SAVE YOUR CLOVER SEED-
A common mistake of those who are
beginning to grow clovers is to plow
up or cut their patches before the
seed -matures- The reason seems- to bo
that they either, are anxious to get the
land for some other crop, or, being un
familiar with harvesting the clovor seed,
they hesitate to try it.
If you have a clover patch and are
thinking of plowing it up I want to
make you realize. the value of clover
seed—the fact that saving' the seed is
not difficult, rfhd that yon can still grow
good crops of corn and other things
after the seed is mature-
My own experience is that clover seed
will give more clear money than I could
get from the bind by planting any
other new crop. If you have clover on
the land you have only the expense of
harvesting between you and a money re
turn that will compare favorably with
the return from any crop you may put
on the ground, and without the chances
or expense incident to planting anil
growing another crop- If you have only
a small acreage you have a home market
on your own farm that will pay you
well for your seed. If you plow up your
clover and depend on buying seed you
will not plant as many acres as you
should have! and if you have nore than
you need you can find a market for them-
The only clear profit I made on my.
farm last year came from my clover
Corn planted after clover as late as
the first of July has been a sure crop
for me year after year. I would rather
depend on June corn after clover than
an early corn on clean ground! and this
June corn costs less in labor and fer
tilizer to make than the early corn-
Why not get the profit from both the
clover and corn crops? This applies to
either burr or crimson clover-
As to the saving of the crimson clover
seed, all you need is a mowing machine
and a little judgment to be successful.
Of course, there are other methods of
getting the seed, but the most generally
practicable, and calling for no outlay
for machinery, is as follows—
When the Seed on your clover heads
are hard about two-thirds of the way
up, cut with your mower when the dew
is on it and rake into windrows before
the moisture dries out, immediately af
ter the mower- It is ^probably better
to leave it in windrows till next morn
ing, and then haul up before the dew
is off. Put it in a room with a tight
floor, where the shattered seed will not
be wasted- You can beat it out with
sticks or pitchforks, or you can put it
through a grain thrash- This can be
done any time through the summer when
convenient-
In getting burr clover seed the most
practicable method, after the straw is
raked away, is to scrape up the seed off
the ground- Although this seems to
be if crude method, and a good (leal of
dirt is raked up with the seed; it never
theless gets you good seed for planting
purposes, arid you will find a good de
mand for Hie seed.
Save your clover seed this year and
see if you don’t find it profitable-

NUTRITION CLASS WORKING.
The children in the nutrition class at
Murray Street School are all gaining-
Many have gained more than a pound
in a week- They can sing “All Charts
Show Gaining” and be truthful- Some
interesting stories -have 'been written by
these children. Below is one written by
Mamie Jackson, third grade, age 10—
"Nutrition Story—Once upon a time
there- was a little girl- She was under
weight and she drank coffee three times
a day. She ate too much meat, and ate
candy between meals- Then she joined
the nutrition class and did they
taught her. She took a rest every day,
and ate her lunch every afternoon- She
drank sweet milk to make her fat and
rosy- These are. some things she ate:
For breakfast, oatmeal, eggs and milk;
for dinner, onions, cabbage and butter
beans; and at supper she ate mush,
milk and stewed fruit-”
Children's Nutrition Song-
Tune, "Keep the Home Files Burning’
1
We are many little children,
Who come each day to school,
And we play, sing and are happy,
Though the days are growing cold;
We have luncheon in the school-house,
And in eating we are strong;
We like milk and bread and pudding,
And we sing this merry song:
Chorus-
Does your chart show gaining?
Is your weight increasing?
Though the gold star’s far away.
There are red and blue;
There’s a golden lining
Through the dark clouds shining;
Turn the dark clouds inside out
’Till the gold shines through- 9
2
We won't drink tea or coffee,
But we’ll drink milk instead,
And at nine o’clock each evening
All of us will go to bed;
We will eat all that you will give us,
All we possibly can chew,
And we’ll surprise the teachers so
They won’t know what to do.

Do you know that milk makes muscle ?
Beans and spinach help you grow?
And that bright eyes, hair and red
cheeks
Come from eating these we show?
We are going to be strong women;
We are going to be strong men;
And when our country needs us
You will find us ready then-

And our weight increasing;
Some have gold stars pasted on,
Some have red and blue;

HOW BAD TEETH
PRODUCE DISEASE-
Of course, we do no.t think xjf'-the
teeth as one of the “vital organs,” but
as a, matter of fact the effect of bad
teeth on our whole body is so marked
that they, piay almost be called 11 vital.
The teeth, if diseased, cause trouble and
discomfort for the following reasons:
1* A decayed tooth harbors , disease
germs, which grow freely, and soon be
come so numerous that they are swal
lowed, and if the person is rundown in
any way these germs may easily pro^
duce diseases, such as typhoid fever*
The germ of diphtheria has been known
to exist in a decayed tooth for a long
while after the disease itself has passed*
2. The germ in a decayed tooth may
cause inflammation of the gums, cheek,
lips, tonsils, palate or throat by their
irritating action*
3* These same germs may act upon
the food we eat, and create a sort of
poison resulting from the formation of
foul gases*
4* When actually swallowed with the
food, disease germs from decayed teeth
cause digestive troubles, which interfere,
with the proper use of our food, and
thus prevent our bodies using the food
to nourish -,us.
In order to protect ourselves from
snch conditions 1 it is necessary to keep
the teeth 6lean by the use of a clean
toothbrush, properly used, and by
seeing a dentist regularly to make sure
no small decays of the teeth are present*
A clean toothbrush should bd used af
ter each meal, if possible; and if not,
surely' twice a day—on arising in tho
morning and before retiring* But un
less the brush itself is sanitary it can
do actual harm. A good way to keep
the brush clean is to dip it in plain
salt after using* Wash off the salt be
fore it is used again, but the little silt
that remains is good for the teeth and* |
is not unpleasant. Once a week let the
brush stand between usings in a glass
in which borax has been dissolved*
Always wash the brush with hot water
after using*
A good tooth paste or powder
pleasant to use on the brush, but it is
not absolutely necessary. Good soap
will serve quite as well to keep the teeth
clean, for a clean brush used the right
way is the main thing* 9
Dental floss, which may be bought at
any drug store, should be passed be-.
tweOn the teeth several times a week.
This removes food particles which your-
brush has not reached- Too much im
portance cannot be placed on clean teeth,
clean brushes and constant care- No
person can be perfectly healthy if
his teeth are bad; and no-false teeth,
however well made, can ever really take
the place of the good teeth which nature
has given you for your own constant
use* Keep your own teeth- as long as
possible, but keep them sound- I
We want to mention the importance!
of the food we have. Soft food'at all
times is bad for the teeth, which need
exercise just the same as muscles need it-
It is said that the crusty bread of the
Italians and the combread of our South
ern negro accounts for the brilliant
white teeth these races have*
Let’s remember that should visit
the dentist nt least twice a year, that we
may keep our teeth in the best condi
tion. This will mean better health for
the individual*
To the motorist
who has quit
guessing about
tires^
A LONG about this time of year a man finds his motor-
xl ing neighbors getting anxious about their tires.
With folks expecting old tires to "pop” any minute,
there comes the question of what kind of new ones to buy.
U. S. Tires are answering a lot of questions like this
nowadays.
* * *
The U. S. Tire following embraces two kinds of
tire buyers.
Those who started with quality first, and have never
bought anything else but the quality standard tire.
Those who came to quality first only after dabbling
with “bargains,” "rebates,” "job lot” and “surplus stock”
tires.
* * •
Getting one hundred cents value on the dollar in tire
buying is a straight-forward, business proposition—not
guess-work or a game of wits.
The most essential man for you to know today is the
local U. S. Tire dealer who is concentrating on- a full,
completely sized line of U. S. Tires.
He gets hisU. S. Tires straight firom his neighboring
U. S. Tire Factory Branch—one of 92 such Branches
established and maintained all over the country by the
U. S. Tire makers.
* * *
He is the man who can give you fresh, live tires—not
stuff shipped to him from some point where it did not
sell, but new tires of current production. ,
Giving the same quality,selection and price-advantage
to the owner pf the medium weight car as the big car
owner gets. With equal service and buying opportunity
whether he lives in the smaller localities or the greater
centers of population.

our Ire
When it comes to "going up in the
air” every day, we know so roe folks
who can make an aviator look pale-
The growth of our tire sales is due to a simple fact
■ that we are selling tires that we honestly believe will give a
maximum of tire mileage with the least possible trouble;
We might have adopted some other policy—might
have decided that it was easier to make money on more
sales, selling low-grade or inferior tires, but we are in busi
ness for the FUTURE as well as the present.
If a car-owner could get uniform satisfaction from
cheap tires quality goods would be little used. Experience
shows that it pays to buy the best in tires as in other mer
chandise, if you wish to get real service;
Yqu may rest assured that we will not sell you a cas
ing or tube that will not stand up under wear, reasonable
care being used.
