A VALUABLE CROP


Even when grain crops sell at
unheard of low prices the wise
farmer prepares to properly
safeguard his crop while grow
ing. Experience has taught him
safe methods for handling the
growing crop. And as harvests
time approaches the graihefies
are repaired and tightened up
against possible leaks. Now,
most of us are raising a vaIu-
able crop of boys and, girls,
BUT, we permit our wives to
load these children into a car
with known faulty brakes and
with steering gear so stiff from
lack of grease that she can
hardly make turn. If they
survive this period we then
grant the older boy the use of
the oldest car we have or one
that he can pick up cheap and
he is then in demand by his
pals to go places and do things.
Don't you think it would be
wise to check up on the family
car-safeguard the growing
crop-and get in and drive the
boys car yourself-protect the
matured crop. If you are not
sure that all parts are we'll
creased for easy handling or
that all brakes are effective
bring the car to,

WINS
At BASEBALL

A seven run rally in the seventh
inning brought victory to the Spar
tans in their game with Imperial
high Saturday afternoon and gave
the Central boys a hold on third
place in the league rating The
final score was 13 to 5.
Off to a good start the visitors
garnered five runs before the Spar
tans could find the range and get
going properly. After being touch
ed up for four hits and four runs
in the third frame, Solomon settled
down to business and pitched gilt
edged ball for the remainder OF the
game, yielding but one nit from
that time to the finish.
The fireworks started in the sixth
when the Spartans gathered in
two counters. Then came the big
seventh, with seven runs, followed
by four more for good measure in
the eighth. The local boys took
it in stride and had the game gone
longer would probably have in
creased the score.
Smith and Philbuck, each with

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE de-

loss of about II points from the high
price of last month, evidently attracted

relief as applied to the cotton situation
attracted much attention and discussion
in the local market. Its proposals,
coupling aid to the farmer with dis
tribution of present surplus supplies,
evidently received a bullish interpreta-

buying was attributed by local brokers
to the possibility of its enactment, al
though in view of the short length of
time before adjournment, some doubted
its passage during the present session
of Congress. The further developments
of farm relief legislation generally will
be closely studied, but, If anything, an
impression that the domestic allotment
bill as applied to cotton, at least, will
fail of enactment, has been more gen.
orally expressed.

Winter wheat is now looked for in less

Another vital influence likely to

These principles, adopted unani-

ton of the industry in the administra-
ton Of the market demand laws of the
oil-producing States, the official ex-

at this time.
Two or three weeks ago, he said,
leaders Of the industry were despair

undoubtedly were on the verge Of en-
tertng into violent competition on the
grounds that some of the oil companies
were not playing the game accord
ing to the rules"
The meetings incident to the adop-
tion OF the new principles succeeded
in smoothing out these difficulties. and
in preparing the industry for renewed
endeavor in helping to bring success
to present proration plans, the official
said.
Undoubtedly, he added, the industry
is. much better of today than it was
three weeks ago, from a psychological
standpoint, at least; proration seems
destined to success and with such
success a more stable basis all around
