for nearly sixteen miles we were in
the suburbs of the city. The streets
! were simply awful. Talk about Bere-
tania street. Why, at its very worst,
it was never like the streets we rode.
Passed by the National Envelope Co.,
the Ledger Lock Co., and the Naval
Military training station where they
are putting up hundreds Of tents and
buildings. We saw a sign reading,
Damn the Torpedo" The weather
is very cold and cloudy. We passed
by the Lake Shore country Club; it is
about three times the size of your

Every town we passed through was

gan, and we crossed the Wisconsin
Illinois state line about 11:45 o'clock,

1,35 p. m. We were caught in a
slight shower of rain, which was the
second shower since we had started
on our trip, 1t was windy when we
reached Milwaukee, and Chicago GER
tainly holds it's reputation of being the
Windy City" The day we arrived
in Chicago, the Soldiers Band was
parading the streets, carrying signs or
banners reading: I'VE are going to
France and then to Berlin" Chicago

majority of the E. H Lewis party had

1t is a "Merry-go-round" trip, taking

and you can ask for a transfer on the
regular street service and go in any

road that goes twenty-five miles ont
into the country.
We also visited the City Hall which
covers an entire city block, and is Of

frances to the building
| During the afternoon we rode all
over the city, having Mrs. Medsger as
our guide, lady who has visited Ho.
noiulu, and friend of Mrs. Lewis.
She took us through the various parks,
Chicago has four large ones, and over
miles of beautiful boulevards.
, Boats BY The Million
| Lake Michigan is the watering
place, and there are hundreds of
boats; all descriptions and kinds,
around the lake. There is another
lake, but small, across the road from
Lake Michigan, and the entrance is
under the street, SO that boats can get
out on the Lake Michigan at will, and
should judge that most of the boats
are anchored in this small lake at
night.
/ Some of the old buildings and boats
! that were in use during the Worlds
fair over twenty years ago are still in
evidence, and the same are visited by
/ thousands of tourists.

which has just gone into effect a

to use both hands on the wheel while
driving in the park. No one-hand

/ Sunday afternoon, Aug. 26.-We left
the Grand Pacific hotel in Mrs Meds-
ger machine. She took us out the
west side of the city on a new boule-
! ward that had only just been opened
up some two months before-a fine

The labor unions are very strong

are miles of paved streets throughout
the city, both block and concrete. One

- HE cost of motoring is steadily
decreasing. H.. .... g..


u Tires are higher, gasoline is
higher, oil Is higher, the ears them
selves are being advanced somewhat
in price, and yet the motorist of 1917
is riding at a lower cost per mile than
he did in 1910. '- -:.
The present economy Of motor car
travelling comes as the direct result
of advances in automobile engineer
ing and big quality production.
In 1910 an automobile purchaser
paid around. $500 for big heavy
car that ate up gallon Of gasoline
every six or seven miles, that wore
out tires every three or four thou.
sand miles, and that-lilke most auto
mobiles built in those days-was in
the repair shop a good deal of the
time. F.. 49,.
In 1917 the automobile purchaser
can secure a car for nearly half the
price of 1910 that he wouldn't trade
for several of the 1910 models OF
many motor car manufacturers. He
gets double and treble the mileage out
OF a gallon of gas Or set of tires.
His 1917 car runs days, nights and
Sundays, winter and summer, with
only an occasional tuning up and
adjustment. a. H.
When you add in the time a 1917
motorist saves in hundred ways
over the motorist of 1910, when you
add in the vastly increased comfort
and pleasure of the 1917 motorist
over the motorist of 1910, and when
you take into consideration the added
travelling radius, the added cleanli-
ness and added luxury-well, your
present day motorist has a decided
edge on his predecessor of seven
years ago.

THE CALL is TO EVERYBODY.

The greatest war tax measure ever
enacted by the law-making body of
this country became effective with the
signature of President Wilson on the
3rd of October. The effect of it will be
felt in practically every American
home for some time to come. But the
requirement should be met without a
whimper from any quarter. Let the
fact be borne in mind that our strong
Young men are offering their lives in
defense of country and It becomes the
bounden duty of the folks It home to
provide means for their support. Let
those of us who are not subject to
draft remember that the financial bur-
den of the war rests upon should
ers. The boys on the firing line must
be clothed and fed and supplied with
ammunition. The question of sup
plying the mean should be considered
of minor Importance in comparison
with the sacrifice of life life and limb.
Our boys are facing bullets. We can
certainly face the tax gatherer in a
cheerful spirit in the drive to meet
the urgent needs of our defenders in
the conflict.
The war tax bill which became eff
~fecctive last week touches directly or
indirectly the pocketbook of every
body in the country, through taxes on
incomes, excess profits, liquor, to-
bacco, soft drinks, passenger and
freight transportation, medicines,
chewing gum, amusements, musical
instruments, talking machine records.
cigars and snuff, life and fire insur-
ance policies, club dues, promissory
notes, bills of sale. cigarettes, sport
ing goods, patent medicines and. many
other things, including estates, in
comes, war profits, and other Injuries
of the wealthy classes. The tax will
fall upon the rich and DOOR alike, in
proportion to their ability to pay. A
patriotic without any friiIs.

1917 AS A CROP TEAR.

The country is now well into the
month of October when frost regulates
the size Of the corn CROP The worst
is ver and the fact IS of recognition
that under all circumstances the far
mers will gather an enormous crop.
That it will not measure up to the pre-
dictfon of a few weeks ago matters
nothing. Jack Frost has played his
hand for the season of 1917 and he has
still left the farmers with about as
much corn as they will know what to
do with. The Government crop esti-
mates throw away $4,000, 900 bushels
and leave over 1000, 900 900 bushels
for the farmers to bring in out of the
rain. There is also a surplus of
wheat and the cotton crop is going to
re of just about the right size to com
mand exhtlarating prices. There car
be no complaint to lodge against 1917
as an agricultural year.-CharIotte

BREAD INSTEAD OF BOOZE.

On September 8th, at II o'clock p.
all the licensed distilleries of the
United States ceased wasting corn and
other food products. in the manufac-
ture of Whiskey. The liquor mills,
both great and small, were closed un-
der the national food administration
law by orders from Washington to in
ternal revenue collectors in every sec
ton of-the country, which were to the
effect that al tubs in the distilleriea
must be empty of beer as the whisk-
ey brew is called, exactly on the hour
named. The object sought by this
prohibitive legislation was the conser-
walton of the food and feed supply of
the country and the dealers who here
fore have supplied the distillertes
with grain will have to find a new
market for their products. And it is
well. The people must have bread.
They do not need booze.
The government estimates a saving
of $4,000, 900 bushels of grain a year,
mostly corn, by this legislation.
There is an unprecedented demand,
both at home and abroad, for the food
products that have been going into
the manufacture of alcoholic bever-
ages, so little difficulty will be expert
enced in placing whatever surplus
may appear in any section OF the
Union. The new law, in addition to
closing distillerfes, prohibits the i'm
portation of distilled spirits during
the period of the war and empowers
the President to limit the output OF
beer, ale and light wines, and even to
stop their manufacture altogether, if
he deems such a step necessary in
connection withthe conservation of
the food supply of the country. It is
better to be safe than to be sorryIand

II SECOND ISSUE.

- -.
The patriotic American citizen IS
face to face with the second issue of
Liberty Loan Bonds. Three billion
dollars is the amount for which the
people are asked to subscribe during
the month of October. Americas
part in this war is costing
and will cost more. It is expensive
business, but "the quickest way out
is straight through" Many of our
young men volunteered their services
in Uncle Sans cause, and numbers of
others later responded to the-caII.
They are now either in training
camps, or at the front aiding their
country in carrying on the struggle
for freedom and democracy. Life is
the dearest thing in the world, but
t~heseSboys are offering theirs on the
altar of the country which gave them
birth and is now endeavoring to pro-
tect their loved ones.
1t is a good deal easier to stay at
home than it is to go and fight, and
much less hazardous. 1t may neces-
itaLe g little effort and ON sacrifice
to buy a bond, but bear in mind that
every bond you agree to take and pay
for is Strengthening the arm of. your
government in avenging the murders
of the innocent women and helpless
children Germany has wilfully slaugh-
tered without reason or excuse. Slack
ers amongst the men subject to draft
are dubbed towards and traitors. Is
1t not an equally serious crime to
withhold support from the govern
ment in the call for funds to main
fasR<ou~ armies on the fedl? 1t may
neeessitate inconvenience and self
denial to buy a bond but it will be
worth the price.
Germany is keeping, close watch on
every move the United States makes
and the people of this county should
