F. F.. Short, Chandler representative, will be the guest of Paul Crawford. local Chandler dealer, during the au- tomobile show. MT. Short says the show in Atlanta was big success and he believes the Birmingham show will look better by comparison
 ''The Chandler booth was one Of the big features of attraction in the Atlanta show said Mir. Short "Espe- cially featured was the four pa ssenger roadster This was one of the biggest hits of the show. Made such a big hi>, in fact that it was hard to fill the orders taken"

In addition to other models Tn the Chandler exhibit at the automobile show will be the convertible sedan, which was one of the big hits at the sold for 60 days in advance.

PROUD OF SHOW
Forest Service Gathers Pine Seeds

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Gathering seed of various species of trees is an industry carried on in the great national forests of the west by the United States forest service. The seed lis used for reforestation on the govern ment reservations and is also sold to private persons for the same purpose.
 When gathered, the cones are closed and hard and contain much sap They are placed in bins under cover and allowed to dry out for a period of two months or more The opening process Is hastened by subjecting the cones to heat or about 100 degrees Fahrenheit for a period of from one to three days.
 The cones are placed in wire bottomed trays about two feet wide and three feet long, and the trays are stacked on racks in room where the drying causes the bracts or petal like parts of the cone to spread out, thereby releasing the seed In ordeo' to shake the seed from the cone churn like device is utilized. It consists of a box with ends of boards and sides of woven wire screen Through this passes wooden axle supportel by up- rights. By means of a handle at one end of the axle the churn is revolved rapidly the seeds are shaken from the cones and fall through the wire screen to a sheet underneath.

STATE DEALERS ID | HOLD CONVENTION DURING AUTO WEEK Visitors Will Be Guests at Banquet by Local AssOcia-
 ton Thursday Night TO BE GIVEN WARM WELCOME AT SHOW Red Smith Says They Are Proud of the Exhibit and Entertain
 ment That Has Been
 Arranged

Birmingham will be host
 this week to the State Auto
 mobile Dealers association.
 The dealers have selected
 this week as the time for
 holding their annual meet
 ing in Birmingham because
 they believe in the old adage
 of killing two birds with
 one sto-.e."
 By gathering here they will be af- forded not only the pleasure of meet ing other automobile dealers from all parts of the state, but will have the
 privilege of attending the big auto-
 mobile show which opens tomorrow afternoon.
 At recent meeting of the association held in Birmingham, it was decided to adjourn and meet here again during the automobile show. In keeping with such decision, Red Smith, president of the Bir-
 mingham association, and hIs associates have planned an interesting programme for the visiting dealers
 BANQUET THURSDAY NIGHT There will be an executive session or two, and business session or two, but the big feature of the meeting will be the banquet Thursday night at the Tutwiler. President Smith will preside as toastmas- ter, and all the visiting dealers will be guests. An informal programme will be
 given. with short speeches by prominent
 automobile men.
 Although the automobile show will
 claim much of the attention of the visiting
 dealers, they will devote some small DOT
 ton of their time to the transaction of
 business. They are going to take up the question of good roads, and will outline campaign for certain legislation which VII give to the state sufficient money to
 keep her roads in good shape and re- paired.
 Practically all of the dealers will re-
 main in Birmingham throughout the en- tire week. Many of them will come
 through the country in their cars. PROUD OF SHOW We Birmingham dealers say it, but We say 1t modestly,' said Red Smith. We are proud of the automobile exhibit we have to show our visiting dealers. We believe that the meeting in Birmingham will be one of the most beneficial ever held, and will result in great strides in
 the automobile industry in this state. We are going to get the state dealers here tomorrow, and we are going to keep
 them all the week if possible. Under no circumstances will we permit them to re- turn to their homes before Thursday night when the big banquet will take place un- less. of course. they go on parole with promise to return"

Surveys made by the extension depart ment of the state agricultural college show and alarming increase in tenant farming in Kansas since the bumper crops of recent years. The tenants now farm 40 per cent of the farms in the state. The cause for the rapid increase is placed on the big crops of recent years. The landowners have made enough from their farms to retire, but do not wish to sell their land because of the steadily mounting value of farm land The owners divide up their holdings and lease the tracts to tenants.

Eliminating the Waiter
he Popular Science Monthly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 A Detroit man, John F. Daschner, has a plan for eliminating the restaurant waiter and putting in his place some thing which doesn't talk, or hold out it's two hands for tips, or spill the soup. His invention is a dumb waiter in more than one sense. The system is said to embed the luxuries of a select dining room equipped with conveniently ar ranged tables and comfortable seating fa- cilites wherein patrons may dine with ease and privacy, receiving prompt, ef- ficient and sanitary service at reason able prices.
 While the system eliminates the waiter in the dining room it utilizes him as a serving department attendant, where his duties are less arduous and where he is not subjected to the whims and caprices of critical patrons. No money is wasted on walters uniforms or dress suits, nor is there any scurrying of walters.
 The table at which you sit is the top of an elevator shaft leading to the kitchen below. The elevator is operated by a ca ble passing over series of pulleys to a motor driven drum. Simply by manipu- lating push button in the table top the elevator 'descends to the kitchen, where it is loaded and sent up again. A tripping finger automatically arrests the elevator at the top or bottom of the shaft.
