DEMAND TO FAR
EXCEED SUPPLY
AUTO MANUFACTURERS WILL BE
UNABLE TO COPE WITH SIT
UATlON FIRST OF YEAR.
Sufficient Steel Cannot be Had. Labor
Has Gone Up and Price Of Cars
Will be Increased.

Here is a letter received this week
by III. J. Kiel. sale manager OF the
Capitol Car company. Market street.
from the president OF the Thomas Is
Jeffrey company. makers OF the JEFF
fiery automobile. which gives out some
startling facts and figures saying that
there Will not be enough autos built
in this country in the next three
months TO begin TO supply the de-
mand. He then gives the reason and
sizes up the automobile situation in a
nutshell in a most interesting and sur
prising manner.
The letter follows:
II do not wish to pose as an oracle.
but am close to what is going on in
this industry. and l think the follow
ing statements are conservative.
"First-There will not be enough
automobiles built in this country dur
ing the first three months OF 1916 to
begin to take care OF the demand
which is coming.
| nd-Manufacturers are nnd-
ing IL almost impossible TO obtain ma.
terials. The steel manufacturers to-
day will not book orders or make any
, contracts. Previous orders are being
delayed from four 10 FIVE months in
, delivery.
"Third-Prices OF materials and la
Dor have gone up 10 the extent that
within thirty days prices on several
cars will be increased The price or
the most popular selling little six in
/ America will be raised to Sl.O5O. The
i price OF one OF the most popular me-
dunn priced skies will be raised close
to $1,40O. One OF the most popular
cheaper fours. now selling below
$1,000. will sell within s25 OF the JEFF
I fiery price very soon.
"Fourth-The Jeffery company has
already shipped in December three
! times as many cars as we did last
December. and the schedule for the
remainder Of the month will take more
I cars than the factory will produce
/ Five dealers alone will take IFS Of
/ these cars for stock in addition to
/ their regular specifications, paying
/ cash in order to protect themselves
| against the demand which is coming.
| "F1fth-We will came up to Janu-
/ airy l without a single car for sur
/ plus. The New York and Chicago
4 shows coming during that month Will
mean that we will be far behind the
] demand I'm February. and the writer
4 believes that this factory cannot pro-
J duce half the number Of cars IL
! March, April and May that the ceal-
| ers will demand.
/ This Is the most unusual year in
i the history of the world and this in
formation is. accordingly. unusual"

The bad days; when outside work is
impossible; can be very profitably
spent in a study Of farm crops. A few
weeks ago the farm demonstration
agent Of Putnam county held meet
ing FOR men and boys at Pleasant Val
ley. He asked every one to bring ten
ears of corn with him. He had hoped
for a big crowd, but theaweather was
very bad and only fifteen came. Every
one brought ten ears Of corns and they
all studied corn together. First the
agent gave talk on seed corn, and
on varieties OF corn, IN which he ex-
planned that every variety had its own
characteristics, and all the ears OF q
variety should approximate the stand
ard Of length; diameter. number Of
rows Of corn on the cob, color, shape
and size Of grain, etc. Then score
cards were distributed and the men
and boys made careful study Of
their samples, placing the ears IN the
order Of excellence. I. It WIS bad day

to prevent spelling. This difficulty Is
eliminated by the formation of ice
clubs, which win be described In q
later article.
The advantages Of a fresh meat club
are:
/. There are no dues, nor officers.
2. It provides fresh meat for the
whole week. and for every week in the
year.
8. Each member receives cuts from
all the portions Of the animal.
A. Each member receives Just az
much meat as he furnishes, or is com
pensated for the difference in cash: on
the other hand, he pays for all meat in
excess of what he furnishes.
5. If, for example, there are twenty
members, then the single member fur
nishes one animal in twenty weeks
and also makes deliveries to the other
members once in the same period OF
time.
6. The cost per pound OF meat con-
sumed is only a small fraction of q
cent higher than price per pound OF
live animal. This is quite contrast
in price to meat bought at retail on
the market,
4. A neighborly' feeling develops
which is primarily essential to the.
progress Of higher forms of organized
rural efforts.
The Division of Extension of the
University Of Tennessee stands ready

which wishes to organize such meat
club. and invites correspondence on
the, subject.

(BysRIchard N. Cranes Division"of Ext
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
At this season Of the year, whether
we be poultry farmers or general farm
ers, we should haye at least roughly
made up our mind as tocthe number
of chickens wev will endeayor to raise
this Year,
There arg several things that we
oughtgtor consider before starting our
ineubating operations:
First-Are we entirely satisfied with
the breed of poultry that we now
have in our yards?
Second-Does this breed of poultry
meet the requirements of our special
purposes?
In other words, If we ara ambitious
to produce large quantity. Of eggs for
market, and do not caree to produce
roasting chickens, we ought to decide
or breed that will be the most eco
nomical producer Of eggs. While on
the other hand, if we purpose prodtc-
ing market poultry as we'll as eggs,
is the breed we now have the most
economical producers of high-class
broilers and roasting chickens, and
are they as good egg producers as it
would be possible for us to have, and
yet get first quality market poultry?
II 1t is eggs we want'to produce. lay
ing little or no stress upon the market
poultry side, we will in all probability
find that some of the Mediterranean
breeds, such as the Leghorns, Minorcas,
Anconas and Andelusians, will be the
most economical producers, while, II
it be eggs and market poultry, we will
find American breeds, such as Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode; Island Reds Orp-
ingtons, Buckeyes and Wyandottes.
would best suit our requirements.
So, before starting this years incu-
batting, let us decide definitely what
we want to do in the future in the
poultry yards, and let.us not be chang
ing breeds from one year to another,
but, after definitely deciding on the
one breed, let us strive to make our
focks as large as we can, and produce
good profits.

rEepuo,fcan A. p. Leased wlrel

NEWPORT, R. l.. Nov. 12.-An ou; line of the duties and equipment ot the volunteer boat patrol as an arm of naval defense, is understood to be con- tained in a preliminary report for warded to the navy department today, by a special board appointed to inves- tigate the possibilities of these boats for scouting and other purposes. The special board headed by Rear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight, has been in session at the Narragansett Bay Naval station. Among the duties suggested for the craft are harbor entrance patrol, mine field patrol. coast patrol, dragging for mines, dispatch duty, searching for and attacking submarines, cooperation with submarines and activities and CO., operation with the land forces in de- fense of the naval district
 Four types of boats are understood to be included in the boards recom- mendations. A boat of the first type must not be less than forty feet in length with d speed Of not less than seven knots an hour and capable of sustaining four men for four days. This type is to be equipped with one ma chine gun and d one pounder. The sec ond type is of similar dimensions and
 
 capable of a speed of not less than lG knots an hour
 Boats of the third type are to be not less than sixty feet in length with a Speed of ten knots an hour and cap able of sustaining eight men for five days.

The fourth type will be similar except that the speed must be at least 16 knots an hour and the equipment must include a gun not smaller than three pounder
 In times of peace the board is said to recommend that owners of the boats serve on their own craft if they so de- desire, or not necessarily. when called into service in times of war or emer. gency. Four weeks of preliminary try. ing. followed by a three weeks cruis. each year is proposed.

MORE COMMENT ON
 CHANCELL0R'S TALK
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

BERLIN. Nov. F fBy wireless to Sayville) le)-Comment by Danish and Dutch papers on the recent speech of the imperial German chancellor in the reichstag is given out by the Over seas News Agency:
 The PolitilIen Copenhagen says:
 "Of all the speeches made during the war, Dr. von Bethmann- Holiweg's last speech is the most remarkable. because. coming from the German side it goes farthest into the future, thus awak- ening hopes for a new order of society"
 The Politiken, according to the Ov- eTseas agency, says that the most i'm portant points of the speech are the declaration that the chancellor had never mentioned the annexation of Bel gium as Germany's intention and the general remark that the policy of might could not be the basis for an efficient international league of peace.
 The Nieuws Van Den Dag (Amster- dam) is quoted by the Overseas agency as welcoming the imperial chancellors answer to Niscount Grey suggestion for guarantees for lasting peace, de claring that league of the state for peace would have scany vaiue if it were organized merely after the ideas of the entente powers.
 The Svenksa Morgenbladt (Stock- holm) declares that the chancellOr's speech was a very strong one and that it proved that the love of peace always proclaimed by the ententes leading men was insincere.

BOOZE SUPPLY SERED; THREE
 ARE TAKEN IN

The little iron barred door up stairs in the county jail building was filled to overflowing with whisky last night. There was already so much there that there was hardly room for the last installment which was seized yes- terday afternoon by Deputies Murphy and Sears at Fifth and Washington street. At the same time. John D. Holly and d man named Grossly were seized and a warrant was out for a young man named Earl Gault. Later in the day Gault. accompanied by an attorney. called at the sheriff's office to see Holly. The warrant was serv- cd on him and he too was locked up.
 There were AIS pints of high grade whisky. It has been brought across the country by the way of Needles in q big six automobile. the property of Holly, which is now stored in the open air garage on the court house plaza
 Holly is a prosperous looking in- dividlal who might be mistaken for q delegate to the late bankers con vention here. He was plentifully sprinkled with diamonds. If he had not been interferred with by the SneTll1 OIIlCe. ne could nave ptf- chased more diamonds, for the kind of whisky at the prices prevailing in PhoenlX. would have brought not less than S2 bottle.
 By what proces the whisky was discovered has not been disclosed by the sheriff's office, perhaps. for the reason that it will be used again sometime, It is enough for the public to know that the whisky was found, and that the purveyors of it are in i2il within two days after their ar rival in the city. It may be said though. that as soon as they crossed the Colorado the sheriff knew they were coming.
 Gault who is a local product. says that he had nothing to do with the enterprise; that he had never met Holly and GresSley until he was call ed upon by them for professional ser vices; he is the driver of an auto mobile and has q job at the fair ground that will probably have to be turned over to somebody else.
 The activity of the sheriff's office in the matter of enforcing prohibition is shown in the fact that there are now fifty-Iwo persons either in jail await ing trial Or under conVction or out on bail This number has nothing to do with the greater number of those who have served sentences or paid fines since the crusade against the bootleg gers was begun.
