Back in grandfather's day they had a stock of hogs they called razor backs" At three or four years old some of them would weigh as much as seventy five pounds, and they would shed all kinds of germs, even to a star back tick. If our editor had some of those hams he would shed any germ that came in the nearby neighborhood of his vicinity" (My dear sir, this editor was raised up on SOW belly" cut from the genywine Arkansas razor back, and have been immune from about all ketchin ailments. but we didn't know them darned hogs had hams. but since you told us about it We do remember seein the preachers who eat at our house eatin somethin that made mighty good brown gravy. On rare occasions, when there were just three or four preachers there'd be some of the gravy left for the second table. and we'd be lucy enough to get to the sec ond table and git a helpin of that gravy, and. believe me, if you say them hams were any better than that brown gravy. we'll have 1t in for Methodist preachers forever. But you 've got us agin. We didn't know it was razor back meat that kep us from kethin ailments, granny told us 1t wuz the assafittity We wore round our neck and the sulfur in our shoes. Gee! we can smell that assafittity yet, and don't believe any raised germ would tarry long in it's vicinity. Ed.

New Use For
 Old Newspapers

A resourceful motorist whose car has been stuck in the mud does not always have to fall back on a pair of mules to get free For such an emergency the Un' ited States Tire Company offers some suggestions that have prov ed valuable.
 The first calls for having stored away somewhere in the car a stack of old newspapers. When the car gets stuck and the wheels refuse to take hold. feed in some of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Usually only a few will have to be worked in before the wheels will begin to grip and the car start forward. This method of handling 2 difficult situation is so simple and SO uniformly suc- sessful, that every motorist should know of it and carry . pile of old newspapers. unless he is equipped with some other apparatus for such . contingency
 Here is the other method sug- gestedp by the United States Tire Company: Put the car in low, and if you cannot feed the gas with your foot evenly. so that the wheels will revOlve slowly. put your emergency brake on. Do not put it on so that the wheel will not revolve at all, but tightly enough to keep them from revolving rapidly. With the wheels turning :slowly the maximum pull is delivered to them by having the car in low gear. and so long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous pow CT.
 It is not always wise to fill the hole with stones or bricks, their rough edges are hard on tires. Small branches of trees are better, as they offer much better tractive space.
 Should this method fail. quite often a slight push that would not much more than move . baby buggy will furnish just the added amount of power nec- essary to get the car going. V
