u. S. Furnishes the
World With Automobiles

During the year ending June
30, 1914, American manufact-
urers shipped %, ,306 pleasure
autos, 784 commercial trucks and
a large amount of auto parts to
foreign countries. The COM
bined value of these exports was
approximately $43, 200, 900, accord
ing to a report issued by the De-
partment of Commerce. Prac-
tically every country on the
globe bought American made
autos last year. The exports to
European countries were 13, 357
cars, North American countries
took 5, 488, the rest going to
South America, Africa and Asia.

Durn 1t All!

The Regional Reserve banks
opened the other day and float
ing around the country some
where are about four hundred
millions of dollars in emergency
currency-that is, if we have
the dope right. That would
make about four dollars for
every man, woman and child in
the country. All this is in addi-
ton to the money that was al
legged to be in circulation before
the regional banks opened. Now
we have been locking forward
to the release of all this money,
expecting that we would, of
course, get our four dollars.
But where is it? We said moth
ing about this last week because
we wanted to give William Nc
Adoo and Paul Warburg a chance
to get on their feet and attend
to the distribution.
But several days have gone
by and yet there is nothing do
ing. This places us in an en-
barrassing position. We had
learned that the Rock Island
Railway was to have been put
up for sale at auction and we
expected to be able to buy it.
Now look at the hole we are in!
Any day they may decide to
put up the railway and here we
without our four dollars.

Financial Benefits
of a State Militia

AS a money maker for the
town the National Guard is not a
poor proposition. In addition to
it's benefits in the line of physical
development, training in the use
of the rifle, and in discipline, the
National Guard Company is a
good dividend payer to the town
that will give it the moral sup
port required to retain the organ
ization.
For example: With Company
F as a full Company and we
need sixteen more men to COM
plete the company organization
the monthly allowance from the
State for necessary expenses
and enlistment purposes will be
$4,000 per month. In addition
to this wes have the Armorer's
allowance of $4,000 per quarter
annum. That will make the to-
tai allowance per month $1,000
or $840. 90 per year.
Now in addition to this is the
payment of the men attending
camp each year. Say there are
only 35 of the IS who attend
camp, and that the camp is only
for ten days. That would mean
$50 days a t $1.5O per day, or
$525.0 90. BY adding this and the
yearly allowance, we get $1365. 90
as the minimum dividend paid in
to a town by one company. In
this statement the minimum
number of men has been used in
the statement O f camp pay.
Suppose that instead of 35 men
we take to camp 80 men. That
means $50 days more or $225. 90
additional. We have not con-
sidered the amount paid into the
town thru t h e transportation
companies and if there are not
local companies, that is the fault
of the townspeople-which would
amount to more than $4,000 each
year.
This brings up the total to
s169O per year from the COM
pany. Isn't a proposition Of

TAYLOR WINS BASEBALL
GAME FROM SNOWFLAKE

A baseball team came down
from Taylor last Friday after
noon and walloped a team of
Snowflake players to the solemn
music of IA to 9. Neither team
had had any practice but the
game proved interesting never
theless. A. G. McCloskey, of
the Forest office, started in to
pitch for the locals and proved
a query to the visitors for sew
eral innings, but Mac didn't
want all the honors. so relin-
quished the job to Ranger Virgil
Smith, who once upon a time
had great big name as twirl-
er. Both did good work in the
box considering, etc. The vet
eran catcher, Charley Ballard,
was behind the bat for Snow
flake and played his part to per-
fection, although he got real
mad once at a hound dog which
interfered with him while after
a foul fly. Prof. Gibbons dished
out the ball for Taylor and had
perfect control and is a heady
pitcher. He was a regular Ty
Cobb at the bat and it seemed
to please him to lam out the
ball for the fielders to play with.
Arch Jensen received the pro-
fessor's offerings and succeeded
in doing the work we'll, but his
was not Arch's first appearance
behind the bat, consequently he
knew what he was doing. Frank
McLaws sacrificed himself to
umpire the game but was never
killed once. Quite a crowd wit
messed the game, several from
Taylor being present to cheer
up their boys.

An Ancient House
Built Without Nails

A specimen of the architectu-
raj a n d building abilities of
George Washington is a brick
house still standing, in good re-
pair, which was built by the
father of his country in 1890 at
Glasgow, Barren county, Ken
tuck, although it was in Fairfax
county, Virginia, when it was
built. The building is a resi-
dence constructed by General
Washington for the use OF his
cousin, Gen. Spotteswoode, who
was governor of Virginia at that
time. Gen. Spotteswoode w a S
by nature of a very retiring dis
position, and later became a re-
cluSe.
The walls are of solid brick,
thirty-six inches thick, and the
floors are of hardwood, tw O
inches thick, made Of chesnut
and laid with dowel pins. The
original roof was hand-drawn
chestnut shingles, one-half inch
thick, and fastened with wooden
pins.
There is not a single nail in
the entire building, for nails
were not manufactured at that
time. The glass used in the
building wss imported f r o m
France, as none was made here,
and many of the original panes
are still doing duty, but the ac-
ton of the weather has had the
effect of wearing them away,
until they are now little thicker
than a sheet of paper.

IN AGRICULTURE
The Census Bureau Issues Interesting
Statistics Showing Part Negro
PLAYS in Farm Industry.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-The CEN
sus bureau has just completed re-
port dealing with the American negro
and showing the part he plays in the
agricultural industry of this nation.
The figures contained in the bulletin
show there were 9,828,0O0 negroes
in the United States in 1910, which is
a gain of II per cent during the past
decade.
Three-fourtbs of all the negroes in
the United States live on farms and
only one-fourth dwell in the cities.
There are $4,000 negro farmers in
the United States, and $4,000 of
them are tenants. The value of prop
erty operated by negroes farmers is
$1,144,181 900 for the entire nation,
and increased more than twO-fold
during the past ten years. The total
number of negroes engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits in the country is
1857, 900. Thirty per cent of the
negro population of the United States
is unable to read or write, but the
percentage of illiteracy among this
class of population has decreased IA

THE CALUMET BAKING POW
DER COMPANY BUYS COTTON

The Southern states are indeed
fortunate that some of the big pro-
gressive business houses Of the coun-
try are taking such an active interest
in the ''buy bale" movement.
The Calumet Baking Powder Co.,
manufacturers of the most pop
ular brand of baking powder in the
state, are backing up their belief in
the Souths ability to rapidly re-
cover from any temporary business
setback by purchasing for each one
of their representatives in the af-
fected states one bale of middling
cotton. Some of the statesmen of this
company have also purchased bales
on their own responsibility.
Every salesman carries a receipt
for one or more bales with him, and
also wears a "buy-a-bale" button.
It's such a boosting, pulling, push
ing spirit that overcomes a condition
which 25 years ago would have held
this section in its grasp for many
months-perhaps years.
1t is certainly the right plan to use
up-to-date business methods to com
bat unnatural conditions, and the
Calumet Company is using its
brains" and money to help set
things Alright.
Although they can expect no big
returns from these investments still
they shall not be the loser in any
case, because the people of the South
are appreciative and shall not forget
the cooperation and support of the
Calumet Baking Powder Co. in the
existing stringency.
Better times are just ahead of us.
/ Nay they insure better and greater
business than ever for Calumet.
