Packard Qualities
As Deep Sea Diver
When Bridge Drops

When a North Carolina mountain
stream is taken with sudden insane
fit of temper, motorists, pedestrians
all people, movable property, live
stock, everything-will do well to give
the erstwhile gentle brook wide,
wide berth.
Commodore Ernest Lee Jahncke Of
New Orleans, who has his summer
residence at Ashville, N. C., abides
by the above rule, but he got caught
in storm recently, on trip from
Ashville, to Toxoway. He was OBJ
liged to- cross a small bridge. The
stream, with a vicious cunning, had
so weakened the foundations that the
bridge was fairly a trap for Mr..
Jamcke and his Packard Twin Six
touring car. ...
When the automobile was fairly on
the bridge, the structure gave way.
The car turned over and disappeared,
leaving only part of one rear wheel
and a fender showing above the tur-
bulent water. Mr.. Jahncke was OBJ
liged to swim desperately to get
away.
This accident occurred at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon" said Mr.. Jahncke,
"and with the help of farm hands and
a good pair OF oxen, we were able to
get the machine out OF the creek, as
the water had receded in few hours
to enable US to work. When we right
ed it, much to the surprise Of myself
and the onlookers, tried the car and
the machine actually started! How
ever, when the car turned over, the
batteries were emptied and we knew
we would need distilled water to re-
,lenish them. This seemed knotty
until we thought OF two bot
lies of pop which had stayed in the
machine. We poured the contents OF
hese two bottles into the battery.

Allen "37" Climbs Mount
Rainier Without Trouble

An Allen model "37" touring car,
The property of R. S. Flack of Port
land, Ore, recently completed a
lhousand-mie trip through the noun
tains of Washington, including Mt
Rainier national park.
The trip, which was doubtless one
Of the most strenuous that could be
taken by car OF moderate price, is
marked by several distinctive records.
Nokonly was this Allen "37" the first
above the snow line, reaching an
elevation OF $500 feet, but with all
CT the trials OF such a journey, the
owner experienced no trouble what
ever with the car itself, and the full
1000 miles was covered at cost of
only $3.50 for fuel and grease. {
According to Mr.. Flack, mile after
mile of the trip was made along
rocky, rugged mountain trails where
there would have been no possible
chance of passing another car.

FRANKLIN CAR WINS
RELIABILITY RUN
Owners Only in Stringent Test
at st. Louis Show En-
durance.
DISTANCE OF 400 NILES

For the fifth consecutive year a
Franklin car won the apnual reliabil-
ity run OF the ST. Louis Automobile
club, which took place September %,
"a And rs. Under a rigid examination
at the conclusion OF the test, the
Franklin scored 1913 points, seven less
than perfect score and eight points
ahead OF its closest competitor. No
penalty was imposed against the air
cooled car on account of motor diff
ficulties. -
The run was made from St. Louis to
Keokuk and return, by way of Wentz-
willie, Louisiana, Hannibal and La
Grange, distance OF 400 miles. Four
teen cars participated.
Auto Trade Barred.
Stringent rules subjected these cars
to real test. All entries were lin
tied to car owners, no persons con-
nected with the automobile trade be-
ing eligible to sompete. Each driver
started with 1000 points credited to his
car. Penalties were levied for me-
chanical troubles, including everything
from loose terminal to wrecked
machine.
For every half minute ahead or be-
hind the scheduled arrival al the ten
checking stations the driver was pen
allied one point. AT the end Of the
run committee Of seven members OF
the cub conducted technical ex-
animation OF each car and tested
brakes, clutch, starter, transmission
and motor.
DR.. Adolph H. Conrad, owner Of
the winning car, also won with a
Franklin last year Only nine out OF
twenty-rinc starters finished in 1915,

Fatally Hurt In Auto Upset

The second fatal auto accident
in Cecil county occurred on
Thursday evening on the Elkton-
Perryville road, a mile west of
North East. The victim was
Frederick S. Vincent, real es-
tate dealer of Washington, D. c.,
aged about 35 years. He and
colored chauffeur, Logan New
man, were returning in five pas
senger Dodge car, owned by Vim
cents mother, from Princeton, N.
J. He passed through Whining
ton and Newark and reached Elk
ton about a p. M, getting a sup
ply of oil and gasoline at the
Boul lden garage. About $50
o'clock DR.. Mcknight, of North
East, reached Union Hospital in
an automobile conveying Vincent
and the chauffeur. The former
was in dying condition with six
ribs on one side and three on the
other broken and with scars on
his face and other parts of his
body as we'll as a broken leg and
ankle. He died as he was taken
into the hospital. The chauffeur,
who was stunned and cut about
the face with broken glass, re-
vived and said another car had
collided with theirs and left with
out stopping. Efforts were made
to trace the car supposed to be
more or less damaged, as Vim
cents car was badly wrecked, but
without result. At the inquest
held on Friday night Newman
was able to testify and stated that
the car had skidded to one side OF
the road and then to the other
turned over and then righted
after sliding for several feet
along the road. Vim e n t was
caught under the footboard which
was bent upward, and the weight
of the car crushed his ribs. He
died from shock and interna
hemorrhage. Newman, who wa!

EFFICIENCY ON THE FARM

government figures which show
growing decrease in the percen-
tage of farm profits.
While production-costs have
been greatly lessened-as shown
above-other expenses have in
creased and land values have ad-
vanced everywhere-as much as
1000 per cent in some localities.
Whereas, in 1910, Americans
farms valued at S20,000,000,000
produced S5,OOO,0O0,000 worth of
products, last year, with a farm
valuation which had grown to
nearly S6O,OOO,000,000, the total
value of products amounted to
only S1O,000,OO0,000.
So the gross profits in 1900
were 25 per cent on valuation,
while in 1914 they had fallen to
16 2-3 per cent.
In other words, a $4,000 farm
investment would have yielded
$500 gross profit in 1900 and
only S1,667 last year.
The one sure way to overcome a
tendency of this sort is to strike
at the twin-roots of production
proft-soil and labor.
The soil must be made to pro-
duce more.
Labor must be more economic
ally used.
In the case of the soil, the
farmers advantage rests in three
"ages''-clear-age, drainage, till
age
Quicker and more complete
clearage, better drainage, ane
deeper tillage are vital necessl
ties.
For in this great and fertile
country, only 43 per cent of the

More than half of it is going II

Judge Gray Speaks
For Preparedness

Former Judge George Gray of
Wilmington, Del, delivered pow
erful plea for military prepared
ness to uphold the new doctrine of
Pan-Americanism, at a banquet
given by Secretary of State Lam
sing and members of the United
States delegation to the foreign
delegates to the Pan-American
Congress.
Judge Gray said significantly
that the time may come when the
President of the United States
"can offer as the spokesman of all
America a suggestion that may
find lodgment in the mind and
heart of the peoples of the
world"
''There is nothing inconsistent
with our character as a peace low
ing nation" he added, "in so
strengthening ourselves that we
will be listened to with respect
when we speak. At the right
moment the word shall attract the
attention it deserves.
Afer deploring war, Judge Gray
continued:
81 venture to say that it is oul
duty so to strengthen our sea
power, south as we'll as north, thai
we may protest the commerce tha'
traverses the high seas and thu
ocean paths that are open to al
neutral nations and that we of th'
United States must so strengthen
our army that it may serve as th'
nucleus upon which the citizel
soldiery of the States may b.
built into an efficient army of de
fence. These, believe, are tn
sentiments which are felt in tn
heart of American people as the
hold up the olive branch of peac

you may figure out the postage re-
quired by simple method. If the
Office is zone one or two (Which
cover the distance of one hundred

or figures representing the weight
the numeral 4. If the weight is ten

say. IL can scarcely be that the
American farmer has not as much
intelligence as the farmer of other
nations. It is true that the Amer
lean farmer does not produce as
much per acre as the farmer in a
number of civilized nations, but
production per acre is not the
American standard. The stand
ard is the amount of produce for
each person engaged in agricult-
ure, and by this test the American
farmer appears to be from two to
six times as efficient as most of
his competitors. Relatively speak
ing, extensive farming is still eco
nomically the sound program in
our agriculture, but now it is be-
coming increasingly apparent that
the aim must be, while maintain
ing supremacy in production for
each person, to establish suprem-
acy in production for each acre.
To do this, the acres that now
are not producing must be cleared
and drained and made fertile.
This preparation must be done
in such manner as to insure the
largest possible return of profit
on the investment. One of the
chief factors in this matter is
time.
1t is here that dynamite offers
an economic advantage superior
to that of any improvement intro,
duced since the reaper took the
place of the sickle.
With the addition of now use
less acres-a doubling of the pro
ductive area-there will be added
to our farms a tillable surface
sufficient to justify a much wider
use of improved machinery and tt
make possible the elimination o.
many inconvenience and hard
ships which today stand in th'
way of economic progress ant
comfort on the farm.
In this country today are near
ly 100000 farms. The total are:
of these is close to 1,000,0OO,0O'
acres. Yet, 81 per cent of thi
acreage is idle because untitled
This means that the farm need
of the nation-and the farmers
needs-must be taken care of b
less than half the available sourc
of production.
1t means we must produce NOR
efficiently.
With the advent Of the tractor
the labor problem has been partl
solved.
