NEW MODEL BUICK PERFORMS
WONDERFULLY UA FLORIDA TRIP
On Trip Atlanta to Tampa New Model
Averages is Miles to Gallon
Gasoline.

On a recent trip from Atlanta, Ga,
to Tampa, Fla, new model E-six-45
Buick averaged is miles to the gallon
of gasoline.
The trip covered 572 miles over every
variety of road-some good, some bad,
and some worse. This brand new car,
with all the stiffness common with any
new machine, performed onderfully.
Not only does the high mileage against
the 10 gasoline consumption speak vol
umes for this Buick car, but the more
remarkable is the fact that every mile
of the 572 miles, so far as the roads
outside of such towns stops were made
at, was negotiated on high gear
Joe B. Johnson the pioneer Buick
dealer of Florida, handling Bucks at
Tampa exclusively for the past nine
or ten years, was at the wheel of this
particular ve-passenger Buick touring
car, and his letter on the subject, he
says
q will take this opportunity to adj
wise you of my trip home i'll E-six-45.
The first night out from Atlanta,
stopped in Triton and the speedometer
registered 203 miles. I spent most OF
the next day visiting in Valdosta, and
the next day made it home, travelling a
distance of 269 miles-and l accom-
plished what l do not believe was ever
obtained before with any other car;
that is, l made the entire trip from
the Buick branch to my shop on high
gear, and I encountered some of all
kinds of roads"
Mr. Johnson, in his letter also states
he had no occasion for even the
slightest mechanical adjustment and
that he believes that the new models
surpass anything that Buick has ever
done beforehand that it means the
Buick Motor Company are today pro-
ducing the best performing motor cars
in the country.
Buick demand keeps the great Buick
factories working to their utmost ca
pacity, every man and every machine
is called on daily for the maximum
product, and still many dealers a re
unable to supply the needs of their
customers. However, the traffic or
ganization of this great concern are
bending every effort, at all times, to
keep the automobiles moving via
freight to the thousands of dealers
scattered in every important town anc
city in the United States.
Nine models comprise the nineteen.
eighteen line, and there is car fol
every need and for every taste; three
models in four cylinder jobs, and six
models with sixty horsepower motors
| OF course, all motors are Buick valve
in-head type-the very foundation OF
Buick success, for it is the spring from
which flows the Incompatible power
and dependability of every Buick car.

"SOCK TT TO HIM"

1t is learned from the New York pF
pers that Mr.. Vincent Aston is raising
a wall about the American taxes which
are being assessed against his hold
ings in this country. His full name is
Viscount William Waldorf Astor. and
he is the same who, departing for
Europe, declared that "Ameroca is no
place for a gentleman to live ill.,"
tor holds a lot of real estate in New
York, from which he collects an
enormous income in rents. OF this
self-expatriated man, Financial Amer
lea, says that he furnishes ammuni-
ton for socialists, anarchists and agi-
tators generally. He does nothing for
America and v has done any
thing for America. yet he draws mil
lions of dollars from America" The
paper qouted from represents the &C
tual feeling in this country when it
further says of this AstcT gentleman
that he "is a parasite and has not
even the pool virtue of gratitude to the
land which gave him birth, liberty and
monumental fortune" And by the
same token America will rejoice the
more monumental tax assessment that
is levied against him. "Sock It to
him." is the sentiment of the Obser-
ver.-Charlotte Observer.

Brigadier-General lCrowder. who

ton and selection foresees no more
complications with the selection and
exemption machinery than was expert

Baker and his advisers repeatedly have
given assurance that the selection sys-
tenn will be so fair that there would be
no ground for fears that any man will
be favored by reason of political or
other relations. In order that neigh
borhood knowledge of a mans work
and his dependents might aid in the
task of sending to the front men who
can be spared at home. the country

ed and. the exemption districts be

STATE ABANDoNs HORSE RAISING A1LIE,

North Carolina is going out Of the
horse raising business.
That announcement was made YES
terday by J. R. Collie, State Prison su-
perintendent, and was the first intima-
ton to a great many people that the
State has ever raised horses. Mr..
Collie AYERS otherwise. and invites in
spectfon of the lot at the State Prison
Farm in Halifax county to prove that
the State is among the best breeders.
On July s., forty colts will De sold at
the farm at Halifax county. The
State Prison Board will meet there at
the same time.
According to the statement Of Mr.
Collie, the State is abandoning This
project because of the high price of
f~eedstuffs. The State went into the.
business without p~asturage provisions
The feed proposition might have been
satisfactorily managed had it not been.
for the recent jump in prices. but now
1t is a matter of simplest mathematics
to see that the continuance ofthe norsa
raising is not economy, and that is GO
ing to be the keynote of the present

The North Carolina Pine Association
will get the lumber contracts for five
out of nine army environments and fur
nish approximately 100000 feet at
$22 a thousands says a spe 'ial from
Washington to the News and Observer.
The sum of money to be paid out
for the pine lumber to be used amount
to about So, 600, 900. The association
will provide lumber for the camps at
the following named places: Columbia.
Petersburg, Annapolis Junction and
Wrightstown, N. j. portions of the
camp sat zap Tank, Long Islnad and
Aver, Mass. Spruce will be used IL
some of the construction work of the
camps at zap Tank and Aver.
This big contract will boost the
price of lumber in the South and will
create a demand for labor all through
the pine region. ~ :
1t may be several days before the
busy season on the camps begins, and
that will give the farmers time to lay
by their crops. The call for labor will
catch many who are resting after the
