SERMON ON AUTOMOBILES
HEARD AT NJ. E. CHURCI

Rev. Robert A. Clark pastor Of
the First Methodist Church, preach
ed to large congregation Sunday
morning GA q subject dealing with
the uses Of automobiles, good roads
and various other phases in this con-
nection.
A special inyitation was extended
to all of the members of his congre-
cation having in their possession
an automobile. As q result about
so cars were parked along the streets
leading to the church, and before
the hour of the sermon the church
auditorium was packed to its capa-
city.
During the minister's discourse,
which was exceedingly practical,
he reminded his hearers Of the great
good Of the automobile, when right
" used. He also pointed out the
many disadvantages these machines
had brought to families and indi-
viduals without sufficient means to
afford such q luxury. In this con-
nection he spoke of the vanity which
is enslaving peaple who are eagerly
seeking to become conspicuous and
appear wealthy in the eyes of their
neighbor friends. He denounced the
unnecessary extravaganza so com
monty INDUCED in by the average
automobile owner, but he ii not
hesitate to praise the usefulness of
the same. In conclusion he read
some very interesting statistics
showing in comparison that fewer
deaths occur from automobile acct
dents every year, and during the
past year more deaths resulted from
accidents in ordinary vehicles than
in the former. He advocated the
improvement of all the public high
ways and remarked that roads in the
distant parts of the county were in
much better condition than our pre-
tended streets in Covington.
As the congregation was dismissed
they were halted in front of the
building where several photographs
were made

PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN
IN Upton COUNTY

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. During
the week Of the pledge card cam
paign Of October q to October rs,
when 100000 family units in Tennes-
see will be asked and expected to
join the national food administra-
ton for the saving of food. Upton
county will be expected to secure
5000 enrolluents. The state cam
paign committee has made rs per
cent of the family units according to
the last federal census, the goal for
each county and the above are the
figures for this county.
Between now and the date for the
signature campaign it is expected
that the chairman, men and women,
of the county council of defense will
have completed the organization of
the county for securing the sigma
lures. Canvassers will be appointed
in each community, the territory Of
the county having been previously
divided by the county council, and
during the week Of the signature
canvass every family will be CIV
en- the opportunity to sign a card,
The card is simple. BY signing one
simply becomes a member of the ma
tional food administration, pledging
cooperation to the government in
its effort to conserve the food sup
ply Of the county to the end that
there may be enough for our gal
liant soldiers and heroic seamen and
for our valiant allies.
No one is expected or asked to
eat less, but to eat more wisely.
There is a great shortage of wheat,
of meats, of sugars and ats. These
things are needed and will be needed
in increasingly large amounts for
shipments over seas if we are to
win the war. The American house
wives are asked to substitute pota-
toes and corn for flour bread as far
as possible, leaving a larger guam
tity of wheat for export. They are
asked to substitute beans and peas
and other proteins for meats and to
use more, poultry and less bacon
and beef and mutton. Sugar is
scarce in Europe. For months the
French and British have been on all
lowance that is less than one-fifth of
the normal consumption per capita
Of this country. The people are ask
ed to use more sorghum and syrups
and less sugar.
This &is movement that should
appeal to both the patriotism and
the spirit of thrift of the American
people The more fats and sugars
and bacon and beef saved. the better
off they will be financially and at
the same time they will be just as
healthy. Not only that they will be
rendering an inestimable service to
the nation and to the heroic allies
who have for three long and des-
perate years been fighting our bat
ties, the battles of civilization and
humanity.
Reports from all over The state in
dictate that this movement is meet
ing with the most enthusiastic re-
ception and that the 100000 enlist
ments asked in this state will be
easily secured. Practically every
in the state has pledged
the most hearty cooperation. Ev-
cry department Of the state govern
ment, the churches, the clubs. the
commercial organizations. the bank
ers, the colored organizations, all
are behind this movement.

period between the starting and final
conclusion which must Of necessity be
a long period of years.
The proposal in this bill is to chop
of at the District lines the property
which is to be taken, and take only the
property within the District of Colum-
bia. although II is recognized in an
other part of the bill that the property
outside of the District of Columbia is
necessary to a proper service for the
people in the District. Although this
is recognized. no power is given, nor is
any necessity recognized. of providing
for a continuation of the existing re-

Of this bill goes in one leap past the

starts his propaganda of government

term in his argument an experiment.
an experiment which, If made, he frank

eminent ownership of all the tele-

It Is apparent from the testimony that
the end he aims at will necessitate the
expenditure by the government in the
purchase OF the Bell telephone system
OF over one billion dollars in the first
instance, and the continuing expendi-
ture of untold millions for future de-
veiopment and extension. This does
not include any purchase of new or

Counsel for Telephone Com

Would Bring Chaos.
CAREFUL STUDY IS URGED

A vigorous attack on Representative
Lewis bill providing for government
ownership of the District telephone
system marked the closing today Of ar
guments on the bill by John L. Swayze,
general counsel Of tho Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company and asso-
ciated companies, before the House Dis
trict committee.
For several days Mr.. Swayze has been
before the committee. developing the
legal objections to the experiment
which Representative Lewis has urged
should be tried out in Washington. The
closing of his testimony marked the
near approach Of the end Of the COM
mittee hearings on the Lewis bill It
Is considered probable that Representa-
tive Lewis will wish to appear before
the committee before both sides close
their arguments.

Mr.. swayze said, in part, this morn

Seldom have examined a bill so
carelessly drawn. particularly when the
Importance of the subject dealt with is
considered. This bill is drawn with an
utter disregard Of tho simplest and
plainest legal rights Of the telephone
company, and attempts, by a vicious
subterfuge. to bring about a settlement
OF the great economic question of gov
eminent ownership.
