CAN POULTRY YOU
GULL FROM FLOCKS

East Lansing, Mich, Oct. MANY
Michigan housewives are making .
double saving this fall by culling the
non-producers from their poultry
flocks and then canning the discarded
birds for winter meat supply.
Home canning of poultry is entire
ly practical and is being practiced
more and more by farm women of the
State. BY putting up their own chick
ems these women are assured sup
ply of meat which has been raised in
the proper way and canned under san
itary conditions. They avoid the dan
ger of getting ahold of very old birds
on the markets, or of birds that have
been killed too long or kept under
unsanitary conditions.
Canning of poultry is not radically
different from the canning of fruits
or vegetables, the same general prin-
cipals being followed. Among the
general rules, however, are these:
birds should be killed and dressed the
same day of canning; they should be
singed, washed, cut up, and cooled, as
for table use; new rubbers should al
ways be used; covers should be fit
ted and tested; the time Of steriliza-
ton is important and should not be
shortened minute (count time after
water around the cans begin to boil
The length of sterilization varies from
f-2 to hours according the the
method used.
Detailed information on canning
poultry may be had by writing to the
Home Demonstration Agent, Extern
sion Division, M. A. c., East Lansing,
Mich. a-.s.

After hearing all of the testimony
Probate Judge Bush admitted to pro-
bate the will of the late Mrs. Mary
McClintock of Laingsburg, leaving
her estate of $1,000 to Miss Nellie X.
Phillips Of Detroit.
The court held, however that this
action did not prevent Mrs. Alta Ell
colt of California, from coming into
court and making showing in sup
port of her claims that she was named
in Mrs. McClintock's will. Mrs. Nc
Clintock died without heirs and in
case the will cannot be established,
her estate amounting to about 81 200
would escheat to the state. Deputy
Attorney General Moshier represent

Clintock was burned to death and the
will was burned when her home was

SECRETARY GLASS URGES
100000 PUPILS TO SAVE

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass has sent out an appeal to the
100000 school boys and girls OF
the country, urging them to continue
the habit of earning and saving mon
ey and investing it in Government Sc
curities. In addressing them as the
producers, consumers and home max
ers of the future, the Secretary of the
Treasury praises the wonderful work
the school children of America did
during the world war in production of
needed materials, saving of food and
money and investment in War Saw
ings stamps and other Government Sc
curities. The text of the appeal is as
follows:
"In addressing the twenty million
or more school boys and girls of this
country, I am addressing the citizen
ship-the business and professional
men and women, the producers and
consumers and the home makers of
only few years hence. The respon-
sibility of all the problems of our
country will ultimately fall upon you
The spirit of patriotism and helpful
ness which you displayed during the
world war has proved your fitness for
your future responsibility. Your rec
ord in production of needed materials
during the war, your saving of food
and money, and your investment in
Government securities is record of
which every American citizen is justly
proud.
ct is the earnest desire of your
Government that you should continue
to practice and make permanent those
same habits of industry and economy
that through your influence and ex-
ample America may soon become q
Nation of savers and cease to be q
wasteful Nation; that this may be a
Nation of people who always save
some part of their earnings, who
spend money with greatest care, and
who invest what they save in some
safe place.
81 am glad to see that our school
boys and girls have continued during
money and are buying Thrift and War
Savings Stamps, thus laying aside 9
portion of the money they earn fol-
some future purpose, and while they
are continuing to render some service
to their Government, they are at the
same time providing for their owr
needs.
"The habit of earning and saving
money is most interesting and hap.
Ply one. / am sure that this habit has
become so fascinating to you that you
will continue to earn and to save
through all the months and years to
come and keep investing what you
save in Government securities.
at is my personal hope that the
lessons Of thrift that are being taught
in your school may help you to devel.
op in your life permanent habits OF
saving and thereby lay foundation
for your personal happiness and use.
/ fitness and ultimately for bigger
and better America.

hold up if it does not have proper
support from within, and this is why
l am emphasizing that both the casing
and the tube are responsible for the
mileage you get out of your tires-in
fact, the casing and the tube are the
tire.
But is not enough that you have a
tube in your casing. You must have
a good tube. 1t must hold air and
Keep on holding air. A poor tube,
one that leaks just little, may easily
destroy casing. Two or three dol
lars may be saved in buying a tube
that may take $50 worth of mileage
out of the casing A cheap tube
always makes an expensive casing
ICftentimes motorist would actually
save money if he would throw his
leaky tubes away.
Even if tube leaks Just little
it permits the sidewalks of the casing
to bend back and forth excessively
and the heat so created burns the life
out of the rubber and the casing is
soon ruined.
AS manufacturers of tires we are
willing that all Goodyear tires be
judged by our heavy tourist tubes.
Our tubes are Illuminated. that is. they
are built up layer on layer. First we
roll the rubber into thin sheets which
are then wrapped together and vul-
canized into one. The advantage in
this method is that any flaws in the
rubber may be more easily detected
and the faulty sheets discarded. In
tubes built of one piece of rubber
these defects cannot be detected
Most tubes are squeezed out of a
machine and, of course, they are more
easily made and therefore cheaper.
Flaws, sharp sand grains, pin holes or
dangerous air pockets may go nearly
all the way through the tube and not
be seen. Such a tube may look good
from the outside, but we know that
our heavy tourist tubes are good all
the way through.
Nowhere is good tube appre-
ciated more than on race track. The
racing drivers, such as De Palma, the
Chevrolet brothers. Vail, Sarles, Mil
ton, Boyer, Durant, Hearne, Cooper,
Wilcox and others, who use Goodyear
cord castings on their racing cars, pay
particular attention to their tubes and
insist that Goodyear tubes be used
with their castings. No racing driver
ever uses a repaired casing or tube
They will risk their lives only on the
best that can be had.
| No users of tires are better quail
| fed to judge them than are these big
men of the speedways. With them q
tire is a casing and tube and both
must be as nearly perfect as good ma
terials and skilled workmanship car
make them"

JOSEPHUS DANIELS HAT
ESCAPES OLYMPIA LADY
Methodist Preachers Wife on Visit to
Seattle Nearly Squashed Ii, but
Receives Thanks.

Mrs. John H. Secor received the
thanks of Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels two weeks ago, but
she came very near having trouble
instead.
1t seems that the secretary was to
speak at the First Methodist church
in Seattle, and Mrs. Secor, who had
gone with her husband TO attend the
conference, reached the church a
little late and alone. Slipping into
the only vacant pew she saw in the
back of the large auditorium, she
prepared to settle herself com sort-
ably when she discovered that in the
semi-darkness she was about to sit
down upon tall, shiny silk hat,
Hastily arising, she noticed an over
coat beside the hat The only thing
to do was to pile the hat on the coat
and occupy the seat thus left vacant.
and Mrs. Secor did it.
At the conclusion of the secretary
speech he came to the rear of the
church to claim his possessions, ant.
Mrs. Secor received his warm thanks
for guarding them. But she still
trembles to think how close she came
to reducing the secretarial headpiece
to ruins.
