HAVE. A FAD OF YOUR OWN

Thoughts Different From Thotw

of the Work a Day World.

(linn milking u collection or moths ami

You need something to relieve your |
mind, something which will bring
thoughts different from those you must
have In the work a day struggle.
However, do net become so Interest
ed In outside things that you en
croach on the time necessary for suc
ceeding In your business.
In adopting a fad, select something i
light and restful, not so deep as to give 1
you brain fag; for choice, something j
which will take you out Into the open \
air and give you exercise.
There Is nothing more heucflcinl to ,
most people than walking. Take hikes
into the country. This Is better done
with definite purpose. (Jo and K*'t
back within a given time; have a detl- j
nlte destination. Walk fast. Don't
lug.
Study the birds in your locality?
their names, haunts, and modes of liv

Perhaps you get enough exercise I
with your dally grind of work. If '
so, take up the study of some sub- \
Ject which will Improve your mind,

health as physical exercise.
Follow the Gary system in your dally

RDER FALL FERTILIZERS EARLY
#
lailroad Service is a Serious Problem?Fertilizer Dealers Will
Be Required to Accumulate Orders So That Full Carloads
Only Shall Be Shipped?Railway Authorities. Say
Fertilizers Can Be Handled in Half Number of .
Cars Ordinarily Used ? A War Measure.
Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
C. A. Whittle.
The world i- hungry. To get more
?d I-" h 11 alarming problem.
How can 'he farms produce more
?d when labor is so scarce?
How can more acres be planted to
<xl crop? or how can more work be
ven the acits usually planted with
't more labor?
Increase nL labor Is hardly to be
tPected, l,u i here is one important
cans of in!p which the Southern
b.,. been utilizing In the
lst and tha* is Fertilizer. But this
is l)f?n with difficulties.
fertilizr-r can increase production
'ithout increasing labor except at
time. The warring nations
predate this fact, and are giving
1 the encouragement they can to the
,p of fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the busi
es expected of them unless every
eiRht car is loaded to full ca
nity. To load them to full capacity
e fertilizer dealer must have enough
ders in to make up a full car load
More ho can reasonably hope to get
'hipmtnt. The earlier the carload
"tos are placed the better chance,
' course, nf getting a shipment. Be
'use of the shortage of equipment,
,e railroads should have as much
time as possible to plan for moving the
fertilizer. Early orders will give them
a knowledge of the number of cars
that will be needed.
Government Authorities Backing It
The National Council of Defense has
sent out a bulletin on this very subject,
urging farmers to order their fall fer
tiHzers^e^rly so full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
of human food produced.
The United States Department of
Agriculture through the States Re
lations Service and Bureau of Soils;
and agricultural colleges and coun
ty agents, are advising the same.
The railroads are very urgent about
the matter" The fertilizer manufac
turers are offering to help the dealers
and farmers as much as possible to
overcome the transportation difflcal
ties.
Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half of the cars ordinari
ly used for hauling fertilizers could
do the business, if only they are load
ed to their maximum capacity.
Where a full car load can not bo
made up for one destination, then it
is to be filled with orders for neigh-;
boring stations along a railroad.
plore Wheat and Oats From the South
farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, O?*
The South will be expected to take
?f its share of wheat and oat
Auction. Discouragement from the
inter kill <,f the last Beason and la
ttr conditions make the task of keep
's up production no small one,- but
le country needs more of these crops
is to mke care of Its allies. The
Hep* which they are bringing, of
toirse. (.lo not discourage production.
**VPn ?f the acreage cannot be in
"?ased 5 hp prices which the small
?*ins are bringing justify the Yery
*eed bed preparation and the
u?e of fertiliser.
Growing cereals, of course, do not
*ttlre as much labor as growing corn
M cotton, it is true, bat corn and
cotton will take their turn In every
well planned farm.
The scant oat crop should be hus
banded for seed this year. No oats
are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South, especially
If they are grown In the region where
they are to be planted. The same Is
true of wheat unless in a given sec-1
tion the best variety for that section
has not ydt been used.
Good seed should be ordered early, i
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,!
so that dealers can ship only in fullj
carload lots it is quite probable that i
farmers will be disappointed when
seeding time comes. The railroads j
will probably hare more than they can j
do even with full carload shipments, j
It Is a national necessity to see thatj
no freight car space is wasted.
USED WIND POWER
Ancient Chinese Records Tell of
Kite Carriage.
Same Idea Was Involved In Patent l?
*ued for "Motor Car" to Hugo Up
tfcn During Reign of Jamea I
of England.
The first record of a vehicle travel*
Int: without tt ill i mi I power 1m found In
the ancient Chinese records, which
give an account of the kite carriages.
These vehicles were driven l*y ttye
wfnd blowing iiKiilnst a sail attached
to the carriage. In the early reign of
King .lames 1 of England, a patent
was Issued to Hugo Upton, reading as
followk: "For the sole uuiklng of an
lusiruuierit which shall he driven hy
the wind for the transportation or car
riage of anything hy hind." Some be
lieve that Upton secured ids idea from
Kite carriages in old China.
Howe\cr, the history of mechanical
ly driven carriages dates hack to 1080,
when Sir Isjtac Newton proposed a
strain fitrrluire to he driven hy tho
reactive effect of a Jet of steam Issu
ing from the nozzle at the rear of the
vehicle. Some years later a crude
carriage was built, an early record of
which reikis as follows: "Mr. Pinch
beck has recently built a curious steam
machine that has traveled without
horses for 40 minutes and has covered
a considerable distance." In 1759
there appeared an English advertise
ment reading as follows: "Mr. Ladd's
patent four-wheel carriage that goes
without horses and will curry four or
five persons at the rate of six miles
an hour Is built on solid mechanical
principles." In 1802 Richard Trevl
thlck built a steam carriage, which
was exhibited at Loudon, having driv
en Itself 00 miles. In 1830 a horseless
carriage named, "the automotlon" was
built by Walter Handcock. This was
really the first steam carriage tlu?t
proved at all practical. It covered
200 miles during Its life and carried a
total of 12,701 imssengcrs.
The first internal combustion englue
was Invented by Abbe d' Hautefeuille
In 1C78, In which the explosive power
of gunpowder was employed to drive
a piston in a cylinder. This was the
forerunner of the modern gasoline en
gine. Some years leter John Street
developed an engine operated by liquid
air ignited by a flame. The first in
ternal combustion motor which used
gas was inventefKin 1884 by Gottlieb
Dander. In 1885 he successfully ap
plied this engine to a bicycle, and In
1SS0 Carl Benz Invented his single hor
izontal cylinder, water-Jacketed engine,
which he applied to a three-wheeled
carriage. The first practical gasoline
automobile built In America was con
structed by C. E. Duryea In 1892, but
It Was found to be underpowered.
In 1894 lie built a new four-cylinder
car which proved quite successful In
tho Chicago Times-Herald race. The
first automobile endurance race of in
ternational Importance was held in
France In 1894. Two Panluird ma
chines contested. Both claimed a 8.5
horsepower and were driven by Messrs.
Panhard and Peugeot. In 1895 the sec
ond automobile endurance race was
held in France and covered a distance
of 1,730 miles at the then remarkable
average speed of 15 miles per hour.
Six years later, however, the same
course was covered at the rate of 50
miles i>er hour. In 1897, at the Parls
Troville road race, a speed of 29 miles
an hour was developed in a gasoline
automobile. What a difference today.
Not long ago a 300-horsepower car
raced at a terrific speed of 143 miles
an hour. Even pleasure cars easily
run off 50 miles an hour.
Elbows.
Everybody has elbows and especially
famous people, so that occasionally
they can rub them with the masses.
The elbow Is a symbol of democracy
and If people hadn't discovered how
to rub them we might still be living In
an age of feudalism. The elbow is
very useful and some people who
haven't a brain In their heads elbow
their way through life and don't seem
to mind the difference. Science has
frequently been asked what people
would have done if they had no elbows
and has explained the baffling question
in this way?they would probably have
something else Just like them. The
elbow Is a valuable organ, or member,
and If you have an arm* to cutoff you
will need an elbow on It so that the
arm can be cut off either above or be
low the elbow. Elbows are of all sorts,
such as ragged, wrinkled, shiny and
rheumatic. Elbows ore well enough In
their Svay, but a great nuisance at
quick-lunch counters.

Use of the Tourniquet.
A tourniquet is used to stop pro
fuse bleeding from arteries. It con
sists of a strap to go around the limb,
a pad to place on the artery and some
means by which the pad may be made
to press on the artery and stop the
flow of blood. ' Many flrst-ahl cabinets
contain the United States army tourni
quet. It consists of a strap made of
webbing with a buckle and a catch on
one end. It can be used around a limb
by passing the end through the buckle,
and tightening up. making pressure on
the whole circumference until the
bleeding stops.
