more about the accident than the

Reckiessness. Not speed.
Speeding" implies that the driver
was travelling at a rate of speed

more accidents in which the motorist
is not exceeding the speed limit than
there are when he is. The writer

The subcommittee on traffic of the

The Proof of Performance and Economy
On first inspection this finer Gardner -Four will
impress you with its appearance and completeness OF
equipment. Your first ride behind the wheel will
demonstrate its exceptional performance in CITY
traffic country roads. And years of unfaling
service at remarkably low upkeep cost will prove the
economy that finally determines value.
Gardner open models sell for less than $1,000 at the
factory, the Coupe and Sedan at proporionately low
prices.

The secret Is in the improved Gardner motor, which
embodies many new prineples-notable among them
the foe-be0tng cyc1kskG feature heretofore found
in no other four cylinder motor.
By this change in engineering design, the bearing
surface of the Gardner motor has been increased so
per cent side thrust also has been materially reduced
by the use of longer connecting rods, and the whip
and vibration 80 noticeable in most Fours have thus
been practically eliminated.
A Car of Balanced Value
Yet the Gardner is not ''one feature" it
offers balanced cdI0e that matches In every unit the
value expressed by its notable motor. No one part
has been eztravaganty built at the expense of another
part. It's smooth, powerful engine is set in sturdy
chassis; durability is joined with ghtness and

by attractive body lines and outer finish

Winter Rations for Animal Important
IL Profitable Milk Producer
10 Expected.

The dairy heifer, since she Is for
the present unproductive, is likely TO
be neglected after the pasture season
is ended. To keep the young stock
growing normally during the winter
months the department Of dairy hus-
bandry of the Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture suggests the following ra-
lions:
If silage and clover or alfalfa hay
are available, feed from two. to five
pounds of corn or other farm-grown
grains available, depending upon the
age of the animals. Heifers close to
calving time can profitably be fed
somewhat larger quantities Of grain.
II silage is available but no clover
or alfalfa hay. good ration would
consist of silage and fodder or mixed
hay with a grain mixture consisting
of equal parts Of corn and linseed
meal. Cottonseed meal or gluten feed
may be fed In place Of linseed meal.
Where clover or alfalfa hay Is fed
alone dairy heifers will do fairly well
