TIRE TROUBLE.
Why Careful Driving Means Less ex'
psrse and Fewer Blowouts.

pon80 ana feWeF oioWouto.
| The automobile owner should realize
that a vast proportion Of tire break
downs may be avoided by careful driv-
Ing Frequently stone bruise In the
| tire could have been avoided II the
driver had taken the trouble to swing
his wheel little to avoid contact with
the obstruction Cuts from glass or
metal objects may be largely avoided
II the driver pays strict attention to
what he Is doing. The man who takes
a railway track head-on and at speed
runs the risk of shooting his front
wheels up in the air and bringing the
tires down with thud on the far rails,
thus causing bruise that may result
In blowout later on.
The first thing necessary to be i'm
pressed on the average driver Is that
he himself Is the final court I'm decid
ing Just what mileage he Is to get from
his castings. If he will only drive care
fully most of his troubles will be cured
before they occur Whenever casing
comes In violent contact with sharp
object Of any sort whether it is stone
or railway track, a small break Will
probably be made in one Of the layers
Of fabric. The friction engendered in
service widens this small opening as
strand after strand gives way under
the strain. Finally the inner tube
forces its way into the break, and
sooner or later the opening closes down
on the tube, pinching 1t and causing
blowout of the inner retainer. The
air, at pressure OF between eighty or
ninety pounds, bursts its way through
the injured place. tearing the small
rupture wide open In a gaping blow
out And all because the driver failed
to twist the wheel little to avoid
chance flung stone In the road or re-
fused TO pull up a little to take rail
way crossing diagonally and easily.

How to Preserve Meat When Hunting
Is Told by Hunter

We cut plenty Of meat from both the
sheep and were busy most Of the next
two days caring for our trophies and
drying meat. The sheep and bear skins
had to be scraped. the fat carefully
removed. the skin stretched out to dry
Fortunately the weather was clear and
the sun hot, so that the drying was
quickly and well done. We cut great
deal OF both sheep and bear meat into
strips and hung II on a rack that we
rugged near the fire, where II would
catch the sun and also receive artificial
heat as well Meat dried In this way
will last indefinitely, and, though the
flavor is not much to boast Of, the
meat Is nourishing and goes well IN
"mulligans" and similar connections.
For my people at home also dried a
few pounds of both sheep and bear
meat according to Or. Hornaday's rec

WEBS IN THE GRASS.

This morning while | was walking
In the field saw in the grass the tents
Of a bold robber band.
| thought heard Mrs. Fly say as
she flew by me; There are those spi
der webs stretched out on the grass
Well, the spiders won't catch me this
time. 1t was very kind Of Fairy Dew
drop to sprinkle the webs with drops
Of water SO that we may see them and
keep out Of trouble"
But as It got warmer the drops were
drunk up by the hot sun and went sail.
Ing up into the sky to make clouds.
Then unless you had sharp eyes and
looked closely you could not see the
lacey tents, which were, after all, traps
in which the sly spider hoped to catch
dinner, breakfast and tea.
One spider caught little brown
skipper butterfly. As soon as he felt
the web shake from the struggles OF
the insect up he darted through his
funnel shaped stairway and pounced
upon the butterfly
Once big brown wasp came buzzing
across the garden and In flying too
near the ground struck spiders web.
The minute the spider saw what he
had caught he was SO frightened he
was most ready to run downstairs
again, but he feared for his precious
web 1t had taken a whole hour to
spin 1t.
So the spider hurried to the edge of
the web and began cutting away the
threads that held the prisoner
In minute the wasp was free and
dropped to the grass. Soon he was
able to fly away, and then the spider
came out of his hole and mended the
broken web.
But the little dewdrops that had gone
up to the sky and Joined the nice big
clouds must have told tales, for after
awhile the clouds rolled over the sky
till the sun was hidden, and host of
big raindrops came pattering to the
ground.
They battered at the spider webs till
they were torn to bits, and the spiders
crawled away into holes under stones
or in the ground, waiting for the rain
to stop.
And of course there was no supper
for the spiders and no breakfast the
next day, for it kept right on raining.
But as tomorrow promises to be
sunshiny day perhaps you may notice
whether they have set their traps again
in the grass.

In localities where weevils and grain

One-half pint is sufficient for box

THE FOOD QUESTION.


The paragraphs here given are from
portions Of an open letter to Premier
Lloyd-George, written by Mr.. Arthur
Nee, leader in the strength Of Brit
aim movement. The subject matter Is
pertinent to any warning nation which
permits the sale, manufacture, impor-
tation or expectation Of Intoxlcants:
ut Is only the food question that
trembles In the balance" says our
minister of agriculture. "Once we de-
eide that in our favor peace win be
nearer" Then what infamous treach-
cry is It that turns this vital scale
against us? We want 100000 loaves
a day, and brewers destroy 100000 OF
them. If waste Is a crime, who is the
criminal here?
"You stopped the import OF rum
because we have enough to last for
years. but ship that might have
brought in 100000 loaves has just
brought in 10000 gallons Of rum for
1920.
"A ship from great wheat country
has lately arrived with space crammed
with brewers watts.
"Bread costs life, you tell us; but
you have allowed the brewers to Inn
port, at the risk Of life, grain for
$4,000 loaves every day since you came
into power to destroy it for beer, and
export the beer at the risk of life.
ut is not safe to imperil the health
of our poor, while brewers grow rich
by destroying bread. It is not safe to
let poor people wait in queues for
sugar while carloads pour into
brewers Instructors. You think 1t is
not safe to deal with drink; but is 1t
safe to fool with food?
"You talk of the workman, but have
you asked him to give up his beer
that we may have more to eat? You
have not. You asked for his son and
he gave him, and he will give you his
beer If yon ask. Our workmen are
not Germans that they should drink
us into famine, but they 80 on because
they think you will say the word, as
you have always done, when the vital
moment comes"

PORT OF ROME TO BE REBORN

Coal After Sleep Of Nearly
Yen Centuries.

Rome.-After a sleep Of nearly ten
centuries, Ostia. the ancient port of
Rome, will now be reconstructed to
supply Rome with cereals, coal and
other necessaries. Under the Caesars,
in the most glorious period Of the
Roman port, especially for the land
ing and storage of free grain, which
the emperors had to give the Romans
If they would keep them In good
temper. Little by little the Tlber filled
up the port with mud, and under the
troubles of barbarian invasion Ostla
became wholly deserted. Many times
the Romans have desired to rebuild
the port and facilitate food supply,
but 1t costs money, and jealous Ma
pies, whose port now supplies Rome,
raised great objections. The COM
mune Of Rome has, however, gained
victory, and the governor has sane
toned the rebirth of one Of the Oldest
ports In the world.

experience with young men in the

get into" Thus spake Col. w, J. Mich
olson, cOmmandant at Fort Sheridan,
III. "When a young fellow with $40 In
his pocket comes into city for the
FIRST time he thinks he has to blow it
In to be man. And when he gets
three or four drinks his whole view
point changes. My business is train
ing men for the United States army,
and in all the time l have been en-
gagged in this work I have known OF
very few cases where liquor did not
play an important part in causing the
misdeeds for which men are disci-
plined. A soldier who gets drunk is
only 40 per cent efficient and men Of
that type are not the ones this coun-
try is looking for to defend it."

despite all the painstaking negative

MULES OF SOUTH.

No one knows when the gen
tie, dreamy-eyed mule broke
into history, says writer In
Globe-Democrat. But he edged
or kicked his way i'm somehow
or other, has held his place for
some years, and one Of the latest
chapters In which he figured
was the torpedoing Of the Ar
menlan.
He is distinctly an American
product. There are mules
abroad, but they are not real
mules. The climate Of the South
ern states and the southern por-
ton Of the Central states is re-
qulred to bring the mule to his
full development.
The southern planter depends
almost altogether on Missouri
for hts mules. Roughly speak
ing, mules are divided into
classes, the cotton and the sugar
rsale. The latter is the better
grade, the huge, well-bullt ami
mails which are used on the su-
gar plantations of the far South,
while the cotton mule Is smaller
andbetter adapted for use In the
cotton fields.

tence like Nicholas Romanoff. He Is
a soldier and a real one.
But Alfonso might bow to reason,
where force would not avail. In a
light moment he offered once to run
as candidate for SPANS first president
should the people desire republic.
Yet SPANS troubles are too deep
seated and to involved to be cast OFF
with a change Of constitution. What
would help her most is the ending Of
the great war. If the war goes on
SPANS woes appear certain to In
crease.

PASTURE CUTS COST or FEED
From 20 to 40 Per Cent Less Grain ia
Required to Produce Given
Amount Of Pork.

The University of Missouri college
Of agriculture has shown 20 to 40 per
cent less grain is required to produce
a given amount of pork when good
pasture crops are supplied throughout
the season. TO effect this saving,
however, 1t is necessary to limit the
amount of grain which is fed to hogs
on pasture so that at the end Of the
grazing season the hogs win not be
fat.
They should be well-grown, have
large frames and be thin so that they
will profltably hog down the corn nee
essary to finish them for market.

PURCHASE CLOVER SEED NOW
Ordering Early VIII Allow for Delays
In Shipments, Miscarriage Of
Freight, Etc.
tcIemson college Bulletln.l

There is q saying that in midsum
mer clover prices go up when UNI
brellas do; meaning that too much
rain is unfavorable to the seed crop.
It browns the seed. However, true
it is, conditions in clover districts at
present don't indicate that now would
be a bad time to buy seed; and, seed
may advance In price at any time.
Another reason for buying seed now Is
that ordering early will allow for de-
lays in shipment, miscarriages of
freight, etc, and will also give time
for termination test Of the seed to
be made before planting.
