HINT TO BRYAN

Mir. Bryan belongs to that rare
genus of cyclists who regard them
selves as superior to the laws of state
and rules of conduct that are binding
upon the ordinary citizen and as inn
umne to their operation. But he was
given hint in the United States SEN
ATE Monday that there are laws to re-
strain him if he exceeds all bounds
in his unwarranted activity in the
present crises. Basing his action, ac-
cording to the statement of several
senators. upon an unconfimed report
that Mr.. Bryan had a conference
Sunday with Count Won Bernstortf

cow TESTING PROVES
POPULAR WITH FARMERS
This Is Explained BY the Fact That
Profits lncrease-What Cow-Test-
ing Associations Do.

(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee.
Knoxville)
Where there are enough cows TO
Justify the action on the part Of farm.
ers. cow-testing associations are de-
sirable. Several communities are al.
ready organized and have testers EN-.
ployed.
Conditions for a cow-testing associa-
ton are ideal when there are 400 cows
in about rs herds. Several Tennes.
see counties are coming up to this
standard
A cow-testing association will dc
mich for any dairy community.
1t furnishes an exact record of pro.
duction of each cow in the herd, with
a record of the cost of feed consumed
and the net profit per COW. About one.
third of the COWS in Tennessee are
kept at a loss. 1t enables one to weed
out the Improbable cows.
The records Of production enable
one to feed more intelligently and
more economically. 1t is a common
practice to feed all the cows in the
herd alike. Under these conditions
the poor cows will receive too much,
and the good ones will not get enough
The proper way is to feed each cow in
proportion to the amount of milk she
gives. When this practice is adopted
1t usually results in greater production
of milk at less cost for feed
The tester is able to advise with the
owner each month in regard to the
most economical feed to use, and also
to balance the rations for the owner
The members can cooperate in buy.
ing cottonseed meal and other feed.
stuffs in carload lots, thus effecting
saving.
Contrasting associations stimulate
community breeding, exchange of
bulls, and a spirit of friendly rivalry,
and foster better social spirit in the
community.
1t enables one to tell which are the
best cows from which to raise heifer
calves
The cost is trifs as compared to
the returns.

MOTOR INDUSTRY REPRESENTS HOPE

That Howard E. Coffin and the mo- tor car industry which he typifies rep resent the hope of America today is the opinion of F. P. Merritt of the Alabama Motors company. distributors for the Premier.
 "The motor car industry" says MT Merritt, represents the standard of organization up to which the rest of the country must measure if we are to make real showing in the ap- preaching war.
 fIt is fortunate that We have in this country an industry which. for sheer organiza tion and efficiency. stands at the head of the class in the worlds school of efficiency. The American mo- tor car industry has long been doing. as a matter of daily practice, the very things that the whole country must now do in a national emergency.

GOODYEAR SPIRIT
 BEING DEVELOPED
 AT PLANTIN AKRON
Building to Cost S45O,0OO Being Built for Educational and
 Social Activities

The announcement of a magnificent &50,000 building to be known as Good year hall, in which to house the rapidly increasing educational social and athletic activities of the Goodyear Tire and Rub Der company, Akron, O., has just been made by the directors of the company
 Among the employees of the company a wonderful Goodyear spirit has been developed, which rivals the college spirit that is prevalent wherever there are colleges said Jewell Taylor Every em- ploye has discovered that each one of his 10000 fellow workers is a kindred spirit-a genuine human being-with like hopes and aspirations with himself
 'The company believes that workmen, as rule, are better off if they remain associated with one organiza ton than if they should constantly change positions from one company to another, So the prime reason for the new Goodyear hall is the desire to offer to all employees the greatest facilities for their mental physical and social betterment, and at the same time cement their relations to the company.
 "One of it's prominent features is an immense gymnasium for all kinds of in- door athletics requiring a large assembly hall. It is to have seating capacity of 5000 with all stage and assembly hall facilities Adjoining will be a swimming pool ranking in every respect with the best in the country.
 Another feature is an auditorium with a seating capacity of 1400, arranged with particular reference to acoustic proper ties, to be used for sales and factory conferences theatricals and entertain ments.

WATCH ELECTROLYTE
 SAYS BATTERY MAN
Amount of Air Pressure No More
 Important Than Specific Gravity

Watch the electrolyte in your battery as you do the air in your tires" advises Don Drennen of the Birmingham Motor company, the local USL service station.
 The amount of air pressure in your
 tires is no more important than is the specific gravity of the electrolyte in your battery"
 "The strength of a battery is largely dependent upon the strength of it's cleo
 trolyte. Every battery which leaves the
 makers hands has a definite specific
 gravity under which is will properly op-
 crate. Electrolyte of a greater specific gravity will hasten the decomposition Of the plates and separators, thereby completely ruining the battery. This is one reason for not tolerating any change in the specific gravity of the electro lyte other than the natural rise and fall which are directly proportionate to the progress of charge and discharge, and therefore pe.'ectly proper"
 Tt is then necessary to always keep the electrolyte at the proper specific gravity. Especially is the car owner ad- vised to attend to this in the spring. During the winter months the battery has been idle but now it must be awak- ened to its springtime responsibilities. The surest and best methods to follow is to take the battery to a battery ex- pert and let him test it's specific gravity
 and voltage tor you free of charge
