TWENY.ElGHT YEARS AGO.
An Old Copy Of The Harrison Times
Preserved BY One of Our Old
Readers.

One of the Times subscribers who
has complete file of the paper for
the past twenty-eight years brings us
copy of September 8, 1888, which
would represent the date of this
weeks issue twenty eight years ago
1t is quite surprising how much a
little country paper will tell inciden-
tally of the times and people. When
this issue was printed Cleveland was
president and Hughes governor of
Arkansas. d. A. Eoff was sheriff and
H. C. Upton register of the land Of
| flee.
The Harrison schools were in
charge of Prof. T. F. Albright, as
sisted by Charles A. Watson. A Cum
berland Presbyterian High School was
also in course presided over by Prof
Ben F. McMahan, now a we'll known
attorney. The trustees of this school
were j. d. Tyson, j. w. Story, H. L.
Routh, w. F. Pace and H. C. Upton.
The merchants of the town, as
shown by the advertising columns.
were: Phillips & Baker, C. F. Har-
ris, Penn Bros, j.. O. Nicholson and
w. F. Gordon, general merchandise;
G. C. Rhodes, hardware; T. W. John
SON. furniture; w. J. Bobo, Watkins &
Coffman and j. j. Johnson, druggists;
Reynolds, Gardner & Co., l.. II.
Schweitzer and J. H. Thorn, grocer
les; Boone County Bank, H. C. King,
cashier; Bank of Harrison, F. NJ. Gar
vim, cashier Hull Bros, stationers;
C. l.. Glines, jewelry; Hudgins and
Story, Crump and Watkins, Pace and
Murphy, lawyers; L. Kirby, L. C, Ty-
son, A. J. Vance and II. L. ROuth,
physicians.
The following items are taken from
the local columns OF this issue:
According to a census just taken
by Jack Smith at the instigation of
the council there are 1901 souls dwell
ing within the corporate limits of Har-
riSOn."
"a. L. King has been receiving con-
gratulations all week. It's a new boy
at his house and will be named after
Senator Berry as soon as its father
RECEIVERS sufficiently"
John Coffman has let the contract
for a fine two-story brick business
building to be erected this summer on
the southeast corner of the square,
where Watkins & Coffman's drug
store now stands"
Democrats who take part in the
primaries and county conventions this
year should feel themselves in honor
bound to support the ticket exactly as
nominated. Any other course makes
a nonsensical farce Of the whole
thing"
THE new stone sidewalks east of
the square have been badly twisted
in an unscientifc effort to make the
grade"
with unusual neatness and dis.
patch our canning and evapOratng
company has been organized, officers
elected, grounds selected, contracts
let for the building, and machinery ar.
ranged for all within the past week
! The officers are as follows: G.. J..
! Crump, president j. o. Nicholson,
vice president +. B. Raymond sec.
retary; w, M, Duncan treasurer.
Messrs, Crump, Vance, Nicholson,
Routh and Raymond directors, The
site selected is short distance north.
west Of the Flick barn, and John Mil.
Ter has secured the contract for the
building, which is to be quite large
one. The capital stock is 100000, di.
vided into shares of $25 each Par.
I ticular attention will be paid to the
eyaporating department this season" "

basin" was planned and partly finished

basin" was planned and partly finished
with the view to relieving congestion.
The congestion of traffic now is not
only hindrance to commerce but a
danger to navigation which greater
vigilance on the part of the French
navy against German submarines may
obviate but which is considered suffi-
cient serious at the present time to
use of the uncompleted tidal basin as
a refuge for vessels waiting their turn
to dock.
The town itself is far more animated
ably getting rich from the vast ex-
penditures of the British commissary
department and the individual trade OF
officers and soldiers. English shop
the French, for Tommy Atkins" Is
slow in learning the language.
One Of the most conspicuous things
one sees in the Rue de Paris, the prin-
cipal street in the town, is British
bar" in big, brave British red on the
window Of a saloon. A little further
on sign points the way TO the Brit
ish Soldiers Club" another sign post
directs men to the British Officers
Club" while there are tea rooms every
where and restaurants that conspicu-
ously advertise ham and eggs" 1.-THE
right shop for British. Come in and
demand for all the things which you
want" Football boots" are among
some Of the appeals to the soldiers.
British transports have the right OF
way over all other ships in the harbor
and at the docks, and the British pre-
vail everywhere on shore. Some peo-
pie at Havre have inquired whether
the British occupation Is going to last
forever, an inquiry inspired by the
seemingly permanent character of the
installations for the different services
Of the British army and for the British
troops. Most people at Havre will be
glad If il does, because they are get
ting rich-all, excepting the fishermen.
The herring catch has diminished so
per cent, while all the other commerce
of Havre has doubled.
Havre is under naval instead of mil
itary rule, despite the occupation by
the British army. Khaki is the pre-
vailing color, but the French admiral,
Biard. is the king of Ravre and Tommy
Atkins must submit to his authority.
He must quit the saloon at 8 o'clock
and must not be found in a restaurant
after TO- Patrols look for him through
all the narrow ways and by-ways and
in the corners of the docks, and pick
him up sharply if found after hours
where he should not be.
| As to the civilian, he looks in vain
for any sort Of consideration In Havre;
those that live there content them
selves In taking British money in ex-
| change for the best rooms, best apart
ments and best tables in the restau-
rants. The civilian from abroad gets
| in with so much difficulty, he feels as
| If he had broken in and almost insens-
| IDLY tries to sneak out: this, too, is
| difficult, for the man from Scotland
| Yard considers every civilian guilty OF
| spying until he has proven his lnno-
cence: if he happens to speak English.
t the presumption against him is so
much the stronger.

POPULACE MIXED
At FRENCH PORT
Since Opening Of European War There
Has Been Great Change in Aspect
OF Havre, France.

Havre, March.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Pressl-Havre has al
ways been the most cosmopolitan port
in France, but never before the war
would you get-three British half pence
and Belgian sou IN cents worth Of
small change That triviality is sym
holical of the Havre of today-only
half French, three-eighths English and
an eighth Belgian.
1t is the influx of the British that
has doubled the traffic of the port dur
ing the past 10 months and congested
the docks until scores of ships are at
times seen lying for days together in
the offing waiting for a spot TO become
vacant at the quays. The quays them
selves are piled with bales of cotton,
giving TO the port a resemblance to
New Orleans.
The cotton sheds. covering 20 acres
of ground and fitted with 20 electric
cranes. have become insufficient and
the bales are rolled upon the quays
everywhere that a ship from New Or
leans happens to find berth.
The traffic of the port of Havre
which amounted TO 100000 tons in
1918 was less than half that Of Rot
terdam and only a little more than a
third of that of Antwerp and Hamburg.
The reasons for it were largely lack Of
docking facilities and the limited rail-
road communications with Paris and
the center OF France. Even before the
war, ships were sometimes held up IN
the roads waiting their turn to dock,
and a new basin called the tidal

She's active, full of life, lacks nerves." and de.
hvers terrific wallop with only the slightest effort
mean by that power walop. Because she
turns up 34OO revolutions per minute. Her crank
shaft speed surpasses that of any other American
car.
Though there are three built in the U. S. A.
that get bit beyond 300 r. D. M
It's like an electric fan, which turns up 1000
r p. m, or turbine which does around 1900.
Of course the Chalmers engine doesn't hit 34OO
all the time 34OO is the maximum When the car
IS running miles an hour she turns up $50 r. p. m.
At 10 miles an hour she does 500 r. D. m. At
Is she does $50. At 20, 1000 At 80, 1900.
So you see the engine isn't hitting the highest
speed at the slower car speeds-those speeds you
drive 90 per cent of the time
In way it's like horse-po You say the
horse power Of your car is 40. You mean by that
the maximum is 49,
Yet at 10 miles an hour you are using probably
less than 10 h.. p While at 20 miles an hour YOU
are using about II or IS h. p. And SO on.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-04-22

34OO r. p. m. is just another way of stating horse
power It's the modern way Because it shows
power through supreme engine speed and not
through large bore and stroke, which means brute
of an engine, and hence vehicle of great weight
The day of such car has gone by You and
want light spunky beast that responds to the
slightest touch Of the accelerator, that pulverzes
hills: that drives straight as sunbeam, that has
the lure In her lines and obeys
That's the 34OO I. p M Chalmers. I've never
had any person buy one and tell me she wasn't
