Asa Walker 4-H Club A Strong Resolution By J. W. Henry 4 4 Bill Boggs liked his liquor better than a hog likes slop. Almost weekly Bill would go to town and get on a spree. After all the stores were closed and Bill was thoroughly soaked with whisky and beer he would mount his saddle pony and make a dive for home.

The pony knew the way and Bill would sit in the saddle almost asleep till he reached home. One night Bill came in a little late and rode into the barnlot. The stock in the lot became somewhat agitated by awkward maneuvers with the pony, trying to remove the saddle and bridle. Bill went down in the lot and the hogs began to nose him and the cows began to walk around and occasionally smell of Bill who lay there in the mud and water unable to move or make an alarm. One of the boys heard the noise in the barnlot.

He got a lantern and investigated the commotion. There lay Bill almost lifeless among the hogs. The whole family was aroused and Bill was carried to the house and put to bed. Next morning Bill arose and looked into the mirror and saw himself with mud in his hair and ears, his clothes stiff with dirt. get up.

I am sick and I am ashamed of myself. The money you gave me to buy food and clothing went for whisky, and here I am filthy and dirty as a hog. Now, Mary, will you please forgive me for what I have done? If you will, I shall promise you and these dear children of ours that I will never drink another The Asa Walker 4 Monday, June 26. at Miss Dorothy Akridge, their sponsor.

His family is happy and all the neighbors are proud of Bill Boggs. He stayed with his vow. SPEED EATS GAS, UPS COSTS THIRD Economy and safety go together in driving. Harold T. Hammond, prominent traffic engineer of the National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention department of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives, gives three outstanding examples of this rule.

I. Moderate speed saves wear and tear of the engine and reduces tire, gasoline and oil consumption. This is confirmed by careful estimates showing that on the basis of a journey the cost per mile for oil, gas, tires and maintenance is two and one-fifth cents at 45 miles an hour. When the speed goes up to 55 miles an hour the cost per mile mounts to three and three-tenths cents, or about one-third each hour saved costs over Death's Best Ally Moderate speed also tends to cut down accidents. Statistics show that high speed is the greatest single element in the toll of highway deaths.

Authoritative figures indicate, also, that the higher the speed the more serious the 40 to 49 miles an hour, one injury accident in 30 is fatal; but at 50 miles and faster, one injury accident in 13 is fatal. 2. Easy starts and stops save gas, tires and brakes. It has been figured that a flashy get-away uses up double the gas of an easy one, and that every time you stop on a dime you waste a worth of rubber. Easy starts and stops also help prevent collisions at intersections.

In cities, more than half of all injury ac- eidents occur at intoi'sections. Many of these are collisions between two vehicles unable to stop in and rcar-end smashes caused by sudden stops. Hence the driver who would avoid mishaps should take it easy at crossings. 3. Inspection of the car Ijefore a trip may save possible delays and breakdowns.

A charge of $15 for towing a disabled automobile five miles is not unusual, and this does not include the cost of repairs. By following these three moderate speed, easy starts and stops, and safe car traffic experts point out, the motorist will achieve the double purpose of saving money and avoiding, accidents.
