Show PONTOON SEASON FOR AUTOS HERE This is the season of the year when it is essential that every motorist equip his car with pontoons. The farmer, in Jus ardent and patriotic desire to raise all the foodstuff necessary for war consumption, con-sumption, is now liberally and copiously watering the highwavs 'as well as his garden and broad fields. In the vicinity of Salt Lake several cars have -.lately been stuck tjght and faBt in mud a foot deep, indicating that almost too much water js being diverted from the legitimate irrigating channels for moistening the driveways. A little water, now and then, is a mighty good thing for any road. It helps immeasurably immea-surably to keep the surface harcT and smooth, if it be a dirt road. But when it is inundated witt a foot or more of water for a period of several hours, it is apt to become just a trifle too moist, and the first unsuspecting car driver who happens alonp will most likely have I to be yanked out of the pool bodily by real horse power. Conservation is the mighty slogan of the hour, and perhaps it is not asking too much of the. agriculturists hereabouts here-abouts to conserve just a little on the amount of water they annually divert to the highways. |
