Automobile Important
Factor in Winning War

Have you considered what big
part the automobile is playing in the
winning of the war;" says John n.
WHY'S, president of The WHY'S
Overland Company.
Everybody knows, you tell me-
that the railroads are the very back
bone of our war preparation.
wonder now many realize that
the automobile is as much a part OF
our vast transportation system as
the trains and tracks themselves?
DID you ever stop to think what
happens TO men and material after
the railroad delivers them to the
station? DO you realize that tre-
mendous gain in speed we have
achieved in moving men and ma
tcrials by means of the automobile?
Limited only by roads, the motor
car goes anywhere, relieving conges-
tion. moving hundreds of thousands
of people and millions of tons of ma
terials rapidly to where they are
needed in hurry.
mo community is too small or too
ence.
"One very prominent contractor
told me that without automobile
transportation. the building of the
would have been delayed at least six
months.
1--WE are told in graphic detail how
the automobile made possible the sue
cess OF the battle of the Marne.
"A few weeks ago tens of thou
sands of automobiles We're hurrying
through the country enlisting sub
scriptions among the farmers for the
Second Liberty Loan.
"A few weeks before that. more
thousands of automobiles were en-
listed in the campaign to raise $780,
000.000 for Red Cross.
THE automobile again was called
into service to help raise $40, 900, 900
for the Y. NJ c. A. Camp Recreation
Fund.
nc less important in the work OF
winning the war is the automobile in
its everyday use among farmers. OF
the million automobiles. probably
one-half are driven by farmers. With
his speedy, convenient car, the farmer
runs his errands to town, takes in
! produce. brings back supplies day
after day. adding hours to the work
| ing part of every day.
J "Ot equal value is the intricate use
of the automobile made by the Ameri-
can businessman. II you walk down
| find the curb lined with automo
| biles. Every car there represents
some one on an errand, and every car
| there means an hour or two added to
| it's owners useful day.
Probably no factor in all of our
| business machiner" is more vital to
our success than the automobile. The
! 100000 automobiles in this country
| day. and every mile they travel is
! saving time and energy and money.
| I'm this war, as never before. we
! are brought to realization of the
overwhelming Importance of this
rewer arm of our transportation sys-
! tenn"

SAFETY IN THE SOUTH
Farmers Urged to Produce and
Conserve Food Supply.
National Problem of Defense as I'M
portant as Men, Guns, Ships and
Cannon-Do Not Increase
Acreage in Cotton.

By BRADFORD KNAPP, Chief of Co
Operative Extension Work. States Re-
lations Service, Department of Agricul-
ture.)
For nearly three years l have done
my best to warn you to prepare for
the present emergency. For years we
have tried to encourage diversification
in the South as a basis for greater
safety, both agricultural and economic.
Since the war began in Europe we have
urged safe farming. When prices were
low you did well and made great prog
reSs. When cotton went to IS cents
and over you made large profits be-
cause of your progress in safe farm
ing, but some We're tempted to go back
to cotton. In common with many other
men, | have tried TO warn you of that
danger. Cotton has not been high but
has only increased in somewhat less
proportion than food and feed.
Now the crisis is here! This great
nation must arouse herself for a
mighty struggle for liberty. People
without food and armies without ra-
tons are conquered before they can be-
gin to fight Our greatest safety now
lies in food production and in saving
the waste products.
If the South is to be strong she must
have food. If this country is to be
strong she must be well fed and have
an abundance to sustain those friendly
people who are even now fighting our
battles for liberty and democracy.
Transportation may be disturbed.
Your own defense requires you to pro-
duce and conserve your food supply.
Don't fail now, 1t is a national prob
lem of defense as important as men
and guns ships and cannon.
Business men, if seed is short can
yass the situation like patriots and get
the seed for farmers. Arrange the
credits. Furnish farmers seed corn,
SOY beans, cOWpeaS, velvet beans, pea
nuts sorghum, etc. at cost. See that
all things necessary TO help farmers
are done. OF course, we must produce
cotton. bVt with q moderate acrea &c
and a good season there will be enough
Do not sacrifice acres of food TO in
crease your acreage in cotton. Look
ahead, Get the warehouses, the feeC
mills. shelters, cleaning stations, cream
cries. packing plants. etc. ready. Io}

Bracelet is Ancient Ornament.

By the Romans bracelets were first
used as a reward for valOr, CurtluS
Dantius receiving no fewer than 100
of these decorations. Among the Wom-
en- of Rome as of Greece the craze for
this form of adornment spread to an
extent to call forth the condemnation
Of Cicero. From Rome some centuries
after the Christian era the custom OF
bracelet wearing spread to eastern
Europe and thence to Britain. Edgar,
best and wisest of the line of Saxon
kings, bestowed bracelets upon the
men and women Of his court, while
the Danes, making peace with Alfred
the Great, swore fidelity upon them.
Through nearly ten centuries have
bracelets in one form or another main
tanned a strong hold upon the affec-
tons of women, although until the
time of Benvenuto Cellini they had
been crudely simple in form and de-
sign.
