want to find your tires in good con-
dition when springtime comes again,
says the United States Tire Company.
The tires should be cleaned thor
oughly to remove oil and grease. If
you want to be especially kind to your
tires, remove them from the car, de-
flate them, wrap them up in paper
or cloth and store them in a cool, dry
place away from the sunlight.
If you do not want to go 70 the
trouble of removing the tires, jack
up the car, debate the tires, and wrap
them in covers of paper or cloth. Do
not let the car stand on the tires all
winter or you will need a new set of
tires in the spring.
1t is essential that tires be Debated.
In cold weather an inflated tire has
a tendency to "set," a condition un-
der which the rubber is likely to
break if bent or twisted out of the
position or shape in which it has
stood for length of time.

EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS

Peter Betters, veteran locomotive
engineer of Staples, had novel es-
cape from serious injury or death
last Saturday when he stepped into
the path of a stray bullet while walk
ing about his own door yard. Strange
as it may seem, Mr.. Betters was not
aware of his narrow escape until he
had occasion to take his watch out Oh
his pocket and felt the indention Oh
the back of the case. A little in
vestigation then revealed what had
happened. .-.
The watch is now at the O.. N.
Lundberg Co. store for repairs and
on opening it Mr.. Lundberg states
that Dame Fortune certainly favored
Mr.. Betters in this instance. Mr.
Betters carried the watch in his up

ly taken by the bullet would have
meant serious injury or even death
for Mr.. Betters. AS it was the bull,

struction of the works and spent its
force on the watch, a fraction of az
inch either way would have found nt

bullet would undoubtedly have enter
ed Mr.. Better's body.
Mr.. Betters is a large man ant
quite heavy which may account fol
the fact that he did not feel the i'm
pact of the bullet on the watch. The
case was badly denied and the works
"jimmed up" to such an extent tha
extensive repairs are necessary. Thu

Energetic measures against the
chinch bugs which threaten injury not
only to the wheat and rye crops Of
Missouri but to corn as we'll are
urged by the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in view of reports of an impend-
ing outbreak of the pest in that state.
Widespread and severe infestations
of the pest are reported in the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting in northern Texas and ex-
tending in a northeasterly direction
over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri,
touching Nebraska, and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich
igan.
Generally Distributed Through State.
The chinch bugs, latest advices say,
have had mild winter and are gen.
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
ing in considerable numbers in the
st. Louis neighbOrhood early in May.
The farmers, it is said, have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all of them do
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
the bugs is likely to be very severe.
1t is well to expect the bugs to begin
migrating to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin to harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creOsote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate in increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
to migrate in serious numbers for five

ANTI BEER BILL PASSED

''Wets" Succeed in Forcing Adoption of Important Amendment, However, To Curb Prohi Agents.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Despite an unexpected display of wet strength the Senate by vote of 39 to 20 yesterday passed the Campbell-Willis bill prohibiting physicians from pre- scribing beer as medicine and other wise amending the Volstead prohibi- tion enforcement act.
 Wet forces, however, succeeded in mastering such formidable array of votes that they were able to compel the adoption of amendments one of them so important as to call forth protests from dry leaders that it would nullify the Volstead law
 This amendment was offered by Senator Stanley of Kentucky It is designed to put an end to some of the practices of prohibition agents which have been the cause of wide spread complaint. It provides fine .of $1,000 and imprisonment for one year for prohibition agents or any government employe elfgaged in en- forcement of prohibition or any other law, who searches or attempts to search property or the premises of any person without securing 5 search warrant

 IS REACHED
 ON TAX BILL
Propose to Take Levy From Soft Drinks and Clothing
 To Reduce Outlay Also.

| Washington Aug 9.-Agreement drinks and ice cream, and the so- called luxury tax on wearing ap- parel. is said to have been reached yesterday by Republican members
 of the House Ways and Means Com
 mittee, sitting in executive session. A reduction of one-half in the 10 per cent levy on sporting goods also is said to have been agreed upon.
 The total loss of revenues from
 these proposed changes would be slightly less than $50,000, 900, and the reductions are the first to be passed upon by the majority mem
 bers in their effort to carry out
 the announced purpose of Rennb- lican House leaders to put $500,- 900, 900 from the nations tax bill. The wearing apparel levies pro- posed for repeal are 10 per cent of the amount by which the cost of
 many articles exceed average prices.
 Estimates before the committee yesterday were said to have contem- plated total cuts of approximately $579. 100000 in probable expendi lures for this fiscal year, leaving the total at S3.905, ,000,O00. Rednc- tions proposed included $75.00O ,O0O for the army, $57,000,O00 for the navy, $100,OO0. 900 for the Shipping
 Board; $245, 100000 for the rail-
 roads and $100,0OO. 900 proposed by the Treasury to be employed in
 redeeming war savings securities Tax reductions suggested totaled $720, ,OO0,O ,O00 including $450,0O0,- 900 excess profits, $aO,00O,00O in-s
 come surtaxes, $50,000. 900 nuisance taxes and 0.O00,000 transporta- tion taxes. As an offset against these reductions, estimated increases 1 in all income included $262, 2,O00. .000 l from the proposed income tax to offset the excess profits levy, $70.- 900, 900 from customs because of the proposed new tariff law, and $4O.-
 000.000 from the sale of surplus Iwar supplies.
 The net loss in government rev. enue this fiscal year on this baSis
 would be $45S. .0O0,OO0 if the repeal of the excess profits and higher income surtaxes are made retroacA tive to last January l. hut it was said yesterday that sentiment to defer these repeals until next Jam

ED TREECE IS IN FAVOR OF
 FINER STOCK
Believes That the Scrub Variety Must Go No Time to Waste Money on Poor Stock

Ed Treece who resides on the Gainesville road a short distance northwest of the town is strong believer in the raising of better
 stock----finer stock. He deyotes prac- itically all of his time and attention ito the subject and he is planning Ito participate in demonstrations at the next county fair that will prove his calculations along that line. Mir. Treece brought the following statement to The Press and Soli- phone office the other day with the request to publish it. He thinks every farmer ia Greene county should read and ponder the subject Here's the statement:
 Every man who is going to raise livestock-and this means practical fly every man who is going to keep on farming g-needs to have on his own farm, or within easy reach purebred sires to breed to. There can be no getting away from that.
 Whether livestock production in the future yields big profits or lit tie, the biggest of these profits will go to the men who raise the animals of quality. The men who raise the lowest class animals--the gallon-a- day milk cows; the coarse h headed flat-ribbed steers; the long-snouted marrow ow-chested. undersized hogs -. are going to get small profits. or none at all, no matter what prosper ity may come to the general run of livestock producers. Quality is all the time counting for more: and if there ever has been a day when q farmer could afford to breed his fe- males to scrub sire. that day has definitely passed.
 Kill the Scrub Sire That is the only thing that will prevent the of more scrub animals; and the raising of scrubs has always been, and will always continue to be, poor business"
