BRITISH ISLES BEING
DENUOED OF TIMBER.

London, July $50 much timber
Is being used for the war it is said
by advocates of a government scheme
for -afforestation that If the war
lasts another three years the British
isles will be entirely denuded of tim
ber.
One feature Of the situation is that
some pre-war sources of supply are
no longer available. Fifty-five per
cent. Of timber imported in nomal
times came from Russia, Sweden and
Germany. four per cent from Nor
way, and Al per cent from France,
Portugal and Spain. Since the war
this country has had to rely partly
on supplies from Norway and Sweden
and largely on France and Portu-
guese supplies, and 10 make good the
deficit from woods and forests in the
British Isles.
To maintain the supply the nation
is making huge inroads into its own
standing timber. 1t is impossible to
travel by rail through parts of Scot
land without seeing the wholesale
cutting Of trees. The axe is making
a clean sweep OF whole woods.
There are only three million acres
of wooded land in the United King
dom at the present time.

moisture. That road has also been
subjected to a very heavy traffic and
the commissioners have never had
money enough to build such a road
as will stand the heavy traffic.
1t will require about 100000 to
build road out to the fields II the
people had voted bonds to that
amount, If engineers had been en-
ployed to have built a road as would
have stood the heavy traffic there
would have been no criticism of the
commissioners. But people have not
provided the funds and the road could
not be built
The opponents of Jimmie Taliafer-
ro are men that do not stand for un-
just criticism of any man. The fel-
low who is big enough to be sheriff
is not dealing in little things and they
are not criticising Jimmie Taliaferro
on account OF the road. They are de-
pending upon ability to win. We are
not publishing this in order to make
votes for Mr.. Taliaferro nor to take
votes from any opponent he has.
They are all our friends. But we
feel like 1t is a matter OF common
justice to a citizen of Carter county
to call attention to this fact We do
not believe that any OF our citizens
should be criticised on account of
that road. We are all to blame equal
ly. We will have to raise . mighty
big fund and go at that work in the
right way before results can be had
Mr.. Taliaferro has had little dribs
OF money along at different times and
he has done the best that he could
do and 1t is doubtful II any other
man in the county could have done
any better.

OF course there will be many dis

but 1t II equally as certain that you
cannot make any one OF them be

are coming home with the bacon and

candidates are in a cheerful frame
OF mind.
Interest in the campaign was very
lax up until within a week OF the
close. then the boys began TO get
busy, and from that time until the
present the air has resounded with
their oratOry and the boys from the
forks OF the creek have been treated
TO regular debauch OF works, some
conveying sense and whole lot OF
them nonsense, but words never the

his friend Hennessy that one must

 "The factory states that the new Super-SiX motor created furor not only among show visitors, but in the auto mobile fraternity. Thousands of ques- tions were asked about this smashing motor, which without enlarging the cylin- Cers or adding to their size increases the horse power by 80 per cent and the motor speed by 50 per cent. The six cyliners in the patented Super-Six motor having total capacity of 2SS cubic inches produce more power per cubic inch dis Ilacement than any motor ever made, excepting special ones for racing pur- poses.
 "The first day of the show more than a score of demonstrations were made for prospects considering the purchase of SGper-SiX. The car performed wonder fully in the dense traffic of New York City and took the steep hill leading to Fort George, a miniature Coney Island resort, on high speed without the slight est difficulty.

trolley lines in hundreds of cities and to understand how deeply interested railroad executives are in the development of long distance automobile stage lines.
 Street car companies in many cities have found the competition of the jitney too severe for comfort, and in many sec tions of the country automobile stage lines are running regularly over routes 40 and 50 miles long, and are meeting the competition of steam roads and trolley lines in speed and passenger rates.
 "A few weeks ago a Saxon Six covered the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 15 minutes less time than the Lark, the Southern Pacifc's fastest train The cost for gasoline and oil was less than l cent mile. Divided among five passengers the cost per passenger was considerably less than one-tenth the rate for transportation by rail Adding the wear and tear on tires and something for a sinking fund to offset the cost of possible accidents and the depreciation of the automobile, the Saxon still carried passengers faster than the railroad and at one-fifth of the cost"

Tame Fox a Music Lover

From the Boston Globe.
 Two years ago Carl Haron, resident of Waverley, returned from a hunting trip, carrying in his pocket snapping, snarl- ing little ouch of red fur equipped with an extra sharp set of teeth.
 The little red fox, named Musty was made member of the family and has since grown into a splendid animal, with beautiful coat and brush, but full of affection for his captors and thoroughly tame.
 He occupies a house to himself where he has accumulated rubbish of every kind, from old clothing to grass and hay, in the midst of which he makes his bed and stores his bones for future use.
 Attached to his collar there is a 30-foot chain, the circle of which forms his back yard. Near him are the hen houses and back of him the railroad, the commuters of which have long had the habit of watching for him as they pass in the morning.
 From this vantage point Musty watches the world in general and the hens in particular Woe unto any one of them which ventures within the 30-foot circle. It is even said that he arranges bits of meat so as to tempt them, and cer- tainly his bed contains chicken feathers, the strongest kind of circumstantial evil dence.
 When strangers enter the yard Musty rls and retreats to his house, watch ing their every movement until they leave. With the members of the family, however, he is affectionate and well be- haved.
 When he hears the piano being played he whines until admitted to the house, where he sits in chair, silent and watch full, but happy, until the music ends.

COMPARISON MADE
 ON COST OF TRAVEL
Saxon Six Carries Passen- gers Cheaper Than Rail-
 way Train

| The distance from New York and between which passenger traffic is the heaviest, is about 90 miles. The regu-
 lar passenger fare between New York
 and Philadelphia is $2.25 and the time is about two hours.
 Harry w. Ford, president of the Saxon
 Motor Car company, has done a little figuring and has made comparisons be-
 tween the cost of journeying between these two centers of commerce on trains and by automobiles. For ease in figur- ing he calculates that an auto will travel 100 miles in going from one
 city to the other.
 Hundreds of tests show that the Saxon six will carry five passengers 25 miles over ordinary roads per gall lon of gasoline, or at cost per passen- ger of less than a fifth of a cent per mile for gasoline with a margin suf- ficient to pay for the oil needed at the
 rate of 100 miles per quart of oil," con- ments MT. Ford.
 "Of course, the greatest cost of run ming an auto is for gasoline, but if we add the same cost for the year on tires and the upkeep of the machine, this iHdhSS IWO-HlItS OI d cent per Illlc pel passenger, or 40 cents per passenger be. tween Philadelphia and New York. This is on a basis of the owner run ming his own car. If we hire a chauf-
 feur and pay him S3 per trip-which is
 liberal pay, as it will be $6 a day figuring
 on round trip daily-the cost for the
 four passengers would be $5, or $1.25 each
 This is only little more than one-hali

 Under these circumstances, it is easy to
 see why the automobiles have provided a brand of competition that is worrying

BETTER PREPAREDNESS FOR

as never before Made-in-America should be our slogan from now on. We should produce all we need at home, and plenty to spare in trade. To give our own prod ucts the go-by is reflection upon our national forethought and ability, and makes us a ridicule and a prey for others more progressive. We do not need the preparedness of Germany's military at- tainments, but we do need to profit by the lesson taught in her wonderful con- servatism of her industrial system, mak- ing her independent of the world.
 Every line of industry should be brought into line now, especially the struggling industries in our remote districts where our products and our people are both in most need of development. And yet the development of our material resources is of little importance compared to the significance and importance of the de- velopment of our human resources.
 The very foundation of nation rests upon the strength of it's citizenship. And no nation can be strong in a citizenship made mostly up of aliens from other lands-unprepared by experience, educa- tion and loyalty. The immigrant of today is by no means the immigrant of colonial times, and the law of preservation now calls halt on the same. Let us give chance to our own Americans. Our mountains and rural districts are full

 Yet while the nation has been lavishing her educational benefits upon the millions of strangers within our midst, the de- scendants of those who have been ever ready to serve their country have been by their country forgotten, and left in those mountain fastnesses bereft of prog ress, education. development.
 Unprepared-for the citizenship we need at this moment; unprepared by the thou sands for lack of educational qualifica- tons to serve in our army. The de- velopment of our own made-in-America manhood and womanhood is worth more to the nation today than all else. It means the preservation of this republic, the pres- ervaton of our form of government and of every ideal we hold sacred.

War Medal Halts Calumny

From the New York Sun.
 Paris.-A recent copy of the Journal
 Officiel contained the name of Vedrines, the aviator, in list of men awarded
 the military medal, which ranks as high
 in France as the Victoria Cross in Eng
 land The nomination said that Jules
 Vedrines had volunteered for seven spe-
 cial missions which involved the most
 absolute contempt of danger and re-
 markable coolness and skill" Vedrines for some reason hos been the victim of calumny on two occasions during the war. Rumors declared that he had been traitor" in some un- specified way, and it was also stated that he had been shot. These reports were revived later, and were believed by many. His military medal will dis pose of them forever.
 An evening paper having printed his citation and added few lines of sym pathy for one who had been so basely aligned, Vedrines wrote few words of thanks to the editor:
 Thank you above all for the honor
 of my four children. For the love of
 my country and mine, I have always done my duty. I do it as others do it, and shall always do it when and how am wanted You may be sure that those who are pleased to tarnish me have never faced danger,
