Safety First.

For the Advocate.
The Cranberry correspondent to
the Times seems to be a little curious
about young man of Bachman's Val
ley, in regard to making visit at the
head of a certain creek, and says,
He is after fish or game, but is very
shy He does not believe in pub
licity in all things, and if he was
after either one. | don't think he was
looking after a sorrel top, as a rule
they are very inquisitive. So we
think it would be more proper, &C
cOrding to their tender age, to crack
their jokes along the line of their
own sex, and try to find the truth
first. as we don't think it caused as
much exclamation as was expected.
Think Of the phrase, Safety First"

RIrY YOUR SPRING SUPPLIES
EARLIER
far Shortage ON the Railroads Threat
ops Crops and Profits Next Season.


Whether or not the present car
shortage and the cOngested condition
nj shipping on the railroads can be
named on the war, it can certainly
hn considered seriously by the farm
ars who have not yet ordered their
.prjng supplies of fertilizer, seeds,
lime machinery and other supplies.
EarIz shipments are necessary this
snring in order that goods may ar
rive in time for use, and the farmer
who is looking forward to bumper
rrops and large profits next fall must
shortly he doing his spring shopping
before the usual rush season just be-
rnra the opening Of the spring season.
The prosperous seasons for the
farmers throughout the country last
wear. with unusually high prices for
farm products, is expected to result
in 4 much greater use OF fertilizers
and other supplies necessary for large
yields; In ordinary years the ship
lupnts Of fertilizer are usually made
in A period of from six weeks to
eight weeks. The extending of the
season over period of three months is
sought this year by railroads, manu-
facturers and dealers, so that the
cars may be secured and used several
times in getting the shipments to the
destinations promptly.
The ear shortage which, in Sep
rrmher, was 10000 freight cars, had
increased in October to 10000 cars;
i'm N0v mber to 100000 cars, and in
Decent er to approximately 100000
cars. indications are that before the
opening Of the spring shipping sea-
son. conditions will become much
worse. instead of better. Without
the necessary supplies on hand this
-uring. farmers will be faced with
prospects OF short crops and the con-
sumeTs with probabilities of much
higher prices for food products. The
plan OF doing all spring shopping
early promises to affect the entire
country.

Letter From Manchester District.

We learn that Mr.. Fceser. of Silver
Run, Md, who has been successful in
establishing a canning factory in his
home town, has made business trip
to Manchester District, trying to To-
cate a place TO build and operate 4
branch factOry here. This is a good
move in the right direction, and should
be encouraged by our thrifty farming
community.
Our land produces good crops and
of superior quality, then should We
not have canning factory in our
midst, converting the raw material
into goods that will command the
highest prices in the world of COM
merce not only, meaning more money
for our community but will eventually
cause other enterprises to follow.

BUY YOUR TRUCKS
 EARLY" NEW MOTTO

Do your motor truck buying carly
 This is the slogan which is now be- ing heralded across the country for the reason that the government is look ing about with the idea of ordering some 7O,OO0 trucks. Which means that the farmer, the factory owner, the merchant of progressive tendencies ought to get his order in now. to as sure him of his vehicle. For when the United States of America wants things, it usually manages to get them.
 Users of light trucks need not wor- ", however, with the "attachment' company on the job, according to Roy M. Kemp of the Riley Auto-Tire com pany. Utilization of the pleasure car chassis permits the qiuck change from touring car to a ton truck, as IS the case with the Smith Form-a-truck. This firm is not handicapped so long as the pleasure car makers continue to produce their machines, for an out put of 10000 this year is predicted by the production manager of the Smith Motor Truck corporation. However, with Uncle Sam casting about to locate enough trucks to sup ply his tremendous army, chances are that many makes of trucks will be put into use, and that the man who needs commercial power vehicle will do we'll to make his bid while he still has chance of having his efforts re- Warded

OWNERS OF CARS PREPARING TO
 OBEY NEW LAW

There are many indications that Pine Bluff automobile owners are al- ready making their plans Co abide by the terms of the ordinance adopted at the meeting of the council at re- cent meeting, prohibiting the opera tion of motor vehicles not equipped with patest lenses or frosted head lights.
 The question has been raised by some automobile owners, whether the use of dinners would be allowed Ask ed about the matter last night, City Attorney Carl Wood stated that his interpretation of the law is that dim mers will not be allowed and that headlights must have patented lenses or be of frosted glass, these being the terms used in the ordinance.
 The law also specifically prohib- it's the operation of spotlights on any motor driven vehicle on tha streets of the city. The ordinance becomes ef- fective September 1, and already a large number of auto owners have purchased patented lenses for their cars.

RUNS HIS MAXWELL
 AUTO 60,000 MILES

A Maxwell that was driven 60,000 miles since 1910 by Edgar E. Black well, conematographer whose photo, graphy all movie fans have admired. has just been relegated to the auto mobile graveyard by it's owner, who has purchased later model Maxwell:
 When E. R. Thomas built his first car in the old bicycle shop in Buffalo. Blackwell was there. He so desired to possess one of the new cars that he placed his order at once and ob- tained one of the very first of the 100 "one-lungers,' which Thomas turned out in 1901. This car he drove until 1903 when he purchased a car of another make and of far more sub stantial construction for it held to- gether until 1910, when he procured the Maxwell.
 The old Maxwell was driven 60,OOO miles. It has covered every inch of road and much plain, roadless "land-

scape" in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, California. It has been used time and again for camera stand in Black wells motion picture work.
 It has often appeared in scenes. Af- ter the car had been driven 50,000 miles it's owner drove it from Reno, Nevada. to San Diego, and made no repairs during the entire journey,
 But all things made by the hand of man must come to an end. The staunch road conquerer has seen it's day.
 As a farewell trip Blackwell drove the car to San Francisco and back last week, and then bade it goodbye, gave it to the junk man, and purchased a new 1917 Maxwell from the Lord Mo- tor Car company of Los Angles.
 Blackwell is confident that the rec ord of the older car will be upheld by the handsome new Maxwell which has taken it's place.

BRISCOE CAR SOME MUDDER,
 SAYS DOCTOR.
Owner Grows Enthusiastic After Hard Trip Over Almost Impossible
 Roads.

That the Briscoe "24" can get there and back under any conditions, as well as any car in the business, is the opin- ion of c. V. Winsett, leading physician and surgeon of Prophetstown, Ill.,, writing under recent date to the dealer from whom he bought the car-Dr. Winsett says in part:
 "Just a few words of praise for the Briscoe PA I feel that you have it coming and it might interest you to know just what she really can do.
 "The bottom fell out of the roads around here several days ago. Few have attempted to go even on the best roads near here and many of them
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-08-19

have been hauled out of tho bottom less mud.
 "At noon today, I received tele- phone call to come 6 1-2 miles south east of here over the worst road around here. Many advised me not to try. it as I would never get back. As could not get a team from either livery barn, decided to tackle it.. Several people watched me start and enc advised me against it. told them if my car could not go where any car could, l would eat it.
 q put her through F miles of gum bo mud with no apparent bottom. | made about two-thirds of it on middle speed and the rest on the f0w. was right to the hubs nearly all the time.

It was some test and the Bris- COG came through with flying colors.

RID STOMACH OF
 GASES, S0URNESS,
 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" Relieves Stomach Distress in Five
 Minutes,

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad--or an uncertain one--or harmful one--your stomach is too valuable: you musn't injure it with drastic drugs.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's speed in giving relief; it's harmless ness; it's certin unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its quick relief in indigestion, dys- pepsia and gastritis when caused by acidity has made it famous the world over.
 Keep this wonderful stomach sweet ener in your home--keep it handy get large fifty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, fermcnts and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nausea: ercutations of acid and un- digcsted food-remember as soon as Pape's Diapapsin comes in contact with the stomach it helps to neutraize the excessive acidity, then all the stom- ach distress caused by it disappears. It's promptncss, certainty and ease in overcoming such stomach disorders is a rev clation to those who try it.-Adv.
