Unfortunately, just as the meeting
started, terrific storm arose and the
subsequent cloudburst flooded the
country, Coal Greek, where the baptiz-
ing was to take place, being particu-
larly swollen. This situation made
the baptizing somewhat dangerous,
but the authorities agreed that it was
their only chance to get Heber, so,
after church, with the repentant sin
ner in tow, and armed with lanterns,
they filed down to the creek for the
baptizing.
Stories differ as to how Heber, just
as he was being immersed, escaped
the officiating pastors hands, some
saying he wriggled out and others
maintaining that he slipped, but any
how, he disappeared in the darkness
Daylight found him perched in
sycamore tree, a mile down the creek,
in the center Of whirlpool that was
worth mans life to attempt to in
wade. Hence, we had to leave him up
the tree for three days until the water
receded.

Proper Care and Appearance

FAILURE TO WASH PROPERLY
varnish OF New Car Is Hardened and
Benefited by Frequent Washing
With Clear Cool Water
Garage Gases Harmful.

You can abuse the engine pretty con-
sistently before 1t begins to complain.
You can abuse the finish once or twice,
and then you have no finish to abuse.
The appearance of the car and the ap-
pearance of the finish are one and the
same thing, and appearance goes
long way toward determining the value
Of house, a horse or an automobile.
The lack Of washing and failure to
wash properly will do more toward
running the appearance Of the car than
any other thing. The varnish of the
new car Is hardened and benefited by
frequent washing with clear cool wa
ter. Mud. allowed to dry or freeze on
the car. takes up all the oil from the
varnish and leaves the finish streaked
and spotted. .
Dirt is not the only enemy, for
garage gases and even theatmosphere
Of some cities attacks the finish Of the
car which is not frequently washed.
Examine Other Fellows Car.
Before you turn your car over to
garage for regular washing, examine
the other fellows car, and see what
they are doing to it, and once you find
a man who knows how to care for the
car properly let him wash it every time
1t needs it. A single washing, done
carelessly, will destroy the luster that
careful washing has preserved for
months. \
Start in by cleaning the top. Give
1t good stiff brushing to remove the
loose dust and then either sponge it or
use soft brush with clear tepid water
and CASTLE soap.
Go over the leather upholstery with
woolen cloth dipped in clear water
to which has been added few drops
Of ammonia. If the upholstery Is Of
cloth 1t can best be cleaned by spong-
ing with water containing little salt
and alcohol. ..
Now you are ready to use the hose.
Be sure to remove the nozzle and flow
the water over every part Of the body.
This serves to wash off as much Of the
dust as Is possible and to loosen the
mud, or ice, or snow, SO that with
little patience 1t can be fioated off. In
cases where the car is exceptionally
dirty it is we'll to let 1t stand Is min
utes and then shower 1t again.
Take soft, clean sponge and, fol-
lowing 1t with gentle stream from
the hose. 60 lightly over the body.
Special Brushes Needed.
Grease and road oil collect on the
chassis and their removal requires
more vigorous treatment and separate
tools. Special brushes will greatly ia
cilitate work In inaccessible corners.
The caustic action of an alkali soap Is
necessary for the removal of grease on
the chassis, but even when used here
1t is advisable to employ 1t in the form
Of soap solution made by dissOlving
a pound Of soap In a gallon Of warm
water.
The soap Is, Of course, rinsed off,
and hard stream may be used in the
chassis to advantage. but it should not

him from the cold weather, or from
being sunburnt in the hot sun.
So a warm house Is needed in the
winter, especially for the brood sows,
and shade must be provided for sum-
mer.
Moreover, 1t Is recognized that the
best way to keep swine healthy and
guard against the ravages Of disease
is to provide sanitary cOnditions-a
hog house that Is well lighted and vent
tilated and with a smooth, impervious
floor that can be easily cleaned.
These considerations, plus that OF
the labor that Is saved In feeding and
caring for hogs in well-planned build
ing, have made country builders pay a
good deal Of attention to this class OF
work, and farmers are more and more
putting up big modern hog houses.
Advantages Are Numerous.
The advantages Of the community
house as compared with the movable
are numerous. The time and labor
required are less because:
(1) Facilities for warming, feed
ing, watering, dipping, ringing, cas-
trating, marking, breeding, weighing
and administering medicines are more
convenient because they are under one
roof.
(2) The Stunning" Of the quarters,
especially during the season Of early

type of construction permits Of this
with comparative ease and safety. At
best 1t Is more difficult, because Of the
extra manipulation Of doors and win
dOws, to flood the small house with as
much light in proportion to the inte-
rior as In the more ideal community
type exemplified in the accompanying
design.
These plans show community hog
house containing IL pens and large
feed room. 1t Is of the balf-monitOr
or saw-tooth roof type to face south.

two concrete yards inclosed with mon.

for it was practically impossible to
trail his friends, his prey or his enc
mics through the trees, because they
left no such scent on the limbs as
they did upon the ground. Hearing
and seeing became more important
and were sharpened to take the place
Of the dying olfactory talents. Doctor
Jones says that despite the poor con-
dition Of our noses as gatherers of in

Dudley Kidd has noted this feature
in investigating the psychology of Ka-
fir children. When Kafirs are ques-
toned as to their earliest remembered
impressions they usually state that
these were connected with the senses
Of taste and smell. The next things
they remember are connected with the
sense of color; then impressions OF

AUTOMOBILE DON'TS

Don't put oil In the engine
without first making sure that 1t
Is free from dirt and lint.
Don't race the engine when It
is not drawing the car. There
Is no worse abuse.
Don't neglect to keep the radi-
ator filed with water. Also use
a good anti-freeze solution in
cold weather.
Don't fail to inspect the level
Of liquid in the storage battery
every two weeks.
Don't drive with your feet on
the clutch or brake pedals.
Don't let your car stand with
headlights full on. It Is unnec-
sary and 1t runs your battery
down.
Don't drive fast on slippery
streets.
Don't drive with fully retard-
ed spark.
Don't start motor with wide
open throttle or advanced spark.
Don't neglect the fabrication
Of your car.

If you want to make money on hogs
you must give them proper place to
live in. The best profits are made
only when dry, sanitary, comfortable
and convenient hog house Is provided.

not need to be protected from the
