Present indications are that the en-

even more pronounced during the com

attitude of Arkansas planters is one
Of Godspeed the parting guest. The
uncertainty Of the negro is forcing the
planter to turn elsewhere for help. The
immigration fever has siezed even the
negro who is advanced in age, so that
the planter cannot tell where to place
his trust. Negroes who have been on
plantations for many years and who
have annually been assisted by the
planter have left their crops over night
and the planter has the sack to hold.
Conditions such as this are forcing the
planters TO withdraw credit to the
negro. They will make few cash or
provision advances to the negro during
the winter as they are not sure he will

AUTOISTS OVERLOOK
OILING VITAL SPOTS
Lubrication of Chassis Is Too
Often Neglected.

The modern motorist by this time
has become, as rule, well educated
in the care of his car, save in the
single respect of attending to the lu-
brication of the chassis. The average
motorist has learned, perhaps, by the
experience of paying $40 or $50 for
new battery, that it pays to attend
regularly to Its filling and testing.
He has learned, perhaps, through
paying for new bearings for his motor
that 1t pays to keep plenty of oil In
his crank case.
But 1t is the average motorist who
does not realize the Importance OF
chassis fabrication, because he never
has realized sharply just what his neg
lect in this respect costs him.
He Is more apt, very humanity, to
blame 1t upon the maker of the car,
and tells his friends that his car has
not "stood up" the way 1t should If
there were some way Of making the
motorist realize that 1t is nothing
more or less than his own neglect of
chassis librucation that has been the
cause of most of his troubles 1t would
go long way toward prolonging the
life and the satisfactory service Of
most motor cars.
