Think­ ing the bad roads this spring would cause a change of sentiment, it was tried again, but was defeated by 1,000 votes. Perhaps selfish in­ terests had something to do with it, as they have been reaping a harvest in pulling out stalled cars. At one bad place a farmer near by placed a. truck service. Ifis profits were so large that a neigh­ bor entered into competition with a tractor. This enraged the truck owner so much that he made a complaint to the local authorities that the tractor was unlawfully working on the road without a license. The judge decided, how­ ever, that tractors required no lic­ ense, and dismissed the case. So long as counties control the highways, as is the case in nearly all the states in this locality, it will be many years before complete concrete highways connect the prin­ cipal cities between states or even between large cities in one state. Road bonds are voted by counties, the state paying half the cost on designated state highways. Until the counties agree to pay their half of road construction, there must remain a break in the trunk line, and in bad weather local traf­ fic is held up, with through traf­ fic entirely blocked. Wisconsin and Minnesota have fine, fair weather roads all over the state, and have enough concrete roads paraleling each other around Milwaukee to build complete highways connecting all the principal cities in the state. Gasoline and automobile taxes are used in building the roads, and paying for the bonds, yet the rural counties blocking the work do not realize that their own gas and auto taxes are building roads in other parts of the state. Iowa has few paved roads, and I Omaha is still isolated from the north, east and south. Until the roads dry up we will improve the time with visits to old friends and neighbors around the Twin Cities. We are now the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Newman. Easter day and Monday were warm as sum­ mer, temperature reaching 78 Mon­ day, but a warm rain is falling to­ day. This will not help the gumbo roads in Iowa, or the swampy and clay roads from Neillsville to Iowa, through which we will have to pass before reaching the Lincoln high­ way at Omaha. in warm districts had gone by they like arsenate apple sauce even May 5 into the pupa stage from better than strawberry leaves. which adults are expected to em­ A well-balanced growing ration erge in about two weeks, accord-1 ing to experiment station reports. and clean soil are two fundamentals Emergence will be later in higher for raising pullets.

The bait found in experiment station tests to be most satisfac­ tory is made of 1 pound of cal­ cium arsenate to 19 pounds of ground dried apples. A teaspoonful or two is applied to the crown of every hill, abou^ 50 to 70 pounds per acre under average Oregon conditions. Growers may purchase it ready to use under the trade name of “Go-West.” Application is often made by means of a down-spout tube or other light tube, finished off with a funnel at the top. The small end of the tube is put into the center of the hill and the bait then dropped through the funnel. This saves time and much back­ breaking labor, insures proper plac­ ing of the poison, and protects the berries from drifting bits of poison. The larva, pupae and adults of the weevil are all naturally placed to do the most possible mischief, explained Don G. Moto, station entomologist. The larva more quiet feeding on the roots right under the vines, an ideal place from their point of view for going into the helpless pupae stage. Thus when the adults emerge all they have to do is climb up to daylight, and there they are, ready to eat straw­ berry leaf. Unfortunately for them, Notice. Notice is hereby given that Chas. A.

Why GUM-DIPPE 1 1RES The Majestic Jack Conway, director of “The Understanding Heart,” the Cosmo- politian production coming to the Majestic theatre on Saturday be­ lieves that huge “close-up” will be a thing of the past in motion pictures. “Close-ups” of players inserted where a medium shot would get over the same af­ fect, detract from the actual tell­ ing and are prone to remind the audience of the camera, a thing that should be avoided as much as possible, says Conway. In "Hold That Lion,” at the Majestic Sunday, Lean breaks all the rules of a big game hunting, and in doing so, furnishes sixty minutes of hilarious action and hair-raising thrills. One of the largest crowds ever assembled to witness a baseball game on a sand-lot, recently gather­ ed at Sunland, California, when almost five thousand persona turned out to watch Wallace Beery knock a home run in his new Paramount comedy, “ Casey at the Bat,” which arrives at the Majestic theatre Tuesday and Wednesday. Both the narrow-minded Puritan­ ical members of the older genera­ tion and the cigarette-smoking, gin­ drinking members of the younger generation come in for a sound spanking in Allen Dwan’s produc­ tion of "Padlocked,” based on the absorbing story by Rex Beach, at the Majestic theatre Thursday and Friday. STRAWBERRY ROOT WEEVIL NEARING BREEDING STAGE Some 60 per cent of the straw­ berry root weevil that has been fat­ tening on Oregon strawberry roots E recently were given the tremendous advantage of having the mammoth Firestone factories brought to us. In Tire Educational Meeting* we were shown, by means of motion pictures, charts, tire samples and complete engineer­ ing data, the details of Firestone tire design and construction - and how Fire­ stone and Oldfield tires and tubes are made in the world’s most efficient and economical rubber factories. W Firestone pioneered the original low-pressure tire and made it practical by Gum-Dipping. The motion pictures showed us how the cords of the carcass are dipped in a rubber solution, thoroughly saturating and insulating every fiber of every cord with rubber. Simple demonstrations and tests illustrated the great advantage of this process, which supplies the extra strength to withstand the extra flexing strains of low-pressure construction—one of the reasons why Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires are establishing such unheard-of mileage records. Lew Cash Prices We learned why the Firestone Balloon Tread gives extra safety, comfort and long wear. We were shown why Firestone, from the very begin­ ning, designed and continue to use the round Balloon Tread, minimizing “shoulder breaks”, so destructive to tires. Excess rubber at the edges of a Balloon Tread is wasted—actually detrimental to tire mileage. In the Firestone Tread the small units and sharp projections are scientifically placed to permit easy flexing, resulting in extraordinary riding comfort. Come in and let us put a set of these Gum-Dipped Tires on your car you can forget about tire trouble. Quality is higher than ever before — prices are lowest in history. Buy now!
