MANY HOGS SUFFER
FROM THE CHOLERA

More than 200 hogs are being
treated daily in Knox county for hog
cholera. Dr. e. C. Limbaugh of Mt.
Vernon has been engaged in the
work for several weeks and the sit
uation is serious enough to warrant
the attention of every owner of hogs
inthe county.
At present, the dangerous area is
between Danville and Howard. For
the past week, Dr. Limbaugh has
been giving individual treatment to
hogs in this field, and where he has
been called before the fever got any
start in the herds, he has saved the
farmers hundreds of dollars.
County Agent Anderson stated this
morning that he believed the disease
is pretty we'll under control, but add
ed that the utmost vigilance should
be kept by hog owners. The first
outbreak of the disease occurred
around Gambler and near Mt. Yer.
non but it is now under control in
this section.

National Bank of Commerce In New
York Says Discount Market Re-
gures Standard Receipt Which
Will Protect Loans.

The use Of bank acceptances for
financing cotton growers is advocated
by the National Bank of Commerce in
New York as q remedy for the hand
tO-mouth crop-lien system now in gen
erai use. In It's magazine, Commerce
Monthly, the bank points out that cot
ton marketing requirements hereto
fore have not shared in the country's
credit resources because the obliga-
tions Of the generality Of borrowers in
this field have not been suitable for
negotiation in the open market. The
burden Of financing has been concen-
trated on limited number of South.
ern banks. Such a system has been
responsible in large degree for COM
pelling the dumping of cotton on the
market almost as rapidly as 1t could
be picked and ginned.
The bank points out that means Of
securing broader distribution Of the
burden has been provided by the Fed
eral reserve system, which enables
member banks both to redfscOunt
loans and TO execute acceptances,
which are particularly suitable for
general negotiation. The success of
this remedy, however, depends largely
on the ability Of borrowers to provide
certain simple requirements Of the
discount market. One Of the chief re-
quir"ments, the bank declares, Is q

MUST SKID OR
 YOU CAN'T DO
 THE FAST TIME
So Declares Barney Oldfield, Master Driver, Who Should
 Be Authority

Most motorists prefer to have their cars travel in the direction given by the steering wheel.
 That driver should ever plan for an exception to this rule may be a startling thought, yet the race pilot both plans for it and relies on it for his safety.
 Nobody can make time on dirt track without sliding his tires" de- clares Barney Oldfield from the wealth of his unique experience. "You simply must slide them; if you don't you're going to turn over or go through the outside fence. Take a good slide en- tering every turn and. if your tires hold. you're ready to sail at top speed down the next straightaway.'
 Speed demons come and go but there can be but one Barney Oldfield. He took tracks as they were, driving even the small half-mile ovals with the same dash and confidence he showed on the broad, smooth. million-doiIar speedways.
 That he remains to tell the sNOry and reap the harvest is, as he frankly admits, due to his unceasing vigilance in the detail of tires.
 Strangely enough, this very quality is also the cause for the Master Driv- CTS" final retirement from racing.
 The tires he developed and had built to his order during the closing years of his racing campaign are now o,-ing duplicated on broad scale by the Old field Tire Company, of Cleveland, of which the one-time Speed King is the president and active head.

Dealers everywhere are very strong for the Amalgamation Gum Process. They have joined us in the belief that this is the greatest Improvement since the Half Sole was invented, and be- lieve it is the one thing needed to per feet the Half-Sole idea.
 The Amalgamation Gum Process is demonstrated success. It has been in use under test conditions since Aug ust of last year. The results have been nothing short of remarkable.
 It insures the perfect amalgamation of the Half-Sole with the carcass of the used tire, making the combination solid unit. With this process the Half-Sole Is joined to the tire as firmly as the original tread--this is import. ant.
 Through this perfect amalgamation there is an entire absence of friction or heat, and in addition the Amalgama- tion Gum serves to smooth up the min or irregularities n the worn rlre that have heretofore prevented perfect union

Green Seal Always
 Leaves Shop Fresh

So many Prest-O-Lite Green Seal batteries are being sold today as a re suit of its success and intensive adver- tising campaign that the factory is se- riously taxed to keep up with the ever increasing demand.
 "The principle upon which the Green Seal battery is manufactured and distributed is so simple and obvi. ous," said Mr. E. W. Kinmore, local sales manager, "the wonder Is, not in its instantaneous success, but in the fact it was not done earlier in the game. Eventually it will revolutlos.no the entire battery business.
 Ut is we'll known among motorists that deterioration of the component parts of a battery is caused by the ac- tion of the acid upon the electrodes or plates of the interior. The Prest-O-Lite Green Seal battery is made dry at the factory and shipped assembled ready to receive the acid and charge for the first time at our service station the day it goes into the car.
 That means fresh battery, newly charged the day it is connected up. Compare this with the old style bat tery that is fully made and charged the day that it leaves the factory. Per haps 1t is one month in transit out here and lays on the dealers shelf from three to nine months before it is purchased.
 During all this time the action of the acid upon the plates of the battery has caused deterioration. That battery is from three to nine months worn out the day it is put into the car, SUD- posedly new"
 Throughout the United States the Green Seal" Prest-O-Lite battery has virtually stampeded the battery mar ket according to reports coming to To- cal dealers.

Keeping Carbon Out

keepinQ Carbon out
 About two ounces of mixture of equal Parts of alcohol and kerosene poured into each cylinder about twice a week, when the car is run into the garage for the night. will keep the en- zine clean of carbon.
 During the night, the mixture soft ems the carbon deposit When the motor is started the next day, the mix ture is driven out through the exhaust and with it the loose carbon. Continue this process twice week and there will be no carbon trouble.
 The amount of carbon deposited in the engine may be determined oy the ease with which 1t knocks when the load Is applied. If the motor knocks easily, especially when the spark Is advanced to the usual position. it is time for the carbon to be removed.
 Save Your Brakes
 That driver used to be considered an expert who could come to a sudden short stop. He would speed through a crowded block and then, just as the traffic cop turned the sign to stop, the speedster would jam on his brases. There would be screaming and scrap ing and the car would stop within a few feet.
 Most motorists now know this doesn't pay. It's risky and wasteful. But how many know how to make the best use of their motor so as to put as little stress as possible on the brakes and prevent burning cut of the brake lining?
 Using the motor as brake means easier driving, especially up and down hill. and less liability to skid. It's also less costly than use of the brakes entirely.
 Keep Battery Charged
 Allowing your battery to become ov- er-discharged means more time to re charge it than if it had been recharg- ed sooner, and liability to weaken the battery through sulphation. The time to recharge the battery is when II lacks power to turn over the engine. If not done then, the weakening p,v cess will begin.
