way. Hamilton says that he did
not, and that Petrino simply became
confused. At any rate, Petrino's auto
swerved sharply to the right, jumped
10-incli curb as if it were a mere
bump in the road, narrowly missed a
telephone pole on the corner, and
crashed into the store, which was open,
striking the far wall with such force
that the Jolt stopped the clock hang
ing on the' wall -above the point of
impact.
The auto was as completely housed
in the store as though this were a
fc-arage. The store was wrecked. Three
large show cases were smashed, the
counter was reduced to kindling, and
cigars, cigarettes, pipes and miscel-
aneous tobacco were strewn about.
Vacina, who had been riding beside
the driver, was catapulted over the
counter, and found himself seated in
a corner " between .the front wheels
of the auto, with the store's cash reg
ister riding upon his shoulders.
No one was injured to the extent
of even a scratch from the flying
glass. The only occupants of the store
prior to the entry of the automobile
were the proprietor, Ben Woldt, and
Tom Maynard, a bridge carpenter for
the Southern Pacific Company, who
was buying a smoke. The auto went
between these two men, missing each
of them by inches.
Mr. Woldt estimated the damage
done at ?3o0. Petrino, the motorist,
and Hamilton, of the motorcycle, both
reported the accident at police head
quarters. Neither was detained.

(Continued.)
IT is best in handling soils of a heav
ier nature such as those containing
a predominance of clay and silt and
not much sand or organic matter to al
low the soil to lie a few days after
plowing before It I worked down with
the disk and th harrow. The under
surface of the soli which is plowed up
Is considerably more mnist than the top
surface and It Is usually too moist to
be worked down immediately after
plowing. Soil that are composed
largely of sand or sandy loam are work
able almo.it as soon aa the plowing has
bern done.
There is a tendency among those who
are doing th plowing to want to finish
the job and work the soil right down.
However, it is not possible with the
soils of which I am speaking to finish
the work and have the soil in a fine,
free condition If disked immediately.
There may be some exceptions to this
fact, possibly where the soil hss been
left until it Is in a drier condition than
mo-t soils In the spring.
There Is a dvclded need of good or
Sanizalion In the obtaining of plow
men to prepare lots or home gardens so
that the cost ol the work ne reduced to
the minimum amount. I understand that
such district organization la being for
warded in Portland and It should he
made general wherever there are per
sons living in certain districts who will
be growing vegetables. We want to
guard against the condition of which
instance was - given me yesterday
when 1 was told of a certain piece of
ground which was plowed in "0 to 40
minutes and the cost was i. This was
he only job of plowing the teamster
knew about In the neighborhood and he
was compelled to charge for time spent
coming and going. A day or so after
wards a neighbor, mentioned the fact
hat he had some plowing and would
have had the plowman come over if he
had known that he would be in that
neighborhood. It Is probable that the
cos of plowing the first mentioned plot
would have been $1 instead of $. if
here had been proper organization ef
fected. Labor conditions such as are
xistlng this year make it Imperative I
hat there be as much effective work
done aa possible so that soils be plowed
at the right time and everyone be able
to plant as soon as conditions permit.
