BRADLEY j. SAUNDERS,
THE TRUCK MAN,

this year 1t is purely matter of math-
ematical calculation and common sense
that will prompt these purchases.
Mr.. Saunders comes to Birmingham as
manager of this branch of the Warner
Sales company, Incorporated, and has
his headquarters at 209-11 Twenty first
street. south.
He has been identified with the motor
trade of Alabama and the United States
for many years past and knows the
business from every angle, besides be-
ing we'll acquainted among the buyers
and the men in the business.
The Selden truck enjoys a great share
Of popularity in Birmingham and vicinity
and it is stated that it is being manufac-
tured by the holders of the original Sell
den patents, for the use of which all
automobiles had to pay high royalty
for many years
The sales during the past two days
have been exceptionally good, he also
said and with the return of warm
weather and the still overwhelmed con-
dition of the railroads, it is expected to
get much better still.

Bradley ]. Saunders, THE Truck Man"
has at last arrived in Birmingham and
will soon have his six carloads of brand
new Seldom trucks Jefferson county
soil all ready for delivery-to the fellows
who have figured on getting up early
rather than to miss the worm" drive.
Il have found conditions all over the
south to be very much alive on the truck
proposition. The truck is an asset rather
than liability and will give greater re-
turns on the dollar than any investment
that can be made at the present time,
when man needs it-and there are very
few that are going to buy truck and
not need it in their business.
"The farmers and merchants of the
south need the motor truck worse than
the motor truck needs them. Their pro-
duce is worth more than ever before.
their living expenses are not Increased
in proportion to the increase in returns
from crops and consequently the south

'STEARNS PLANT PAID
"A HIGH COMPL |MENT

About the highest compliment that
could be paid an american automobile
plant was the recent closing of con-
tract between the Rolls-IoSce company
of England and the f. 3, Stearns com
pany of Cleveland, whereby the latter
concern will make Rolls-Royce airplane

The excellence of the mechanical
construction, particularly the motor, of
the Rolls-Royce automobile has long
been recognized both abroad and in
this country.
Shortly after Great Britain entered
the war, the big plant of the Rolls
Royce company was Communicated
and it's engineers and highly trained
mechanics turned to making airplane
engines.

These are the motors which have

Statements That May Be Investigated
Testimony of Glenwood Springs
Citizens

When Glenwood Springs citizen
comes to the front, telling his friends
and neighbors of his experience, you
can rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people residing in far away
places do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is statement
of a Glenwood Springs resident. No
stronger proof of merit can be had.
Jerry O'Shea, shoemaker, ia Coop

to trouble me and my back was sore.

DESIGNS RECORD BOOK
FOR COLORADO FARMERS

The farm management demonstrator
for Colorado has just completed the
preparation of farm record book for
use by farmers in the state.
This record book is made on the
loose leaf style and, therefore, is more
flexible than the ordinary book. 1t can
be made to suit the needs of any farm
er regardless of how simple or complex
system he may wish to keep. If a
farmer wants only to take an inventory
and keep his receipts and expenses, this
book is sufficient; while on the other
hand, if he wishes to do st-of pro.
duction work on any crops or livestock
this book provides for such records.
There are also blanks for recording
household and personal expenses, egg
production, products furnished by the
farm and other items if they are de-
sired
1t is almost necessity now that
farmers keep records in order to be
the income tax collector. By the use
of an inventory and a record of all
farm receipts and expenses an accurate
and sensible means of reporting the
farm income is provided. 1t will be to
the farmers advantage to keep rec
ord because it is much harder to esti-
mate the farm expenses at the end of
the year than it is the farm receipts.
The expenses are likely to be under
estimated.
A special blank will be furnished
with each record book which will make
it easy for tie farmer to report his
IN come.
These books are sold to Colorado
farmers for twenty-five cents each
which is less than their cost. Any
farmer wishing one of these books can
obtain it from his county agricultural
agent. If there is no such agent in his
county a book can be obtained by
writing to w. E. Foard, Extension Ser
vice, Agricultural College, Fort Collins
Colorado. There is still time to start a
record for this year.

FARM HORSE NEEDS
CONDITIONING IN SPRING

After a winter of comparative Idle
hess. the farm horse should be condi-
toned for heavy spring work, just as
the athlete must undergo a period Of
training for his duties on the track or
field The conditioning involves lin
tied amount of work in the harness as
well as more careful regulation Of
the ration. Draft work brings into play
different muscles than were exercised
in the pasture or lot and when horses
are put to work abruptly without cara
full seasoning they not only suffer from
muscular soreness, but are lacking n
wind and stamina. Young horses, es-
pecially, should be brought into active
service very gradually.-R. F. Bourne,
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins.

A PLEA FOR THE FISH

: When removing an undersized trout
from your hook, always moisten your
hands before grasping the fish; other
wise the dry hand will remove the slime
from the back of the trout, when it is
only a question of time until fungus
sets in and the fish will die.
Always kill your fish that are large
enough to keep as soon as taken from
the hook. This can be done by giving
it stroke on the head, back of the
ewes. 1t will avoid all suffering, and
make your fish far better for table use
The American Fisheries society mt
Washington, D. G., September 2l-24
1908, recommended that the various
state commissions educate the people by
every means in their power to follow
tho directions given about wetting the
hands.
Endorsed by twenty eight fish and
game commissioners throughout the

"YAMPA' PROPER NAME FOR
MS-CALLED BEAR RIVET

Some people still persist in calling
the principal water course of north
western Colorado :Bear' river, al
though by every argument it is prop
erly named the "Yampa." There are
Bear rivers in practically every west
ern state, and from one to half dozen
Bear creeks in nearly every county.
This beautiful stream, which with its
tributaries waters Routt and Moffat
counties, should always be referred to
as the Yampa, distinctive name which
has real meaning, given it long before
the coming of the white man. The In
dians called it the Yampa because it
was near the banks of this river that
there was the most abundant supply
OF the yampa, an important item in
their food supply. The yampa is a
small tuber which was gathered in the
fall and dried for winter use, and it
still is to be found in the vicinity OF
Steamboat Springs. 1t is undoubtedly
related to and derived its name from
the same source as the yam, the wild
sweet potato of the West Indies and
the southern part of the United States

THE GRIZZLY PASSED ON

"While camped at $500 feet altitude
near the head of FNawn creek in the
Gallatin range in the northwestern part
of the Yellowstone National park,'
writes Vernon Bailey, chief field nat
uralist of the U. S. biological survey
in book soon to be issued by the
national park service, 81 could make
out with field glass elk herds on the
high ridges south, west and north Of
camp. By climbing cautiously, so as
not disturb the elk, up to 10000 feet
on Quadrant mountain south of camp
I was soon in the midst of one of their
choice summer ranges.
"Small herds and scattered individ
uals were seen over the big, open slopes
above timber line; punches of old bulls
with full grown velvety horns lying on
top of the ridges where the wind was
strongest and insects least troublesome;
calves and yearlings playing over great
snow banks on the cold slopes; and
cows peacefully lying in meadows Of
rich, short grass and clover. Little
streams and pools Of ice-cold water
were everywhere and the elk were a
picture Of contentment and satisfaction
with their ideal summer home.
"After watching them for about an
hour large grizzly bear that had been
digging mice on a neighboring slope
was seen walking across toward the
elk. As he came in view their heads
went up and the herds near me gath
cred into one dense mass of about 500,
old and young, while the bear walked
past and close in front Of them and on
over the ridge, scarcely turning his
head to notice them. The herd was q
beautiful sight, 25 or 80 old bulls with
sets of large horns towering above the
numerous small sets, while the front
ranks were mainly filled with anxious
COWS ready to give battle for the pro-
lection Of their young. When the bear
had disappeared they quietly dispersed
to their grazing and seemed very lit

LIMIT GRAIN FED
TO GROWING PIGS

There has been much advocacy of
self feeders for use for growing pigs.
We may grant that a self-feeder kept
filled with grain and set in a good
alfalfa pasture will keep pigs growing
at maximum, but we have this prob
lem to face during war time: All
grains that can be milled for human
food furnish more food energy when
consumed direct as cereals that when
transformed into the meat of animals,
and thus used for human food. We
must have meat, of course, and we are
advocating the increase of most meat
animals, but this increase should be
gotten by growth of forage crops to as
great an extent as possible.
Growing ligs should be fed limited
quantities of grain, preferably about
one per cent of their live weight per
day. If allowed to 60 to a self-feeder
they will consume two or three per cent
of their weight in grain each day.
Pigs grown on limited grain ration
viii Lot weigh as much at given age,
but mndcr present conditions they will
be more profitable in the end, and their
grower will have effected a saving in
cereals for human consumption.-G. f.

WHEN THE DOG GOES TO WAR

Official French statistics on the use
of war dogs in the allied armies are
published for the first time in this
country in an interesting article in the
April issue of the National Humane
Review by Sydney H. Coleman, man
aging editor. Much of the material
has been taken from a communication
from the French minister of war who
recently wrote DR.. William o. Stillmar,
director general of the American Red
Star Animal Relief, and president of
the American Humane association, sug-
gesting that the Red Star collect
large number of suitable animals for
use in the French army. The American
army is the only one in the European
war which is not using dogs in some
manner
The classifications of various SER
vices in which the dogs are employed is
of the greatest interest, as outlined to
the American Red Star Animal Relief
by the French minister of war.
First-As assistants to sentinels, in
the listening points, in detecting en-
emy patrols.
Second-As patrol dogs, reconnoiter-
ing for small detachments, attacking
and holding an enemy on the order of
their leaders.
Third-As courier and dispatch dogs
for carrying messages, in saving the
scouts the fatigue and very great dan
gers of going and coming between the
posts of command on the first line in
the sectors bombarded or shelled by
the machine guns.
Fourth-As draft dogs; two divisions
of Alaskan dogs and their sledges in
sure in winter the supplying of pro-
visions and military stores and the
| carrying of the wounded in the Vosges.
In summer these animals are harnessed
to wsgonettes on narrow gauge tracks.
Fifth As guard dogs in the store
houses and factories-whether they are
trained to attack marauders or to
guard a court. The guard system has
permitted the reduction of the numbe,
of sentinels.
Sixth-As ratters, for the destruction
Of the vermin in the trenches, canton
ments and storehouses.
It will probably surprise many that
dogs can be employed in so many diff,
ferent ways. Much, however, depends
upon the man to whom they are as
signed. A very good dog can be spoiled
in q very few days by poor handler
The letter from the French minister
Of war throws much light on Their
training and use, and the extracts quot
ed from it point out how important the
canine service really is. It would seem
that similar branch of service could
be utilized equally as well by the
American army. Will not the enlist
ment Of the dog be the next step II
making our war machinery complete
fighting uniti The American Red Sta,
stands ready to do its share in provid
ing dogs and training them for this
service.
