ABSORB 100000
CARSEVERY YEAR
THAT is ESTIMATE OF A. r.
ERSkINE, HEAD OF THE
STUDEBAKER COMPANY.
Replacement Sales Will Run to 8OO,.
900 Annually; American Automo.
bile Manufacturers to Dominate in
Export Trade; Excellent Prospects
for Immediate Business.

In answer to request for his
views as to whether the saturation
point in the production of motor cars
was near, A. r. Erskine, president of
the Studebaker Corporation, replied
as follows: 1.-THE saturation point is
far off, in fact it is doubtful if such
a point will ever be reached in motor
cars any more than in typewriters,
sewing machines or other articles Of
utility. United States market alone
will absorb in excess of 100000
cars annually for the next five years.
Furthermore, counting five years as
average life of an automobile, re-
placement sales will absorb between
100000 and 100000 cars an. ually.
Farmers Are Buying.
"In addition, American automobile
manufacturers dominate the export
markets of the world, which should
supply demand for 100000 cars
annually. The motor car is as neces-
sary and practicable utility as the
telephone. There are 100000 far
mers in the United States who can
afford to own automobiles and thf~e
are over 100000 wage earners in
the cities of the country similarly
in position to own motor car.
Contrasted with these figures there
are only 100000 automobiles in
use at the present time"
Willys-Overland Comment
John N. WHY'S, president of Will
lys-Overland Co., commenting on the
same question says: II consider the
motor car situation extremely good
for this season of the year." Asked
whether his company was contem-
plating any further financing, Mr..
WHY'S said: "You can say positively
and emphatically that no more fl
nancing is needed by WHY'S Overland
Co."

horses can be profitably done with a
tractor. Census Bureau has estimat-
ed that substitution of tractor, cost
ing about 5000, for some of the
horses used on a 160-acre farm in
than 5000 annually, not including
profit that can be made by having
available belt power for daily miscel-
laneous work.
The greatest economy in use of
the tractor lies in the fact that work
can be done on time and advantage
taken of favorable weather. It is
estimated that farmers lose millions
annually because blowing, filling and
threshing cannot be done just when
it should. A tractor may be made to
work "a hours in the day, if neces
sary, under conditions where horse
cannot.
Increases the Yield.
Whereas, the horse-drawn pillow
will furrow to depth Of about five
conditions, the tractor pillow can con-
veniently turn over to a depth of
seven inches. Exposure of these ad-
ditional one and one-half inches of
rich subsoil means increased crops
and increased crops mean increased
revenue for the farmers.
There are about Is agricultural
implement manufacturers who are
also producing tractors. 1nternation-
al Harvester Co. and j. I. Case
Threshing Machine Co. each have
four models on the market and Ad-
vance Rumely Co. and Avery Co.
have five models. There are in the
United States alone over 100000
farms on which present models of
tractors can be economically used.
In Illinois, of 200 farms using trac-
tors, so per cent OF the machines
were purchased in 1915. In the COM
ing season the quantity in use will
probably be doubled. Approximately
Is per cent of owners report the
tractor a profitable investment.
Helps to "Do the Chores"
Tractor manufacturers are aiming
to produce a light low-priced ma
chine capable not only of doing
draught work, but powerful enough
to do belt work such as ensilage cut
ting, threshing, saving, pumping, ele-
waiting, hay baling, etc., etc. Some
of the present models are so built as
to perform about SO functions.
Henry Ford has been the pioneer
automobile manufacturer to expert
ment with a tractor, and it is under
stood to be his aim to furnish the
farmer an automobile, motor truck
and a tractor at total price OF $500.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME.

Soon the shrill winter blasts of
March will give way to the first call of
the season for the stars of the dia-
mcnd, and the patron saints of this
sport will gather to pay homage to the
first actions on the part of the baseball
Players.
There was time in the history of
this country when baseball was viewed
contemptuously, but it has grown into
a part of our very being with a financ-
ial Importance equal to some of our
big trusts and enterprises. Baseball
has been commercialized, and in doing
Sc, the integrity of the sport has been
questioned. Clean baseball is a sport
to be enjoyed, but any game which has
a shadow of suspicion over it is black
ened in the eyes of good and sport
loving people.
The recent feud between organized
baseball and the late Federal League
grew out conditions which had grown
20 be intolerable. The public became
sore on the game, and the people were
right.
Baseball should be played for what
is in it-but it should be honest.
With the beginning of the new
season it is to be hoped that America
will witness her grandest esason of
the national pastime-with honesty
above all.

WE ARE WITH YOU.

No greater tribute and more solid
backing has ever fallen to the lot of
amy president, than the firm stand
which the American people have TAX
en- behind President Wilson. The only
stray sheep are a few bleating con-
gressmen and, perhaps, seevral sena-
tors, who are satisfied with the ability
of any one to cope with conditions,
except by their own guidance, dicta-
ton and word.
This paper is proud to see the Geor-
gia delegation in the house of repre-
santatives brace themselves for a
square stand with the president, but as
yet we have heard nothing from our
two senators. A bad taste seems to
come into the mouth of the average
Georgian when he contemplates the
greatness of our president-and the
conduct of Georgia's two senators.
Senator Smith is playing true to
form-he is unchanged. He is the
same man which Georgia saw in the
race for governor in 1906; he was I'M
changed through the years of turbu-
lent political life which followed; he
is the same representative who has
not yet been before the people to abide
by their voice as to his election. SEN
ator Hardwick has a retentive memory
of the shipping bill"
But we are with the president, and
an entire nation has joined in an over
vhelming voice urging him to be his
own master-and not suppliant to the
wishes of few mutinous congress-
men and senator's, whose real inten-
tons are unknown.
AS long as this is political year it
might go bad for some of our public
men when they are forced to face the
people in an election along about now.

IT'S BUSINESS.

The approaching bond election in
Americas is business proposition. 1t
is a problem which confronts almost
every man in his private affairs, and
the Americas Times-Recorder wants
the voters of Americas to act with
their city affairs just as they would
with their own private business.
The city of Americas faces large
floating indebtedness, cumbersome
and oftimes embarrassing, to the city
government, and their affairs are ours.
Certain legal phases of the matter
make it impossible to secure a loan of
tbs amount necessary to place the
city's affairs in good circumstances.
A body of citizens requested the city
council to call bond election for the
purpose of issuing $4,000 in bonds
pf $1,000 denominations; payable in
thirty years at rate of interest of
IL per cent. The present indebted
ness of the city is costing about s
Ter cent. in interest, which is being
compounded. AS a business PROPOSE
ton, the bonds would pay for them
selves by the difference in interest in
thirty years.
The city council proposes to use the
money derived from a bond issue in
carrying out the street work and i'm
proVements of the city just as necess-
by forces now-no extraordinary cam
paign. But the money which is now
coming from the common treasury for
this street work, will be used in retir-
ing the obligation of the city, which are
due and should be paid
There's the business in it, It's money
and cheap money. It's cheaper
money than we can get now.
If there is single point in the entire
matter which any citizen does not I'M
derstand, the Americas Times-Re-
corder throws it's columns open for a
and will make every effort
to secure any information.
Think the bond question over.

PUT STOMACH IN
fine CONDITION
SAYS INDIGESTION RESULTS FROM
AN EXCESS OF HYDROCHLORIC
ACID.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
US that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex-
cess of hydro-chloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus ev-
erything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like toy balloon.
Then we feel heavy, lumpy misery in
the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, fiatul-
ence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharm-
acy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is
ef5ervescing and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for week. While relief fol-
lows the first dose, it is important to
ueutralize the acidity remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
Jada Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and lem
IN juice, combined with lithia and
icdium phosphate. This harmless salts
IS used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent results.

SIDNEY LANIER.

My soul was a-quest to find Lanier,
And the little gray leaves said, Once
he was here"
Then the meadowlands broad and the
forests dim
Declared that they still remembered
him.
l questioned mockingbird; first he
was mute,
Then he thrilled me some notes from a
Modernism flute
And the riddle was plain: it was cock
bird lore
Snatched from a gleeman gone before.
The hills of Habersham heard my cry,
And the Chattahoochee came rushing
by
IN a torrent of grief; and corn and
clover,
II the valleys of Hall, told me over and
over:
He is gone! He is gone!"
And out from the marshes, the marshes
of Glynn,
Came pitiful wall of a wild marsh
hen;
League-broad, waist-high, 'twixt the
land and the main,
The marsh grass quivered with infinite
pain.
Then glad gold beam shot down from
the sky,
And my eager soul, with uplashed eye,
Eeheld-for the seer his wish had
won
Lanier afoat by his friend, the Sun.

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

The greatest single movement in
this section of the state and which will
mean more to Americas, Sumter cOun-
" and southwest Georgia, is the stag
ing of the Third Agricultural Fair here
this fall. The necessity and benefits
to be derived need no argument-it
goes without saying,
The banquet recently given by the
fair committee was a means of much
enthusiasm for the project, and within
a few days the citizens who have been
requested to promote the scheme will
visit the citizens soliciting stock in
the organization.
The capital stock is to be $4,000
divided into shares of 500 each, but
through the wise plans of the citizens
it was decided to subdivide the shares
into blocks of one eight, one quarter
and one half making it possible for any
person with however limited means to
join the movement.
Fairs have proved financial success
es when conducted right, and there is
TO reason why the Third Agricultural
district Fair should not with the
business men and promoters now be-
hind the plans.
This section is dependent upon agri-
culture, and it behooves every citizen
to use every means at his disposal to
advance the interests of the science
which furnishes him his daily bread.

Bank
Holds Money

BERLIN, March Most OF the gold
in Germany is in the imperial bank by
now, but that there is still some in
hiding was proved recently when q
Fuerstenwald butcher advertised that
he would sell fat in FIVE pounds lots to
persons who paid in gold, and in one
pound lots to those who paid in paper
or silver.
The advertisement caused verit-
able run on the butcher shop-so
scarce is fat-and at the end of the
first day the butcher was able to turn
in almost thousand marks in gold.
People came not only from Fuersten-
valid but from neighboring towns and
villages with the gold they boarded
up.

Actress

has become an Italian citizen, Agnes

Countess Minotto, or Fraulein Sorma
as she is better known, has been, since
the beginning of the war, Red Cross
nurse, but has frequently appeared on
the stage for the benefit of wounded
soldiers. Her intended appearance at
Hanau was to have been for charity
also.
