 service, the garages and sales agencies have about 400 cars that have not been sold. This means that virutlaly 4,500. 900 of the wealth of Jefferson county Is represented in autos.
 In numbers the little Ford leads them all There are fewer than 800 of any other make in the county. The Maxwell is following the Ford for popularity in numbers, although other prominent makes are pressing it closely for second rank in numbers.
 AS to how much the actual resultant drain on Jefferson county's coffers is, there is no way in which to absolutely determine. It Is estimated by automo- bile experts that the owners of these cars pay 8 substantial tribute to luxury annually. Gasoline, oils, tires. acces- sories, repairs and taxes will cost at least g, 500,000 annually.
 | The depreciation of the automobiles is not considered in the compilation of the upkeep of the cars. The average life of car Is between five and six years, according to some automobile men.

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Charles Edward Russell tells us
that the volunteer system is a
failure, but fails to tell us why.
II Is very simple. The pro-
ducers of this country are getting
wise to the fact that they are
robbed Of four-fifths of what they
produce, and they don't feel like
fighting to perpetuate the system.
At least for so cents a day.
II this government will say to
the working man, we will give you
$3.50 q day, and when your arms
are stacked, you shall have the
same liberties as your officers.
And If you should lose an arm or
leg, you will receive the same
pension as an officer does.
They then can raise an army of
5000, 900 faster than they can
equip them. There is no valid ex-
cuse for CONSUMPTION.

$4,000 yards.
The city could break the grip
Of the monopoly" according to
the labor representatives, II 1t

Another Problem
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
| / would like to ask you what
the government is doing in regard
to moving the abundant crops we
are all in hopes will be raised the
coming season?
The farmers In this section have
been all the way from three weeks
to two months in delivering a few
paltry tons of hay and spuds, on
account Of "car shortage"
We may order cars whenever
we wish. but we seldom get ono
for long time after ordering.
About the first of March the
farmers of Idaho and Utah were
shooting their stock because they
could not get feed, and our farm
ers, here In Yakima, had hay sold
at that time and are still waiting
for cars to deliver some OF It.
They tell us now that they do
not know when we can get cars,
as the government Is using so
many to move the wheat.
Not very much longer than
year ago farmers were known to
shoot their hogs because feed was
SO high and they were being Of
fred so little for their Hogs that 1t
did not pay to keep them and fat
ten them.
At the same time city people
were paying from 26 to 40 cents a
pound for bacon and other pork
products.
certainly hope that we may
raise a bumper crop, but one of
the most vital~things to the farm
er is the marketing, or more par
ticularly the moving Of such a
crop after 1t 10 grown.

NEVER TAKE SODA
FOR INDIGESTION

People who are frequently
troubled with sour, acid stomach
and indigestion and who have
formed the habit of seeking relief
by taking soda or soda-mints after
meals need a warning.
The continued use of soda may
not only irritate the stomach
walls causing them to secrete
more acid and increasing the
trouble, but soda liberates Car
bonic Acid Gas in your stomach,
and this added to the gas you
already have may distend your
stomach walls and in time cause
stomach dilatation, an exceeding
ly difficult disease to cure.
For neutralizing excess acid in
the stomach when food ferments
and sours the best thing is to
take a teaspoonful of pure bisur-
ated magnesia In a little hot or
cold water after meals. This will
generally give relief in from one
to five minutes and then your
food will digest naturally and
normally.
Bisurated Mggnesia is prepared
In both powder form and tablets
never milk or liquid. In the
bisurated form Il is not a laxa-
tive and cannot injure the stom-
ach. Sold by druggists every
where.

Our Food

! have read and heard many re.
marks like liver Myhne's about
the price of eatables, and II has
brought me In mind my mother.
usual saying when prices scared
Better high than not to be had
at ALL"
Raising of wages can remedy
the high price, but what about 1t,
when there Is no SUPPLY
The world has raised enough
food for consumption and the
waste as II was, but does ii raise
enough for this additional waste
OF ocean dumping and European
war devastation? Especially wheat
suffers from this increased sub
traction. Winter wheat a failure,
the next crop q question, what
can we expect?
The increased commerce, dump
ing in that ocean abyss, combined
with the credits to the allies to
enable them to buy our wheat,
brings a serious fact before us.
do not care much for debate
as to honor, but would like the
people to do a little thinking and
ask, who should be responsible
that our country Is insured of
bread for its own population? II
1t is, as / think, the government,
then we better not lose time in
debating about prices, but get at
our government to have our sup
ply insured, the discussion about
prices can follow later.
1t is not our fault when the
world runs short, we did not dump
1t. Why should we starve because
others waste the food?
l think they ought to have a
lesson as my mother give me once.
We had a special cake on the table
and ! was In the habit of giving
away all could lay hands on. A
poor playmate happened to call
while we were at the table, and l
rushed out and gave her my piece.
Returning I WAS going to have an
other, but my mother checked me
and said: you are at perfect lib
erty to give away yours, but mine
l will dispose Of the way 1t suits
me-"
Europe is at liberty to do with
her share of the worlds supply as
she sees fit but our government
should take care that she does not
dump ours. OF course my mother
