BATTERY PRICES
 STRIKE BOTTOM
Not Necessary Now to Con- slider Whether Price Is
 "Right'

If that storage battery on your au tomobile shows signs of giving out you will welcome the news just an bounced by l. B. Richardson of Live Wire Battery company, distributor for the well-known Prest-o-Ldte stor- age battery.
 Last December the Prest-o-Lite company announced radical reduc- lions in their prices to us which en- abled us to sell high grade batteries in Birmingham at the prices being asked for mail order batteries ana other unknown and untried makes, says MT. Richardson. "On top of this a further reduction has just been an nounced which enables us to sell batteries at the lowest prices offered in the last seven years.
 "DurIng the war and immediately after, price was no object with many people. This passed away with our false prosperity. and ever since au- tomobile owners especially nave studied values pretty closely before they made a purchase. This was demonstrated very clearly by the way in which the public respondeu to our first radical cut in prices last December. Even with the return Of prosperity, MT. Average Man has learned his lesson.
 "But price is not the only consider ation, as it was with many people a year ago. Automobile owners have learned that 1t pays to buy reliable battery and the question they ask us these days show real knowledge of battery construction and especial ly that a battery is as good as it's plates and no better. Prest-O-Plates' the perfected plates in Prest-o-Lite batteries, have the longest life and produce the most power. Now that our prices have reached the bottom no sensible car owner should hesitate to buy the best"

GOOD INTEREST
SHOWN IN CLUBS
GENERAL EXTENSION OF PIG
AND CALF CLUBS IN COUN-
TY Is EXPECTED.

The general meeting at the Ideal
Theatre Ithaca, Saturday afternoon
brought out a full house Of boys
and girls, and parents who are in
terested in the work. Much en-
thusiasm is being manifest in all but
three townships in the County which
indicates very general extension of
club activities this year.
Three rolls of film were shown
and were Of a character to inspire
those present to be identified with
club work and pure bred livestock.
Mr.. Archie Mccall gave talk on
fair exhibits and outlined what the
Fair Association was willing to do in
assisting to make the boys and girls
club show feature Of the fair
The objects Of the work are to in
crease the interest Of boys and giris
in the livestock Of the farm by show
ing the possibilities Of swine or cat
tie raising through careful seec-
ton, better methods Of feed. Judg-
ing contests, and keeping records SO
as to be able to analyze the business
as to cost of production and other
features Of the project.
The plan is to organize a local
club in any community, school dis
trict or other unite where or more
members are available. This club
must have local leader who can
assist the members With the work
and supervise the club activities.
Where there is not enough interest
locally for a club, boys or girls may
Join the county club The members
may own a pig or calf although it is
hest if all the members in a club
have pigs or calves Of the same
breed.
Three projects in swine work are
offered; A-Breeding Gilt, b
Sow and Litter, C-Herd. 1t is best
TO start with A and continue the
series. For the first year the mem
Der gets pig narrowed after March
first and takes care of it for a period
Of four months. Then the pig can
be sold or retained as desired. Pro-
iect b consists of caring for a bred
gilt from the time of farrow until
the pigs are months old. Project
c the member manages a herd of
three or more sows or can form a
partnership with their parents.
The calf projects also cover one,
two, or three years and are usually
started with a heifer calf the first
year. Ycarling heifer the second
year and COW and calf or production
project the third year.
The general rules for all projects
are:
/. Age Any boy or girl be-
tween the ages Of 10 and 20 years
exclusive may become a member.
2. Each member will keep an ac-
curate record of all feeds and ex-
penses in a record book furnished by
the State Club Leader and send in a
report at the close Of the contest.
3. A monthly report will be made
to the local leader.
