as large an item in the building of a tire as rubber.
 Alex g. Hanes president of the Hanes Rubber company, foresees a great future for the tire business in the south. and he points to the wonderful growth of his plant as an indication of the possibilities here, Since the resumption of business on big scale after the war ended, Mir. 5anes has been compelled to add con stantly to the force of employees and to the output of hts plsnt until today he has reached a maximum production or 25a tires every 24 hours. But the demand has also increased in proportion and the Flames tire is TOW used in preference to all others by thousands of motorists throughout the sodthetn states.
 h addition to the advantages of the south. where cotton is concerned. 1t is also the best place for the handling of rubber, which is the basis of every pneu- matic tire. Rubber is a tropical product, and is worked to the best advantage under the mild atmospheric conditions found in this section of the country. The question of ample and satisfactory labor which is found here also is a consider ation of great importance.

Three Famous Old Churches

From "The Three Hooker Churches" by

 Thirtythree years August H. 1642) after the discovery by Hendrix Hudson of the magnificent river which bears his name there arrived at the nnall but thriving trading post called Beaverwyck the Rev Johannes Megapolensis. having been sent from Holland by the first (Patroon Kill ian) Van Rensselaer,, a merchant of Am sterdam, to minister to the colonists AL though Van Rensselaer, never visited this tract of some 10000 acres, which bore the name of RenselaerNSch, after it's owner, he early saw the need of church for the prosperity of his colony; consequently he set about the adoption of the religion of the Reformed church of Holland. This selection of the worthy domino proved most wise one, as endorsed by the his tory left by both himself and his church. He not only ministered to the colonists in this unknown land amidst savages, and subject to all the privations of pio- neer life, but he learned the heavy lan- guage Of the Mohawks and taught them as well, and this policy, instituted by him and pursued by the Dutch for the treatment of the neighboring tribes of

LANES RUBBER CO. BUYS PLANTATIONS State That South Is Logical Place for a Modern
 Tire Plant

The purchase by several large automo- pile tire manufacturers of big cotton blantations in the south from which te. lget the cotton fabric which goes into their products, is regarded by officials of the Hanes Rubber company, makers of the famous Hanes tires at Winston Salem, N. C., as added proof of their contention that the south is the logical place for a tire plant.
 Easing their belief on experience gained through generations of manufacturing enterprise the Hanes tire builders in considering the location for their plant did not hesitate for an instant in choos- ing the great Piedmont section of North Carolina, where they are surrounded on < every side by plantations on which the cotton is grown. and by factories in which the fabric is manufactured in it's stoutest and best forms. The service satisfaction which these tires have given from their first introduction on the mar ket is largely result of the care in se- lecting the cotton fabric, which is almost

MAKE BUDGET OF
 YOUR MOTOR COSTS
George w. Morrison Talks About the Economy of
 Automobiles

Many motorists, particularly those who had few seasons of travelling about for pleasure, those of a methodical turn, and those using cars for business pur- poses, figure in advance how much they expect to spend in the coming year. They sometimes divide their budget into four classes: tires, gasoline, repairs, and miscellaneous. The vast majority how ever run their cars in haphazard way. with no regard for expense, and at the end of the season grumble about the high cost of everything. Others boast of how little their automobile costs to run per mile, and speak in a general way without having any accurate re- cord
 Although it is not easy to plan ip ad- vance just what service will be required of car during the year. what total mileage will be made, and what tours under what conditions it is not impossible to set a target total based upon pre- vious experience and, by entering in the proper column of the daily log-book the actual amounts paid out, to get an average by the day, week and month
 Such plans serves a double purpose, for it adds to the pleasure of motoring and brings back to the motorists mind many episodes and scenes that are otherwise forgotten. It is also of ab- scrbing interest to find how near one is able to keep to the original estimate. aside from many useful facts to be learned.
 For instance consider the saving in the gasoline account when a magneto is used for ignition, as compared with the mileage plus the cost of constant ser vice overhauling and occasional renew al of plates, where a battery system is used for ignition, with notes in the Ire mark column" of the time lost on the road and why Record if the car ran well or not
 It is astonishing how much better pow CT the engine gives when magneto is used, and how few troubles happen elsewhere because of it.
 The magnete lasts as long as the car, if never tempered with, and needs no attention other than oil once every thous- and miles, whereas the battery needs to have the plates and other parts re- newed every two years or so.

Seventh Anniversary
Large Sums Offered in Birthday Sales Contest

This month the Stewart Motor Corpo- ration of Buffalo. N. Y is celebrating its 7th birthday. In order that the event may be fittingly celebrated by making June the banner month in the firms his tory a birthday sales contest is being conducted Cash prizes to the amount of s, 5000 will be awarded to the ten win ners,
 When the Stewart Motor Corporation commenced operations in 1912, there were 2O4 truck makers in the United States. Today only thirty-six of these original companies are making trucks. According to reliable data there are 294 truck manu- lecturers in the United States today and only 103 of that number are three years old.
 During the seven years in which the Stewart company has been making mo- tor trucks no record has been received of a Stewart truck having worn out. This fact is indicative of the quality which is built into the trucks, and is doubtless responsible for the thousands of Stew arts in operation both in this country and 27 foreign countries. The distribu- tor for Stewart trucks in this district is the Southern States Equipment Co.,, 192l- B Powell avenue, Birmingham, Ala, Distributors, o. M. Roessel, sales man ager.
