FRS AUTO TURNS OVER
Drivers Last Sunday Afternoon
Had An Unpleasant
Experience

Sunday afternoon Fl Gordon
who manages the Crisman farm
east of town took the Misses
Crisman for joy ride, going to
Salisbury. Fl used to let the
girls drive his best horses years
ago and he adopted the same
rule with his jitney.
When returning from Sails
isbury and next the Weidy farm
going south, Miss Addie Crisman
was at the wheel and being in
structed in the art de chaueffeur
when the frisky Ford SHE'D TO-
wards the fence. Fl had one
hand on the wheel and his num-
Der 10 on the brake, and when
the machine started to go side.
wise he twisted the wheel the
wrong way and at the same
time forgot to come down on the
brake. The result was the same
as in all cases of the kind-the
auto went into the ditch and
tried to climb the embankment
at the wrong slant.
The car turned over on its
side, being sustained by the top,
which was up, from landing
bottom side up. The speed was
slow, hence the slide was short,
and the occupants, Misses Addie,
Amy and Ruth Crisman and Fl
Gordon came forth, not much
the worse for the experience for
none of them were in the least
injured except Miss Addie who
was at the wheel who sustained
a few inconsequential scratches.
Someone telephoned to Lee &
Rice of the mishap and they
were promptly on hand with a
aal..~N-~ ---an.a,4 taLinr- +hn-:~--
riders home and the slightly in
iured car back to their garage
for repairs.

Our Bridges

Every day it is more apparent
that some means must be en-
ployed to remedy the deplora-
BILE condition Of the bridge and
culyert system of the county.
There is not a section Of the
county, however small, which is
not badly in need Of attention in
this regard, and in many Sec
tions the crossings of the streams
and bitches is positively danger
GUS.
The County Court it is under
stood, has arranged to apply
SIS, 600 or $4,000 to the con-
struction of as many of the
worst needed bridges as it can
reach with that amount, but the
sum is already known to be pitt
ably short of a respectable be-
ginning.
Numbers of instances can be
cited showing that the neglected.
or the inability to pay for q
bridge which has been long con-
demned, has resulted in damage
to either property or as in some
cases. to severe injury to people.
To let people travel over unsafe
bridges is almost equivalent to
allowing them to sail on ships
liable to destruction in war ter
ritory. After notice of the dan.
ger the risk is all on the individ'
ual, of course, but if the matter
could be amended, it is up to the
authorities to close the way tc
adventures.

The Same Price Here

Everybody wants the town to
prosper. Its prosperity means
the higher value for property of
all kinds and a better commun.
ity in general. Possibly there
are a few things that you can
get elsewhere that you can't get
here but it is safe to say that
what you get here of standard
ize products and there are many
of these-you get at the same
price that you get elsewhere.
When you want the best goods,
get those with national advertis-
ment campaign behind them and
come here first. Your merchant
probably has them. Try at home
first. 1t is hard to appeal to the
patriotism of the people and the
only real appeals is to the pock-
etbook. There are standard ar
ticles that sell the world over for
a certain price, say, a dollar.
You can't get them cheaper any
where than $1.OO. Why pay
railroad fare and add this to your
bill when you can get the goods
goods for the same price here,
minus railroad fare and board.

AUTO TRUCKS ARE USED
IN SWISS MOUNTAINS
Maj. Hamburger of Army General
Staff Tells of Use Since
Mobilization.

A valuable addition has just been
made to the information being gathered
concerning the use of motor trucks for
war purposes by the Internal Gear
Drive Association of Detroit. This in
formation is in the form of a report
made in a letter from Mai. Hamburger
Of the Swiss general staff, and details
some of the experiences the Swiss army
has had in road transportation since
the outbreak of the war more than a
year ago. Switzerland has taken no
part in actual hostilities, but it will be
recalled that its army of more than
100000 splendidly trained men was mo-
bilized at the time the warning nations
took up arms.
Maj Hamburger says the Swiss gov
ernment al the time of mobilization.
had no particular leaning toward any
one type Of construction for army
trucks. but without prejudice brought
together vehicles with chain, internal
gear and cardan drive. OF these he
says:
: THE pinion Unternal gear) drive has
given by far the most satisfactory serv-
ice for light as well as heavy trucks
up to five tons capacity
Truck capacities come in for some
a.
Swiss army has been stationed largely
along the borders of the country where
the. mountains are continuous. While
roads are good, heavy grades are ever
present, and in commenting on the
work done, the report says:
For the mountains, three-ton trucks,
with comparatively heavy motors, for
y-ave-horsepower, and four-gear ratios
are provided. The trucks carry rs per
cent of a full load. and even on heavy
grades can maintain a speed of be-
tween nine and ten miles an hour"
So far as is known, Maj. Hamberger's
letter contains the first written report
by European general staff officer on
the use of trucks for war purposes to
reach this country. In addition to the
matters quoted. the letter gives many
little details of findings since the Swiss
mobilization, and these have been given
to the members Of the association and
engineers who are interested in the
use of internal-gear-drive axles for

BIG BUSINESS FIELD
NLAT|N AMERICA
Agent of American Firm Reports
Wonderful Opportunity for
Development of Trade.

There is a wonderful field for the
development of American business In
the Latin American countries" says
Carl Davidson Of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, who has just re-
turned from a visit to Central and
South America.
THE stoppage Of large part of Euro
pean business by the war has given
Americans an opportunity for business
development in these countries which
otherwise could not have been hoped
for inside of dfty years. These coun-
tries are becoming alive to the advan-
tages of automobiles both for pleasure
and trade, and while in Central Ameri-
ca and northern South America there
are not over a few hundred machines
in each country at this time, the Ameri-
can-made car is held in high regard,
and has won a permanent place in that
portion of automobiledom.
Works Under Handicap.
"a salesman from the United States
works under a handicap in these coun-
tries, as the business has long been
welded to Europe. The railroads and
most of the other business enterprises
are owned and controlled by foreign
capital, and naturally the supplies need
ed by them are purchased in Europe
Many purely local conditions must be
met before business houses In the Unit

Heavy vehicles. remarked one i'm

Americans had stepped in and he did
not see what could be done to prevent
it. He recognized that an increased
tariff would be unsatisfactory. On the
question of manufacturing in New Zea-
land he stated that the labor difficulty
was the cause of the nonactivity in
that direction. He believed in helping
those who helped US. There were large
motor firms in Canada, and we should
give their productions every oppor-
tunity and thus keep out the foreigner.
