BATTERY IS AN
IMPORTANT PART
lnconspicuous But Mighty
Factor in Electrical Equip
ment, Says H. L, Myers

Probably no other improvement
for the autimobile has been more eX-
tensively adopted than the starting
and lighting system. Hand cranking
we know, was certainly troublesome
and time consuming, and it is there
fore not to be wondered at that mo-
torists generally were quick to adopt
the system.
Strange as it may seem, however,
few car owners appreciate the ex-
tent to which the storage battery Is
responsible for the proper operation
of the starting and lighting system.
The average motorist will talk ABOUT
rear aXles, spark plugs, the dlneren-
Iial, the starting and lighting system,
etc, but seldom a word about the
battery used for the system. This
is probably due to the fact that the
battery is tucked away and hidden
from view.
The Electric Storage Battery Com
pany, the oldest and largest manu-
facturer of storage batteries in the
country, makers pf the famous "Ex-
ide" Battery for auto starting and
lighting, has for years endeavored
10 more thoroughly acquaint the
battery ana its care.
1t must not be forgotten that the
"EXide' Battery was the very first
commercially successful battery used
for automobile starting and lighting.
Since its introduction, however, the
manufacturer has made numerous
improvements upon it. The 'EXide'
Battery is now of unit cell construc-
tion-that is, each cell is q separate
11I nl1 af
power in a given space, and permits
the removal of any one cell which
might require repairing, without in
terfering with the remaining cells.
1t was has a patented gas vent and
nonflooding filing plug. There are
also other features of advantage
which are found only in the "EXide'
Battery.
In all the principal cities and
towns "EXide" service stations have
been established to care for the bat
terry need of the motoring public. A
specialist on the care and operation
of batteries at the service station will
gladly give advice to the car owner.
Regular monthly battery tests will
be made at the "EXide" service sta
zion no matter what make of bat
terry on the car. This service Is free
of charge and can be arranged for
by all car owners. Repairs to bat
teries if necessary, will be made at
reasonable cost.
1t is interesting to note that bat
teries made by this company are used
i'm majority of the United States
submarines: for gun firing in the
United States Navy and coast defense
service; for automobile starting ana
lighting; almost exclusively by large
central lighting and power compan-
les: by the telephone. telegraph and
wireless companies; in thousands of
house lighting plants: for both pleas

Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or
calluses, do not run the risk of blood
poison by pairing them. Statistics
show that many deaths have occurred
from this seemingly innocent practice
of pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get
few cents worth of 1ce-Mint, rub a
little on any painful corn or callus.
Immediately the pain will disappear
and in a short time the corn or cal
1us will loosen and lift off easily with
the fingers-root and all-leaving the
surrounding skin in a healthy, normal
condition.
This, together with the fact that
Mint overcomes such affections as
sore. tired, aching, puffed or burning
feet and makes them cool, easy and
comfortable lis probably responsible
for the hearty endorsement given it
by druggists.
To rid ones feet of every hard corn,
soft corn, corn between the toes or
painful calluses in such a pleasant
and safe way, makes it seem the
height of folly for anyone to pare
corn, and people are warned to stop it.

BYA. C. TOWNLEY
The farmers of America can dOu-
bic their crops this year; they can
grow ten times as much food next
year as they ever grew in any year
before, and they don't need any ad-
vice to do this; they need fair deal.
1t is up to the United States gov
eminent whether the years crops
shall be large or small, and it is up
to the same government to say II
next years crops shall be enough to
feed not only the people OF this
country, but all the allies.
This is what the government must
do to get all this fOOdstUff:
Take over the distribution system.
Take over the packing plants, can
neTies, flour mills, warehouses, ele-
YatOrs and storage plants.
Take over the idle land held by
specializing land holders and distrib-
ute it among the hundreds of thou
sands of farmers who will make this
land productive.
Loan the farmers money with
which to make this land productive.
Loan the farmers money with
which to buy seed, equipment and
labor ..s
If the government takes over the
food distribution system, Warehous-
ing channels, and sets the prices, it
will end gambling in foods.
It should set a retail price, which
the city retailer would have to
charge. This price would permit the
retailer a fair margin of profit; it
would give the farmer an amount

The unheard of price of $40 a
hundred was scored for hogs in the
Chicago market On saturday and
prices keep moving upward. Pork,
the hitherto meat food Of the mil
lions, has become practically pro-
hibitive to the very great class de-
pendent upon it for meat Mutton
and lamb have already gone into the
luxury column and beef, while very
high has remained more normal
than any other flesh food. There
are many reasons given for hog
prices: cold, backward Spring hold
ing off the new crop, enormous and
abnormal demands by the United
States government and foreign coun-
tries and reduction in the number
raised. A small hog bringing $40,
puts more profit into the farmers
pocket than any crop that can be
raised. Rusk county should raise
more hogs,-enough to feed the peo-
Pile at home at least. W&h hogs
