At the crest of a crisis, who will

Of course, the test of success is
not what one learns, but rather the
use one makes of what is learned.
Knowledge, after all, is only the tool
of service, and the finest tool, how­
ever keen its edge, is useful only
when used. And that use in itself
must be useful, constructively help­
ful, not only to oneself but to oth­
ers. Thus the Columbia student, for
all his vast stock of varied knowl­
edge, may fall short of winning ad­
miration or even great respect un­
less the service he renders the world
is commensurate with the opportun­
ity that has been his.

Farmers’
Co-operative
IGURES Just obtained at the De­
partment of Agriculture show that
farmers’ co-operative organiza­
tions last year did a business of $375,-
714,660, against a little more than $60,-
000.000 In 1919. The figures for 1921,
It Is claimed, will show a tremendous
gain.
The farmers of the country are be­
ing led more and more toward business
methods In the marketing of their
crops. According to the reports of the
county agents of the Agricultural de­
partment, the farmers in the United
States have come to realize as never

Co-operative associations are In­
creasing rapidly in number and in­
fluence; recently they have attained
recognition by the Federal _ Reserve
board.
To the average city dweller, par­
ticularly those In the East, the ex­
tent of the work of county agents
in organizing farmers’ co-operatives
will be almost astonishing. Certain
business interests have criticized the
attitude of the department, but Its pol­
icy is that the farmers’ business edu­
cation must now be put on a par with
his education in production.
Last year 798 county agents assist­
ed In organizing co-operative enter­
prises. This was 61 per cent of the
total number of agents in the field.
The business done through these or­
ganizations, as stated, amounted to
$375,714,660. and the saving through
the co-operative form was $21,152,773.
The average business per agent was
$626,121, and the saving per agent was
$48,304.

of Parts.
There is a very close relationship
between projter care of the springs in
an automobile and the mileage which
the motorist receives from his tires.
Properly adjusted, well lubricated
springs will mean longer life to tires
and to the entire car, while cracked
or neglected springs will cause rapid
deterioration of engine, body and tires.
Many motorists believe that if they
make a cursory examination of the
tread and outer sidewalls of a tire
they are taking ample precautions
against undue wear and tire trouble.
Yet there are many other things to
which the average driver pays little
attention which have a direct bearing
on the service he gets from bis tires.
Harmful to Tires.
Improperly adjusted brakes, care­
less driving, overloading, underintla-
tlon and, last but not least, bad
springs will all strip dollars off the
tires every time the car is driven.
Springs are placed In a car not only
to make it more comfortable to ride
In, but also to take up a major pari
of the road shocks and prevent rack­
ing of the various parts. When there
is u shock, such as comes when a
wheel hits a rough spot in the road,
the tires get it first. Then follow
shocks to the wheels, axle, body, oc­
cupants and motor, with the springs
in between to take up as much as pos­
sible.
Spring« Need Lubrication.
When the springs fail to function
properly, all the shock has to be taken
up through tlie tires, both In the Ini­
tial shock and in the natural rebound.
Lubrication of the springs is not
difficult, and labor expended in this
tti6k will pay big returns. One of the
best methods is dismantling the
springs and lubricating them with
graphite grease. First remove all the
rust with an emery cloth. Another
method Is to lift the body of the car
on Jacks, and open the springs with a
cold chisel inserted between each leaf,
squirting oil and greases in freely.
A simpler method is to take an oil
can and run it along the depressions
in the springs, allowing the oil to flow
out freely, and then rocking the car
to open and close the leaves, working
them back and forth, permitting the
