LOVED ALL FEATHERED FOLK
AuGubon's Mans immortal Because
of His Splendid Work for Amer
lean Native Birds.

John James Audubon, an American
naturalist and bird lover, who did per-
haps more than any other man to in
terest Americans in their native birds,
was born In Meadville, La, Of French
parents, in 1880 He studied In
France. III 1893 he settled near Phil
adelphia. where he lived for ten
years, devoting himself to the study
Of birds. Later he spent considerable
time IN the West, wandering through
the woods in close touch with his
feathered friends. In 1926 Audubon
went to England, exhibiting his bird
drawings, which he finally published
in q work containing 435 colored
plates of birds the size Of life, entitled
"The Birds of America" A copy OF
this complete work today is worth
small fortune.
On his return to America Audubon
Iabored on an illustrated work, the
Ouadrupeds Of America" Audubon
never instituted any movement for the
preservation of birds, for in his day
much of the country was wild, ana
II looked as though there were no
danger Of birds ever becoming extinct.
It was his genuine love for the feath-
cred folk that caused the Audubon
society to be named for him.
The Audubon society has done much
to prevent wanton destruction and TO
create a sentiment against the wear
I'M, nf birds and feathers on millinery.
IT is largely due to Audubon societies
throughout the country that large
tracts of ground have been set apart
as bird reservations. The national OF
flee of the organization is In New
York city. M

Glass ResiSts Fire.

There is a product called wire
glass;" which, it appears, presents a
most effective barrier against fire. 1t
consists simply of a meshwork OF
wire embedded in glass plate. Even
when licked by flames and raised to a
red heat it does not fall to pieces, and
it has been shown in many cases that,

What Balance, as applied
to gasoline, means

We do not say that an unbalanced gasoline
will not run a motor. 1t will, and so will
various other liquids under certain condi-
tons and with certain types of carburetors
But years of experimenting and costly re-
search have demonstrated that gasoline is
the most satisfactory motor fuel and that
balanced gasoline is vastly superior to one
that is not balanced. '@
Gasoline has several characteristics which
make it the ideal motor fuel. The natural
composition of the particular kind of crude
oil it is made from controls some of these
characteristics, the kill with which il is
refined determines the others.

And what Conoco, the Balanced
gasoline, means to the motor

The ability of Conoco Gasoline to start motor
promptly even on a thin mixture is the result of
the liberal but not excessive low boiling point
fractions that it contains. It's ability to move
you slowly and steadily along in heavy traffic, to
respond instantly to the urge of the accelerator,
the country at high mileage per gallon this
ability Conoco derives from the fact that its
manufacturers know how to make perfectly
balanced gasoline. Z .s4i
Conoco briefly means more power because there
is less waste, less carbon because there is COM
plete combustion, continual satisfaction and
economy because its quality is always uniform.
wasIs the results.

ONE Of the really difficult problems of
~ petroleum refining is the production
of a perfectly balanced gasoline in large
enough volume to meet the needs OF the
motoring public. The task doesn't require
exclusive processes so much as it does
highly skilled attention to details, not only
of refining but of shipping, of the condition
under which the gasoline is going to be
used, of motor operation and even details
of motor construction. . sgg4sslts.1;
The manufacture Of balanced gasoline
involves the consideration of hundred
and one different factors. There's the fac
tor of starting, for instance, another and
quite different one of power development
and of acceleration, mileage, and so on.

The Balanced Gasoline
Every n1ot0rt should k10V Whdt this means in terms
of motor car performance and operating economy

Practically the entire development of gaso-
line production for the last thirty years has
conferred around one problem: that of max
ing gasoline that would possess certain
necessary properties all of which would be
in definite relation to each other, care
fully balanced; in other words, not too
much Of one and too little of another.
Knowing this, it is not hard to understand
why experience is of such great importance
in producing balanced gasoline, one that
is always easy starting, always develops
its full equivalent of power in your motor,
is always dependable as to mileage, clean
ness and economy. 1t takes a good deal
more than modern equipment, even as
necessary as that is, to refine balanced
gasoline.

HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Sasn Crop Production Costs Can Be
CUT In Half BY Food And Grain
Making And Saving At Homo

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- )--"No one
IL wise enough to know or foresee the
outcome Of the world wide financial
ana political mix-up that has followed
che world war and the inflated price,
JOY riding spree that we have all en-.
gagged in," said H. G. Hastings, Pres.
ldent of the Georgia Association, Geor.
gia's organization for statewide de-
velopment.
"The wise farmer in the South will
forget the 80 to 40 cent cotton price
that led him to disaster in 1920 and
f1gure on selling price of around
10 cents under conditions of normal
yield and acreage which we are very
liable to have in 1922. This necessi-
tates reduced cost Of cotton making
or else being wiped out.
The cost Of cotton or other cash
crop making in the South or any
where else Is largely food cost, food
for the farmer and his family, food
IN the shape Of grain ard forage foI
his working live stock. VITA low prices
Tor cotton or other cash crop the
farmer cannot afford to pay any out
slider profit or expense ON the food
he. his family and working live stock
consume. This means to quit living
off OF supply merchants shelves and
to live off the products OF home acres.
''The situation requires chickens.
hogs, milk cows and acres Of corn,
oats. wheat forage and miscellane-
GUS crops from which to feed them
Last but not least, in importance, is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source Of
food In the world.
Most folks here in the South don't
thereby make q great mistake. There
are too many OF the lick and prom
tse' sort of gardens and mighty few
OF the real sure enough kind.
I'VE have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant it. tend 1t and keep 1t
replapied through the season, that 1t
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
The garden Is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest. 1t starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
IS ready to use. A little later, halt
or moro needed for the table comes
out Of the garden
IF rightly tended and replanted 1t
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
tho right kind of garden Is a life
saver, and we all need life.saver of
this kind In 1922"

''HUNGER, BEST SAUCE"

0F COURSE, Mrs. Fox had never
heard this saying. but she knew
that something must be done, for Mr.
Fox was so cross and found so much
fault with every meal that was served
his poor wife was at her wits end
worrying over what she should have
for dinner each day.
Il am tired of chicken growled
Mr.. Fox one day. 1T is chicken,
chicken, chicken. Why don't you have
duck or turkey once in a while?'
II did cook turkey only last week."
replied poor Mrs. Fox, land you said
it was out Of season and that chicken
was the only food fit to eat this time
of year."
But though Mr.. Fox found fault
with the food, ne never left any of
it on his plate and very little on the
table when he finished a meal He was
as fat and sleek to look at as any fox
around. Mrs. Fox noticed that and
she thought something must be done,
for she was growing thin with so
much worry.
While he found fault and grum-
bled, Mr.. Fox did very little work. A
chicken or duck he brought home
