Small Crops Bring More Money

Everyone knows that small crop years yield more money. The sixteen million bale crop sea- son of 1911-12 brought the Southern farmer only $810, ,0O0, whereas the eleven million nine hundred thousand-bale crop of the season of 1917-18 brought total of $1,667 ,00O,O ,O00- according to Secretary Hester's figures.

action at Clery-le-Petit, France, No

vas crossing the Mouse river and canal
at a b~ridgehead opposite Clery-le-Pe-
tit, the bridge over the canal was de-
stroyed by shell fire and Capt. ALL
worth's command became separated,
part of 1t being on the east bank of the
canal and the remainder on the west
bank. Seeing his advance units max
ing slow Roadway up the steep slope
ahead, this officer mounted the canal
bank and called for his men to follow.
Plunging in he swan across the canal
under fire from the enemy, followed by
his men. Inspiring his men by his ex-
ample of gallantry, he led them up the
slope, joining the hard-pressed pla-
toons in front. By his personal leader
ship he forced the enemy back for
more than a kilometer, overcoming ma
chine gun nests and capturing a hun
dred prisoners, whose number exceed
ed that of the men in his command.
The exceptional courage and leader
ship displayed by Capt. Allworth made
possible the re-establishment of q
bridgehead yer the canal and the sue
cessful advance of other troops. Capt.
Allworth's home is at Crawford, Wash

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with IL to Re-
store Color, Gloss, Youth
fulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way Is to get a
bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other In
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because It does it so
naturally, SO evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
small strand at a time by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.-Adv.

conspicuous g%allantry in action with
the enemy neal Chateau-Thierry,

after the company in which Sergt.
Hoffman belonged had reached its OBJ
jective on Hill 142, several counter-at-
tacks were launched against the line
before the new position had been con-
solidated. Sergt. Hoffman was at
tempting to organize a position on the
north slope of the hill when he saw
twelve.o the enemy, armed with five
light machine guns, crawling toward
his group. Giving the alarm, he rushed
ut the hostile detachment, bayonetted
the two leaders, and forced the others
to flee, abandoning their guns. His
quick initiative and courage routed the
enemy from a position from which they
could have swept the hill with machine
gun fire and forced the withdrawal of

ADJUSTMENT OF cARBuREToR
Necessary to Insure Gasoline Economy
-RIch Mixture Will Cause
Loss Of Power.

Keep your carburetor properly adj
justed to insure gasoline economy. A
rich mixture will overhead the engine
and cause carbon in cylinder heads, be-
sides losing power. A lean mixture
Will give loss of power and may set fire
to the carburetor.
To test for rich mixture open the air
valve slightly, admitting more air. II
the engine speeds up the mixture is
too rich. Close down slightly on spray
nozzle or low speed adjustment.
To test for lean mixture pull out
the choke knob on dash a short dis
tance. II engine speeds up the mix
ture Is too lean, and needs to have
the low speed adjustment opened
slightly.
Having adjusted these to your sat
isfaction throttle down engine and
then open throttle suddenly. Engine
should pick up speed smoothly and
rapidly and should not backfire at
carburetor. If 1t backfres the mix
ture should be made richer from high
speed adjustment.
In winter the mixture should be
slightly richer, but the above tests
should be used to make sure the
change is In the right direction and
that the mixture does not become too
rich.

Corporal, Company !, 18th Infantry.
Corp. Heriot, who lived near Provi-
dence, S. c., was decorated for con-
spicuous bravery, resulting in his
death, at vaux-Andigny, France, Oc-
tober II, 1918.
Corp. Heriot, with four other sol
diers, organized a combat group, and
attacked an enemy machine gun nest
which had been inf1icting heavy cas-
ualties on his company. In the adj
vance two of his men were killed, and
because of heavy fire from all sides,
the remaining two sought shelter. I'm
mindful of the hazard attached to his
mission, Corp. Heriot, with fixed bayo-
uet, alone charged the machine gun,
making his way through the fire for a
distance of thirty yards, and forcing
the enemy to surrender. During this
exploit he received several wounds in
the arm, and later in the same day,
while charging another nest, he was
killed.

81 am not at all anxious that mo-

or a calamity howler," said Max Hag-
%elstine, who has attracted considerable
attention through the country by his
frequent pertinent tips to automobile
owners, "but 1 certainly do want
folks to know more about their cars
and the proper care of them.
81 believe motorists cannot know
too much about fabrication and lu-
bricating oils. Lack of knowledge
means loss Of pleasure, loss Of time

phase of the subject which is often
overlooked by motorists and yet which
is the base Of many lubricating trou-
bles. 1 refer to what is commonly
known as gasoline leakage
Cause Of Leakage.
"Gasoline leakage Is generally
caused by a certain amount of mix
ture which is not burned and finds its
way into the crank case, diluting the
oil and destroying Its ~lubricating quail
ties from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in
from two weeks to a months time, de-
pending upon weather conditions. This
means that on the compression stroke
some Of the gaseous mixture from the
combustion chamber leaks past the
piston rings and condenses in the
crank case. This action Is due to the
fact that the oil does not perfectly
seal the space between the cylinder
walls and the piston rings. In some
instances this leakage has been so
marked that oil taken from a crank
case, due to the large amount of gaso-
line present, exploded when touched
with a match.
"Of course it is obvious that gaso-
line is not a good lubricant. And II
does not take much speculation to de-
termine what will happen to a motor

PACKING FOR PUMP GLANDS
Asbestos Rope Thoroughly Soaked In
Cylinder oil and Covered With
Graphite Is Favored.

Either wicking, lead or graphite or
loose-twisted asbestos rope packing
should be used for packing water
pump glands. When the asbestos is
used 1t should be soaked thoroughly
in cylinder oil and covered with fine
flake graphite. It should be coiled
around the shaft in the direction of
turn of the gland nut, and this latter
should o be frightened more than
enough to prevent leakage Of water.
