Kahlert, 8-6, 6-3; Wernlie and Martin, 6-2, 6-4; Linden and Eastman, 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. Both Sprecher and Heinz played stellar tennis, their service be- ing especially troublesome to the Ha- zenites, and they scored many aces. J. J. Heinz won in the finals of the singles event from Wernlie in straight sets. In the semi-finals Sprecher and Wernlie battled to a score of 3-6. 6-2, 5-7 and 6-3, when Sprecher. who had already played some ocer 100 games, being too exhausted to continue the play, defaulted to Wernlie. Heinz then put Wernlie out by a score of 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, the old champion never once being able to take a set. Warn- lie has ‘been state champion several times, and has always been a worthy opponent.

The ‘New Leipsig tennis club is bid- ding for this Slope event next year, and, while it has not been definitely decided. it is thought that New Leip- sig will enjoy the honor next sea- son.

At both farms threshing was under way, and the motor trucks hauled the grain through the : The trucks encountered no difficulties whatsoever in perform- ing the work usually done by horses in less time and at a smaller cost, A check was made on the total cost of every operation and comparisons were made with the costs by doing the same work with horses.

All of the trucks have stood. the hard grind with remarkable ease. Only three punctures so far have beery met with, all due to tires running’ over spikes.

Use Pneumatic Tires All of the trucks travel on pneu- inatic tries of various makes and some of them are as large as nine inches in diameter. They have stood the trip excedingly well and show practically no signs of wear although they have traveled 1,500 miles and in some cases much more than this, It is said that by using this type of tire, the life of the truck is prolonged by one-third because of the reduction of vibration and road jolts.
