TWO-UNIT SYSTEM
STARTS FORD CARS
A-B-o Starting and Lighting
System Runs On One Eighth
Horse Power.
USE WIPE LEATHER BELT

Only one-eighth of horsepower
Is required by the generator with the
A-B-C starting and lighting system
built for the Ford cars. This popular
feature has made sales for the system
since its first appearance on the mar
ket last April.
Before the Abe two-unit system
came out, practically all the electrical
starting and lighting systems built for
Ford cars were of the single unit sys-
tenn, the reason being that the Ford
construction did not seem to lend it.
self readily to a two-unit system.
By furnishing parts that duplicate
somewhat those coming with the car,
installation was simplifed and at
tachment made easy. Removing short
bolts and replacing with longer ones
attaches the electric motor. The
gasoline motor, however, is not made
inaccessible after installation. The
A-B-C system, with proper attention,
should lengthen the life OF batteries
and reduce the cost of renewal 50 per
cent.
"Since the Abe starting and light
ing system made its first appearance
on the market last April" said
Charles P. Sieder, president and gen.
eral manager of the A-B-C Starter
company, Improvements and refine
ments have been made on the sys-
tenn, which with the increased cost of
all sorts of materials, has forced us
to increase the price of the system.
The increase is so small, however,
that it will deter practically no pros
pective purchaser.
Use V-Type Belt.
Zone of the principal improve
ments is the V-type leather belt,
which in the A-B-C system takes the
place of the ordinary chain or smooth
belt. The great fault with the chain
is its noise, and with the smooth
leather belt, its tendency to slip.
"The V-type belt is equipped with
V-shaped leather blocks, which pre-
vent the belt itself from touching the
frequently greasy surface of the three
pulleys on which it drives, and which
always provide sufficient friction to
drive the generator. The belt tension
is also improved"

WAR AND BUSINESS

War is an awful thing, and carries
misery and desolation in its wake, but
so far as business is concerned. as a
cold and sordid proposition, it is slim
ulative.
This war is no exception to other
wars, and now for several years after.
the war is over, business will continue
active.
Before our civil war one could
count our mfllionaires on the fingers
of one hand, but at its termination
millionaires had become SO plentiful
as to excite no particular attention.
Lands that before were drag on
ones hands in the north and west,
suddenly rose in value to more than
one hundred dollars per acre.
History is repeating itself in this
war At the beginning of the present
struggle, buy BALE was heralded
in all the newspapers of the country
as an act of benevolence, but today
cotton has resumed its regal place,
and the price is almost higher than
ever before known, and the tendency
is still upward.
The same thing may be said of
wheat. and corn, and potatoes, and
meat sof all descriptions.
The Atlanta City Builder may well
and truly say that it takes dozen
farmers, mechanics. trainmen, butch.
ers, bakers, tailors and shoemakers to
maintain single soldier.
That paper then goes on to say that
we cannot put million men under
arms without putting at least 10000
900 other. men under the eight-hour
clock.
Factories must work day and night
shifts, railroads will operate extra
trains, produce will ride to port from
every arabic acre on the continent.
Get busy and keep busy. Hire new
help, enlarge your plant, order ma.
chinery at once.
Consumption will not diminish.
Uncle Sam is in the market for more
goods than the members of the new
army and navy individually purchas-
ed, and their sons and daughters. and
wives will soon be holding down their
old jobs of collecting their mems wag-
es, which will in turn be spent at the
grocer's, the department store and the
druggists.
patriotism is flooding Washington
with ready cash and Washington is
shipping it in carload lots to the man
ufacturer and retailer There are no
bread lines ahead. An unprecedented
era OF prosperity is around the bend.
However sad the price, the bust
meas outlook was never better"

OUR ANNUAL FAIRS

The chief end of fair is it's exhib
its. All the work of the year is in
this direction and of course those who
make exhibits are more or less anx-
ious to know how they compare with
those of other exhibitors.
This being true the Banner is print
ing the name of every prize winner in
every department at our last annual
fair
1t is prompted to do this for the fur
Their reason that it does not want the
interest in the fair to lag.
The Banner believes that our an
nual county fairs are stimulative to
more progressive and intensive farm
ing and greater economy in the do
nestle side OF farm life, so it wants
our fairs to become more and more in
touch with all the farmers of the
county.
There is now every reason for our
fairs to continue and grow annually
stronger. for most of the problems,
that caused so much anxiety and APP
peared so big in the beginning have
been met one by one and overcome.
For example, the grounds at first
had to be purchased. then they had to
be fenced. This having been accom-
plished. then the buildings one after
another had to be erected: the grand
stand had to be built and a race track
had to be provided; then cattle pens
and stables, eating and rest booths
and outhouses, all had to be built, and
all cost more or less money
A better building is needed and will
have to be provided for the poultry.
perhaps, but with this exception the
present buildings are all that will be
necessary for a number of years yet
to come
SO the cost of maintaining the fair
in the future ought not to be very
much, and if all will give it a full
measureof support it ought to yield
an annual surplus. which can be used
in many useful ways in making the
fair and the grounds more attractive

WHAT HAS GERMANY ACCOM-
PLIsHEO

Some time ago we wrote an article
very similar to the following one,
which we find in the last issue OF Col
lier's:
Germany, preparing to deal France
death blow, spent forty years per-
fecting the largest ard best equipped
army the world had ever seen. That
army was defeated less than two
months after the outbreak OF the war
and has never gained more than a
temporary advantage over the French
since. Germany decided TO walk
through Belgium in order to strike
more quickly at France. Belgium de-
layed that walk long enough TO
make Frances victory at the Marne
a possibility. Germany made certain
that England would stay out of the
war. England went in. Germany
sent Zeppelins over England 70 scare
her into making peace. A British
volunteer army of million was the
result. Germany introduced poison
gas, liquid fire, and airplanes as inn
portant weapons Gas and fire have
been used against Ter with great sue
cess, and the airplane will probably
bring about her final defeat. Ger
many announced an unrestricted sub
marine warfare that was to bring the
allies to their knees in six months
That was ten months ago. Germany
decided that America would not fight
under any conditions. She found
that. like Cousin Egbert. we could be
pushed just so far. German thor
oughness" is phrase that still has
some sense and significance. but what
humorist ever coined the expression.
German efficiency"

THE LINCOLN DIVISION

Mr.. Watterson suggests that as
Camp Zachary Taylor is composed of
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois men.

birthplace OF Abraham Lincoln, that
the division now there being prepar-

How fitting that the lads in khaki
from Kentucky, from Indiana and
from Illinois should call themselves
the Lincoln Division, and as they set
out upon the march to Berlin should
as lowly as the Son of God, in howell;
of what certain ancestry we know
not and care not: reared in penuary,
squalor, with no CLEAN of light or
fair surroundings; without external
grace, actual or acquired; without
name or fame or official training; it
was reserved for this strange being,
late in life. to be snatched from OBJ
security, raised to supreme command
at supreme moment, and intrusted
with the destiny of nation.
The great leaders of his party. the
most experienced and accomplished
public men of the day. were made to
stand aside, were sent to the rear,
whilst this fantastic figure was led by
unseen hands to the front and given
the reins of power. 1t is immaterial
whether we were for him or against
him, wholly immaterial That during
four years. carrying with them such a
weight of responsibility as the world
never witnessed before, he filed the
vast space allotted him in the eyes

he was inspired of heaven, for no.

wisdom and the virtue indispensable
to his mission.

German Crookedness

One bond of unity in Germany is under
scored in the significant eniark of the
Tageszeitung in regard to the new war loan
Assurances by the government can only be
given in the expectation of a large war in
.demnity." On the one hand the German peo-
pie are being Systematically encouraged to
expect an indemnity, and on the other they
are as systematically taught that without
such indemnity they collectively and indi-
vidually face financial ruin. 1t is a power
fud argument which the German government
is using as ~unscrupulously as a ~get-ricn-quick
inancier.-Springfield Republican.

Why Is 1t Needed

" seems strange that there must be the
present urgent and strenuous appeal to the
people Of this country to buy the Liberty
Loan Bonds. 4hfi
The people are patriotic; they are unani-
NOUS for the war; they have the money;
even hills Of small denomination are suf-
ficient to acquire title to one Of these bonds.
Government bonds are a synonym for rock
ribbed safety in Investments. Now, anyone
with ever the smallest of savings can buy
one. They are no less rock-ribbed than
ever; the entire power of the United States
of America makes them good. It must be
a case Of every fellow waiting for the other
fellow to GET one first. Apparently the peo-
Pile haven't fully assimiIated the close con.
necticn between their patriotism and their
dollars.
This week the government is sending out
an appeal that should waken every man and
woman in the country who has a few dol
lars to put in a safe place. It isn't a contri-
button; it is an opportunity; a gilt-edge bust
ness opportunity; but It Is also a patriotic
opportunity and a vital, pressing, tremen-
dously important duty.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS:

And the man VINO Knows it all puts mighty
little Of it into practice.
Every man is afraid of -germs-unless
they happen to be on a roll Of greenbacks
or a girls lips.
When opportunity knocks at the door OF
a pessimist the pessimist merely remembers
that the world is filled with knockers.
Add it all up and you will find that you
have to pay pretty dearly for the things
THAT you get for nothing.
A fat man would rather be fat than go
hungry. But it is different with a fat woman.
The trouble with the man who is pleased
with himself is that he is usually displeased
with everybody else.
A man may have other troubles that a
boy hasn't. But he doesn't have to worry
for fear there won't be enough pie and ice
cream in the world to go around.
Anyway the old maid has the consolation
of knowing that she doesn't nave to take
in washing to support some worthless man.
