from high-speed long-distance work.
The vibration set up through the imper-
feet cushioning it affords has quickly bat
tered to pieces even the strongest trucks
in such usage.
High gasoline and fabrication costs, cou-
pied with hisincredibly swift depreciation,
in most cases have made long-haul rapid
transit by truck obviously impracticable.
But all this handicap, all this undue ex-
pense, all this Awitatiou Of The true and
ultimate JVnct1ou Of the m0t0r truck is striped
az0ay no70, by the advent of Goodyear
Cord Tires for heavy truck service.
These tires are pneumatic tires-of size,
character and capacity such as the average
man has never seen.
They are as large of girth as the base of
trunk-line telephone pole, and they have
a carrying capacity greater than that Of
the ordinary truck itself
Evening star., 1917-10-05

They are swift, able and resilient; they
all previous experience; they afford the
comfort and protection of limousine to
carrier, driver and load.
Goodyear Cord Tires for Motor Trucks
are in no way an experiment-they are
development of fifteen years time.
They are the practical expression of an
old Good year idea, brought to final sue
cess only A10ngh the pe17ecton Of the Good-
gear principle Of cord tire construction.
They disencumber the motor truck of
every hindrance to fast overland travel,
and endow it with a speed, range and
variety of employment such as has hitherto
never been possible.
Right now they are serving to signal ad-
vantage on heavy-duty trucks in more
than 200 cities in this country.

Qmickemer of the Pace of Trade

AMERICAN business, swiftest and
~ most daring among that of all the
L y peoples of the world, yet moves
with shackled feet.
The motor truck, potentially its most serv-
icea bic auxiliary, never has been utilized
to the limit of its efficiency
AS a carrier the motor truck has so far
attempted to replace only the horse in the
hauling of merchandise.
Conditions of its use have so limited its
performance that it could not compete
with any form of transportation requiring
long hauls at high her speeds
Undoubtedly one of the chief handicaps
to the realization in full of the motor
trucks usefulness has been the solid rub
Der tire.
While undeniably sufficient for short hauls
at slow speed through congested districts,
it nevertheless has barred the motor truck

transports ranging in capacity up to FIVE
tons, regularly is plying over a 1500-mile
round-trlp, cross-country circuit and beat
ing the one-way express service bya full day.
Speeds in excess of thirty miles an hour
are attained by these trucks, without dam
age to the roads or themselves.
Elsewhere, in interurban and passenger
service, in the delivery of foodstufs or of
fragile wares, in all manner of safe-conduct
rapid-transit- Goodyear Cord Tires for
Motor Trucks likewise are delivering su-
perlatlve service.
By speed, endurance and economy pre-
viousl ly unequalled in any such carrier,
they are efficiently and prohtably quick
ening the pace of American trade.

Interesting Canning Demonstration.

One of the most interesting and
perhaps the most important canning
demonstration was given here Tues
day by Mr. Franz Lund, Mrs Dora D
Walker and Miss Amanda Edwards,
that it has been the privilege of our
people to witness. The demonstra-
ton was, of course, under the aus:
peices of the farm and home demon
stration work departments of the
State and federal governments and
its scope covered a wider field than
any similar exhibition. ever held
here, the work of Mr. LIND and his
capable assistants embracing as it
did the process of drying fruits and
vegetables, and while the process OF
canning covered a greater variety
of vegetables and fruits than ever
before, it also included fresh meats
and fish. Much interest was manifest
ed and the court house square pre-
sented a scene of unusual activity
among the ladies of town during the
whole afternoon.

In response to a call issued by the

teen Kingstree ladies met in the

and organized a chapter of the Wo-

During the past ten days or two
weeks a section of the county chain
gang has been engaged in cleaning
out bitches, etc, in the town with a
view, on the part of the mayor and
police force. of putting it in good
sanitary order for summer. The
drainage canal, too, has been clean
ed out, and, so far as we were able
to see and competent to judge. the
work has been fairly we'll done.
Now it is up to residents to look af-
ter their individual premises; to
keep back yards free of garbage
and stables and necessary outhouses
in sanitary condition. A free use
of lime is suggested. but better still
for the prevention of fly breeding is
an occasional sprinkling of paris
green. A solution may be prepared
by using one teaspoonful of paris
green to one gallon of water. which
can be applied to manure or garbage
piles with the ordinary hand sprin-
kler. Don't wait until an inspector
comes round and makes you put
your premises in order. Do it now,
so that he will find them in a sani-
tary condition when he looks them
over.

Evangelistic Meetings Concluded.

The series of evangelistic services
which began in the Presbyterian
church here May 2 ended last night,
and never has Kingstree enjoyed a
more blessed two weeks Of spiritual
refreshment. At every service the
congregations were very large, at
times taxing the capacity of the au-
ditorium. The interest of the people
in the earnest and eloquent present
atoms by Rev DR. J Ernest Thacker
of the glorious truths of the gospel
was unabated to the end, and feel
ing of sadness pervades the commu-
nifty that such a pleasure may no
longer be enjoyed here for time.
No less interest was manifested in
the music, under the efficient leader
ship of Mr. Jas w Jelks. His large
choir has eagerly embraced the op-
portunity for his invaluable instruc-
tions, and his delightful voice held
the congregations entranced. The
interest of the children in the choir
was especially noticeable.
The ladies' Of the community en-
joyed a rare treat Sunday afternoon
IN Mrs Thacker's address upon The
Human Touch" at the Presbyterian
church.
DR. Thacker and Mr. Jelks left last
night, the former for Birmingham.
Ala, to attend'the General Assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian church,
and the latter returned to his home

Castle of Halberg, at that
time in the possession of the
late Freiherr Won Stumm, whom the
emperor often visited.
l think, however, that our host be-
came secretly irritased at the frequent
visits of his imperial guest, for certain
ty what with the establishment of the
special telegraph to Berlin and a spe-
cial post office, and the finding of ac-
commOdation for the crowd of person
cost poor old Won Stumm a consider
able amount.
| had already been busy upstairs in
the room allotted to me, and had come
out to take walk in the warm and
welcome sunshine, when suddenly l
saw the emperor in a suit of brown
civilian clothes striding towards me.
He seemed to be in humorous mood
and joked with me as l walked beside
him.
Suddenly he halted, as though re-
collecting something and asked:
"Heltzendorff, have you with you
some of our paper for important docu'
ments?"
Certainly" was my reply.
"Ah then please place some of II
with envelopes upon my table, and also
wire to Berlin to send here ten cou-
riers."
"Ten couriers?" 1 echoed in surprise.
Eyes, ten. l may want even twelve
or more"
Just before eight o'clock that night
l was informed that the couriers were
waiting below, and on descending
found six of the imperial messengers
and four from the ministry of foreign
affairs, ready to travel anywhere, even
to the uttermost ends of the earth.
A Stupendous Hoax.
On informing his majesty, the lat
ter handed to me about thirty of the
great blue envelopes containing "docu-
ments of the highest importance" adj
dressed in his own hand to various of
ficers Of state, princes, princesses, and
other prominent people in all parts of
the empire.
"These are to be taken at once, Helt-
Zendorff," the emperor said. "The mes
sengers are to bring US replies"
"In every caseT 1 asked.
"Yes. In every case" he answered.
Then / carried the batch of corre-
spondence below, and much puzzled at
the nature of this latest activity in
private letter-writing, / handed them
to the couriers, who sorted them out
and distributed them among them
selves.
Half an hour later the documents
were being conveyed to various parts
of the empire.
When / returned to the study 1
found the kaiser laughing quietly to
himself, and wondered what could be
the reason. He signed some docu-
ments read to him, but ever and anon
a broad smile would cross his usually
stern features.
Until a week afterwards I did not
learn the cause of the imperial merri-
ment. but when did burst into loud
daughter myself.
Those envelopes containing "docu-
ments of highest importance" each con-
tained only a comic postcard, which
the emperor had purchased during a
visit to Saarbruck.
The kaiser had played a huge joke
upon those whom lie despised, for the
delivery Of these formidable imperial
dispatches created a great stir in the

time in the nOSSeSSiOn of the
