 PLEASURE CARS
 |S CONTENTION

Serves US right for calling them pleasure cars,' exclaimed R. c. Rues- chaw, sales manager of the Rec Motor Car company when he first heard of the proposition to tax automobiles , per cent for the war fund.
 We cannot blame the Solons at Washington if they consider automo- piles an unnecessary luxury when we consistently refer to roadsters, touring cars business mems cOupes, etc, as pleasure cars
 T have had it in mind for a long time to change this foolish nomenclature in Rec advertisements, but it is difficult for one person or one concern to eradi- cate d deep-seated error.
 If the telephone is a necessity; if electric lights are not a needless eX- travagance; if sewing machines are not merely a recreation for the tired mother-then certainly automobiles are absolutely indispensable in this work a-day world
 Tn perhaps per cent of cases, the automobile might properly be referred to as a pleasure car In a still larger percentage of cases the telephone could legitimately be sO-calied.
 When the people generally come to accept the fact that the automobile is a necessity and is one of the greatest, then there will be no more thought of putting an extra tax on it than there is of taxing carriages and farm wagons.
 ''Time was, you know. when they put an extra tax on sunlight-in England they used to tax the house according to the number of windows that were in 5t. Gradually they came tOrealize that sunlight was a necessity to health.
 Just because the automobile does contribute SD much pleasure to fife, even when used in purely business way, We have all gotten in the habit Of referring to them as pleasure caBs'

DRAWING WORK EXHIb|T T|ON.|s
 PLEASING ONE
Design is the basis of everything.

Design is the basis of everything.
 Upon that principle the pupils of the Phoenix grammar schools are being taught drawing by Miss CordeIia Me Lain as evidenced at the. exhibit held last week at the Monroe school. The exhibit was different. than the usual school display of drawing. The work was so admired yexperts that it brought out the fact that Phoenix grammar schools are today doing work in design unequalled by any city in the west with the exception of Los Ange- les and Portland, and the work here is equal to that of these two coast cities.
 Miss McLain, who before coming to Phoenix four years ago won q repu- tation as a teacher of design in the east said that parents had begun to ap preciatc the importance of drawing in the public schools. As explained. de- sign is the basis of everything, which reduced to more common place ana lysis means that the artistic sense, so to speak, must be manifest in every thing done that is worth doing at all.
 To hang a picture on a wall re- quires a Knowledge of design. To dec crate a store window requires a fine eye for design. To day out a news paper advertisement requires a knowl edge of design, otherwise 1t will not attract the readers attention.
 Balance of objects, harmony in lines, inst proportions and a hundred. other things so necessary to every branch of business and trade are being taught through the drawing course in the Phoenix public schools.
 The simplest drawing has in it some thing which will develop in the pupil more or less the sense of just propor- tiors. Such drawing has become one Of the most important branches Of the child's education. To make a table or a chair in the manual arts division of the school training will at first attract to most applause. But to learn how to design first is to build table or a chair or machine or q house in truly "a superior. manner. This returns the argument to the principle that design is the basis of everything.
 Mi ss McLain said that the war had brought home tie necessity of teaching American children how to design things. Business houses in the past have relied on foreigners to do their designing. Put now there are no for eigners. or at best very few available. It ia up to the American parent says Miss McLain, to see that the child gets a careful training in design There is money-big money-in designing in al- most any branch of industry. The ar

 According to C. A. Fish, manager of the Central Auto Supply 'company. the Miller company is practically the only large tire manufacturer that treats the rubber with steam. This method. it is claimed gives greater strength to the fabric with the re- suit that greater mileage is ootain- able. All Miller tires are adjusted on a basis of 4.500 miles.

A COUNTY THAT Is
BOOSTING ITSELF
Sees in a FulIy.Deveoped Farm Life
the Permanent Prosperity
1t Desires.

by Harry B. Potter, Division of Ex-
tension, University OF Tennessee
Knoxvillo)
The boil weevil hit some counties in
West Tennessee pretty hard this year.
Those who work with cotton all OF the
time say that the boil weeyil will come
next year harder than it did this year.
That is history.
Every part of Tennessee has its boil
waevil-sOme evil that comes when
the one-crop system of farming is fol,
lowed, 1t may be a weed pest, and
again it may be some insect. But evil
follows a~system of farming that tears
down the land.
West Tennessee presents to us
county that is coming back, that IS
brikling for the future. An active mer
chart of that county, seeing that on
farm prosperity depends his prosperity,
saws some things in fullpage adver-
tisement in the county papers that, if
looked at in the light OF conditions in
any county in Tennessee, may be ap.
piled by every reader of this column,
The pege is headed "Hardeman Coun-
ty On Top" And then the page goes
on to say:
"Experience is the best teacher, but
are we going to sit idly by and get this
exUeEience. or are we going to take
advantage of the other fellows eXpe-
rience?
What To Do-Study the weevil, get
bulletins concerning the weevil and in,
form yourself what is the very best
thing to do. We have a few bulletins
and will have more. Ask for them or
write the College of Agriculture, Knox
vile, Tennessee. or Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, d. c.
what To Do Now--Disk your cot,
ton stalks Immediately and turn them
under completely. Sow wheat as a
soil protection and for a money crop
next year. Destroy the winter home
of the weevil by burning weeds along
roadside. ditch banks, fence rows, in
thickets and around stumps.
What To Do Later-With the boil
, weevil to fight, you can not successful
! ly grow as large acreage of cotton as
before. Prepare to substitute other
crops for some of cotton next year
| Produce on your farm what you eat
and some to sell the town fellow
Have a good garden, by all means
! Get start in live stock, poultry, hogs
I sham GOATS and cattle
Stock Raising-Hardeman County
is naturally stock-raising county, be
! ing providentally blessed with fine
pastures and streams for watering pur
poses. However, we are getting toe
many different breeds of cattle and
hogs. We should select the best all
round hog and best breed of cattle
both for beef and milchers. In DOING
this we will enhance the value of oul
stock and increase our selling power
+! as cars loaded with the same breed al
ways bring more on the market"

Ireland First Country to
Require Surnames; Here
Is What Some of Them Mean

The fact is not generally known
that Ireland was the first country in
modern Europe to enforce the adop-
ton of Surnames by law The act
prescribing their general use was
passed more than 100 years before the
Anglo Norman invasion, whereas sur
names did not come into general use
in England until the days of Queen
Elizabeth, nor in Wales till late in the
seventeenth century.
There are some interesting mean
ings attaching to the most well-known
Irish names. Here are n few, with
the curious changes of spelling that
have come about since the names first
originated:
Murphy came from ONIurphy, Nor
phcy, and Morphew, meaning "superi-
or"
Kelly came from O'Kelly, Kelly,
Kelley, meaning "for war"
O'Connors is derived from Connors,
Conerty. meaning "helper."
Dougherty from O'Doherty, Doherty,
Daughaday meaning destroyer"
All Irish names at the first stage in
their history had 60 before them, the
first change consisting of dropping
, that co." Ii will not be necessary,
therefore, to repeat the name with the
go" before it.
Sullivan was originally Sullifnnt and
! Sullivant. meaning "quick sighted"
Oponnell and Mcdonnell and all
combinations of that name were Don
aid, Daniel, Dona, meaning dark
| chief"
EIoloney was OMullowney, Meloney'
Mullany, meaning "thOughtful.'
Mccormack was O'Cormac, McCor-
mac. Mccormick, meaning "son of the
crown"
Flynn was Flann, meaning red"
Flanagan was Finnegan, meaning
"Druid."
Boyle was Boylan, Boland, Bolan
Boylin, meaning "benlgn."
O'Brian was Bryan, Bryant, Briles
| Bryon. meaning author"
Brady was McBrady, meaning "shiT
captain"
Macauley was O'C?wlew, McGawly
McAuly, McAuliff, Cawley, meaning
echo" or literally, "son of the rock

Old idea of Gulf Stream,
Once Taught in Schools,
Changed by Later Study

1t is only by speaking loosely that
the shippers of several incoming ships
can say, as reported, that the presence
of many sharks along the coast was
due TO shifting of the Gulf stream.
What they mean was that the northeast
drift of warm water is greater than
usual, broader, perhaps, or closer in
shore, or possibly a degree or two high
err in temperature than is customary at
this time in this latitude, says the New
York Sun.
The Gulf stream as a distinct cur
rent cannot be identified north of the
thirty-second parallel of latitude, which
II crosses between the Bermudas and
the Carolina coast. There 1t divides
into small streams. The westerly winds
blow upon it and break up its surface
It's warm waters become mixed with
the colder ocean and it becomes an ele-
ment of the northeast. At the same
time the warm currents are recOgnlZa-
bic as far north as 40 degrees latitude,
n trife south of New York; beyond AZ
degrees north and so degrees west
longitude no test of temperature, salt
ness. color or motion serves to distln-
guish them from the rest of the ocean
drift
Who does not remember having 1T
impressed on him in his schooldayS
that the ministrations of the gulf
stream alone made habitable the Brit
ish Isles? 1t is not true, as patient
study has shown. The southwest
winds bring moisture from the ocean
TO Europe, and this great blanket OF
moist air contains much more latent
heat than dry air at the same temper
allure. From the moist air come
clouds, fogs and rain, which condenSe
heat and water upon the Old World
and prevent the loss of ground heat
by radiation. That is why there IS
such striking difference in temper
atures upon single line of latitude
cutting the two continents.
While the warm water flows north
east from the Mexican gulf the cold
water on the north is finding its way
sOuthwesterly, deeper down. When
the cold current strikes the tropical
zone it becomes heated and rises 70
flow northeast again. The Gulf OF
Mexico is like the coil of pipe in Il
gas water heater; it supplies intense
heat in small area and Adequately

system of Farm Accounting Possible
for Any Farmer Who viii Get in
Touch with the Division OF Eten'
s.on-Can Your Farm Methods Be

By c. z. Alfred. Division of Extension,

Good farm accounts are as useful 10
the farmer as to the business man
since farming is a business, the same

,1terprise. Farm accounting does not
.oauire that the account be kept i'll
particular form. or upon a certain SIDE
OF the page, but is simply a logical Sc
lection and arrangement of farm facts
TO make correct study possible.
The difficulties OF farm accounting
are generally overestimated, an entire
" wrong impression being he'd by
many people on this subject. Good ac-
counts are within the reach OF every
farmer.
The few minutes regularly spent in
,zeeping farm accounts Will yleld
larger returns than an equal amount
of time devoted to farm work, II
proper use is made of the information
the records contain.
This winter or early spring is the
time to begin keeping records.
It is important for The farmer to
know what lines of production are
Welding the best returns. On an un'
profitable line or enterprise he should
change his methods of production to
lessen the costs or, if an enterprise
can not be made profitable under his
conditions of farming, it should be
dropped out, just as merchant drops
, a customer who does not pay his bills

he says, according to London Tit-Bits,
"proves that it is not so by any means.
We bought young bird last January,
SO wild that on our approach it flew
madly round the cage. We hung the
cage low, and by patience, after the
bird got used to our proximity, induced
it to take grOundsel, first held at
STEMS length, then between the fingers
finally from the lips. We used to let
him out freely, and he would perch on
the loaf next me at breakfast. HIS
perch projected through the wires, and
here was his favOrite seat when at I'D
erty. Then l tried hanging bit OF
groundsel by short string to the pro-
iecting stick. After inspection ne
pulled it up with his beak. On length
ening the string with fresh bit OF ms

interest of seeing him pull up the
string with his beak till the flower head
was within reach, catching the slack
after each pull with one foot and then
transferring it to the other, so that the
coils were quite neat"
