Hints for Auto Drivers

Don't look for rich farmer on a bad
road.
Don't look for a bad road in front Of a
rich mans residence.
Don't object TO the Improvement Of roads
just because you are not the possessor Of
an automobile.
Don't forget that your income may be
traced to automobile activity.
Don't sit in the senate IL you are so
stupid that you bark at the automobile
fraternity.
Don't undertake the futile task Of prov
ing that you are an intellectual IL you
legislate against the third industry in the
world.
Don't fail to resign your position in the
legislature II you examine yourself on a
dark night and find that you are an in
competent.
Don't delay action just because you fail
to see the point-the public will under
stand II II you don't.
Don't advocate that the residents Of the
penitentary make clothes for you to wear

Don't fail to request your representatives
In the legislature to make some provision
for the maintenance of roads

ground that you are too immaculate to rub
elbows with the type of politician who
would rather see you vote from a GENE
terry than elsewhere.
Don't let political grafters run your
business for you--do you think so much
Of them that you would place them in
your own office?
Don't fail to appreciate the fact that
every politician is working for you
whether you like is or not.
Don't forget that some politicians give
two ticks for themselves for every lick
they give for you.
Don't take your automobile over a bad
stretch OF road without making a COM
plant in writing to the president of your
club.
Don't belong to a club without advocat-

questions which wish to ask, and
would appreciate an answer through
the Semi-Weelly Journal. How many
notches ought Brown Leghorn roos-
ter to have? What color Of their legsf

Information regarding standard weight

All single comb Leghorns should have
five points to their comb. for 1t to be
perfect. They should be finely SER
rated-the one in the middle being
higher than the two in the rear and
two in front However, the comb can
be more defective by having wrin-
kles in II, thumb marks, or bad shape,
than by not having the proper number
of spikes The standard requires liz
point cut for too many or too few SER
raitfons in. the comb, and the thumb
mark on a comb would be discounted

should have yellow legs, but very
often they show a slight ash color
down the center of the toe and on the
scale IN the front Of the legs This
is all right but the main color should
