aged seventy years, one month
and a few days.
He was born in Sevier county,
Tennessee, Oct. 28, 1849; came to
Madison county, Alabama, in
1870. There on Dec. 11, 1879,
he was united in marriage to

1900 Miss Ruth Solomon. To
this union were born four daugh-
ters, Estalee, Edyth, Eva and

Ho was laid to rest in the fam-
ly lot at the Perryman cemetery

THE UNIVr.RSM. CAR
Let There Be No Discord.
If you Ford car is out of tune, there is undoubt-
edly a good reason for it. And the best way to
find that reason and have it remedied, is to drive
to our authorized Service station where one of our
mechanics who knows the Ford way to adjust and
repair Ford cars, can tune it up in a shop that is
properly equipped to give Ford service. Then,
too, we use only Genuit • Ford-made parts. They
wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent
longer than the counterfeit parts.
We are a part of the gigantic Ford service organ-
zation; we have more than a passing Interest in
your car. Prompt service is given on all work
Drive in and see for yourself. There’s tco much
money invested in your Ford car to miss connec
tions with the authorized Ford dealers.
Rules Governing Public Weighers.
Rule No. 1. —All scales or
weighing devices used by Public
Weighers must be of standard
type, must be in good condition
and kept so at all times. Cheap
or inferior scales or weighing
devices cannot be kept in good
condition for any length of time.
Rule No. 2.—Unequal arm bal-
ances or so called cotton scales
must not be used after pivots be-
come “dull” or worn so they will
not readily break on one pound.
Rule No. 3.—Grease or oil
must never be used on the pivots
of equal arm balances or plat-
form scales. It serves no pur-
pose except to permit the accu-
mulation of sand and dirt on the
pivots and bearings, which will
result in incorrect weighing and
hastens the wear of the pivots.
Rule No. 4. —All scales or
weighing devices must be kept
under shelter so as not to be ex-
posed to the weather. No weigh-
ing device can be kept in good
condition when constantly ex-
posed to rain, or intense heat of
the sun. All platform scales
must be kept free of dirt and
trash at all times. The pit un-
derneath the platform or scales
must be cleaned out at regular
intervals and kept clean.
Rule No. 5.—All public weigh-
ers must use the receipt pre-
scribed by the Commissioner of
Markets and Warehouses under
Section 8 of the Public Weigher’s
Law and must affix on each certif-
icate issued by him the seal pre-
scribed in Section Oof the law.
Rule No. 6. —Each certificate
of weight issued by a public
weigher must state the number
of the receipt which should be a
consecutive number, give the
date, name of the party for whom
weighed, the number, kind, or
quantity of produce weighed, the
gross, tare and net weight of
same, the vessel, railroad, car,
wagon, or other means by which
same was received. No other
certificate except the one pre-
scribed by this department can
be used.
After the public weigher has
stated in the weight certificate
the correct and accurate weight
of the commodity that is weigh-
ed, as shown by the scales, he is
further directed to state, under
proper heading, the condition of
same, whether the cotton or oth-
commodity received for weight
at the time it was weighed, was
green, wet, normally dry or dam-
aged, and shall state under the
proper heading his opinion of the
amount in pounds such commod-
ity should be docked by reason
of excess moisture, at the time
of weighing.
Public weighers, cotton buy-
ers and exporters, at a meeting
held in Austin, Tex., on Septem-
ber 4, 1919, decided that it should
be the duty of the public weigh-
er to suggest the amount of ex-
cess moisture contained in any
bale of cotton weighed by him.
This department approved this
recommendation, and instructs
you in accordance with same, as
outlined above.
Rule No. 7. — Where public
weighers maintain a cotton yard
and charge storage for cotton
left with them they should issue
a yard receipt in addition to the
prescribed weigher’s certificate
The State Certificate of weight
should follow the article weigh-
ed, and should not be surrender-
ed when article is removed from
the place of weighing.
Rule No. 8.—All weighing
must be done on a level beam
and not on a "rising” or "fall-
ing” beam. Your soale is a bal-
ance and unless it balances per-
fectly the result will be incor-
rect
Rule No. 9.—When any bale of
cotton is
, least forty eight hours after be-
| ing weighed.
Rule No. 10.—No public weigh-
er must permit any one to molest
or mutilate any bale of cotton
while temporarily in his posses-
sion. This is one of the condi-
tions of the Public Weigher’s
bond.
These rules shall become ef-
fective at once.

houses of Texas.

WHEN BRICKS COST LITTLE
Not So Very Long Ago They Were
Sold in England at Four
for a Penny.
Bricks at four a penny would be fl
great boon just now when so many
new houses are required, and it is
interesting to recall that bricks were
manufactured and sold at the rate of
a pound a thousand by the Lanca-
shire borough council a few years
ago, London Answers states.
These bricks were made from
clinkers at the refuse destroyer,
mixed with a little lime. They were
not suitable for faring, however, but
only for the inner walls.
Bricks in popular use are made
from various substances—from soft
day to hard, rocklike shale, and
even waste slate which is first pow-
dered. Bricks of the deepest red
hue nre said to contain the largest
proportion of iron.
Blue bricks are made from the
same substance as red bricks, by con-
trolling in a peculiar way the supply
of air in firing.
A suggestion has recently' been
made that bricks should be made
larger on the assumption that they
would he cheaper in bulk that way.
and that a somewhat larger brick
could be laid as easily and quickly
as one of the standard size.
The Tribune is $1.50 a year.
