Battery Owner Must do His Share

Charles II. Harris, manager Har-
ris Battery company says that in most
every respect the owner OF a motor
car is like all other human beings.
He will 60 into n crowded store and
wait until all other customers ahead
Of him are served and not get angrv
about 1t. He will stand in line at the
box office OF a theatre and accept
seats in the last row without feeling
that he has been imposed on.
But when it comes. to his motor
car and any service connected with
1t. there Is different story. A great
many car owners are unreasonable in
their demands for service and feel
sighted If an employe of service
station does not wait on them i'm
mediately. There are times when slight
delays are unavoidable. However, such
delays are an exception rather than
the rule. Every service station is try
ing to treat every customer the same
and to keep all Of the Unhappy.
Tipping Is positively prohibited at
our place and your cooperation in this
respect Is requested to avoid summary
dismissal Of employees.

ORGANIZED CHARITY
ASSOCIATIONS WILL
CARE FOR CR|PPlES

The practice Of cripples and others
who solicit funds on the streets OF
the city, as has been prevalent in
Ardmore for the past few years, will
be brought to stop by the provis-
ions of an ordinance which was unani-
mously passed by the board Of city
commissioners at their regular meet
ing Friday night. In the future these
people will have to obtain aid from
the various charity organizations Of
the city. The ordinance provides but
one manner in which soliciting may be
done, and that is by signed permit
from the mayor. Mayor Freeman as
sured the board that he would sign
no such permit until the status or rns
applicant has been thoroughly inves-
tigated and shows that such permit
should be granted.
1t was pointed out that although
some of the cripples who lie on the
pavements and beg really need aid.
nevertheless the charity organization
could help them in better and more
proper manner.
Chief of Police Chancellor, who was
present as the meeting stated that
many Of the beggars are pro-
fessionals who do not beg because
they are in need of aid, but do 80 to
make money. Many Of them, stated
the chief, get drunk as soon as they
acquire a sufficient amount to pur-
chase liquor and the police depart
ment is then forced to take them in
charge.

EVOLUTION OF THE HOG;
ARHORRED BY THE ANCIENTS

and Milwaukee was once famous for
something or other.
AS the name implies, the Poland
China is a cross breed. 1t combines
the best points of the thoroughly do
mesticated Chinese pig with those of
hardy middle-Europe stock. 1t is
black, or dark spotted, with small,
broad concave face and dropping
ears. Some Poland China sows
weigh a thousand pounds, although
the average is rather less than that.
They are long and broad, short-legg-
ed and fat. Considering that pigs
are raised solely for food, the Poland
China approaches perfection.
Of course there are many other
straight and cross-breeds, some con-
sidered even finer than the Poland
China. Each of them has many
excellent points.
The state of New Jersey originat-
ed the Duroc Jersey, large red col
ored pig with Topped ears. On many
stock farms in the middle west Du-
rocs and Jersey Reds are being rails
ed today in preference to the Poland
China, because the red pig is harder
and gives more actual lean and less
fat than the black pig.
Pennsylvania takes pride in the
Chester White, which originated in
Chester county, Pa. And so on down
the entire list of hog raising states.
Adaptability of the Hog.
There was a time when the pig was
an outcast, an unclear scavenger, un-
intentionally unfit for human food.
And that wasn't all the pigs fault.
He was victim of circumstances.
When you get to know the modern
domesticated pig you will find him
really intelligent, friendly, and pos
sessing a sense of humor. He is fond
of properly prepared food. Fail
ing that, he takes what he gets and
appears equally grateful. Denied a
bath in clean water, he will wallow
in the mud. If he cannot have a
bed of straw in nice clean pen ne
will sleep apparently as contentedly
on the floor. And just because ne
eats Stops from the garbage pail and
drinks dishwater with apparent rel
lSh IL need not De SuppoSou CHe'o az
prefers that kind of nuttrlment to
good corn, boiled vegetables and nuts
washed down with a drink of sour
milk or fresh water. He makes the
best of any kind of treatment and
thrives accordingly.
Even in the matter of physical pro-
portions the pig is most accommodate
ing. If you want him to have long
legs he will grow long legs. You can
have him long or short, broad or mar
row, fat, lean, or just middling' ac'
cording to taste.
The Ancestral Peccary.
Millions of years ago, which is as
near as we need to come to fixing the
exact date, this earth passed through
period known to biologists as the
upper Oligoeene age. 1t is the name
given to the second division of tn

those which occur above the Eocent
