MUCH INTEREST BE|N c
MANIFESTED IN MONDAY
MEETIN 6 FARM A Gen is.

Considerable local interest is being
manifested in the meeting of the
county farm agents of the south
central Oklahoma counties that con-
venes here tomorrow at the office Of
John W. Simpkins in the county court
house.
Aside from the work regularly done
by county agents, the plans for a
county farm bureau will be discussed,
and such q movement will be launched
at once by the county agent Of every
county where such an organization
does not exist.
The farm bureau movement has
done great deal toward making
farm life more attractive and profit
able in many states, and It is pro-
posed to get the idea firmly planted
in Oklahoma
At the meeting tomorrow G. w.
Callerman district farm agent with
headquarters at saltwater and ]. A.
Wilson, state farm agent Will deliver
addresses on different phases Of the
work.
More interest is being manifested
in better farming and stock raising
In Carter county at present than ever
before, and this advance movement
is directly attributed to the interest
that has been inculcated into the work
by the county farm agent and the
county farm home demonstrator.
The boys and girls clubs Of the
county are beginning to make prepar-
atoms for the first livestock show
that will be held here in March, and
many of the club members will COM
pete for the various premiums Of
fered.

SOME PRACTICE ESSENTIAL
Process Can Be Learned Rapidly and
Then Ii Won't Be Necessary to
Take Chance When Streets and
Pavements Are Wet.

Very often 1t is only that the auto
mobile owner is not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the method of attaching
chains to put them on that causes him
to take a chance when the street OF
pavement is wet. Unless the method
OF attaching chains is practiced a bit
1t is en- awkward process, and as such
an automobilist rather than spend a
number of minutes fumbling with what
he considers to be badly fitting at
tachments will run along and may
meet with a serious accident.
The first couple Of times hat chains
are put on it may take a considerable
while to do 1t, and the motorist may
even believe, although he has the in
dicated size for his tires, hat the
things are not of the right dimension.
A little practice, however, will make
attaching chains n matter of only q
moment or SO, and this is time that
anyone can well afford to spend.
The best way is to lay the chains
over the wheel with the hook part
toward the rear and tuck in the other
end snugly underneath the wheel in
front, as shown here:

MOUNT STRAIGHT SIDE TIRES
Proper Method Is to Lay Rim on the
Floor, and After Inserting Valve
Stem Use Force.

The proper method of mounting
straight side tires is to lay the rim or
the floor, inserting the valve stem of
the tire in its proper place. The bead
for ten inches In both sides of the
valve should then be forced in place.
After starting the tire in this way
1t should be forced in place further by
stamping on 1t. first on n side and
then OF the other. Stamping In this
way will let the operator sea the tire
easily as a general thing, though 1t
is sometimes necessary to resort to a
tire tool. The ends of the rim may be
brought Into place by means of a
screwdriver to use in prying, and car
must be used not to make a mistake
and get on the wrong side of the rim
on top. This method is for use when
a rim-expanding and contracting tool is
not available. as this latter saves
much time and trouble and should be
In every tool box.

II is quite impossible to get away
L for long from the simple, smooth
lines that women have come to love,
especially in their every day dress.
All the new frocks In the all-day and
afternoon class, appear to follow very
closely the straight line models or
those with a mere suggestion of waist
and hip curves
A reaction against too much decora-
ton is also in evidence in the best
new dresses, but the simple designs
make the best of backgrounds for
well-managed garniture. Beads were
an innovation on all-day dresses. but
have made a success and are now used
so effectively that they appeal to the

CURIOSITY OF FINNY TRIBE
Lung Fish One Of the Most Remark
able Specimens Known to the
Scientific World.

A fish that growls n meows like
a cat is found in certain parts OF
South America, Africa and Australia,
and this is considered by scientists
to be In many respects the most won
derful fish In the world. 1t looks much
more like a snake han a fish. 1t has
lungs and is obliged to put It's head
out Of water frequently to breathe.
Lung fish. as these creatures are
called. are a link between reptiles
and ishes-the nearer kin to the orig
inal stock from which snakes and
fishes both sprang, and in the fossil
period these ancestors OF theirs were
scattered over the entire world. One
reason these strange fish have been
preserved thousands and thousands OF
years after their prehistoric ancestors
were extinct is because they can live
easily through long ~droughts. Alliga-
tors and their African cousins, the
crocodiles, are almost tho only enc
niles they have to fear except man.
Their rich salmon flesh is highly
priced by the Indians, who go after
them with spears.
In n natural state, the African lung
fish Is about eighteen inches long. but
when kept In aquariums and fed the
year round, instead Of lying dormant
for lack of water, they grow to be two
feet and a half long and weigh six
pounds or more.

SAVE MONEY BY USING
MOTORISTS TIRE CODE

Here is a "code" for motorists
which, If closely followed, will
save many dollars annually In
tire expenses:
Keep the tires properly In
fiated at all times.
Be sure to repair the little
cuts regularly.
Prevent blowouts by avoiding
severe Jolts and by maintaining
full pressure.
Have the mud boils cleaned
out and repaired at once.
Be careful when inserting
tubes.
Avoid sudden stops, quick
starts and skidding.
Keep the front wheels In
alignment.
Use tale In the casing, but
don't S too much.
Avoid ruts and save the side
walls.
Don't drive in a tracks.
Apply CHAINS properly and use
them only when necessary.
Avoid sharp Instructions.
Remove grease, oil and acids
from your tires at once by using
a cloth moistened in gasoline.
Examine clincher rims occa-
slonally for Irregularities and
rust.
Prevent damage from rust by
using graphite.
Carry spare tubes in a bag.
Keep the spare tires covered.
Be ure that there is nothing
on the machine that scrapes the
tires as they revolve.
Be constantly on the lookout
for defects-then you will elm
mate most of your tire trouble.

was amazing how many times Elsie
found something TO take her to town
just about the time Billy Edwards
came rumbling past in his truck. And
Billy seemed to expect to meet her,
though it Is certain she never let him
know hat she was waiting. And SO
the summer passed.
One afternoon in late August, as
they were returning from a trip to
the village, Bllly-she called him Billy
by now-said to her: How'd you like
to go riding with me this EVENING""
"In the truck?" Elsie laughed.
well, no, hardly in the truck.

admitted that he was indeed the own

Billy was suddenly very busy max

Billy told.
