~Dismantline and Rebuilding
Some Simple Points.

Nearly all battery troubles are due
TO the owners failure to observe n
few simple instructions. The motor
list who gets the greatest owe the
most service and the longest life from
his storage battery is the one who is
cautious in the care of it and makes
it a practice to examine it at least
once every two weeks in winter to
see that the liquid solution is up to
the proper level.
These periodical tests are highly
important. They enable you to tell
in advance when your battery is in
danger of being ruined through under
charging or overheating. when minor
troubles in the electrical system are
draining the strength and endurance
of your battery, when an inexpensive
freshening charge would save expen-
sive %dismantling and rebuilding later.
Few Simple Suggestions.
Here are n few simple instructions.

life Of vour battery. and give more
satisfactory service.
Under no circumstances use any
thing but pure distilled water.
Boiled" water will not do. it must
be distilled water from which all
impurities which would injure the bat
tery have been removed. If YOU do
not care TO add distilled water o
self make arrangements with the near
est service station to do II for you.
Acid or electrolyte should never be
added except by an expert battery
man.
All metal parts of connectors,
which are not lead-coated. should be
kept covered with a thin coating of
vaseline.
Look at your. battery occasionally,
and If the solution has sprayed or
spilled, wipe clean with a moist
sponge.
Don't lay tools, or anything else,
across the top of your battery,

HELPING OURSELVES.

Hill AAN1 OOIN0GLf LOs
THE example of the Brooks coun-
ty Farmers union in going out
and selling 10000 gallons of syrup
at 40 cents, while the product of 9th
er sections was waiting for r buyer
TO come along, has caused wide COM
ment throughout Georgia. Repro
ducing a paragraph from the Times
Recorder of earlier this week on the
subject, the Cordele Dispath COM
ments further on the achievement,
saying:
There is story with some meat
in ii! Brooks county farmers have
a salesman who goes out and finds
market for the stuff produced and
put into marketable shape That
the way the products of other see
lions are sold-why not Georgia
products in the same manner?
I'VE have recited the old story
about California over and over again.
The growers in that state not only
pool their products, but they have
salesmen-make giant business out
of it and advertise their products all
over the territory where consumers
may be found And in California to-
day people know less of hard times
than any other section. This is the
truth, whether you want to believe
it or not.
"There is not a plausible excuse
for failure to pool the syrup made
from Georgia cane-no reason why
it should not be made into a uniform
product and sold with d stamp of
guarantee for QUALIFYING reason
why sales representative and ad-
vcrtising should not sell it all over
this country. 1t is hardly ever tasted
out the bounds of Georgia today.
The field is wide open. Nothing is
needed but a self-starter here in the
sugar cane belt.
Brooks county farmers seem to
have found the self-starter. If they
give the trade a uniform grade OF
syrup--and deliver what they sell, the
demand will be fixed. This is pro
duet that will be sought out and
used"
The Moultrie Observer takes it up
as follows:
"If crude effort results in selling
syrup at forty cents a gallon, there
should be encouragement to form
marketing machinery to handle all the
syrup raised in Georgia, all the corn,
the cotton, the potatoes, the water
melons, the peanuts, pecans, cattle,
hogs and every product Of the farm.
eve have a market bureau in
name. What we need is a re-organi-
cation of the marketing bureau, and
machinery set up that will organize
the state by counties, establish ware
houses, carrying on training in curing
and grading, finding the markets and
doing all the selling.
Before this can be done farmers
will have to learn to market their
crops gradually and to trust others.
By such a marketing system we can
increase the demand and improve The
price of all the products of the farm.
There have been numerous other
interesting observations. But all have
seen the point in the story, which is
that Georgia products can be market
ed when the effort is intelligently
and properly made, just as other
sections are able to turn their pro-
ducts into cash by making the works
want them.
The Lord helps those who help
themselves, generally speaking. What
we Georgians need is the initiative
to help ourselves, and as long as we
don't do it we will be more or less
out of the running.

MEXICAN RULING
IN OIL DISPUTE
A|DSD|PLOMATS
r ederal Control of Sub-Soil
Products Not Retroactive,
Say Oregon Jurists.
BY international News Service

Those who are anxious for recogni-
ton of Mexico were encouraged today
by unofficial reports from Mexico City
that the Mexican supreme court has
held that Paragraph of Article q of
the Mexican constitution is not retro
active.
In the absence of confirmation OF
the reports. State Department officials
refused to comment.
Article q provides that the Mexican
government holds control of the ma
TONS subsoil products. and 1t has been
held that II was retroactive and, there
fore, that leases on oil properties by
Americans were liable to confiscation.
The reported decision of the supreme
court would prevent any such confis-
cation. .
The contention over Article II has
been one of the chief stumbling blocks
to. Mexican recognition, and IL was
held in some circles that II this has
been removed by a court decision that
the way for the resumption OF rela'
tons with the Southern republic will
be- much easier.
(. Officials indicated that a court deci-
sion declaring Article 81 not retroac-
tive would be much more acceptable
than legislative action to the same
end.
