ries from members OF the union

Tho Lynchburg ONCE is filling a
long felt want. NE said. and is prov
ing OF assistance to- the farmers by
serving as an Information bureau
and putting them In touch with deal
ers who are in position to supply
their needs.
The operation Of this bureau, said
Mr. Blankenship. IL not generally
known to the members of the union,
and 1t 10 planned to mail out circu-
lar letters next week to the 10000
farmers who are identified with the
organization. informing them OF the
object Of he office, which was Gre
ated last month at the annual con-
vention In Roanoke, and which takes
the place OF the regular business
agent.
The farmers, Mr.. Blankinship says.
are now deeply interested in fertii-
iKer and inquiries are coming In by
every mail. This IL q season wsaen
they need fertilizer, and the market
Is demoralized on account OF the
embargo IN potash by the German
Government. Fertilizer. he said. il

year, and the farmers find 1t hard
to become satisfied with the increase.
They want to know from weiom to
buy this farm necessity. and IL Is one
OF the functions of the business Of

dealers who are engaged in the zen
tiiizer business.

bers the Importance OF diversfying
their occupation this year, advising
them to cut down their acreage or
tobacco and go in for ouher products
that can oe successfully raised on
the farms. Farmers located In sec
tIons where tobacco was grown al
most exclusively are in bad way,

ports It seems that weed of choice

Biggest List of Grid Mate rial in History of P. U. II. $. Expected on Coyote Grounds for Pra c tic e Next Week

Things are not at all hopeless over in the High School football field Phoenix High will own classy bunch of Coyotes this season, or else all prognostications are off Geory has had the squad out twice for hard work, and the material looks good
 But better than the appearance of any particular bunch of makings is the size of the squad. Thursday, there were twenty-eight candidates for the work out, and by next week. there will be at least seventy five out. This will be the largest squad in the history of the school.
 It is especially pleasing to the hard hearted coach that there is a large list of candidates. He will have a range of choice that he never had be- fore in this institution. And if he could build sassy team out of a few

Several of the leading entries drop ped out during the first 200 miles Bob" Burman was the first of those to be eliminated. He withdrew after holding first position for nearly thirty miles.
 One of the surprises of the race was the withdrawal of Dario Resta whose French car shot into the lead early in the contest. A broken oil pump forced his withdrawal at the end of 51 laps He held fourth place at that time.
 Ralph Mulford dropped out after laundering around the oval LIS miles A broken spring was the couse of his slowing down and a defective valve put him out of the running.
 After a terrific spurt which placed him in second position, Ralph De Pal ma was forced out of the running at the 190 mile point. by engine trouble. He was another strong favorite today.
 After the first 100 miles Anderson and Cooper pushed into the lead and gradually widened the distance between their cars, and those of the closest competitors, and for the next three hundred miles the lead see sawed be- tween the two. slssA

kids last year and the year before he can certainly make something out of this gang.
 Geary is planning on two finely balanced teams-each complete with backfields. Until just before the first few regular championship games no body will be exactly selected as a first team man. Every player who tries his darnedest, and shows any class at all will have a chance at his letters. When the time comes to pick a mess of athletes to uphold the honor of the school, Geary will line up the best he can find, and stick in back of them the best quartet of backfield men de- veloped up to that time. Then there will be a reserve back field, composed of fast men, just a shade less aggres- sive or effective than the first choice squad. And all these men, with their subs, will be called first team material
 The Coyotes this season will have weight in their favor. The line may avarage as high at 160 pounds. when the coach gets some of the huskies damned into shape.
 Practices next week will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. starting at siX-thirty each evening.

Phoenix Rifle Club Wins
 Second In National Shoot

when they learned ihe news was right vigorous. Phoenix shot team score of 22S9, two points above it's nearest competitor. except for the Angelenos, who scored 2294. The failure of the Phoenicians is directly attributable to the off days experienced by two of the local marksmen. Each had shot 230 to 236 in practice a day or so before the meet, but their scores on that Sunday were 225 and 22I, respec- lively. This hurt the score to the extent of at least twenty points, which would have put the PhOeni- clans so far above the winners that no team in the contest could have helped blushing. In the west the Phoenix rifle club is recognized as one if not THE best shooting punches of soldados at present en- gagged in the pastime.
 The crack -shots who participated in the shoot:
 Tom Cooper, John Mullen. Claud Shamkart. Garland White, Juan Ochoa. c. V. Gulley. Jack Linville, Tom Edens Lorenzo Boido. Frank Behr.

Warren McArthur, of McArthur Brothers, and F. !. Chapman, are leaving this morning for the south of the state in c. w. F'ullers big Mer- cedcs, the Kaiser" on a combined business trip and joy ride. They aim to be recognized wherever they go, as the car is one of the most notice able in these parts. Its color combi- nation of blue with orange wheels and stripping, and it's sizes and luxurious ness, make it one of the sights of local motordom.
 The car was the last to be imported from the Daimler factory in Germany before the war. Fuller just did man. age to get it over before trade ave- nues were closed It is similar to the car in which Ralph De Palma won the Indianapolis race last May.

more comfort and conveniences than the railway berth.
 This compartment also contains a writing desk with Gypsy Van" sta tionery, a library and Victrola. Fold ing steps used in reaching the upper deck are convertible into a tea or card table, and there is also a folding din ing table which can be stored away against the ceiling of the rear compart- ment.
 On the upper deck are large lock CTS for guns, fishing tackle and com missary supplies sufficient for two weeks, several folding chairs and di- vans with mattresses for outdoor sleep ing. One locker contains a motorcycle which can be lowered by means of crane.
 One of the most interesting features of this remarkable car is it's easy ar engagement for converting it into veritabIe camp when the owner wants to stop for the night or for hunting fishing. This is done by raising the top and side curtains for the upper deck and letting out awnings on either side. This protects the main body from sun and rain without closing the win dows A searchlight makes it complete.
 Other novel features are a water fil- ter connection with the ice box and a complete electrical equipment of lights. fans, vacuum cleaner and a drill, em- cry wheel and soldering iron.

A unique and original type of motor vehicle has just left New York for San Francisco. The owner calls it a gyp- sy van, but it might also be designated as a land yacht. Roland R. Conklin of New York and Huntington, l.. l., is the owner and is making the transcon- tinental trip with his family.
 Last spring MT COnklin decided to visit the Panama Pacific exposition and conceived the idea of crossing the continent in an automobile which would provide living as well as travelling fla cilities. His idea was to design a car that would have every comfort pro- vided by private Pullman and yet be able to travel over any ordinary coun- try road. Instead of being obliged to lie in noisy smoky railroad yard in a Pullman, he could stop and camp in any attractive spot fancy suggested.
 As speed was no special object, a comparatively small motor of sixty horse power could be used. especially geared for power, that it might climb any mountain grade. Canvas strips must be provided for going over sand. As there might be unbridged streams to be crossed, it must carry a knock down portable bridge and a winch that could be operated by the motor-strong enough to pull the car out of a ditch or mudhole Nc vehicle had ever been attempted on such a scale, but MT. Conklin was satisfied one could be built, and he finally evolved the most novel motor car in existence.
 The body of this land yacht is mounted on a truck chassis of the mo- tor omnibus type with. such changes as were found necessary. The inside dimensions of the body are 21 feet in
