100000 BALES OF
 COTTON FOR TIRES
Nearly Four Per Cent of Worlds Production in 1920 Will Be Used In
 Pneumatics

Nearly per cent of the worlds cot ton production for 1920 will be used in the manufacture of pneumatic automo- bile tires-a total consumption of an- proximately 100000 bales.
 The 1920 production of tires in the united States should approximately 40,oOO'O00 to equrp nearly 1.5O0.00O new now in operation.
 These startling figures ara s,i,,o. h.. Elliott H. Barnwe1, manager of. tbe cotton and fabric division of the Good year Tire and Rubber Company. He estimates that the only bar to further eApahslon of the pneumatic tire indus try might possibly be the limit to fsb- mills. anu cotton
 Many motorists wonder how much cotton suAs into the manufac+rro oe pneumatics. Tires now contsin a oa average of four pounds-an increa se VI one pound, due to the increasing nun per or pneumatic truck tires men require more cotton because of their size. Much of the cotton used ia hgyptian or Peruvian. The larger com- panles use the cream of the worTd,s crpps-the one and one-eighth-inch seaple' or better few of the larger companies will make more than ba1f the years output-the remainder win be divided among more than PRO smaller concerns. In 1919 Goodvear manufactured nearly 1000, ,00o tires and in 1920 will probably manufacture nearly 25 per cent of the country's s output
 To keep pace with demand, the com pany IS expanding operations in it's tex tile plants. The mills at Goodyear, Conn, will be enlarged to house 30.0Oo new spindles, 176 new houses for em- ployees will be started within thirty days and new tire fabric mill on the Pacific Coast will be operating 5000 spindles by May. The present mill at Goodyear op- crates 22,000 spindles. At Los Angeles, Cal, the company new tire factory to employ 5000 people will be in operation by the middle of summer
 In Arizona the company has already taken three crops from it's 36,O0O acres of cultivated land, made possible by irri- gation of the desert. Looking to the flu ture the company has just completed ar engagements to sell cotton seed to the farmers of the Imperial valley of Cali fornia and will take the entire crop, which will be ginned in new gins to be erected by the company at several ad- vantageous points in that section of Cali fornia-

About the first of December two of my children became ill with whooping cough and suffered all winter with it. In the early spring, while they were still ill with it I began giving them Lung Vita which is now called I4-V.'' says Mrs. E. Nj. Banks, $50 N. 54th St, (Woodlawii) Birmingham, Ala.
 Almost immediately they showed im- provement. the whoop stopped and the cough was gone. Afterwards they were not so susceptible to colds, and when a cold did develop a few doses of L-V stopped it. I gladly give this medicine my endorsement

NEW FIRM WILL RENT FORD CARS
Drive It Yourself Co.,, to Put New Idea Into Op-
 eratiOn on March 1

An entirely new form of the automo-
 bile business to Birmingham has invaded this city. Perhaps you have noticed that
 new garage is being erected at 170l Second avenue. It is almost completed now and soon will be occupied by the
 Drive-It- Yourself Company
 The ideas is this: When a person wants to rent an aut1<1oble for few hours, perhaps day, he will walk into the 1 Drive-It- Yourself Company garage, get into clean, well-kept Ford and drive l it out himself. The scheme is renting 1 Ford cars and letting the person who 1 rents it drive it.
 1 Mr H. Saunders of Omaha, Neb., is l secretary of the new firm and has all ready established a temporary location : at 1709 Second avenue. MT. Saunders and his brothers and father have similar con-
 Omaha at the present time and the idea 1 has proved a huge success | The idea is similar to that of the old | livery stable except that the mode Of | transportation is much faster and easier
 riding and the vehicle is cleaner and
 more comfortable. A person who desires
 to rent a Ford is asked ot give two refer eIceS, ilSH WHO dre we'll NHoWH III DIT mingham and prominent in their lines Of work These men are called on the tele- phone and their recommendations are taken as sufficient proof that the person
 renting the car will return it when he
 gets through with it.
 1 The charges in this method of renting cars are made according to the number
 of miles covered during the time the car | is used.
 l The Drve-It- Yourself Company hopes
 to get into it's handsome new garage on
 March l, at which time it will place 10i Ford cars in operation.

II anybody expects class legislation

ably, he has more hope than we have.
Why, the two things are Numerically
autagonistic and yet the. antagonism is
occupying all the heights Of public au-
thority. The forces Of class legislation
are approaching from every side. In
fact, they are crowding ont everything
else, even the Golden Rule. 1t is a
fact that men ask for some class privi-
lege as II it belonged to the category
Of human rights. We are already be-
ginning to suffer from 1t. In a few
years we will not be able to stand the
suffering, and then We will die Of heart
failure. That is the way the future
begins to look to the man who stops
and thinks. seriously. Every legislature
should have a censor committee. whose
duty should be to exclude all proposed
legislation looking to the special benefit
of any person or class. 1t would have
a great deal to do. for much Of the leg
islation these days is to require every
