ANOTHER IMPOSSIBLE
Continued from page FOUR

jority of states and nations have
swung over to prohibition. A great
war has demonstrated the necessity
for prohibition. The great demand
for help, the shortage OF people IN
almost all industries has wiped out
the saloon keepers argument That ne
has to do something to make Nv
ing. The man who would argue
using great quantities Of grain Tor
brewing purposes would only be
mobbed nova days, and II he adVo-
Gated taking an army OF men and
hWomen from useful persuits simply
to make liquor he would be rebuked
by alf\with whom he talked. Ten
wears ago the United States army
thad it's canteen practices and can
teen treasury, and there were no re-
strictions as to what kind OF busl-
ness Md vice fiourished at the edge
of AMI army encampment. Now every
precaution is taken to see that men
have no liquor and are not tempted
to>Seek it. A zone of several miles
faround each cantonment is jealousy
guarded against immortality, as much
as the public school ground was Ten
wears ago. What would have been
an impossible condition ten years
ago ia now an accepted situation and
none but near lunatic would ques-
ton the propriety OF II.

FORD AUTO AGENCY
WARNS BUYERS
Advises All Who Want a Car to
Place Order. Now For
Future Delivery

All motorists and business men in
terested in Ford cars-and what
man. woman or child Is not interest
ed in the famed universal auto?-
will do we'll to heed the warning OF
the Bills Auto company, local Ford
dealers, when it tells them to place
their orders early.
1t Is no joke about all this stor-
age of cars. While the big Ford fac
tory and the numerous assembling
plants all over the country are today
handling about the normal number
of Fords, how long it will keep up
no one can tell. Henry Ford has
already set apart portion of his i'm
mense factory to make supplies for
the national government and may be
compelled to turn over more OF the
factory. 1t is understood the giant
Ford organization is to help out In
the aircraft war scheme.
"Now is the time to order your
Ford" said Mr.. Bills. Don't wait,
expecting to get a new car in the
spring on short notice. Get your
order in now, and even then the de-
livery may be delayed, as it will
have to take its turn. But those
who order Fords now stand good
chance of getting delivery during the
next two months, or even sooner
than that -s

FARMER BUYS A TRUCK

e. v. Call of Wapello is the pio-
neer farmer in the matter OF buying
a truck for farm work. He bought
the Ford one-ton truck shipped in
by the Bills Auto company recently.
Mr.. Call purchased the truck to 40
his hauling in all places where ne
can go with the truck and make bet
ter time than he can with a team.
After he has used it some and made
comparisons of it's work and that
of a team, considered the gasoline
and oil and the time saved for him
self, and considered the cost of feed
ing the team for the same amount OF
time and the difference in work &C
complished, he may be able to give
his fellow farmers some very inter
esting figures.
Probably nobody questions the ad
vantage of having truck when one
has to make trip to town with 9
load. or when there is anything tt
be hauled on a good firm road, bu'
there are-so-naanE-pr problems to be
studfed out as to how far the truCf
can go in short hauls and poor roads
it makes Mr.. Calls venture an inter
esting one.
Swan Berg of Pingree purchased
Ford car recently and put on trucl
box and is using 1t for quick Worl
and light loads.

new AERIAL TORCH
Enables Scout to Make 0bserva-
tons at Night.
Capable Of Illuminating Battlefield,
Protecting Itself, Finally Explod-
ina With Terrific Effect.

Prominent military officers have ex-
pressed their approval Of fiaring
torch, the late development of Texas
inventor, that is primarily designed to
enable an aerial scout to make obser'
vations behind enemy lines at night.
The instrument has number or
ingenious features, and as a whole
the earmarks Of being not only an eff
fective, but also a destructive wea-
pom. 1t Is potentially capable OF brill
liantly Illuminating a considerable
area of battlefield for period of ten
minutes, formidably protecting itself
against disturbance In the meantime.
and finally exploding, destroying what.
ever may be within 80 or 40 feet.
1t has three major parts. The base
consists of a pointed cone that houses
a heavy bomb. On one side Of this Is
fxed a cylinder holding a quantity OF
powder for printing purposes. At the
middle, radiating In all directions Q
couple of feet from the bottom, are ID
rife barrels arranged In tiers Of seven.
Surmounting these Is tank contain
ing a special powder that gives of an
intense light when ignited. Gaping
the top Is a parachute-shaped reflector
that serves the double function OF
properly distributing the light rays
and in a degree breaking the fall OF
the torch, which Is supposed to be
dropped from an airplane.
In its present form the apparatus
weighs SO pounds, and it Is estimated
that three or four like 1t could be con-
veniently carried by military biplane
As needed, they would be released by
the observer so as to strike desired
points within the enemy's lines. The
device Is balanced 80 that 1t falls point
down, and from an average height will
penetrate the. ground for distance Of
about foot, thus firmly anchoring 1t
self.
The resulting impact discharges 9
percussion cap that ignites the cylin
der of printing powder. This touches
off the Illuminating substance and ig
mites a series Of time fuses connecting
each of the rifles. While the torcf
flares brightly, throwing its light in al
directions across a field, the rifles dis
charge one after the other, making AM
attempt to overturn 1t exceedingl!
hazardous. At the same time tina
the light extinguishes itself fus'
leading to the bomb in the base II
lighted. The explosion Of the latte
demolishes the torch and does damag'
to anything near 1t.

LETTER FROM U. s.
OFFICER IN FRANCE
NV Dear Chandler:

MY DcaT CHauulST.
Your letter Of long ago has re-
NAMED unanswered only because |
had no time for my friends, my and
your enemy has kept me too busy.
We are progressing in fine style
in framing future plans and getting
prepared for the army. 1t Is q stu
pendous job as you may realize, but
one worth while.
Please guide our people in being
patient. / fear that their ignorance
of military questions will make them
clamor for action and results in the
near future. Tell them to think OF
England. Only this year, after three
years, she has produced an army
worthy of the name. We will be
faster, but not ten times faster.
General Pershing and his assist
ants are bending every brain cell and
muscle to do this job and will be
successful If the people help by CIV
ing their calm confidence.
Please excuse the above but can
see into the future far enough to
realize that our people will soon
wonder what is doing. I Therefore
men of your standing and military
knowledge can help us in this par
| ticular.
Sorry the censor prevents my writ
ing details.
Sincerely yours,
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-11-27

NEW FIGHTING MACHINES
CONTINUED from page FOUR

Continued from page FOUR
what like a caterpiller tractor, COM
monty called a tracklayer now, with
a heavy hood of steel covering 1t all
over and reaching down about to the
ground. They are an English inven-
ton, but the tracklayer part may
have been appropriated from the
American machine for blowing.
The use of the tanks has forced
the fighting again into the open tc
some extent-a thing the allies have
devoutly wished for these many
months. The cavalry played an i'm
portant part when the fences were

and bayonet in the open raised tn
fighters from the station OF rats II
