AUTO OF MANY KINDS MAKES
TRIP FROM FLA. TO H'vILLE
fst. petersburg. Fla., Times.l

ISL H6I6FSDuES, 1LeS.S 4AAACS'l
Will Ramm is looking for a name for
his new automobile and it-might be in
teresting to state that he is in a guam
Diary for he does not know how to
classify the machine, as he is required
to do in applying for a state license.
The reason he is losing so much sleep
over the momentous question is be-
cause the car has been constructed
from parts of other machines, relega-
ted to the scrap heap at the Ramm
garage. It was built by the owner,
himself and as staunch looking, good
looking, easy running car.
In looking about the garage Mr..
Ramm found numerous discarded parts
Of automobiles and then a happy
thought struck him. The new compo-
site car is the direct result of the pre-
viously mentioned thought.
The new automobile was constructs
ed of parts listed as follows: Buick
engine, Mitchell frame, Regal axles,
Ford wheels, Overland radiator, Max
well axle points, Hupmobile seats,
Flanders steering wheel, Studebaker
cam shaft, Abbott brakes, Chalmers
Va aim 4AOuh 0dhApOA
Haines fan, Olds pedals, Oakland dash
board, REQ diffeFential gear keys, home
made run board, and thousand and
one other parts picked out of the scrap
pile =. EAEf
After getting cit" put together in
running order Horace Farmer gave
sit" a few coats of paint and applied
the strips and other trimmings and
really it looks like the real thing.
What the builder of this unusual
benzine buggy really wants to know is
how he is going to get license to OPP
crate a machine built of so many dif-
ferent makes and types of cars.
1t is such substantial boat" that
he is going to drive his father Captain
F. w. Ramm, to Mountain Home, N. c.,
in short time. Mr.. Ramm will re-
main at Moutain Home for a month or
more but his son will return driving
''it'' home subjecting "it'' to another
severe test.

KEEP CHILDREN ON THE FARM.
But Don't Make Drudges of the Boys
and Girls.


But Don't Make Drudges of the Boys
and Girls.
In Farm and Fireside an Ohio wo-
man makes the following frank COM
ent on how to keep boys and girls on
farms
Don't get the idea in your head that
you must raise your children as you
were raised. Times have changed
since we were kids. and we must
change with them to make success in
life Give them all the education you
can afford. Don't think that because
you received only few years school
ing and got through life all right your
children can do the same.
above all, don't make drudge out
/ of the boy or girl, working them from
! morning till night, never stopping to
think that they are not strong enough
for the amount of work you are com
polling them to do. Most men won't
put a colt to work until it is old
enough to stand it. and then do so by
easy stages; but parents turn right
around and put the boy to working 9
full day long before he is able to do so
1t seems strange that some men have
more consideration for colt than fol
/ their own children. Many fathers see
in their boys way to help them save
and grasp all they can, and never think
of the boys pleasure or comfort. Is i
any wonder, then he gets tired of stay
ing at home and branches out for him
iself? Generally the parents blame the
boy. They never stop to think tina
had they treated the boy right ht

Asheville, Aug. 6.-Receiving a let
ter this morning to the effect that he

and the latter placed deputies at the
place mentioned, who arrested Ed

The letter received by Mr.. Lance to-
day was the second communication OF

warehouse was burned with loss Of
$4,000
Officers were stationed today at the
point where the letter directed that the
money be left and Frady was arrest

Mer. Lance. The prisoner, however,
maintains that he has no knowledge of
rthe Matchmaking scheme and the de-
.struction of the warehouse. stating
:, that he was. passing the point on his
vway to the home of neighbor.
The prisoner was brought to Ashe-
willie and placed in the Buncombe coun-
sfy Jail, pending the arrangement OF
..iate for his preliminary hearing. On
scers left tonight with the announced
intention of conducting further In
vestigation in the hope of ascertainine
whether other arrests can be made in
connection with the case.

WILLIAM THAW. AMERICAN Avl--.-y
AToR SHOWS GREAT DARING.

Paris, Aug. 4.-William Thaw, OF
Pittsburgh, who is serving as an avia-
tor in the French army, has just re-
ceived his third citation in the orders
of the day. He has been detailed to the
dangerous work Of locating and OBJ
serving German batteries often situat-
ed two or three miles behind the first
line
Recently while flying low, one shell
broke Immediately beneath his ma
chine. 1t is the Germans custom to
fire three'test shells to locate an av1a-
tors range. AS soon as the first shell
broke Thaw imediately started to rise,
and then dive, in order to avoid the
two ensuing shells. His lieutenant OBJ
server ordered him to keep straight
ahead at the same level, as otherwise
he could not make accurate calcula.

ploded but short distance IN front Of

hind. A piece of shrapnel carried
away a portion of the tail and for a
moment the machine appeared lost.

Thaw soon succeeded in righting it, re-

General commanding the division who
witnessed the feat, asked to be pre-
scented to the aviator as he wisher to
compliment him. Thaw was immedi-
ately brought before the General, who

GOODNESS and promised him that his

BIG crops AND PROSPERITY.

merchants in Chicago From Many
Points Tell Same Story.
Chicago Dispatch to N. Y. Times.)
With the arrival in Chicago of null
titude of merchants from the South the
Southwest, the West, and the Middle
West for the celebration of Chicago
Week" an annual event designed for
the purpose of bringing buyers to the
marts of this city, a spirit of optimism
peryaded the wholesale merchandising
districts, for practically all the visitors
brought tidings of bounteous crops and
increasing prosperity. individually
the buyers declare that prosperity is
galloping back to the agricultural
Central West, which has never been as
much affected by the war as other
parts of the country.
Merchants are laying in big stocks
in preparation for a remarkable trade
in the fall after the, harvest. The de-
mand on wholesalers for that class ot
goods known as luxuries has been un-
usually heavy.
"The South is booming" said
I Charles McNeal of the MeNeal & Ed
Wards Co., Gainesville, Tenn, today
1t is in for one of its greatest eras o.
prosperity. / am so sure OF 1t that
am buying more heavily than for years
past. The cotton situation has done
more good than harm in the long run.
While the territory which we serve
Immediately is not cotton country, still
Il know from wholesale establishments
in my city that the South as whole,
is buying more than it has for some
years"
Crops are simply magnificent in the
Far Northwest" said H. Clayburgh OF
Spokane, Wash, who distributes shoes
over the States of Montana, Washing
ton, and Idaho. Montana has the
greatest grain crops in its history, and
the crops in the orchard sections OF the
three States could not be better. Grain,
of course, will bring high prices, but
the shutting off of the export demand
may lower the profits of the fruit
growers. There is continued dizziness
in the lumber industry, due mostly to
lack of ships to carry the products OF
the forest, but the merchants are buy
ing more freely than for some time,
replenishing their depleted stocks, and
apparently are more confident than
have ever before seen them"
North Dakota is just getting ready
to harvest the biggest wheat crop Ill
its history" said J. B. Mills of Bis
marck "There- isn't blemish on the
crop anywhere in the State, and moth
ing but hail can harm it now. Prices
are high, and the whole State will be
more prosperous than ever before"
