Some Costly Mistakes
Men are Making on Tires

Men who buy tires on guess, or on claims, are making some costly mistakes. Large tire users make tests and com parisons. And the results in late years are amazing.

vaseline, may be applied with the
fingers on the head, neck, under the

care should be taken, however not to
get too much grease on the chick
ems, as it will stop their growth and
in some cases may prove fatal.
The brood coop should be cleaned
at least once week and kept free
from mites. If mites are found in
the coop, it should be thoroughly
cleaned and sprayed with kerosene
oil or crude petroleum, From / to

Brood coops should be moved weekly

Chickens Matched during the win

house or shed while the outside
weather conditions are unfavorble;

they should be reared in brood coops

made so that they can be closed at

Where hens are allowed free range

The loss in young chicks due to
allowing the hen free range is un-
doubtedly large. Chickens frequently
have to be caught and put into their
coops during sudden storms. as they
are apt to huddle in some hole or cor
ner, where they get chilled or
drowned. They must be kept grow

The heart of every poultry keeper
rejOices when his matches are full
ones. This joy, however, quickly
turns to distress if the baby chicks
do not thrive, and the successful
brooding of chickens is a difficult Op-
Grafton, especially for a beginner.
Many poultry keepers who are able
to secure good egg yields and fair
matches make failure of brooding
chickens, either in raising only a
small percentage of the chickens
is a difficult operation. especially for
a beginner. Many poultry keepers
who are able to secure good egg
yields and fair matches make a fail
ure of brooding chickens, either in
raising only a small percentage of
the chickens Matched or in failing to
rear strong, vigorous birds which de-
velop into good breeding stock.
Brooding with hens is the simplest
and easiest way to raise few chick
ems and is the method which is used
almost exclusively on the average
farm, according to United States De-
partment of Agriculture specialists.
Artificial brooders are necessary
where winter or very earl ychickens
are raised, where only Leghorns or
other nonsetting breeds of poultry
are kept, or where large numbers of
chickens are raised commercially.
Rearing Chickens With Hens.
Sitting hens should be confined to
slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. in which case the chickens
should be removed as soon as dry, in
a basket lined with flannel or some
other warm material, and kept near
a fire until all the eggs are Matched;
or the eggs may be removed and
placed under a quieter hen whose
eggs are Matching at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
keep the earliest Matched chickens
warm, in case they are removed from
the nest II the eggs hatch unevenly,
those which are slow in Matching may
be placed under other hens. as hens
often get restless after part Of the
chickens are out. allowing the re-
naming eggs to become cooled at
the very time when steady heat is
necessary. Remove the egg shells and
any eggs.which have not Matched as
soon as the hatching is over. Hens
should be fed as soon as possible

TIRES SAVED BY CHAINS
Wheels Are Kept From Spinning on
Wet Pavements.

Many motorists seem to believe
that tire chains induce wear; not il
they are properly used. Without tire
chains the drive wheels tend spin
around more or less on slippery sur
faces. Sharp pieces of stone, cinders
and other similar material in the road
cut the rubber and scrape it deeply,

DODGE MOTOR CAR OWNER
GIVEN THRILL BY VILLA
Bandit Liked Car He Escaped in, but
Gave 1t Back to Man He Held
for Big Ransom.

Newspapers in every section of the
country were just recounting the re-
markable experiences of Fred G..
Hugo of Eagle Pass, Tex, who was
kidnapped by General Villa, held for
$4,000 and then mysteriously re-
leased on condition that he would
keep his mouth Shut" when Detroit
motor car manufacturers representa-
tive arrived in Eagle Pass to consult
his local dealer. One of the first per-
sons the Detroiter met was Hugo
himself. He found him at the deal
er's place of business making in
quiries about the delivery of new
car.
"You see." said Hugo. "villa liked
my car 80 well that he decided to
keep 1t. I've got to have another"
And as Hugo's promise to the ban
dit general required him only to keep
secret the time. place and conditions
under which he was released. he con-
scented to narrate some of the hith-
erto unpublished details of his un-
usual episode.
Villa and his band had finished
footing the town of MusQuiz. Goa
hula, Mexico, when they visited the
ranch of which he is manager, Hugo
said. At the point of revolver.
Villa and five of his generals forced
him to take the wheel of his touring
car and drive them away. The fed
eral army was in close pursuit and
the bandits considered it advisable
to give up their horses.
1T was rough haul" said Hugo.
There were practically no roads: the
ruts were deep, sand heavy and hills
hard to climb. But through it all the
car performed beautifully. / could
see that Villa and the others were
admiring her.
Finally Villa said no other car
had ever made that trip and wanted
to know what the Dodge Brothers
car sold for. told him, $1.OS5 f. o.
b. Detroit. which made it about
1910 in Eagle Pass, to which Villa
replied that this was a very moderate
price for such car and that he had
made automobile trips in Mexico, but
at no time had he been driven in a
car that got along quite as well as
this one"
Mr.. Hugo added that the journey
to the generals temporary rendez-
vous in the Pine Solo, in the state OF
Chihuahua, was over $50 miles OF
terrific roads and that the car arrived
in good condition.
Several days after this interview.
the Eagle Pass dealer was surprised
to see Hugo again driving about in
his same, familiar car. He learned
with equal surprise that it had been
mysteriously returned. just as Hugo
had been mysteriously released. Villa
had sent word to him to be at an ap-
pointed place at given time. He
went and found his car awaiting him,
with the rebel generals compliments
"Over 800 miles Of that wild coun-
try and running just as fine as ever;
not even the d. B. monogram was
scratched" smiled Mr.. Hugo, the
ranchman. as he posed for a photo

If your blood is in bad shape it

THE COLONEL ANSWERS
THE GOVERNOR.

Col. Frank P. Stubbs, replying
to Governor Parker, who in a
speech at the Hammond fair said
lie was surprised that Col.
I Stubbs was opposing the consti-
btional convention" declared
emphatically that Governor Park
er had miscOnstrued the meaning
of his words.
Il am heartily in favor of a
convention" the Colonel said. His
statement follows:
p" am not opposed to a consti-
tutional convention, on the con
trary, am heartily in favor Of a
constitutional convention and an
unlimited constitutional conven-
ton to be held wit hthe least de-
lay consistent with the observ-
ance Of the fundamental principles
of free government, the right of
the people to select by direct vote
their representatives, who are to
frame the organic law and to
pass directly Oh the finished work
of such representatives.
The plan for the proposed con
ventlon violated these principles
and | am opposing and will vote
against the plan. The statement
of the Democrats of Ouchita par
ish admits of no other construc-
ton. Any man who can read and
understan dthe English language
must concede that under the plain
word of my public statement, the
opposition as stated, is to the pro-
posed plan and not to the idea Of
an unlimited constitutional con-
vention. /"
The opposition that is today be-
ing made against the plan of the
constitutional convention by Col. |
Stubbs and other prominent citi,
zens, would have been obviated if |
Governor Parker had been willing
to listen to the advice of the ma
Jority of members of the House of
Representatives when the bill
came UP for final passage. There
is no question that Constitu-
tional Convention is badly needed,
and it is to be regretted the plan
under which it is proposed to hold
the convention, has been so
framed that it is open to attack.
and that there is some CHARGE of
its defeat.
While it is true that under the
plan the bill provides that the
Constitution after it is framed by
the Convention. if one is held,
need not be submitted, that there
is nothing to prevent its Submis-
sion if the delegates should de-
eide that submission is necessary.
However, the bill as framed,
never contemplated that the work
of the Convention should be sub
mitted to the people for their APP
proval. and if the delegates should
so decide to submit it, it would
be mere concession on their part
as most Of the delegates have
been elected without anv opposi-
tion.
1t is not that the people are de-
submission of the Con
stitution so that they cen finally
pass on the instrument before it is
adopted. but it seer's that they
should have been given chance
to decide for themselves whether |
they wanted submission or not !
We believe that il the bill had S
provided that the electors, would !
first vote for or against the hold
ing Of the Convention, and also If {
fhev wanted it submitted for rati- 5
