the words federal" and secession

tne old Federal league that was SO
much unsettling the sport world.
During this period occurred the fracas
between sumner Of Massachusetts,
and Brooks Of south Carolina Even
the I-glr between that other Illus

YHAT does it mean when thirty cities
y report demands for more housing con-
struction and increased industrial
building! What does it mean when members Of
the National Association Of Builders Exchanges
promise to attempt to carry on building all winter
regardless of weather conditions?
It means that if demands and plans are carried
out, motor trucks must do their bit.
And motor truck users must know how big
BIT they can do when cold is extreme and going
is hard
Winter building has always been more or less
a gamble with the contractor. A man cannot
work system when the weather deals the cards.
In winters gone by, transportation has fallen
down first. Materials were delivered behind
schedule or not at all-expensive worEzmen were
forced to slow down-costs were increased &C.
cOrdingly.
Replacement of horses by motor trucks helped
to an extent. But reliable figures on winter motor
truck performance have been hard to obtain.
Consistent figures have been even harder.
Now the gamble is being taken out of winter
hauling by Packard transportation figures.
Records Of Packard trucks during last winter
and the winter before are available.

No More Guess and Gamble in Trucking Costs
Packard Figures Based Upon Seyerest Service

Many of these trucks did not lose nip or
minutes time during the winter.
Gasoline and oil consumption and repairs run
at the same low average that Packard owners
expect to find
Average loads were hauled, even where they
consisted Of cement or gravel or other materials
whose weight and bulk increased where wet or
frozen.
TraiIers ands special dumping and loading equip
ment were kept in use according to schedule.
Packard transportation figures and Packard
trucks necessarily go together.
For il is the extra margin, of strength and STAN.
ina that enables the Packard to meet the emer.
gency when It comes.
And it is that same margin-that extra factor
Of safety-which has kept Packard trucks In con.

Owners of mechanical amuse-

sion, which if only 5 cents

This ruling was received today
by T. J. Cavanaugh, deputy tax
collector, from the ONCE of the COL
lector at Peoria. Under the old law
such admissions were not taxable
but under the new law which went
into effect Feb. rs, the records

Especial to The Argus) i.

Aledo, ILL.,, May 2S.-Saturday,
Sept 20. viii be Sport day" Of the
Mercer county fair week. The an
nual event will begin Sept. 16.
All exhibits may be removed and
taken on the grounds at 4:30 on
Friday afternoon if desired, accord
ing to announcement made to an
Argus representative last evening
by G. G. Bowers, secretary of the
Mercer County Agricultural society.
This will enable many to arrive at
their homes before Sunday, which
would not be the case should ex-
hibits be forced to remain on the
grounds until after the races on
Saturday.
Bigger and Better Than Ever, +"
is the slogan of fair workers, this
spirit animating official hackers of
the annual event who predict a
county fair the peer of any of its
predecessors and one that can be
ranked without discredit with the
majority OF district and state fairs
throughout the country.
THAT is always the prediction"
said Secretary Bowers, in discuss
ing the coming festival last even
ing. However from knowledge OF
the facts and what we are doing,
want to say that it will be the
greatest fair Mercer county people
have ever had offered them. And
we have had some dandies. l feel
that l can honestly make this state
ment after considering arrange
ments in the unprejudiced, matter
of fact light in which patrons will
view them.
Mr.. Bowers also announced that
the frame building at present on the
fair grounds, used in the past as a
ticket office and residence, will be
removed. I'VE are planning a ser
viceable brick structure in its
stead" declared the secretary.
Some idea of the size and rank
ing Of the Mercer county fair can
be cleaned from study of statis-
tics corr piled and furnished by state
authorities. These show that last
year a total of 1855 entries were
listed in the Mercer county fair,
this number, with the exception of
that of Whiteside county, being the
largest in the state, and ranked
nearly as favorably in comparison
with district fair figures. In the
speed events alone last year there
were 1876 entries.
With the fair this fall surprising
that of last year, the four days be-
ginning Sept Is should indeed
prove gala ones of the highest or
der for Mercer county people.

ty agent states:
when wool is clipped. store it
in clean, dry place, and IL you
have no wool sacks, cover with
horse blankets to keep ort dirt and
chaff until you can pack it in bur-
lap sacks.
"If you have less than a dozer

two or three clean gunny sacks,
and pack as tight as you can your
entire consignment Of wool in one
package.
eff you have more than a dozen

BY means of the wool pool, as
proposed, wool growers will be
given the opportunity CT dealing
directly with the manufacturer of
wooden goods, thus eliminating tn ,

be. and making possible a higher
price for the sheepmen.
To handle the wool crop, the Ma

company has established a ware
house in Chicago, a depot to which
the Mercer county sheep raiser
may send his wool The concern

ly white. A few days before the exhi-
bition again examine your birds and
pluck the imperfect feathers. 1t is
quite a problem to determine the best
procedure when there is foreign color
in some of the large feathers on the
wings or tail.
Peroxide Blondes in Hen House.
Many exhibitors Of white fowls
bleach the plulnage of their birds with
peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia.
They mix in a china bowl solution
Of three parts of peroxide of hydrogen
and one part Of ammonia. A clean
muslin cloth is dipped in the solution
and the bird is wrapped in it. The mus
lin is next covered with oiled silk or
some waterproof cloth to confine the
fumes of the bleaching gas. The per-
oxide-ammonia solution can be sponged
on the plumage or sprayed with an at
omizer. The only advantage in wrap
ping the bird is to make the bleach
more effective.
The shanks and feet of exhibition
fowls must be absolutely clean and well
polished. To overcome rough scales
rub the legs twice daily with cloth
dipped in kerosene and short time
before the show wash them thoroughly.
Use good securing soap, wooden cloth,
and warm rain water. Remove any
old or rough scales, and also the dirt
between the scales. The latter can be
taken out with toothpicks. Dry the
shanks and apply a solution of equal
parts of sweet oil and alcohol. Then
warm a wooden cloth and scrape lit
tie beeswax on it. The warmth Will
melt the wax, and the shanks should
then be polished with the waxed cloth.
Cosmetics and cureaIls Of U0Iiness.
Before shipping the birds to the ex-
hibition apply the sweet oil and alco-
hol solution to the face and comb. II
you are showing white birds, fill their
plumage after washing and when thor
oughly dry with equal parts Of bran
and rice flour. Some exhibitors use
cornstarch which is equally satisfac-
tory. This prevents the plumage be-
coming soiled. and when the starch is
shaken out at the show and the fowls
are groomed they apparently take
higher polish. However, your coops
must have wooden or muslin tops ana
sides to prevent rain from coming IN
contact with the starched plumage. The
final grooming is accomplished with
silk handkerchief, rubbing and polish
ing the feathers until the plumage has
a high luster.

MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys If Bladder
Bothers' You

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says a we'll known
authority, because the uric acid in
meat excites the kidneys, they be-
come overworked; get sluggish; clog
up and cause all sorts of distress, par
ticularly backache and misery in the
kidney region; rheumatic "twinges,
severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad-
der bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
initiates, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts can not injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
disease.
