HAND CRENADES
USED 500 YEARS
AGO in BATTLE
Government Giving Away
Bombs Intended for
Doughboys' Use

Washington. Hand grenades,
which the Government will shortly
make available to thrifty individuals
through banks and trust companies as
souvenirs of the Great War, date
back five centuries as war weapons.
They were known to have been used
in 1927 at the siege of the Fortress
OF Casamaggiore, on the River Pc,
the defenders using a glass bottle
filled with powder.
The term 'grenadiere" grew out
OF the training of the best qualified
among the soldiers of Louis XIV. in
1865, to hurl these grenades. In En-
glish history. as we'll, the grenadiers
are found from the Seventeenth Cen
tury on. The Russo-Japanese war,
iowever. developed the grenade into
the effective weapon it proved in the
Great War. Jam tins, tomato cans,
and other metal receptacles were
sawed from scrap heaps and filled
with powder. These were the imme-
date forerunners of the modern cast
iron, corrugated INT grenades.
known as the Mills Defensive Bomb.
which caused SO much destruction
when hurled into German trench
or dugout. 1t is the Mills grenade
with the TINT removed that the Gov
eminent is putting out now as saw
ings banks.
ASK any bank how to get one. You
don { have to pay a cent for it.

Large Increase
in Miller Sales

With an increase of approximately
Sc per cent in sales volume for the
first seven months in 1919, as com
pared with the same period in 1918,
the Miller Rubber Co., of Akron.
Ohio, shows every indication of shat
Itering all of it's previous records
when the totals are checked up at the
end of this year.
Whereas the company did approx
mately $16,0O0.OOO business in 1918
a $23.00O,000 figure was set for 1919
and, Judging from present indica-
ItiOns, the latter mark will be passed
easily.
| The excellent showing made dur
ing the first half of the year is re-
vealed in an sthat has
gone out to Miller stockholders ad
Ivising them of an 100000 increase
in Miller common capital stock. The
stockholders are permitted to sub
scribe to the new stock at 500 par
on a basis of one-fifth of their hold
lings. Miller common has been SELL
ing at better than 200 for several
months.
THE company's business has ex-
banded SO rapidly this year that more
icapital is necessary and it is for this
purpose that the additional stock has
been issued" said w. F.. Pfeiffer,
general manager of the company.
Practically every month since
lIQnnQrv 1910 To-
sales. 1t has been healthy increase
nothing spectacular-just steady,
consistent growth"
Mr.. Pfeiffer was asked if he
thought there was any particular fac
tor that had more to do with Miller
growth and success than the ordi-
nary circumstances that surround a
growing concern of this kind.
Yes" he answered instantly.
uniform workmanship. From the
beginning it was the Miller policy to
use only the best grade of materials
for its products and then make those
products uniformly the same. This
policy was especially noticeable in
our tire building department and it
resulted in the widely known Miller
uniform mileage tires Tires built
alike wear alike. All are long dis
ltance runners and give that satisfac-
tion demanded by the tire user. That's
the secret of Miller uniform work
manship.
And that. in my opinion, is one
of the big reasons why Miller sales
volume is growing larger and larger
all the time"

Each of the departments of the Sal

duplication and overlapping. This
caused great shrinking in results and
much inconvenience and criticism

San Francisco. President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia Univer-
sity. speaking here before the Com
mercial Club, said, Furnishing prof.
teers is a good thing, but it won't
reduce the cost of living. If we had
all their boarded goods it would do
little good.
Only the operation of memorable
economic laws can bring us back to
tolerable conditions. The remedy is
to save. to practice public economy
and private thrift. We must save
and invest in productive industry.
Borrowing for non-productive rea-
sons mean bankruptcy"
In the opinion of the best econo-
mists in the United States the peoples
greatest weapon against high prices
is the Governments Thrift and War
Savings Stamps. Every family should
have budget, just as every success
full business has budget. The first
thing on that budget should be the
amount to be saved from the weekly
or monthly incOme-not the amount
to be spent. Make what you save
govern the amount you spend, not the
amount you spend govern the amount
you save.
War Savings Stamps bring per
cent interest, compounded every three
months. Hit high prices below the
belt by investing in United States
securities. The dollar you save today
will be worth twice as much five years
from now.

GIVE GRIT TO AID DIGESTION

The hens should have access at
all times to a supply of grit or stones
of size small enough to be swal-
lowed readily. Grit is used by the
hens to help in grinding in their gig
yards the hard grains which they
eat. A supply of ordinary gravel
will answer the purpose of grit very
well. Crushed oyster or clam shell
also should be given to the hens and
be kept before them at all times. If
this is withheld the hens are likely
to lack sufficient shell-forming ma.
terial in their feed, with the result
that they lay many soft-shelled or
thinshelled eggs. Grit or she'll can
be purchased in small quantities at
any feed or poultry store

and consequent loss to the producer
thru fail in prices.
Mr.. Mares, resident Of the California
Cattle Growers association explained
how his association had worked out a
method of organization which placed it
upon a firm financial basis.
Local associations we're formed, he
said, which in turn affiliated with zone
associations. These zone associations
elected representatives to the central as
sociation and contributed to its treasury,
with the result that the California Cattle
Growers association was able to spend
$4,000 last year in carrying on its
work.
Dir. Mares recommended that similar
strongly centralized associations be or
ganized in each Of the cattle growing
states and that these associations con-
tribute to. the national associations
treasury. SO that oh adequate fund would
be provided to enable the associations
representatives to carry on their work
in Washington and elsewhere without
pecuniary loss to themselves
