First Liberty Motor Truck;
Built Secretly, is Completed

LIMA, o., Oct. 9.-The first Liberty
motor truck for the United States
army, product OF the greatest motor
truck designers of the country and the
combined genius of twelve motor
truck plants and So automobile parts
factories, was completed here today at
q local manufacturing plant.
The standardized machine Of which
35, 900 copies will be turned out in the
first half of 1918 for the army, is said
to represent the perfection of automo-
bile truck development It's motor
power Is derived from the new Liberty
motor. recently perfected at Washing
ton by war department experts.
Lima Is preparing for a great pa
trdotic demonstration when the new
army truck is given its first road test,
probably late this week. High army
officers, including the quartermaster-
general and possibly Secretary of War
Baker, are arranging to attend. Fol-
lowing tests at the factory, the truck
will start on an endurance run to the
East.
Built In Secrecy.
The first Liberty motor truck was
built In the greatest secrecy to pro-
tect 1t from enemy eyes. A building
without windows and lighted only by
skylights housed the truck during the
three weeks of its construction. The
plant was closely guarded by armed
men night and day.
AS an added precaution, a second
truck was assembled In an eastern

the powers allied with the United States against

the powers allied with the United States against
Germany.
Profiting by the mistakes of the entente pow
ers, our government passed legislation which 9th
er nations debated two years before they enact
ed it. The CONSUMPTION bill was passed in
comparatively short period It took Great
Britain two years before Parliament enacted the
measure.
The war credits it authorized and the meas
ure it passed to raise revenue reflect the gigantic
scale of our entrance into the war and the deter
mination Of our Congress to make our advent
commensurate with the power and wealth of our
people.
Six weeks after our break with Germany the
Seective Draft act was law Within four
ships in our ports had been seized A month lat
ter the espionage bin was law.
Congress authorized $3.50, 100000 for the con-
struction of an air fleet. Maritime construction
obtained an appropriation of $75o,oO0,OoO. The
greatest bond issue in our history was voted.
The total of the appropriations passed by this
Congress was $21, 1870, 730,940.
Few of us can comprehend the enormous sum
involved in this expenditure All of us are agreed
that it must be raised and spent in the prosecu-
ton of the conflict in which we are engaged. The
expenditures of former congresses have been
criticised but no murmur of protest arises in this
instance.
Members of congress and the political par
ties represented evidenced patriotism of the high
est order when they united to push through the
legislation asked for by the President. Party
lines ceased to exist. A united nation backed the
government.

Fountain City's Sub Ground Depot

a factory for wool, was built in 1888
by Isaac and Jesse Reynolds and Eli
Osborne.
VIM. Moses and Hiram Hough es-
tablished factory for stoves and cast
ings in 1843, but only run it year.
In the year of 1923 the first saw mill
was put into operation by Jonathan
Hough. David Wolcutt and Aaron
Reynolds were also pioneers in this
industry.
BENJAMIN Pitts, in 1847, opened up
the first gunsmith shop, and his guns
are spoken of as being of unusual
quality In the same year Job Rey-
nolds operated -four mill with the
first turbine water wheel.
Major Lacey also mentioned the
Davidsons, the Houghs, and the Crock
cts who operated blacksmith shops
from the year 1927, and the fact that
clay was used for pottery by Samuel
Barnes and Joseph Fisher.
First Timers
Daniel Stock and JOHN Kline are
spoken of as the first timers; the
Orbanks operating the first tan yard,
also pioneer of the name of Cyrus
Pucket. Charles Gordon operated the
first harness shop, in the early thirties.

City Losing Its Thirst

The excise clerk of Kansas City says he be-
lieves that at least $50 of the $40 saloons will not
ask for liquor license renewals on January 4. The
increased cost of the product and of doing bust
ness, as well as growing disposition to let liquor
alone is assigned as the cause. Statistics show
that the saloon business has made the following
decline in Kansas City: 1914, 615 saloons; 1915,
500 saloons 1916, $50 saloons; 1917, $40 saloons
1918, 500 (estimated) The figures indicate that
Kansas City is losing its thirst.

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind. Oct O.
Major NJ NJ. Lacey said Monday that
a party Of slave owners during the
troublous times of the Civil war ar
rived in Fountain City, and after
search for runaway slaves, said there
must be tunnel or underground rail-
way from this place to Richmond, as
they had evidently been spirited away,
although traced to this city. Hence
the term, Underground Railway"
mentioned in Harriet Beecher Stoves
Uncle Toms Cabin" meant Fountain
City, he said.
AS for the incident of Eliza dashing
over the Ohio river with her baby in
her arms, the thrilling story was
founded on fact. Major Lacey's bro
Their, William Lacey. at that time re-
siding near the north side of the Ohio
river, was the man who helped Eliza
as she reached the bank, assisting her
literally from a block of ice as she
vas exhausted by her heroic dash
There were three stations, he added,
where runaway slaves were assisted
to cross, one being at the upper end
of Cincinnati Evansville was another
station, and Fountain City was an
other on the way.
Coffin Built First Stead
Levi Coffin, when the town was
called New Port, built the first old
homestead, in 1918. and in 1888 bought
the first grist mill that had been es-
tablished by George Shugart In 1920.
He was a prominent member of the
Friends church, built here in 1880. and
became president of the association
formed to help the runaway slaves.
Major Lacey also remembers that
besides his brother, William, two fam
lilies named Huff and Hough were
assistants in this work of humanity
The Friends church at that time was
divided by a partition, the sexes in
the congregation being separated.
In time this separation was remov-
ed, and the partition torn down to be
used for barn purposes, while the
church itself was remodeled into q
modern edifce The old homestead
of the Collins is one of the treasured
landmarks of pioneer times in Foun
tain City.
Reverting again to the incident OF
ELIAS deash across the Ohio river,
Major Lacey remembers when Eli Cot
fin and his wife made trip to Canada
TO visit Eliza, her baby, and her hus-
band. The old folks never tired tell
ing the happiness they felt at rescu
