A COC Pi E OF OL1) JOKES
WITH APPLICATION
1 am reminded of the story of the ne¬
gro, who was grazing his mule. Ho
became tired and sleepy, so he flung
the rope, which held the mule, around
his own body and laid down for a nap.
The mule wandered around for awhile,
and stumbled into a hornet’s nest. He
had business away from there at once.
He carried the negro with him through
barb-wire fences, and over logs and
rail fences. The negro physician was
called in and rendered first aid. The
patient did not do so well, so it was
decided to call in a white physician.
The white physician inquired of the
colored physician what his diagnosis
was.
He said: ”Ise decided he is suffering
from the scateration of the insides.”
He asked what remedies he had appli¬
ed. He replied, “Alum and resin.” Up¬
on being asked why he used these
remedies he said: “I put the alum in
him to draw his insides together, and
l put the resin in to hold them to¬
gether.”
That is the purpose of the Board of
Trade, to prevent scatteration of in
tersts by drawing them together and
pinning the community into a common
purpose.
I recall when the telephone line was
first strung up in our county, a farm¬
er came in to town, and was told that
he could talk to Miranda over the
slendor line. He doubted the idea. He
called his wife up to prove it. There
was a thunder storm with much light¬
ning. The lightning struck the wire at
the moment he picked up the receiver.
He was knocked down. He got up,
and said: “That was Miranda on the
line, for she did just that way at
home.”
Some people have to be knocked
down before they believe in him. Soci¬
ety is slow to believe and slower to
pay. Achievements cannot he sold on
this C. O. D. plan. You have to deliver
the goods before recognition and appre*
nation begin to be manifested.
PEACHES SEEN IN DECEMBER
An unusual sight, even in this warm
climate, is peaches in December, yet
some were found in the orchard of Mr.
George Palmer, east of Camilla. They
were not ripe, nor even near grown,
but nobody could deny that they were
peaches and given 30 days more of
sunshine, minus frost, they would have
been ripe and ready to eat.
THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVING’lmw, uudRGIA
WHAT IS RUBBER?
“Although the public is fully aware
of the source of supply of coal, iron,
sugar, gold and dther basic needs,
but little seems to be known concern¬
ing the fundamentals of rubber,” says
a recent article in one of the Firestone
Tire A- Rubber Company’s publica¬
tions.
“The first references to ‘India rub¬
ber’ are found in the writings of Span¬
ish travellers in Mexico, about 1521.
These travellers observed that the na¬
tives of Mexico had a national game
of ball which they had developed to a
high degree of skill. The travellers
were greatly impressed with the re¬
markable resilient qualities of this
ball, and they had never seen anything
of the sort before.
”lt was found that these wonderful
bouncing balls were made from the
dried juice of a certain tree, but the
Spanards failed to realize the commer¬
cial possibilities for this new product,
and did not seem to make any at¬
tempt to put their discovery to any
useful purpose.
"About a century later. Portuguese
missionaries, in the Amazon regions,
discovered that the natives were us¬
ing rubber in making such articles as
shoes, clothing and water bottles. In
1731, the French Academy of Science,
sent explorers there to investigate the
sources of this, to them, new sub¬
stance. These scientists reported that
it was a gtim obtained from a tree and
they named it Heve.”
According to the Firestone article,
it was Priestley, the discoverer of oxy¬
gen gas, who, observing the wonderful
erasing qualities of the substance
named it “India rubber,” but it was
McIntosh, also an Englishman, who,
in 1820, put the material to general
commercial use by manufacturing
rubberized raincoats.
"The best kind of rubber, commer¬
cially known as ’para,’ is produced
from Hevea trees. This tree grows to
a giant height and girth, flourishing
only in tropical regions. The largest
plantations are in, Malay States,
Straits Settlements, Sumatra, Java
and Ceylon, and the greatest volume
conies from Straits Settlements with
Singapore as the port of shipment. It
is here that the Firestone Company
maintains a large estblishment for
washing and packing the crude rubber
which, with buying headquarters at
the same point, effects economies in
eventual tire costs by reducing freight
charges and ensuring first selection of
materials.
"The process of collecting the latex
or rubber,” the Firestone article con¬
cludes, "is similar, In some respects,
to collecting maple sugar. When the
trees have matured a native picks out
those to be tapped, cuts a notch and
a channel, places a cup below to collect
the flow and later in the day gathers
his cups carrying them to a central
point where the day’s ‘crop’ is accu¬
mulated.”
