Out in Idaho, in the country Ut
described s "wild and wooly. lives a
runciiman with a peculiar hobby. His
name is B. R. Pearson, but that is al
most immaterial, as everybody calis
him soniKhing else "Idaho - Bill.-
Some men enjoy gathering collections
of Jewels or rare paintings, but Idaho
Bill's collecting mania runs in a dif
ferent line he makes it his pride, toi
own the meanest untamed horses ia
captivity.
Whenever Idaho Bill hears of an
equine critter that the boys employ!
on a neighboring ranch cannot break.
I he goes over and buys the animal. If
,'e learns of a Dag that has unseatoa
every man who has attempted to rH?
him. there is the horse Idaho Bill
must have, if he has to travel m:iny
miles to get him. It the horse is five
or six years oid and still untamed, the
ranchman prizes him highly, lor at.
that age the chances are he never will
be subjugated. Wyoming. Vtah, Ne-
vada and Idaho contain a lot of ranch?!
and each contributes a few outlaws. .-so
that Idaho Rill's herd is large aiif
takes the prize for orneriness. 1-ijisv
year the old ranchman bought horics
for the government, and every animal
that' the cavalrymen could not rkle
went into his own private herd. t
whatever price the government saw fit
to asK. laano tsiu picKea up a uuncn
of mean buckers in that way.
Thirty horses, handpicked for thrir
evil dispositions and more evil reputa
tions, have been cut out from Idaho
Bill's herd and will be used in the
bronc riding contesis t the fifth an
nual cowboy's reunion, to be held here
July 2, 3 and 4. The men who riOe
these brutes will be entitled to all thnt
they can win of the $3,000 prize money.
The story of the automobile now
a part of the daily life of millions of
people all over the world, furnished
one of the greatest of all industrial
romances.
Although originally invented by an
Knglisliman, the modern tire is truly
mid typically American jn its develop
ment and chief features,
Its rarely paralleled expansion is
truly spectacular. From less than 38.
000 square feet of floor space to its
.present area of 95 acres exclusive of
its branches, from 100 employes to ap
proximately 30,000.
The mammoth plant which bears the
inventor's name,' although he had no
part in its inauguration, was estab
lished in 1S9S during the period that
bicycle tires and carriage tires were
the most prominent rubber product.
The growth of the company has been
of a sturdy and enduring kind. Start
ing with an initial investment of only
Sli.500, of which only $3,500 was in
cash and that borrowed, the plant is
now valued at nearly $30,000,000 with
an output in 1918 of $131,000,000.
In 1908 the output of the Goodyear
company in value had increased to $2,
000,000 from a humble trttirt of less
than half a million during its first
year. The Goodyear company was the
pioneer in the development of many of
the types of tires that are now serving
to make automotive transportation a
success. Among these, the most con
spicuous are the straight-side automo
bile tire, and the pneumatic "Cord"
tire, both of which, were brought out
in 1904. Goodyear pneumatic cord tires
for motor trucks have taken motor
trucks out of the slow-speed, heavy
duty class and transferred them into
thp class of high-speed transportation
agents.
Oftentimes, they were unable to buy-
on the open market the kind of fabric
trial had the tensile strength consistent
with the Goodyear ideals of manufac
ture. So a few years ago they secured
their own cotton mills in Goodyear,
Connecticut, and by developing their
own processes of tire duck manufac
ture, they were able to construct a
fabric or canvas that was stronger
thrtn anV other tire fabric nn th mar
ket, t
To carry out the idea of perfecting
to the greatest possible extent the raw
materials that go into their tires, Good
year later opened up an immense cot
ton planation in Arizona, developing
a 20,000-acre project in the Salt River
valley, on which a long staple cotton
has been produced that is better than
the long staple cotton of any part of
the world.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber com
pany is one o the largest users of
crude rubber in the world. Its last
year's operations alone required 26.000
tons of rubber, valued at over $40,000,
000. Part of this rubber was grown
on Goodyear's own rubber plantation
in Sumatra, where thousands of acres
have been planted to the Hevia Bra
ziliensis rubber tree the tree that pro
duces the finest grade of rubber.
The output of the Goodyear factories
is now 25,000 tires a day and it will
be 30,000 tires a day before July 1. The
company recently developed and an
nounced a new plan of factory man
agement which involves a broad and
comprehensive principle of an em
ployes' council of industrial relations
in keeping with the modern trend of
the times. During the present year
the company is looking forward to a
business of approximately $175,000,000
gross, with reasonable assurance that
this will be accomplished.

ARMY MAY SELL SURPLUS YARN
(From the Boston Transcript)
Washington reports to the wool trade
state that a plan is now being worked
out by the officials of the surplus prop
erty division, war department, whereby
it will be possible for the wool, tops
and yarn branch of the quartermaster
corps to take complete charge of the
sale of surplus yarn. . Under the pro
posed plan the yarn will be sold by
auction in the same manner that gov
ernment owned wool is being sold. An
official . statement regarding when
these sales are to commence is ex
pected soon. Probably both wool and
cotton yarns will be included. Some
of both have been declared surplus,
and buyers are interested to know
when they ate to be offered and what
methods are to, be followed in their
disposal.

gratulating themselves that it wasn't

"Because of the-'great. amount nv
j good roads propaganda, many people i
I are apt to be deceived as to what has
j already been accomplished and what
i remains to be done,", says B. H.

pany, 247 North First street. "This J
not to disparage the excellent work
which has already been done and ia
now being done but to point out that
we have just scratched the surface of
good roads' publicity and to encour
age those back of good roa'ds move
ments to even greater efforts.
"There is every argument of course,
for good roads and none against them.
Experience has shown that,good roads
increase farm profits by lowering
costs.
"Living conditions are always im
proved where good roads are the rule.
Attendance of children at school the
-ery foundation" of which national wel
fare must be built is increased anu
the schools themselves improved where
good roads exist. Libraries are made
accessible. .
"Community gatherings Which mean
so much in the life of our rural popu
lation are fostered by good roads. The
city markets on which the farmer
must depend for many of his purchases
are made more readily available.
"Interurban motor express routes
lower the cost of living in cities while
increasing farmer's profits. Much
good work is being done in the promo
tion of such routes and through them
in the development of the good roads
on which they must operate.
"Some carping critics balk at good
roads because they claim they are be
ing promoted by the automobile indus
try to further its own ends. It is true
that the good roads movement received
its greatest impetus coincidental
with the development of the automo
bile. "But this is not surprising. The
railroad would never have been possi
ble had it not been for the development
of road bed construction. Powerful
locomotives and fine trains would have
been of no service without well laid
rails on which to run them. And no
one can claim that the development wt
' the railroads has not been of greater
