The only automobile in Germany
running on pneumatic tires is Kai-

Prince is denied this luxury. Along

Won Mackensen and the other dia-

the anthology Of facts gathered by
Victor Van der Linde, special techni
cal representative OF The B. F. Good

who just returned from Europe af-

not to be had at all, except at a

German scientists have tried to
,imprOvise for the scarcity of rubber
, by compounding what they call
synthetic rubber said Mr.. Van

been unsuccessful. There is not
an ounce Of crude rubber in it at
all and therefore it is devoid OF f.

Z" Germany had little crude rubber
in stock at the outbreak Of the war.
Since then she has been depending
on what she could smuggle through
the mails and what she could buy
from Sweden. Single sheets Of rub
Der were sent in letters from the
United States until Great Britain
opened these and conf1scated the
contents. After this channel had
been closed she purchased large
numbers Of AUTOMOBILES in this
country and had them shipped to
Sweden. There she stripper the
automobiles Of the tires and aban-
doned brand new machines to the
Swedes. But now Great Britain
permits no ears shipped to Sweden
with tire equipment

yailing price Of tires in the follow

"a TRAITORS FATE"

He who secretly or overtly,
tries to thwart the declared will
and aim of the nation in this holy
war, is traitor, and a traitors
fate should be his"
That is the most striking sentence
from the address delivered today at
Harrisburg, Pa, by Otto H. Kahn, of
New York, whose name indicates his
ancestry, but whose sentiments reflect
his intense patriotism and American
ism.
Moreover. the thought expressed by
him is typical of feeling which is
rapidly becoming rampant throughout
the width and breadth of the United
States-a feeling that is going to drive
out of public Office and into political
oblivion, if not to much worse fate,
luoc OuIlSu koldl65 S6HdlOTS, ISpTeS6UL-
atiyes, and editors whose despicable
efforts have tended to obstruct the
war program of the government and
u bring discredit abroad upon this
nation.
A traitors te"-sometimes it is
represented by limp body, with
broken neck, dangling beneath trap
door, and sometimes it is typifed by a
blindfolded man, facing a firing squad
and falling in crumpled heap with a
bullet in the heart.
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Kahns
ringing sentences will be read, and
pondered over, by such men as LaFol-
lette and Hardwick, whose perfdious
politics have brought them perilously
close to the point emphasized by the
New York banker.

Hard on The Salaried Man.

These are trying times on the fellow
who is trying to work his way through
life on salary. Those who have in
times past been able to beat the groc-
eryman to it in a few instances and
buy eggs and chickens, turnips, beans,
fruit, etc, from the farm wagon, are
now denied this bit of saving, for the
wagons have ceased to come around.
The farmers wife is not selling eggs,
or if she does she comes skeeting into
town In an automobile, and she has
no time to be stopping in the residence
section to trade with the economists,
Not only have the chickens and eggs
ceased to come in, but the grape man,
the cane-juice man, the potato man,
the sugar cane seller, the turnip seller
and the country butter seller have all
gone out Of business. For many years
there have come wagon load after wa,
gon load of pears to Moultrie to be re-
tailed out to families desiring to pre-
serve them, but this year the pears
stayed at home. There was an unpre-
eedented peach crop made but very few
of them came to town. 1t was necessary
Ito go out and hunt them up. There
are merchants in Moultrie who send

The Real Housewife.

. Did you ever note how many women
are seen on the streets daily, many of
them six days in the week, dressed in
the very best?
We often wonder if they don't spend
acre or less money every trip down
town, and if they don't realize that it
takes five times more clothes for
them than it does for the woman who
attends to her household duties, and
goes down town when she has busi-
ress and only when it is necessary.
The woman who thinks her home is
only a place to eat and sleep has a

the support of his family, is entitled

everything pertaining to Catholicism
has made him bitter and vltuperativa
critic of President Wilson, and his
conduct in opposing the war program
the very program that he proposed
when Wilson was apparently on the
other side-may be attributed largely
to his intense antagonism to the presi-
dent.
But now is Mr. Watson's oppor-
tunity to redeem himself-a great
and glorious chance. It is one that
ny men would lay down their lives
and die for. Now is the time when
Thomas E. Watson can do big act, a
noble, manly deed-he can demonstrate
t. the people Of the United States, if
he only will, that he is a great big
man, and, above all, more than all,
that he is a red-booded American, a
patriot! He can multiply his follow
ers by one single performance, so that
he will have a thousand admirers
where now he has but one. He can
achieve all this by simly admitting
he was wrong by merely admitting
he erred-by proclaiming his peni-
tence.

Or will he allow name that was

succeed in leading Americas into a
consummation of these three projects,

Yet all three can easily represent
an achievement of only several months

Americas should operate a rest

Americas should establish a play

Americas should have a municipal
