SUCCESSFULLY
USED IN A SPEEDING CAR

Tho average business man who
prizes the dictaphone as a marvel of
time-saving and efficiency, and who
appreciates the delicacy of its con-
struction, may find it difficult to be-
lieve that the instrument has been sue
cessfully used in a speeding automo-
bile.
Yet that is precisely what was done
in logging the route of a run of 122
miles near ST. Louis. Mo. In this in
stance the dictaphone took the place of
the laborious writing of notes bearing
on landmarks, dangerous crossings
grades, sharp turns, etc.
After several trials, and before the
pathfinding run was actually begun, 1t
was found that the 1914 Cadillac was
best fitted to carry the dictaphone and
permit of its use while underway. The
instrument was placed in the tonneau
and the notemaker sat In front beside
the driver, the tube from the dicta-
phone being carried over his shoulder
The practicability of the Cadillac two
speed axle In promoting smoothness
and steadiness in running was admir-
cbly demonstrated on the trip, and al
though the dictaphone was in constant
use while the car was running, not a
single record was narred by vibration.
For the purpose of route making this
experiment proved that the dictaphone
is far superior to the ordinary method
of making written notes. for the record
is complete and clear, practically be-
cause of the difficulty of writing leg
IDLY or rapidly in moving automobile.

1t has been estimated that

Our schools open the latter part
of September, but many faith

their sons out from four to six

come they find themselves be-

country schools run only ak or
seven months. If you do not
send your children from the
very beginning of the term,
how can they acquire an edu-
cation so necessary in this day?
1t may mean more work for
You or the expenditure of a few
dollars for hired help; but send
your children to school. We
hope the day will come in Vir-
ginia when every man will be
ashamed to keep his children
out of the schools when they
are open for the education of
the boys and girls.

The Potash Famine
And The Way Out.

The worlds supply of potash
is obtained from Germany, and
with this source of supply now
cut off by the European war,
there will inevitably be a fam
Inc of this material as soon as
present stocks are exhausted.
According to the Wall Street
Journal, the price has already
advanced from &c to loo per 10.
Potash is essential to plant
growth and is one of the three
constituents of complete fer
tilizer; the other two being
phosphorus and nitrogen. Enor-
nous quantities are used an
nualIy by the farmers of this
country and this famine bids
fair to be n serious matter TO
our agricultural interests.
There is, however, a way out
available to the large proper
ton of farmers. Almost all
soils contain potash; most con-
tain enough for all present
plant requirements, while some
contain large excess beyond
these requirements. AS a rule,
however, the potash is in insol
uble combinations which rem
der it unavailable, or at least,
only very slowly available To
plants. IL the store of potash
in the soil could be made avail
able as needed, it would be
many years before the average
farmer would have to worry
about the price of potash ferti
lizer and the source of his sup.
ply. Fortunately, an agent i.
at hand to accomplish this re
suit.

TERRIFIC RAIN
AND WINDSTORN
CAUSES DAMAGE
Trees Blown Down By Heavy Wind
and Streets Flooded BY
Downpour

A terrific thunderstorm. accom-
panied by a heavy wind, which
broke about 4:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, played havoc in and
around Cairo Within a few min
utes after the downpour had started,
cutters were oyerfowing, in some
places flooding the streets.
The wind blew at the rate of SO
miles an hour and blew down num-
Der of trees. The telephone COM
panies experienced considerable
trouble with their wires following
the storm which extended as far
north as Villa Ridge. Several auto
parties from Cairo were caught in
the rain and in several instances had
to cut away fallen trees to clear the
road.
Excursionists and picnic parties
we're thoroughly drenched as many
of them had started early to take ad-
vantage of the clear, warm day, and
were caught without protection.
The rain was one of the heaviest
of the year, 1,3S inches being re-
corded by the weather bureau.
The Gentry Shows circus, at Twen-
tieth street and Commercial avenue
had difficulty in saving some of their
monkeys when the water began
creeping up in the hollow wherein
they have pitched the tents for the
show to be given this week. Some
of the monkeys were at first re-
ported drowned.
The downpour lasted for an hour
but rain continued falling intermit-
tently until late at night.
