"The ran was made-with the In tention of breaking the only known authentic -r speed record ever made by stocksedan listing under 11000 - or-" a': 100 mile course," says PaoV J.'Feely, who conducted tlMfiu'The Essex, Veedol lubricated, ' aaie through with mileage and4 ipeed records which surpassed the. old records of CO miles per hour for exactly 1009 miles by a margin that has set motordom agog. "No car in the same price class, as Essex, as far as It known, has ever been able to maintain any where near the speed of CS.Sf miles per hour,?'-continued eely.

Just 362 pupils were enrolled, of whom 132 were new and 66 dropped. - : Twenty children made perfect attendance records and but five failed to pass the posture tests, with 101 on the honor roll, the year's review shows. ' Students purchased with paper drive funds a projectascope; they also donated $20 to the commun ity park for swings. Six "weeks" were observed by the pupils; and several projects, included a ma jor one in forestry, were carried to successful conclusions. Miss Madaline Heckman and the third grade pupils sponsored and pre sented a play, proceeds from which were used for the park wings and equipment. When B.

Dyer, of the office of Hawkins and Roberts, was the eighth best seller in a field of 1500 insurance writers for the month of April, according to re port Just received from the home office of the Missouri State In surance company which he rep resents. In other words. Dyer placed eighth in the list of indi vidual sales for the entire country. He has been in the business for 18 years. He will leave here June 14 for St. Louis, home office of the company, to attend a national meeting as a guest of the com pany tor his salesmanship record.

YOU BET! . Dealer Supplies Young Engineer's Needs $677 PUT ON ONE CAR Automobile owners, who believe that new cars axe coming through so completely equipped that there"! is nothing left in the way of ac cessories to buy for them, would have been surprised had they seen a new model car in the popular price class which was recently equipped with accessories by the Western Auto Supply company. "A young mining engineer from South America came Into one of our stores recently and asked a salesman to help him select equip ment for his car that would add to his safety and comfort on a cross country trip," says Mr. Clarke, local Western Auto man ager. "Ite matter item was se lected for the new car and before the sale was completed a total of $577.00 worth of accessories were installed on the car."

Wells- worth goggles, 2 step plates. (Continued from Page 15.) thoroughly perforated before driving and the lower end should be plugged with a short piece of perforated casing dropped to the bottom of the well after hammer ing the piece together to form a point at the lower end. Such wells can usually be drilled by al ternately using a churn drill and sand bucket. Where only a fair yield is obtained, two such wells in different corners of the pit may be installed and connected to the pump by means of a double suc tion pipe. This should lessen the amount of draw-down or lowering of the water plane when pumping. The suction lift with centrifugal pumps should be as small as pos sible and should not exceed 10 or 12 feet at the most. The pump; will therefore need to be placed close to the water table. The Stove Pipe Type Where there is considerable fluctuation in the water table, it would seem desirable to install a stove pipe tTPe of well. Such wells are ordinarily made 12 to 24 in ches in diameter and lined with 10 to X gage casing which Is in serted in small lengths and rivet ed together at the joints as the digging proceeds. Hollow tools are used in digging such wells. Sometimes lighter gage casing is employed and put in so as to break Joints and provide two thicknesses of the material. This type of well requires a deep well turbine pump and can b e used where there is considerable fluc tuation in the height of the wat er table. A careful log of the strata en countered in digging the well should be kept and the store pipe casing can then be slitted, so as to thoroughly perforate it through out any water bearing strata. Where a water bearing stratum strainer may be required of sufH dent area- to admit the water without excessive Telocity. Patent strainers are of amalgnm or com position metal Chat will not cor rode, and,- the openings are mads in a metal screen game or slit ted screen cut from the inside so that sand grains starting through j will not lodge in the openings in the screen. The area of strainer openings should be at least 12 times the area of the diameter of the suction pipe, and twice this ratio would be desirable either with the strainer or perforated well casing. A strainer or perfor ated casing may be placed in the center of a large well in sand, and the surrounding it lined with gra vel. The Beet Pump The horizontal centrifugal pump is most suitable for handling large quantities of water at moderate lifts where there is. but little fluctuation In the water table. The centrifugal pump with a horizon tal shaft can be mounted or sup ported better than the vertical shaft type. High grade centrifu gal pomps are constructed with split casings to facilitate clean ing and with double suction to reduce friction and to balance the force of the water. Bearings are largely water cooled. Suction and discharge pipes must be air tight, and to reduce frictJon would be 35 to 50 per cent greater In diameter than the pump. Few turns should be used, and those necessary should be of large radius. Pipes should be mounted to avoid undue strain on the pump. A check valve should be placed above the pump In the discharge pipe to close the discharge pipe for producing a vacuum for priming. A globe valve plaeed between the pitcher pump and the pump casing will be used to close this priming line air tight when the pump is in op eration. The pump should be set on foundation sufficiently heavy to hold it against belt strain, weight of pipes, and vibration. Threaded anchor bolts should be set in the concrete foundation and held in place with a wooden template at carries considerable quick-sand or other fine material, a patent well the proper location to receive the pmiaaC Nuts are run down on these holts to a level plane as de termined with a carpenter's level, alter the concrete of the founda tion has set. Rich cement IS then poured around these nuts to hold them on a level plane, on which the pump is bolted down. The Best Power Electrie power is most satisfac tory where it can be obtained, al though a Diesel engine oilers a fairly economical source of power for those not situated near power lines. In calculating the power re auired. a horse power will lift a cubic foot of water eight and a third feet per second and is call ed a water horse power. If the lift, including friction head, were 25 feet, three theoretical horse power would be required to deliv er a cubic foot per second. Since pumping plant efficiency may not be more than 50 per cent, twice the actual power required to per form the work should be provided. Moreover, it is desirable to have a little extra power, since the draw down in the dry season may become greater in certain years or with general pumping in the neighborhood. Efficient Design Needed , Few small pumping plants in the valley have been Installed so as to give the highest possible ef ficiency. Piping should be arran ged to reduce friction to a mini mum and to discharge the water at the lowest practicable eleva tion. It Is poor economy to have a plant so small that the irrigating stream will not cover the land to be watered in a reasonable time. Where cheap storage can be pro vided and the water reservoired at night, a lower first cost per acre can be realised. Shelter and good care of pumping machinery is nec- esary to maintain its efficiency. Careful use of pumped water is necessary if the greatest profHs are to be realised. Excessive use of water may injure the quality of soil and result in failure even in arid ciimates. Water should be carefully measured and skilfully annlied to land that has been lev elled to a uniform slope and with laterals as nearly water tight as practicable. Frequently it will be desirable to use under ground eon- erere, wood, or metal pipes for laU ersls tor the distribution of pump- ed water. To distribute water from i hydrant along the pipe line, port-' able canvass hose or light slip! joint metal pipe may be used. Ths latter is preferable. Small fur-! rows or corrugations for distrib uting water on a field may be nec essary where the stream used 1 small. Furrows may be threeto four feet apart and 220 to 440 , feet long, being shorter on sandy soils. Cultivation should be given as soon after irrigation as the soil is dry enough to crumble to form a mulch; to prevent baking and to kill weed seedlings that may be started by the irrigation.
