Gossip never healed any broken

those who are the objects of its

WsLearn From Experience.

A resident of Georgia, who is at
the head of very large mercantile
business, said to me the other day:
Inability to sell our cotton has
worked a great hardship TO the
South, but in the end it will prove
a great benefit. For years our state
agricultural colleges have urged the
planting of more diversified crops
but their advice fell mostly on deaf
ears. We felt secure III that old,
comfortable, Ut now exploded
boast, that we could build a stone
wall around this country and live
on just about the same An al
most total failure Of the cotton crop
even would not have worked the
desired result, because any one
staple could not fail every year.
And now the fash light is turned
OH millions Of bales Of as fine cotton
as ever grew. which must remain in
storage until Mr. Demand returns
And so our planters are figuring
what they Cop'1 have made with
more corn and cats. Il will take 2
or 8, perhaps more, crops before onr
people learn how to approach the
big corn production Of the northern
corn belt, but th1t The average pro
duction pei acre cln be doubled, by
different planting and more cultiVa-
ting, is already assured. The plant
ing now determined on includes
more food products than ever before
and a coed share Of this harvest
will not be shipped as grain, but
will be fed to pork and beef stock.
The industrial departments of the
railroads have done a splendid work
in encouraging boys in the raising
corn, and where the average farmer
was satisfied with Is to Is bushels
per acre the boys have produced as
high as 100 to 10 bushels from one
acre. This of course was highly in
tensifed production stimulated by
the hope Of winning some of the
handsome prizes offered by the rail-
roads, but nevertheless served as an
actual demonstration of possibilities
and when reduced to the practical
performance OF large tracts shows
returns which are highly profitable
The South will remain the cotton
field of the world, but from now or
it will grow millions of grains and
other foods" H. H. Windsor. in

ADVICE TO BEGINNERS.
First Month of Driving Auto is Most
Important to man who Follows Safety.

Take your time during the first
month OF driving keep cool and have
a reason for everything you do, and
think-and you will get along all right.
Know what each pedal is for, know
what each button will do, but be sure
about it, and do not lose your head.
Then you will not get into any trouble.
Early morning is the best time to
learn the rudiments of driving. Go
slowly and keep to the right. Get in
the habit of watching for street cars
both on the street you are driving on
and on the cross streets.
After a short period, when you feel
satisfied you have mastered the elemen.
tary things, drive later in the day when
the traffic is heavy. But be careful.
This will accustom you to the crowds.
During the learning period drive slow
ly. Do not speed up. Most of the trou-
bic comes from driving too fast.
And remember your car is a piece of
machinery. 1t is not infallible. Do not
expect the impossible of i'll

struction and many of these men have
secured competency through their
mechanical ability.
The younger generation Of automo-
bile Luilders in Kenosha promises to
give even more to the art of automobile
building. These men are studying
daily in order to produce something
that will make automobiles better and
safer and while many of these little
inventions are never heard of by the
public at large, they go a long way
toward making up the big advance in
the automobile industry. This inven-
tive genius of Kenosha is being cen
tered not only in improving the opera
tive part of the automobile but also in
making better automobile bodies and
working out the hundreds of little con-
veniences which go to make automobile
driving and automobile riding a de-
light.
Kenosha has given lot to the equip
ment of automobiles. The Arneson
Foundry company is now giving up a
lot of its time to the manufacture of
steel cast wheels to be used for trucks
For years the Badger Brass Manufact-
uring Company has supplied great
lot of the automobile lamps used in the
country, the Simmons Manufacturing
company has been making parts for
bodies and other equipment. The latest
addition to the Kenosha makers Of au-
tomobile parts is the Frost Manufact-
uring company, which is building the
Brad Kent carburetor. This carbure-
tor is new one on the market, but it
is declared to have already won its
way and with the coming of the new
season it is certain that thosands of
high grade cars will be equipped
with it.

AUTO BRAKES.
One of the Most Important Points on
an Automobile is the Brake.

The braking service Of an automobile
is matter for serious thought and at
tention. The braking apparatus on
railway trains, not only passenger, but
freight, was considered of sufficient
Importance some years ago as to occupy
the time and attention of Congress and
the mechanical experts of the country.
If the braking apparatus of train,
running as it does over private right of
way, guarded on all sides by mechani-
cal devices for the warning of the pub
lie, by gates and attendants, and prac-
tically all the modern methods. pointing
toward safety, how much more serious
thought should be given to the braking
efficiency of an automobile, which in
most instances is decidedly more pow
erful, size and weight considered, than
La locomotive, decidedly more speedy,
and run at all times not over private
roadway, but over the public thorough
fares.
With the passenger or freight train
the braking apparatus must be of GER
tain efficiency and everything in con-
nection with it must stand rigid test
and inspection. With an automobile,
the average person makes inquiry as
to the horsepower, the speed, the abil-
Iity to climb step grades, but seldom
does the purchaser investigate the
means by which he is to stop this pow
erful machine. The efficiency of a
brake is no greater than the efficiency
OF the lining itself. And yet in many
cases the agent selling the automobile
doesn't know himself whether the lin
ing is highly effective material, like
Thermoid, for instance, or of a mate
rial like blotting paper or celluloid.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-03-11

ock the Overland and the Dodge Broth
ers the new car for the year, the Rice
Motor Car Company the Buick, VAIL
berg and Nelson the Studebaker, Christ
Hansen the Grove Elkhart and Rob-
bins and Barrows the Ford. This list is
incomplete and there are a lot of good
cars being sold by individual agents
who maintain no show rooms, but who
sell lot of cars during the year and
who have agencies for some of the best
cars made in the country.
These same agencies take care of the
sale of electric cars in the city and
some of these agencies sell a large
number of the electrics annually.
For the most part the moderate
priced cars are favorites with Kenosha
people, but there is an active demand
for cars which range in price from
So 900 to $4,000.
The man who is out looking for
sample rides will have no trouble
finding a full week of joy riding in
Kenosha before he buys a car and the
dealers are all of them tickled to death
to show their goods and seek to con-
vince prospective purchasers of the adj
visibility of their particular line as
the most practicable thing in the line
of the automobile.
If the KenOsha man wants heavy
truck, or wagons there are any number
of them offered for sale and there are
a number of agents who are willing to
take orders for anything that can be
designed in the line of special cars.
Kenosha has already gained a repu-
tation for fire wagons and police equip
ment. The Peter Pirsch Company CO.
operating with the Jeffrey Company is
now building this line of vehicles for
nearly every purpose for which mo-
tor drawn vehicle could be used. It's
good thing for Kenosha people buy
ing cars to trade at home and the one
best bet is that it will be money in
their pockets to patronize the local
dealers.

TIGHTEN BODY BOLTS

The bolts which hold the body to the

squeaks are bound to result. Usually

the body and the frame, and If these

TO GET THE FULL MEASURE.

There are one or two men selling
gasoline who are dishonest. Tt is so
very easy to ''short' the measure in
selling gasoline from measuring
pump that the temptation is once in
great while irresistible. The plunger
should be turned clear down to get a
full gallon.

HOW no aREAsE cHAINs

A mixture of graphite or plumbago
and grease is often used on the chains,
chain wheels and chain sprockets of
chain-driven cars, especially in places
where such chains are not protected by
efficient chain cases.

WATCH BRAKE CABLES

Cable wires on the brake should have
frequent inspections. IL a single strand
of the wire breaks, the rest ravel out
very quickly. This is especially true
at places where the cable passes
through and around the sheaye.

PLACE FOR TIRE CHAINS.

A box fastened beneath the foot

a good place to carry tire chains Bore
several half-inch holes in the bottom
and the dirt will shake off the chains.
No need of washing them.

TEMPORARY SPRING REPAIR.

In case OF a broken spring one can
manage to get home by jacking up the
frame to it's normal level and then in
stalling a block. If this block is tied
securely in place one can manage to
drive home, if reasonable care is used.
