WILL BUILD NEW COAST TO
COAST TELEPHONE LINE.

Another transcontinental line has
been planned by the Bell System en-
gineers and actual construction of a
new pole line on the section from
Denver south and west by way Of FL
Paso to terminate at Los Angeles is
well under way.
On January 25, 1915, the trans
continental line of the Bell System
was formally opened. That achieve
lnent marked an epoch-making adj
vance in long distance telephone
transmission. 1t was more than a
thousand miles longer than any other
telephone line in the world. To run
a pole line and string wires across
deserts and over mountains was a
tremendous undertaking, but to make
the circuits faithfully transmit the
human voice W. a greater distance
than man had ever talked before was
a problem that called for all the re-
source of the Bell System engineering
staff and its engineers and scientists
were equal to the task.
Inc ana luVenIkONS
incorporated in the transcontinental
line have revolutionized long distance
transmission to that today there are
practically no limits to the distance
that speech can be transmitted over
the wires of the Bell System and Ions
distance transmission is just as sat.

Of local exchange YVES.
Four wires will be available on thu
new route. With the so-called "phon
tom" circuit, these will provide three
additional long-haul circuits for trans
continental service, similar to thos'
now in use over the New YOrk-Sal
Francisco line.
The completion of the Denver t,
Los Angeles via FL Paso trunk lin
is in line with plans for permanen
extensions of trunk lines of the Bel
System for nationwide service, pro
viding for at least three main trans
continental routes with suitable mort
and south tie lines.

PURE-BREDS SHOW
RAPID INCREASE IN REPORT.

When farmers adopt pdre-bred
sires to head their herds and flocks
it is not long before the percentage
of pure-bred females increases nota-
bly,. This encouraging tendency to-
ward more rapid improvement of live
stock has been brought about by the
United States department of agri-
culture in the Better Sires-Better
Livestock" campaign.
Of a total of more than 100000 fe-
male animals listed by farmers who
have agreed to keep nothing but.
pure-bred sires, more. than 1886 per
cent are of pure breeding. On these
farms scrubs have practically disap-
peared. For the larger animals the
reports show that only "a per cent
Of the females are scrubs, and Of
course the males are of pure blood,
as that is the basis on which the
farms are listed.
The poultry flocks owned by these
farmers are particularly we'll bred,
only 1.3 per cent of the female birds
being listed as scrubs. More than SO
per cent of a total of $4,000 birds
are entered on the list as standard
bred. Among the herds of swine
there are very few scrub sows-cnly
IL per cent. Nearly two-thirds of
them are pure-bred.
This federal-state effort to improve
the livestock and poultry of the coun-
try has new brought in a membership
campaign that represents nearly g
million head of animals and poultry
Farmers who have become members
have sent in interesting accounts o.
their experiences in improving theil
animals and their bank accounts
Other farmers who are taking par
in the work are invited by the depart
ment to send in their individual ex
periences as well as those of com
munity organizations engaged in tn.
Improvement of livestock. Definit
facts and figures should be include,
whenever possible.

FORDSON TRACTOR
 |S X LIFE SAVER. IN THE CAUCASUS
DispIaces Farming Methods In Vogue Since
 Bible Time

Over in the Caucasus of Asia Minor the Fordson tractor Is more than power plant-it Is a land redeemer and a life saver.
 There In the shadow of Mt. Ararat, famed resting place of Noah's ark, it is the twentieth century mission ary to the oldest land in the world and brings the most striking of all contrasts between modern power farming and the primitive methods in the vogue for thousands of years.
 With the tractor and modern farm machinery, the fields, heretofore only scratched with the historic stick and oxen teams, have been plowed deep and with less seed have yielded far greater crops than ever before. Hun dreds of natives, too, have been released from farm work to enter industrial pursuits.
 A recent note from Erivan, Ar menia, tells the story of tractor ac- mplishments, in striking figures;
 Ten American tractors plowed 1000 acres of land in II days" the message said ITO accomplish the have required 1000 oxen and 800 men,"
 Under power farming the crops In the Caucasus have been 50 per cent larger and one-third less seed has been used. Where Armenia only a short time ago, with so per cent of it's population engaged in agriculture, was only producing one third of it's cereal requirements, it is today pro- ducing about one-half with far less men employed in the work.
 The Near East relief is now using Il Fordson tractors.
 With gasoline power, fed by the rich oil fields of Baku on the Cas- plan sea and with modern machin- cry, the Caucasus promises to accom- plish one of the most interesting az ricultural developments in the his tory of the world.

 IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
 Every operator of /an automobile should have some knowledge of first aid methods and carry as a part of his equipment a small case of first aid materials.
 PROMPT REPAIR SAVES MORE
 TROUBLE
 A broken spring leaf should be replaced immediately. If there Is Sny delay, an extra strain Is thrown bn the remaining leaves, causing the Antire spring to break.
 TO OVERCOME RADIATOR SCALE Scale in the radiator can be over come by mixing little glycerine with the cooling water. The glycerine should be used in proportions of half a pint to each five gallons of water.
 NO PARKING
 No motor vehicle should be parked at the entrances to hotels, theatres, office buildings, large stores and other buildings to which there Is great amount of coming and goIg. RUSTY RIMS CAUSE LEAkY TUBES Never permit the rim to rust. Par ticles of the rust will work inside the casing and cut the tube. Though kh6S6 nOloS are too SIIldll to DO seen by tho naked eye, they leak enough Dir to reduce pressure 10 to Is pounds an a week.
 PROPER PLACEMENT
 OF BATTERY
 Extreme care should be exercised when dry cells are used for ignition purposes to keep them in a dry place. Even though the cells may be new, any dampness will cause them to -hort circuit. and when this takes place there will be hard work start Ing the engine.
 IMPORTANCE OF FABRICATION Cylinders that are not properly fabricated will cause the pistons to expand and look. The absence of sufficient fabrication permits the metal surfaces to come in direct con tact When this condition arises. the damaged surfaces usually score. ne- eessitating regrinding of the cylin- ters and refitting of new pistons and Hngs.
 CLEANING SPARK PLUGS
 To clean spark plugs, soak them in | mixture of alcohol and kerosene Sver night. Then in the morning the tarbon can be wiped off with a clean lag. Because of the highly glazed Jurface of the plugs, emery cloth pr sand paper should never be used. When the glazed surface becomes Soughened, the plug quickly fouls and Hops firing.

GRAY GAR MAKES
 AN ECONOMY RUN
In 208- Mile Test Run Makes Record Of 33 IA Miles
 To Gallon

Word was received Saturday by Garth Motor company, incorporated, the south's largest distributors for the Gray, from the factory, to the eff feet that the Gray car established an economy mark of 33A miles to the gallon of gas on a 20Sm mile test run from Portland, Ore, to Astoria.
 The run was staged by the w R. Delay Motor company of Portland, distributors for the Gray, and the car was accompanied by J. R. Bal bach, of the Standard Oil company, and a. newspaper representative, who acted as official observers.
 The Portland report states that held in that section of the country The car used was a demonstrator which had not been driven more than 750 miles, and no special equipment of any kind was used. Beyond tuning up the motor no change at all was made in the car.
 The top and windshield were up, and the load of three men of about average weight approXimated the usual load carried by the ordinary driver. Road conditions were taken as they came, and no special effort was made to spare the car. In fact, on the return trip 1t rained heavily for about twenty miles of the way, preventing even the ordinary amount of coasting on the grades.

PEERLESS LAR |S.
 EASY ID HANDLE.
Well Balanced Car, Flexible Motor Is Essential, Says
 Perry Mccormack

"The flexibility and ease of han ding of their cars have been a sub ject of wide comment by owners of the new Peerless during the months that have elapsed since its introduce tion," declares r. R. Mccormick, of Mccormick Brothers Motor com. pany.
 In discussing these two qualities, MT. Mccormick explained the factors | necessary to produce a large car which combines them.
 In the first place." he said, the car must be well balanced. Distrlbu- arrived at from the length of wheel base, body weight and location and weight of motor and axles. In the new Peerless, our engineers decided that the proper wheelbase length, | taking all factors into consideration, should be 12S inches, this being ex actly the proper length to co-ordi- nate all these factors.
 Three other things are also of vital consequence to flexibility and ease of handling. These are the | front axle construction, steering gear construction and a lively mo- | situation.
 "The Peerless front axle is one piece drop forging of our own de- sign, manufactured by Timken. It is of I-beam section, heavily ribbed at the yoked ends where the steering | spindles are pivoted. The spindles are drop forgings of chrome nickel steel, inclined sufficiently to give camber of the wheels and provide
 easy steering. The steering knuckle pins have extremely generous sized bushings and anti-friction bearings | to carry properly the load required of them.
 "The steering system is of the
 semi-irreversible worm and gear
 type At the end of a column of
 seamless steel tubing is keyed the | worm, machined from a solid bar or
 steel. This worm is supported in the
 gear housing by plain bearings.

The inside of the casing should be washed with clean gasoline and. after drying, this operation close inspection should be made of the tread and the inside of the casing for any cuts or fragments of glass, or other for- eign materials.

'GLEN-BOY' CRISMAN
PRIDE OF HOME TOWN
Selma Youth Who Starred Dur
ing Alabama Golf Meet to
Enter University

SELMA, Ala, July 20.-Unfold-
ed in the hazy purple of the future,
Selmans see a youth of slender
frame in the midst of a national
golf tournament, claiming this
bluff town by the Alabama's murky
waters as his home.
Glen Crisman, a lad of seven
teen, Il long resldenC OF Selma and
a student Of Dallas High, is the
youth to whom all Alabama looks
to probably repeat Bobby Jones
feat OF winning the National
Open Tournament.
"Glen-boy," as his comrades call
him, this summer made stride to-
ward accomplishment in the world
of fairWay and green. 1t was
Glen, who, in a field of more than
one hundred entrants, copied the
twelfth annual Montgomery
Country Club invitation tourna-
ment, scarcely a month past.
One week later, this same young
ster startled the golfing south by
winning the low qualifying medal
in the Southern amateur meet at
Birmingham. And now he is the
Alabama state champion by virtue
of his victorious march over OPP
ponents at the state contest at
Mobile last week.
Crisman, according to critics,
plays a steady slashing game, his
temperament resembling that of a
veteran of the links and his flash
and energy symbolizing the youth
that is his own.
The youthful star plans to enter
the University of Alabama this
fall, having finished high school in
the spring.
