a good-natured battle for the weapon,
which was accidentally discharged.

Stubborn Mechanism Holds
No Terrors for Boy
Of Ten Years.

Meet Herbert Germer, 10, expert
auto mechanic and repair man.
What Herbert doesn't know about a
car none of the older heads, long in
the business can tell him.
He knows all about the chassis,
tonneaus, shafts, bearings, cams, car
buretors, oil, gas and electric sys-
tens, gears, timbers and all the rest
of the doodads that clutter up a car
and cause the average owner to lose
all patience when they go wrong.
But when they 90 wrong it doesn't
faze Herbert. With wrench pliers and
screwdriver, he tackles 'em and in a
short while they are acting right
again.
1.-THE best little helper and he knows
his job" his proud father, Fritz Ger
mer, says.
Herbert started in to learn his
trade when he was five years old. He
used TO follow his father around the
garage, asking a thousand and one
questions about automobiles. He has
remembered all he learned.
When he was seven, he started
helping his father. When he was nine
he, with the help of another boy, took
two damaged cars and built a good
machine, one that is running today.
Herbert does his work in his father S
shop, HOO South Cherry street, every
day during vacation, and during
school days works in the afternoon.
He likes to play all right, too, and
in the long summer evenings, after !
o'clock he may be found with his
playmates romping and enjoying him
self.
Herbert attends the Herff schoo
and is in the high third grade and
says he likes to study. Best of all
though, he likes automobiles and will
leave play and even meals to tinker
around car.

most pleasant and palatable way in
which one can take daily the amount
of fats necessary to keep well. OF
course butter does not supply all the
fats that one will consume or need
in his daily diet, but most of us like
butter on almost everything we eat.

DEFEATS wEEYIL.

In regions where the period Of crop
production is limited, either by short
seasons or by the presence Of the boil
weevil. increased earliness is a means
of securing larger yields.
When the incidental advantages ara
understood and added to the chief con-
sideration Of increased earliness and
larger yields in short seasons, the
prospect of usefulness for the new
system appears very large.
It is especially adapted to weeyil
conditions. for there the problem OF
short-season production is most acute.
No other way has been suggested
whereby it is possible for the farmcs
to gain such direct control Of the be-
havior Of his crop.
The danger Of weevil injury Is
greatest under conditions that favor
the luxuriant growth Of the young
plants and induce the formation OF
large numbers Of vegetative branches,
and it is under such conditions that
the control Of the formation Of
branches becomes most effective a. .
