MUST BE VERY CAUTIOUS

I L Greenwald. head Of the service de-

Der Company, suggests the following pre-
cautions to auto owners:
When you are through. with lyour car
for the season, jack II up, remove tins
tires from the rims, and wash them well
with soap and water. Be sure to remove
al traces of oil or grease. The rims.
too, should be sandpapered TO remove AL
traces OF rust accumulation and painted
with liquid graphite.
For the best protection. the tires should
be wrapped In clean cloth or paper and
laid flat in a eoo, dark place. II possi-
Bile, store tires where they viii not be
subjected to extremes Of beat and cold.
A temperature of forty to sixty degrees

Incased in Paper.
All Firestone tires are incased in heavy
paper at the factory, by q special wrap
ping machine, to protect them from the
deteriorating influence Of light until such
time as they are ready for use.
A very effective way Is to wrap them
in strips Of muslin or buriap, about three
inches wide. Wind these strips around
the tire and have each wrap lap over
about one inch.
Inner tubes should be deflated. and
placed in a box, or wrapped In clean

Will Be a Big Feature at
Tri-State Fair.
Hounds Will Start Opposite Grand
Stand and Continue Around the
Old Race Course, Finishing
Under a Wire at Starting Point.

A feature of considerable con-
sequence at the Memphis Tri-
State Fair, from September 20 to
October 8, will be a fox hound
race. Several experienced hounds
have been entered and will make
the mile distance over the race
course without being forced to
chase a fox.
The only thing to guide them
will be their masters horns. Men
will be stationed at various points
around the track and blow blasts
from the regular fox hunting
horns, and this will spur the dogs
on in their chase until the wire is
reached at the starting point.
All hounds are experienced.
They have been trained for this
race and it is expected to be one
of the most exciting events Of
the fair meeting.
President A. l.. Parker, of the
Tri-State Fair association, says,
so far as he knows, it is the first
race of its kind ever planned, and
he believes every dog will strive
to make it as realistic as possible
by endeavoring to reach the wire
first.
Hundreds of people can recall
fox hunting days of yesteryears.
While the sport is still in exis-
tence, it has long since been abol-
ished in many parts of the coun-
try, and thousands of young peo-
pie are living today who have
never witnessed real fox hounds
at work.
The fair association in staging
fox hound race believe it will
be as much Of an educational fea-
ture as one devoted to pleasure
and they propose to make it a
leading event at the fair by hav-
ing such races every afternoon.
Leading hounds from Tennessee
and Mississippi kennels will be
found in competition at the fair.
Anyone owning a first class hound
can enter provided it is attended
to at once. you or your neigh
bors own one enter him with
Frank d. Fuller, Secretary of the
Fair.

Be prepared to be Taxed.

Indications point to an increase in
taxation all along the line, national,
State and municipal, in the case OF
the first named without CORES
ponding, or partial corresponding.
benefit to the people who must,
whether they wish to, or not, pay the
tax.
1t is said the loss in revenue to the
United States from customs duties
because of the conflict going on in
Europe. will reach 1T least one hun
dred millions of dollars, sum which
our enlightened statesmen at Wash
ington propose to cover by placing
a tax of 5 or 10 per cent on railway
tickets. and on tickets to places of
amusement, etc, and by doubling the
tax on beer.
BY means of the first mentioned
devise it is estimated $60,000,000
will be obtained, by the second $780,
100000, total of s110,000,000.
In the meantime the cost OF living
is also advancing in every direction,
also attributed to the European war.
But the latter fact does net appear
to be bothering our so-called repres-
sentatives no with salaries of $3.50
annually each, and with mileage and
other allowances that may easily
run the sum to $4,000 a year, are
not worrying as to where they are
going to get meats, sugar, ETC., for
their tables, clothing and shoes for
themselves and their children, or
homes to live in within their in
comes.
These so-called representatives
have no cause to worry over war, as
have the average wage Garner on a
salary Of from $500 to $1,500 a year.
But they do have their worries, wor-
ries that other them considerably,
These worries are brought about by
i thinking of their political hench-
men at home. the men who pull the
political wires under the direction of
the boss, content to subsist upon the
crumbs that are thrown out under
the guise of public appropriations
pork barrel legislation as it is popu
larly known, legislation that appro'
pirates mellions for the improvement
of streams that rise nowhere and
everywhere and empty into like
places, for public buildings costing
$4,000 to a15O,000 in towns and
cities where a business of $500 a
year would create panic among the
office force and CONSERVATION among
the politicians who would regret
/ having asked for so small an amount
when more could SO easily be Sc
cured.
Pork barrel legislation amounts to
hundreds of millions of dollars every
year. II is money spent more to
provide sinecures for political bench
ment rather than for the public
good.
Bad enough. disgraceful enough as
such legislation is at all times, it is
worse and more disgraceful when car
ricd on under such stress as the people
of this country are under at the pres
ent time,
flour so-called representatives in
Washington will cut out pork bar
rel legislation for a single year, there
will be no reason to devise ways and
means to increase the taxes Of a
people who are already greatly over
taxed.

A FINE EDITION.

One Of the best booster editions
of a newspaper that has come to this
ONCE in some time Is that of the
Marshall Gazette, one OF the most
prosperous, substantial and reliable
of the country papers. The special
edition il not only highly creditable
to the paper, but It speaks Volumes
for the eAterprising business men OF
Lewisburg and Marshall county,
whose substantial patronage indi-
catees high appreciation of the
well directed use of printers ink.
But the paper 10 not altogether filled
with paid matter; it has much Of his
torical, commercial and agricultural
interest concerning the splendid citi'
,zenship of Marshall county. James
N. McCord, one Of the bright lights
Of Tennessee country journalism, de.
serves hearty congratulations upon
the success of his efforts.

POLITICAL COMBINES.

It Is charged, and we must confess
that there is proof to support the
charge, that Senator Lea and Hilary
Howse, the liquor boss of Nashville
have entered into a political alliance
If this is true it is of course not to
be defended, but it only goes to
prove that politicians are all pretty
much of whatness. They are ready
at all times to get support from any
source. There have been few candi
dates for political place or POWER
who would spurn the help Of any one
or any interest.
Even Gov. Hooper, placed upon a
pedestal as he is by many Of the sin.
cere advocates of gvod government,
was not above getting assistance
any where he could find it. He went
into a hard and fast alliance with
Mayor Crump, the whiskey boss OF
Shelby county, in order to obtain
control Of the legislature Of the state.
He went SO far as to vote every re
publican in the house, whom he
could influence, for Crump's puppet.

FIGHT THE suRs.

Every year Maury county farmers
lose hundreds of dollars from cookie
burs on their farms. There are com.
paratively few aeeces Of wool that
come to market that are free from
burs. Farmers make Zig mistake
when they do not wage ceaseless wal
upon cookie burs until these pests
are absolutely eliminated from the
farm. They are too expensive q
luxury. Land in Maury county is toe
high to be devoted to the growing Of
burs. Wool is worth too much to
cucumber and damage it with liber
al mixture of cookie burs. These
pests can be rooted out Of tine farm;
they have been in other sections
Maury county wool should measure
up to the highest standard; it should
equal that Of Kentucky and it vii

ness, but can be made an effective
remedy to prevent those things that
are against public morals.
Under this law citizens have q
remedy. where oficials will not act
that heretofore they have not had.
OF course II conditions were ideal, If
oficials were jealous Of the sanctity
Of their oaths; II they were ready at
all times to do their solemn duty un.
der all conditions, there would be NO
occasion for q nuisance law or any
other statute which In effect places
the burden Of Acknowledgement upon
the private citizen. But in. Tennes-
see, under our peculiar form Of gov
eminent, these conditions do not
exist
In Nashville, for example, the may.
or and city administration are openly
Hostile to certain wholesome stat
utes. Thefe the nuisance law can be
invoked and made to serve splendid
purpose. We wonder why the citi-
zens do not without further delay,
avail themselves of this powerful In
strument for the suppression of vice.
There are judges upon the courts of
Nashville who win not, upon a proper
showing under this statute, hesitate
to grant injunctions. We are frank
to confess that we are at a loss to
understand the situation. The Nash
vile papers, both ayowedly standing
for the strict enforcement Of the
laws, should lead the movement for
their enforcement through the pro-
visions Of this statute.

THE NUISANCE LAW.

In a recent opinion handed down
by Judge Huffaker of Knox county
a high tribute is paid to the null
sance law. The judge shows how
this law can be used to abate bust.
ness that is manifestly illegal and
necessarily nuisance in the eyes OF
the law makers. The abatement OF
such a business will do no possible
harm to the man who obeys the
law; it is in no sense a MANAGE to

STATE TEXT BOOKS.

It 10 announced that under the new
contract just awarded by Gov. Hoop
or and the state board Of education
there will be savings in public
school books during the coming five
year period of 100000. II this saw
ings has been obtained without a
sacrifice Of quality in the text books
the thoughtful people Of the state
will applaued the governor and his
associates. It is not always, how
ever, a matter Of congratulation when
cheaper school books are obtained
for the children of the state.
It will be recalled that when the
first award was made under the uni
form text book law Of 1899 Gov. Nc
Millin boasted Of the enormous sum
that he had saved to the people oil
Tennessee by reason Of the reduc
ton obtained In the school books
It developed later that many Of the
books selected were inferior and
that the savings in price had large
ly been obtained at the sacrifice Of
quality.
1t is to be hoped that this has not
been the case with Gov. Hooper's
award, but it has been reported that
the findings Of the sub-commission
which graded the books, were large

ciates In awarding the contracts. il

Few politicians who are ambitious,
and there are very few who are not
can resist the temptation to do those
things that will win popular ap-
CLAUSE. The politicians appreciate
the fact that mighty good way to
a mans heart Is through his pocket
books. They like to boast of the
money they have saved to the dear
Taxpayers" There are more people
who do not think and seriously
weigh all Of the aspects OF pro
position than there are of the other
sort. These folks are easily caught
with cheap demagogy about saw
ings in the cost Of text books. They
are not likely to examine the books
carefully to ascertain whether or NOT

books are not, after all, the most
expensive.

inclined to the opinion that false
economy has been practiced In
awarding the text book contracts.
