". M. [. A. 10 TEACH
 KIDS HOW ID SWIM
Special Swimming Instruc- tor to Start Classes Next
 Monday Morning


 The boys department of. the Y. M. c, A proposes to give all boys of Bir- mingham between the ages of 9 and Is who cannot swim, i've swimming lessons. A charge of 25 cents will be made for reg istration, towels and soap for the entire campaign. Lessons will begin Monday, June 3. and end Friday, June 7 and the time will be from to Ii o'clock in the morning.
 ". w. Abell, boys physical director and special swimming instructor, will teach all the boys He is the most capa- ble swimming instructor in the south, and the Birmingham boys are fortunate in learning under his expert supervision. Parents of boys ought to feel perfectly safe in letting their boys learn this mo important art for they are taught in water only three feet deep, and only on the last day are they put into water over their heads, and then with very careful supervision.
 Last year 210 boys were taught to sw out of 250 registering, and this year there will be at least 5e0 boys tryins to learn the art. They will not only get the swimming instruction during the campaign but will also take part in the various athletic games in the gymnasium. Any boy between the ages of and IS is eligible whether a member of the Y. M. C. A. boys department or not. Application cards may be secured from the Y M. C. A. on June at a. m. z The boys will not need any gymnasium suits and the towels and soap will be furnished free of charge.

 The Pall Mall Gazette says: Tt is reported that one of the shells fired by the German long range guns yesterday fell on church in the Paris district This is another illustration of Germany's contempt for her most sa- cred engagements"
 The Star says:
 "In Germany yesterday the festival of Corpus Christi was celebrated with out disturbance. Although weather con- ditions were suitable there were no al- lied aerial attacks in any Rhine towns. The promise of the British government was kept.
 'In Paris the festival of Corpus Christi was celebrated under a bom- bardment of German long-range guns.

would wander from the tractor putting
along hour after hour, to his barn
where his horses were munching away
hour after hour. Whether or not his
horses worked. they ate, but when the
tractor stopped working it stopped
eating.
The Fordson worked better and
faster than his horses could work even
in cool weather, and it worked more.
He saw neighbor Sutton pillow and disL
a piece in one afternoon that would
have taken him three days with four
horses.
Roer took his time in making up
his mind whether or not tractor
would give him better results than
horses, but when he decided in favor
of the tractor, he found to his dismay
that he would probably have to wait
six months for delivery. 1t shows the
mans tenacity of purpose and faith
in his judgment when he was content
to wait this length of time. for he
could have secured delivery of dozens
of tractors of other makes. Roer now
owns Fordson. and with a smile he'll
tell you he is glad he waited.

Ed. Rudolph states that whereas au-

Rarageman or dealer who sold them d
Il car. to look after the important parts,
.... g.. res. as a rule is quite handy
with machines himself. He is not
afraid TO tighten up a nut or TO ad-
just Il bearing or pack a stuffing box
FOR the pump, or do some other odd
Jobs of adjustment and repairs. He has
handled machinery more or less all his
life and while he generally works in
uveralls, he does not hesitate TO get d
little grease on his fingers or hts
shirt when he believes something needs
to be done to the machine to save
damaging some part
Rudolph intends putting into the sale
OF Fordsons the same elemnt OF ser
vice that he has put into the Ford
car. but farmer should not conclude
that it frequently requires an aotomo-
bile expert or motor expert to keep
a Fordson tractor going. Tho farmer
usually repairs his own Ford and Ru
dolph believes that ninety per cent OF
whatever may happen to a FOrdson
can also DC repaired by a farmer. Most
farmers expect expert help only in
