Endorsement of the

Several weeks ago, the manu-
facturers OF Go" motor speeder,

which is claimed to save 80 to sc
per cent gasoline consumption,
sent me their advertisement.
wrote them | had a mighty good
newspaper and if they would send
me one OF the Go" motor speeders
| would give it thorough test
and if it proved what they claimed
for it would recommend the
same to my friends through my
paper. They sent it, and on last
Sunday | gave it fair test.
On Friday | filled my gasoline
tank level full, set my speedometer
to 0, got three men and drove 10
ITO miles, measured the gasoline
in the tank with ainch rule and had
eight inches. The position of the
car was marked on the ground so
as to drive in the identical spot
after installing the go" On
Saturday morning the go" was
skillfully installed by Harry ALI
spaubh. On Sunday | filled my
tank level full again, set speedome-
ter at 0, got three men of the
same weight as the first trip, drove
over the same road as before a
distance Ii 7-10 miles back to the
office, stopping the car in the same
place, and measured the gasoline
with the same inch rule, which
showed a saving Of half an inch,
registering eight and one.half
inches, against eight on the former
trip. Both measurements were
made on a 13 ITO mile basis, as
his is what the speedometer
showed when both measurements
we're taken. The engine did not
neat unnecessarily and there was

ny experience, that the go"
motor speeder will save gasoline

PrOminentM Man Has
Stroke Of Paralysis.

Dresden was shocked on last
Thursday, about noon, when it
became known that Mr.. Hillary
Jones had suffered a stroke OF
paralysis, the right side being
affected. Mr.. Jones was doing
some work on a fence in the gar
den, and Mrs. Jones and son,
Rogers, we're setting out rose
bushes. Mr.. Jones was found
standing and almost speeches..
He was carried to the house and a
physician summoned at once.
For several DAYS his power OF
speech was considerably impaired,
but he suffered no pain at all,
The very best of medical attention
and nursing is being given him
and the physicians believe that
Mr.. Jones will soon be fully re.
stored. Dresden has no more
popular citizen than HILLARY, and
calls from both town and over the
county over the telephone come in
hourly asking his condition, ex-
pressing hope of early recovery
and words OF sympathy.

leys, that same must be stopped
and if it is not done or a bona fide
attempt to stop it by the first
Monday-in April, the penalty Of
the ordinance prohibiting same
will be enforced promptly. 1t is a
misdemeanor to allow this water
to run out on the surface and in
the streets and alleys. We have
as healthy a town as any in Ten
nessee and we must keep it that
way. Each citizen should have
the good health of his family and
the town at heart, and should
without any ordinance put his
sewerage in sanitary sink and
if he uses a commode should have
a septic tank. / am pleased to say
that nearly all the people have
signifed their Willingness to take
care of their sewerage, but there
are some exceptions. However, |
am constrained to say to them
that, while they are my best
friends, there will be no compro-
mise on this question, but they
are respectfully requested to com
ply with this ordinance promptly
or suffer the penalty if they fail.
No further notice will be given.
| take this opportunity of thank
ing the good people OF Dresden
for past courtesies, and for their
hearty cooperation in the past in
our efforts to better Dresden and
beg to remain,
Yours very respectfully,

(By H. G. Stockwell, Division Of Exten.

It has been demonstrated through
testing associations, by individual rec
ords, and by the breed as$ ociations,
that systematic system Of milk and
butterfat records, and also al record OF
the feed consumed by each Individual
COW, is the only method of cunning a
dairy on business and profitable ba-
sis. 1t is impossible to breed up a
herd of profitable COWS without this
system Of checking each cows per-
Torrance by what she actually does at
the pail
When starting to keep herd records,
a record sheet should be procured and
placed on the wall of the ba1n in the
most handy place. Then a pair of
scales should be purchased and hung
to one side of the record sheet. After
milking each COW, the milk should be
weighed and the weight recorded on
the record sheet for future use.
At the end of each month d sample
of each cows milk should BIZ taken
and tested for butterfat, and from
these records the total amount lof milk
and butterfat can be calculated,
The record is not complete unless
the amount and cost of feed, (which
each cow consumes, is known, The
feed should be weighed or med sured,
and, if the latter method is used, the
weight of feed which the measure con-
tains should be known
With the record of production and
the amount and cost of feed consumed,
1t is easy to detect and eliminate. the
improbable COWS in the herd. n,
After detecting Improbable COWS in
the herd, they should be sold to the
butcher and replaced by profitable
COWS, and records kept the sane as
on the original herd.

Lads Happy Over
Killing Red Fox.

Two of the happiest La we ever
saw were Masters Har Fergu-
son and Harold Jones, who, on
last Friday, killed a lar red fox
in the Irvine woods, soul b Of town
about half a mile.
The boys imagined they We're
squirrel hunting, having target
rifle and a fox terrier dog. They
were in the woodslot just dputh Of
Mrs. Irvine's home, when Heynard
gave a leap and bound and away
he went, the boys after hind in hot
pursuit and yelling with d Il their
might. Their "purp" also dbok up
the chase and Mr.. Fox was q owded
so close that he took upga tree,
going up a distance of tel feet or
more and perching upon1a limb,
where he remained until the boys
came up with their target rifle.
Three shots were fired at REWARD,
two taking effect-one under the
neck and the other at the r pot of the
tail, and Mr., Fox came I Stumbling
down to the ground, The boys
danced and shouted in perfect glee.
The animal was brought to town
and viewed by many, and the two
lads, both about nine year. of age,
were dubbed heroes.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get a IS cent bottle
Of DandeFine right now-AIso
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it ii you will just try little Dan
derine. Save your hair! Try it!
