Washington, July 2S.—Vague pre-
fi ctions of war between capital ar.d
labor, aj contained in a rc-ent tom-
ntunicaUm ta Prisidcnt Harding yes
terday from the Railway’s Employ
ment Publicity association, were
scofled at in ofllcial c rclea cf the cap
ital today.
Privately, members oi the senate
wer e woi.t to describe the intima
tions as cheap propaganda, designed
to bring the general public into the
industrial dispute now hand.
High officials of the adminislr.u’on
were of the opinion that certain fac
tions cf the disgruntled element were
seeking to antagonize the farmers tft
the country and have them believe
the wlule Question under < o: trover-
s.v involved theiv interest, which is
declared to be contrary to fact.
The partcular reference to the
American fanner in the els. mi re
ceived by Pres den tHar ling which
has aroused the ire of statesmen at
the capital as follows:
Extracts From Wire, 5
’•The blood of th e American l&vm- f
ei and laborer is at boiling heat, be-,
cause they came to teh firm ccnclu-
s bn that their government is
against them.” I
And further—“I pray that It will
not ccme, yet I take the Lbeity to
predict, that in your attempt to place
the American laborer under the gun,
mVhing short of la rov.elut'on will
happen.” The telegram then pro
ceeds to picture “the dark clouds
that are hanging in the horizon sky ’
which are reported as foreboding a
IrevoAitjon in whV.-h the Amei'can
fanner will jc-in labor in overthrow
ing the established order of things
Commenting on the intimations
madiv both officials and private per
sons nte pointing out today what
they say is an attempt *o disturb
other industries net affected. "They
are try tig to make a mountain out
of c mole hill,” one senator com
mented, after reading the message.
Others assert that the whole matter
should V e pooh-poohed, oflefng fig
ures to show where the questions
now in dispute are confined to a lel-
atively small portion of the ‘ entire
population of the United States, and
that tha declarations are no more
than liuve been made d-ryig former
periods of unrest.
Praise Fo: Hording. j
Much pnit.&e has teen heard ;n I
capital circles, even a uai.' of ill
coming frun labor heads, of Pres -1
dent Harding’s attitude in replying!
to the telegram, especially that par;
In which ht sad: “1 am more than j
Clad to answer your telegram, Uio
1 can only treat your politically par- j
iisan reference with that contempt!
which Is felt by every good c tizen |
in this hour t f deep public concern.” I
The president is credited for once I
with handling th ( > tjubject without'
gloves and showing the disposition
of the government to refute charges
attributed to the general public rath- j
c-r than confining them to the chan
nels to which they ar e sa U to be
long.
On the whole, the public is thought
to be dlisnterested In the present
.irike situatVin except to the extent;
that an ly inconveniences suflered
through a shortage of c r al and a s tie- j
up in the railroad schedules will be |
i h 0 source of much protest. Other j
than th fa, the strike question is a
matter of little public concern; and I
of all interest in the United States']
none is sa\d to be less affected than
the farmers, who from their isolation
are not brought in contact with the
problem. For this reason the asser
tions .haWs qreaftad amusement Ai-
stead of fear.
The farmers, it is pointed out, if
anything would voice sentiment
against the general conditions, as
such, are likely to destroy their
chances for marking agricultural
products, especially those of a per
lshable nautre.

Ford parts, like almost everything else

parts are manufactured to SELL at the
highest possible rate of profit and the
grades of steel used are consequently not
the same high quality, specially heat-
treated alloy steels specified in Ford

Don’t be misled—Insist upon GENUINE FORD
PARTS made by the Ford Mcyor Company. By
so doing you will get from 35 to 100 per cent

“It is estimated that 7,000, and more,
persons drown in the United States I
yearly. Every summer brings wi.tfi it [
an alarming toll in deaths from drown
ing—chiefly tbrdligh accidents to les
sons who are not familiar with a few
simple rules. Lack of knowledge of
resuscitation methods is knottier
cause of loss of life which might
otherwise liuve been avoided.
“Fundamental in eliminating deaths
from uecidentul drowning Is the fact
that every bather should know how
to swim. Many persons who have
never taken time to learn to swim
come to disaster when, In seeking es
cape from ttie hot weather, they full
Into treacherous holes and drown be
fore help reaches them. The ’rock the
boat’ pest would have fewer tragedies
to his credit if more of Ids victims
knew how to handle themselves in
water.”
Following are the rudiments of
water safety which every swimmer
and canoeist should keep in mind:
Don’t* for Swimmers.
Don’t swim on a full stomach. (Walt
at least two hours ufter eating.)
Don’t swim if overheated.
Don't swim until exhausted.
Don’t swim if you have heart trou
ble.
Don’t dive without accurate knowl
edge of the depth of the water.
Don’t struggle if caught In a swift
current or uhdertow. (The force of
the current will bring you to the sur
face.)
Don’t wade Into the water with tin-
arms above the head. (You will not
be ready to stroke If you step lain a
hole.
Don't lean halyard when wading
into the water. (Always be ready to
full forward.)
Don't fail to learn Red Cross life
snvlng and resuscitation methods. '(Be
capable of saving yourself and your
companion.)
Don’t cry for help in fun. (Yyu
may sometime need help and not get
It.)
Don’t go in swimming alone unless
you nre an expert.
Warnings for Canoeists.
Don't go canoeing if you can’t swim.
It is not necessary to, pull into the
waves back of a steamboat to show
that you can handle a canoe.
Paddle quickly to the shore if you
have a passenger who tldnks it funny
to rock the only foundation between
you and death.
It might as weii oe repeated for .the
millionth time—be satisfied with the
seat you took when you started.
If you do capsize, don't try to cllinli
back into the canoe; not many cun
do It.
Do not grab for 'anybody’s necl:.
When the canoe rises just lay your
bands on it, ar.d rest.
A paddle will do just as well. By
bolding a puddle before you in the
water you cun keep afloat until help
comes.
Keep a cool bead. If you can’t do
this stay out of a canoe.
■Ono iof V.lfe great needs cf the
agriculture of this section is a bi
ennial or pcrtnnial forage crop. Al
falfa re?ms o be the best crop to
all this need for certain sections of

per year with a yield of four to six
t. us per acre for the season may
be expected. .
Alfalfa that will stand for any
length of time must be disease re
sistant. So far. a narrow loaf typo
. ems ib.yve fills QUiit! Jt/ more
prenorneed than any other kind.
Seed from Kansas and Nebraska and
chat general section of the United
Steles seem to be the most practi
cal. *
The heavier, stifler clay soils of
he Piedmont region seem best
adapted for alfalfa production. Tho
reason for this is because thes e soils
aro either neutral or show very lit
tle acidity, which is unfavorable Cor
• he prcducton of alfalfa. Next to
the Piedmont reg.hn comes tb>;
brown and red soils t>f the Jime-
.tone areas of the northwest corner
of the state. Alfalfa has not been
grown with success in th 0 Coastal
palin area. Th s is probably due
to tho low mineral content of the
lop soil and the higli acidity of the
subsoils.
The main things in preparing land
for alfalfa are to eliminate all crab
grass and oth a r weeds, preserve a suf
ficient amount of moisture lor q'.iek
germination, end furnish a fail amount
of organic matter. To meet these re.
nuirements, a green crop of c ereal,
vetch and a clover should b e plowed
under in May or June, and the land
summer fallowed.
Liming has not been found to be
absolutely necessary in I he Piedmont
region, but it senis to be good fum
practice to us e lim e fairly liberally. In
the other sections of the state, the u-o
of lime is necessary to obtain a stand
and held It. An application of one
ton of limestone to the acre repeated
from three o I've years is recommend
ed. A heavier application is needed ort
soil types that are decidedly acid. On
mest so.ls of th e stat", alfalfa wil' ie-
apond to an application of phosphorus,
especially on the thinner soils. Acid
phosphate or Thoijias slag will give
Immediate r ‘suits. If rock phespkafe
is used, if should he applied a year or
two iu advance of the seeding.
Practically all the toils in Georgia
will need inoculation for alfafla. The
erciptlcns are whete sweet clover tr
bur clover hav e been grown. Inocula
tion can be accomplished ei‘h'‘r by
using tho soil from a suces3ful alfal
fa, sweet clover or bur clover, cr by
using the artificial culture. In using
so 1, 400 to pounds per acre may
b Q applied through the fertilizer 3ido
6' a grain drill. The soil shculd be
protected from the sun. The artificial
culture can be secured from the Let,
reau of Plant Industry, Washington.
D. C., the Goorgia State Department
of Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga., and from
seedsmen.
Fall seeding will give best results
under average conditions in Georgia
The alfalfa should b e seeded early
enough to become thoroughly estab
lished before fall. This will be some
where between September 15th, and
October 15th, in central-middle eUor-
gia. If seeded in the spring, between
March 1st and 15th, will be an aver
age period for best results. The
amount of seed to us e per acre will
vary with the condition of the land
and- weather conditions. Usualty from
20 to 30 pounds of seed per acre can
bo used tc advantage.
Young alfalfa plants often turn yd
low in the spring and practically cease
growth. Clipping, working with a liar,
row, or an aplication of nitrate of so
da will start afrtve growth again.
Twenty-live to fifty pound's of nitrate
of soda will uslaly be suflictent.
Alfalfa should be cut when the
shoots ar s well started at the base of
the plants. The hay is best cured in
the wind-row, swath or cock. This da-
creases shattering of leaves. Alfalfa
hay can be fed to good advantage to
work stock, dairy cattle, beef cattle
and brood sows.

SQUIRREL ATTACKS MAN
Vicious Animal Roams Woods Seeking
Whom He May Devour.
A vicious squirrel is roaming the
woods near Anderson, S. seeking
whom he may devour.
Tin* word of Frank Stone, motor-
man for the street car company here
was given for tin* truth of the state
ment.
Stone, going happily along to hit
work, taking no more than tlie usual
precaution against attack by squirrels
wus set upon by the animal, which
fustened its teeth in Stone's right eai
and enjoyed a nice breakfast. Stont
-sought to brush the squirrel away with
his hand, whereupon the animal coun
tered with a raid on Ms lingers, chew
lng several of them.
Stone dashed to police headquarter!
and reported his experience, but thi
police don’t know what to do about ii
except to go hunting. They suspeci
the squirrel lias rufil“s.
' Saw Pair of Bald Eaglet.
A pair of large bald eagles have heei
seen for several days about East Brad
ford township, near West Chester, Pa.
where they are tnklng many ehlckem
and ducks on the farms. Dr. M. B
Warren, an authority on such mutters
says the eagles take poultry in all sec
tions at the nesting seasons and It I:
supposed the pair are nesting. Docto
Warren believes they are the sunn
pair which committed similar depreda
tions a year ago.
Discounting the “Discount”
in Advance
You don’t have to be a shrewd bargainer to get the bottom price on
the new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord. ,
Instead of listing it at a high price, to enable the dealer to attract you
with a so-called “long discount,” we list it as low as we profitably can.
You can see from the figures below that its advertised price is lower
than the net price you are asked to pay for many “long discount”
tires of unknown value.
We believe the average man would rather buy tires on this frank and
open basis, and assure himself a product of recognized worth.
The new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord is made of high-grade
long-staple cotton, and it embodies the patented Goodyear method
of group-ply construction.
In design, materials and manufacture it is a representative Goodyear
product, built to safeguard the world-wide Goodyear reputation.
It has a different tread from the famous All-Weather Tread Cord—
a new tread with a deep, clean-cut, cog-like pattern—and it sells
for from 20% to 25% less.
You can get the new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord now, as well as
the famous All-Weather Tread Cord, from any of the Goodyear
Service Station Dealers listed here.
