Take Seven Firsts in
Kansas; -win Here
MT. ANGEL, Oct, 2. -The Mt,
Angel college stock. farm Holstein
herd was the high winner for Ore
gon in the Holstein division at the
Oregon state fair. 4 Two out-of-state
herds were higher winners
than the local herd, they being
Hayes & Co., Calgary. Canada, and
William Bishop of j Chimiceaum.
Wash., taking first; and second
places respectively, i
Mt. Angel won j. three first
prizes and several : seconds and
thirds.-Considering the fact that
their best show herd is still in the
eastern show circuit, Lawrence
Thomas, herdsman for the college,,
is well pleased with the Oregon
fair results. -i-
Showing against i the : leading
Holstein herds of the country, the
Mt, Angel college herd on the
eastern tour was the largest win
ner of first places and premium
money at the Kansas free fair at
Topeka, Kan., last. week. The herd
won seven blues and six second
place ribbons. I "
This.herd, shipped from Mt An
gel early In July, has been on the
fair circuit almost three months
and has been a leading winner
at fairs throughout the Canadian
provinces, Montana, South Dakota
and Kansas. It is showing this
week at the Oklahoma state fair
at Oklahoma City. 1 The herd will
go from there to the National
dairy show at St. Louis and later
come directly to the Pacific In
ternational at Portland on the
Northern Pacific purebred stock
train which brings the. champion
how strings from the big eastern
fairs.: to the' final big show of
the season at Portland.

SAYS LOCAL DEALER
'Know your tiree.T Is a warn
ing Klven to Salem motorists by
Walter Zosel, Goodrich tire deal
er. !- - : r'. . ' 'i
"That Is one of the nine points
to which members of the Silver
town Safety League agree in an
effort to promote siter driving.
Tires are vulnerable points or ev
err automobile as they provide
the only contact between the ve
hicle and the highway, unless
this foundation is flawless there
U chance of accident."
Many tourists are ready to be
ieve that their tires! are safe as
long as they hold air, Mr. Zosel
says. He points out that the ay
erage driver; is not familiar
en cm eh with his tires to know the
top speed he can travel in abso
lute safety, j , i
' "Many tire faults are not vis
lble at a casual glance," he de
clares. "A tack cannot be seen un
less It happens to ee-wner it
catches the eye. Bruises are not
Perceptible without more than
a passing glance. In , many cases
a cut or other break j cannot be
seen without removing the tire
from the rim. A tire service man
has the tools necessary for a
quick, accurate Inspection.
Inner tubes appear, to be all
Tight as long as the tire holds up.
Improper Inflation. I a pinched
- tube, a leaking -valve or other
apparently minor or unseen
faults contribute heavily to tire
failure, and should be given high
regard In the Interest of more
and safer tire mileage."
The Sllvertown Safety League
is a nation-wide safety movement
sponsored by the B. F. Goodrich
Rnbber company through Its
dealers. The movement is ap
plauded by foremost figures in
American public, industrial and
civic life as a certain step to
ward the reduction of fatalities
resulting from automobile opera
tion. "The Safety League believes in
compliance with traffic regula
" tioos, ordinary courtesies of the
road and proper maintenance of
automobiles," j Mr. Zosel explained.

With Drains
LAKE Labish, Oct; 3 Four
new drain ditches are nearing
completion ion the Ed Weinman
farm. Mr. Weinman's crop sut-'
f ered from the depredations of
the onion fly this summer, and
most of thej loss Is directly trace- J
aDie to tne neavny soasea heaver-
dam wnerein tne nies eaten tneir
young.
The high! water of last spring,
which stood seven, to ten feet
deep en the valuable land, cans-
ert the land farthest 'from the
main community drain ditch to
sink and thereby restrain the ac-
cumulated underground water.
The new drain ditches,, dug ap
proxicately two and one-half feet
deep, will overcome this difficul
ty,
Ditching a piece of beaverdam
land is a scientific piece of busi
ness, requiring considerable ex
perlence. There are two types oi
underground channeling: the tile,
and the wooden box, 10 to 14
feet long. The tiles o boxes are
laid in the trenches which are
irradid to allow the brooer How
and are then covered over with
the dirt from the trenches.
Proper drainage Is the highest
essential for this type of land, and
other local onion men are contem-
