Every Friday. the Turkish Sunday.
a crowd of Mussulman pilgrims and

United States

Ell Paso, Tex. Dec. 31.-Whisky
smuggling across the border from
Mexico into the United States at FL
Paso, Is causing customs officials
grave concern, according to agents
here. Since July l last, 120 lots of
smuggled liquor have been seized by
government agents and much of 1t
has been sent to the army and navy
hospitals in the United States.
The federal grand jury returned 162
indictments for smuggling between
April and October and convictions
have been obtained in about 80 per
cent Of the cases. Sentences of from
one to two years in the federal peni-
Tertiary at Leavenworth, Kan, were
imposed in most cases.
1t is stated here that American
intoxicants are being exported into

Good Roads and Trucks
 Solve This Problem

"A good example of the immense renefits good roads and motor trucks give to a community is found at di<- ferent points in the south." says M. R. Christian of the Ctristian- -I,ovelady Sales Company local Kissell disirib- utor.
 For instance, up 10 short time go the farmer had no means to trans port his produce to Knoxville, even with it's being situata' in the heart of Tennessee's agricultural section. where an abundance of fruits. vegetables. awberries in season as well as bee raising arS dairying. were carried out on a large scale.
 With the laying down of good roads motor truck routes were started that connected the adjacent farming sections with the city of Knoxville. Today at least twenty-five truck trains radiating from Knoxville have solved both the food and transporta- tion problems. with the result that not | only is business good and the city ex- periencing unexcelled prosperity from agricultural activities. but the popula- tion is rapidly incraasng.'

AUTOISTS FORGET
 TWO BIZ DETAILS
Fail to Care for Transmits sion and Differential as
 They Should

This is the season of the year when tho motorist should begin planning and cleaning house for the summer. and two of the most important and less thougEt of parts of the automobile are the trans mission and dlfferential," said C. II. Arm strong, manager of the motor oil depart nent of the Wofford oil Company
 Many motorists who otherwise keep their machines iii tip-top shape seem to forget. or, rather than get dirty neglect to give the differential and the transmits sion the care needed, while there are others who do look after these but fail, it seems, to take in consideration the work called for and fail to use discre- ton in the selection of the proper lubri- cant.
 "fhe transmission and dtffefentiai gears are perhaps called upon to stand more wear and abuse than any other parts of the automobile, therefore with out perfect fabrication the gearS soon become worn, noisy and a source of much annoyance with heavy repair bills later oi.

 men drivers. who find that when they are plotting Dorts through the maze of transportation thefc is no difficulty in holding a place in the procession.
 This responsiveness is positive yet f. Is not ierky, for the car moves off easily and accelerates without appar- cnt eXertion on the part of the Dort motor. The same pep is observed when taking a grade or hill There is an abundance of power and it is at the command of the driver at all times"

TRAILER BUSINESS
 GROWING RAPIDLY
Just As Many Made in Three Months As During
 All of Last Year

New York. May 1.-As many trailers were manufactured and sold during the first three months this year as during the whole of last year. The producron would have been greater if the manu- facturers could have secured deliveries of parts and materials and been able to ship the finished trailers. Demand for trailers has increased satisfactorily dur ing the last six months and steadily in- creasng volume is anticipated confidently by the manufacturers.
 During a three-weeks' trip among the factories from New Hampshire and Mas sachusetts to Illinois and Wisconsin. H. W. Perry, general manager, and H. C..

Some new companies are also entering the field with plans for considerable pro- auction. No doubt is entertained tsA; the future of the trailer industry is ks- sured.

Despite these handicaps. shipments have increased each month, and>as shipping approaches normal again, the production will rise proportionately. Manufacturers are we'll satisfied with the sales situation, as, is orders had come in faster, they could nc. have been filled under conditions that have prevailed. As it is, the factories have had time to make provision for increased facilities and production to take care of the great CT volume of sales expected.
 Buying is distributed all over the coun- try and in foreign countries. Most of the companies report numerous export sales to Europe South America, AfrSca and the East Indies. The Texas and Louisiana oil fields are taking large shipments of pipe trailers, the south eastern states are buying many logging trailers and the Pacific coast Is an ac- tive market for all types for conner cIal hauling. logging, etc. Municipalities and contractors in the east, south, cen tral and western states are taking large numbers of slow-speed, bottom-dump trailers for road construction work and figh-speed, side-dump, drop-frame trail CTS for ash and garbage removal.

 Some motorists still cling to the idea of cup grease while others use transmis- sion oils for their differential and trans mission, but a lubricant like Woco gear compound has the advantage over either the cup grease or transmission oil for the following reasons, which can easily be proved by test.
 Motorists will find when using Woco gear compound in the differental that t will not run or leak out of the rear axle, housing off the axle. or by Sic felt washers, as is most common when transmission oils are used They will also find that the gears, instead of cut ting path, as Is common when hard grease is used. are running with film of lubricant on them al all times re- gardless of the speed. insuring perfect fabrication, yet it will not take nlcN power to drive the gears through our compound than through the other greases,
 If the motorist will give the differ eutial and transmission more attention. fewer repairs will be necessary, and that nerve-racking sound of noisy gears will be eliminated The transmission and dit ferential should be thoroughly cleaned and washed out before putting in the fresh lubricant and a little bit of kero- sene will go a long way in cleaning your gears and housing. Try it."

When Fruit Trees Come
Into Bearing

Reckoning the age of tree from
the time when it is planted in it's
permanent place, apple trees
should begin to bear, as a rule,
when they have been planted six
to eight years, according to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Certain varieties, IS the Yellow
Transparent and Wagner, may
bear considerably younger, and
others, such as the Northern Spy
and Yellow Newtown, not until
they are somewhat older. Individ-
ual trees of the same variety vary
somewhat in this respect.
Pear trees bear, in general, at
about the same age as apple trees,
though perhaps a little younger.
Peach trees under favorable con-
ditions often bear at three years
of age, and in any event they
should bear at four years unless
injured by frost or otherwise.
Plums vary considerably accord
ing to the group to which they
belong, but most sorts begin to
bear in four or five years after
planting.
Sour cherries ordinarily begin
to bear in about four years and
sweet cherries at six or seven
years after planting.
Apricots come into bearing al
about the same age as peaches, OF
sometimes little later.
Ounces are usually five or si>
years old before they bear much
fruit.
Raspberries, blackberries, ant
dewberries, if planted in thu
spring, should bear a light crol
the next year. Strawberries plant
ed in the spring or early enough
in the autumn to make a goot
growth before the advent of COLI
weather, should produce a goot
crop the next season.
Currants and gooseberries com
monty bear a few fruits the thir,
season after planting.
Grapes may bear very lightly tn
third season where conditions ar
favorable, but not much frui
should be expected earlier than tn
fourth year.

Every Farmer Should
Harvest An Ice Crop

Said farm specialist recently.
"Speaking Of acre yields how many
crops are there that can beat S26
tons to the acre? With ice 8 in
ches thick, that would be the acre
yield Of well-harvested pond or
creek. And the specialist, who is
concerned with encouraging farm
ers, especially dairymen, to harvest
enough of this plentiful winter
crop to keep the milk cool next
summer, estimated the acre value
of the ice harvest. "The CONNER
cial value would average about So
ton," he said. "That would
make an acre Of ice worth $2,47S.
Of course the farmer could not
expect to sell the ice for that, and
would need only a small part Of an
acre; but that is what it might cost
him if he had to buy it during the
sizzling days Of next summer.
During warm weather the use OF
ice in cooling milk and cream for
shipment is often the means of
saving many of these products
from spelling. Milk should be
cooled to temperature Of 500 OF
even lower before shipping, to in,
sure the product arriving at its
destination sweet. Ordinarily this
teunerature can not be obtained
without the use Of ice.
There is nothing difficult about
harvesting ice. Few tools are re
kquired, and the work comes at
time when farm work is least press
ing. Where there is a pond OF
stream available, every farmer
should take advantage Of the op
=, portunity to harvest this crop.
