OLD LEWIS HUNTER ..... , HANDMADE KENTUCKY A BOURBON A FOR 78 YEARS $1.95 Quart I KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY _Wm. Jameson ft Co. Inc., N.T.C. ? 90 Proof TODAY a?d [PARKER I flDCKBRIDOE Al'TOMOBILES . . . America The ordinary American, accus tomed to seeing a constant proces sion of motorcars passing over i every highway, seldom stops to realize that this automobile pa rade is one thing we in America have which no other people in the world possess. Out of 43 million' cars owned in the whole world, al- : most 30 million of them are in "use in America. In all Of Europe there are fewer ; than ten million cars. Asia, with its enormous populations in India, China and a dozen other countries, owns only 666 thousand automo biles, and the whole African con tinent has still fewer. Canada and the Latin American nations to gether have but 2 1-4 million cars. } ,Why? The answer is easy. This i country is so rich that practically J everybody can own a car. Gasoline ' is so cheap that people can afford | to run cars. Europeans pay from ' 40 cents to a dollar a gallon for gas, and that alone puts motoring out of the working man's reach, t even if he could afford to buy a car. No wonder other nations envy us, and want us tp mix up in their i quarrels so they can get some of our wealth away from us. RIGHTS ..... Connecticut The most important part of the Constitution of the United States, as I understand it, is the "Bill of Rights," which comprises the first ten amendments. That is the part of the Constitution which guaran tees freedom of speech, of worship, ' of assembly and petition, and oth er rights we have enjoyed so long we think everybody must have tbem. Several states refused to ratify i the Constitution as submitted in^ 1787 until they got pledges that' such a Bill of Rights would be ad-j ded to it. Connecticut ratified it, though, because the Nutmeg State already had a Bill of Rights in Its own | Constitution. Alone among all the states, however, Connecticut never ' got around to ratifying those first ten amendments, until just now. A couple of weeks ago Connec-j ticut acted in accordance with its own ancient Bill of Rights, adopt ed in 1650, by ratifying the part of the Constitution to which it had never before pledged adherence. But since all the other states were eo pledged, Connecticut bad been bound by it as well as the others. And that's something else Am erica has that most of the world hasn't ? a guarantte of personal, I 1 human rights which no govern jment may infringe. FINGERPRINTS . . . voluntary! The President asked the mem bers of his White House staff re cently to have the Department of Justice make a record of all their fingerprints, He said he bad been fingerprinted when he was Aaslst and Secretary of the Navy, aud be thought every Government em ployee and everybody else ought to have his fingerprints on record. That has started a wave of vol untary fingerprinting all over the country. I think it is a good thing, for many reasons, so long as it is voluntary. I would put up an aw ful holler if Government tried to compel me to be fingerprinted. Persons accused of crime are compelled to record their finger prints. Finger-print marks on wea pons have often aided in identify ing criminals, although police of ficials say that not one pistol in thousands will show fingerprints. There has been talk of requir ing everybody to be fingerprinted, and the prints filed in Washington. It seems to me that the right to maintain one's identity a personal secret is one of the things which the Bill of Rights guarantees. MULES ........ Vifluable There is something about a mule which has always made that cross between a mare and a Jack ass rather an interesting animal to me. I was glad to see by a recent re port of the Department of Agricul ture that the number of mules is , increasing in the United States. j There aren't many o_t' them in New England, where I was born, but I began to get acquainted wjth mul es when my folks moved to Wash ington when I was ten. Mules. Secretary Wallace says, i are worth more than horses. There | are only 4,382,000 mules, but; they are worth an average of $lt8 j each, as compared with the aver age value of $84 for the ten mil lion work horses. That makes the mule the most valuable of all domestic animals. |i Cows average $56, hogs $11, sheep about $5 and chickens on the farm only about 70 cents a head. One of the reasons why I like I mules is that they pull their own weight without complaining, | which is a useful trait in animals as well as people. They eat frugal-! ly. live long and earn their way in the world better than horses do. i HEIGHTS safely ; An airplane flying Ave miles j above the earth would he invisible from below. Its greatest difficulty would be the absence of oxygen in the thin air so high above ground. The engftes would not work a?d pilot and passengers could not hrpnthp i Rut if flying could be done at that height it would be free from many of the dangers closer to grouud and probably could make greater speed than anyone has yet flown. It would be high above all weather disturbances. The problem of supplying oxy gen for sub-stratosphere flights has practically been solved. Pas- : sengers and pilots wear rubber masks connected with an oxygen tank, which also supplies oxygen to the engine. So equipped, a plane carrying ten men and a woman re- ' cently made a flight from Minne apolis to Boston at a height of 23,000 feet all the way. HOSTESS TO fTTU Miss Lucy Timberlake enter tained the members of her Cbn tract club and a number of guests Friday afternoon. High score prize for club mem bers was won by Miss Elizabeth Timberlake and top score for visi tors was compiled by Mrs. R. C. Beck, Jr. The hostss served a sweet course with nuts.

Firing oi the edges of the leaves, lodged plants, poor yields, and chaffy ears result when corn cannot get the potash it needs. For every bushel of good quality com. the soil and fertilizer must supply at least 1 lb. of potash. z If you did not apply enough of this plant food in your fertilizer at planting, there is still time to add more. Successful growers use 100-200 lbs. of a nitrogen-potash side-dresser per acre at the second cultivation or when the corn is about knee high. Consult your county ^gent or experiment station about the fertility of your soils. See your fertilizer dealer about a nitrogen-potash side-dresser lor higher yields and better quality corn. You will be surprised how little the extra potash costs.
