pectiye buying class. There remain
then 100000 farm families who are
possible automobile buyers.
In the urban class, covered by H.
900 towns and cities OF more than five
hundred population, there are about
100000 home owners of which num-
Der only 100000 now own cars Ac-
cordingly, there remain 100000 pros
pective buyers in this class, or total
actual classes of 100000 possible au-
tomobile buyers.
THE accepted average life of an
automobile is about five years in the
hands of the original owners; and as
the man who once owns car will not
thereafter be without one, we must
include the recorder market which in
the calendar year of 1917 will be
about 100000 this being 90 per cent.
of the 100000 now in use.
For the year 1917, therefore. the
automobile business will face a mar
ket of about 100000 possible buyers.
Not more than 100000 cars will be
built in the coming year, leaving a
possible excess market OF 5000. 600
buyers at the beginning OF 1918.

1t is with pleasure that we offer

brought to you may be multiplied
many times in the year that is to

May you find good fortune awaiting
you at every turn; may there be little
TO disturb your serenity. and nothing
to interfere with your happiness.
May you find the going sIIooth;
may you take the hills easily and at
the close OF every day have cause to
look hopefully forward to the next.

The town authorities are beginning
crusade for a neat, as well as a
sanitary town. And certainly the cit
liens r going to help towards this
end by meeting their part of the re-
quirements. The street department
has mapped out a regular system for
removing garbage, ashes, etc., and
surely we, individual citizens, can
meet their regulations with regard to
such things.
ARE We going to encourage them
by cooperation or are we going to
prove ourselves unworthy of the best
things in life, cleanliness and health?
It is up to us to show right % wheth-
er we want a clean town and a heal
thy town, or whether we are 80 be-
nighted that we love to live in dirt
and squalor. Well never believe the
latter of the people Of GREENWOOD
until we see it. The Southern Railway
has promised to make a parkway of
it's right-of-way through the town and
to give US brick crossings over it's
tracks and l know we are going to
feel kood when THAT is done. Mr..
Dean has promised the use of the
great beautiful lot on the corner of
Carrollton Avenue and l Ave. to the
white citizens in that part of the town,
as a play ground for the children, and
they are to fix it for that as soon as
the water goes down so that he can get
his stock out. We are promised that
the town will drain it and put a light
in it and have some benches there, and
the band to go there certain nights in
THE week to play. We hope we are
to have places, two for the white cit
izens and two for the colored citizens,
where every citizen will have the priv
ilege Of going and canning all the sur
plus vegetables he or she has, and,
while it is just that they shall pay for
this with q certain proportion of their
vegetables-raw-it will not cost them
anything else for the use Of the plant,
So have PLENTY of beans and
PLENTY Of tomatoes, or any other
vegetable you can have, to put up

SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN PROSPECT.

alton with regard to having a clean
and healthy town. We are much
pleased to see that there has been
great improvement over two years
ago, but there is STILL ROOM for
MUCH improvement. What does it
profit us to have all these beautiful
public buildings and all these nice
churches-the best of any town for it's
size in the State-and then live in
filth and dirt! What does it profit us
to have money if we can't use it to
the end that our OWN premises and
surroundings are clean and healthy?
What is education for if it can't teach
us to love cleanliness enough to HAVE
it? What does our religion amount to,
if it doesn't make us consider the
rights of others to have cleanliness
prevail in their neighbors-our-
homes and premises? We may make
long prayers and busy ourselves much
about church affairs, but if we keep
u premises in such condition as to
breed flies and our neighbor takes
typhoid fever and dies, it does not
take the quilt for his death from our
souls. W. MUST let our children have
a fair chance to be an improvement
over ourselves and how can they do it
brought up in al u~nsanitary and an
unsightly town? W. must give them
other food than that which passes
through their mouths into their stom.
ach. We must bring them up in such
surroundings that they will develop
spiritually, as well as physically. They
have a right to. expect that of US. For
they are here by no consent of theirs,
and having brought them, into the
world we owe it to them to give them
the opportunity to develop in every
direction. Their souls will be required
OF US by the God who gave them into
our keeping. And can we delude our
selves into thinking we are doing our
full duty to them when for lack Of
exertion on u part we fail to give
them every opportunity for Develop
ment in every direction? So let's all
to work with a will, and with deter
mination to have a clean and beauti-
full town. WE are working hard be-
cause we believe we will have your
cooperation.
Yours truly,

0'Brien Thinks Carp
And Crappies Best
In Waters of State

Lincoln, Jan. 9.-(Special Fish
to cut the cost of living, not fish to
tempt the sporty anglers eye, is the
unitarian idea of State Fish Commits
sioner O'Brien, in his annual report
to Governor Neville.
He appeals to be allowed to stock
the shallow and marshy waters of Ne
braska with German carp, instead of
trying in vain to get bass and fancy
breeds to thrive there The sports
man would protest, he says, but the
man who can't accord porterhouse
would welcome the suggestion.
More crappies and more yellow
bullheads is his idea, too, common
fish that thrive in Nebraska waters.
He axis for an appropriation for
new fish car, the present one being
outgrown. A wooden car would cost
$4,000 and a steel one $4,000
The department distributed l4,W,-
545 fish in 1916, of which ll,176700
were wall eyed pike, 2l,000 were carp,
$50 gold fish. The bullfrog, whose
neither extremeties are relished by
epicures, had his species "sown" in
Nebraska ponds to the number OF 3D.
200. The sale of fish for private
ponds amounted to $722.
The department., in 1916, realized
$73,432 from licenses and $2,4S4.l7
from fines.

GERMANS CONTINUE
DRIVE IN MOLDAYIA

THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS
(By Associated Press.)

Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
drive against the Sereth line in south
ern Moldavia continues to gain
ground and the Teutonic thrust
against the Moldavian mountains
flanking operations now under way
likewise is showing progress.
Pushing northward from Fokshani
the fortress position captured yester-
day southwest of the Sereth and near
the center of the line, Won Macken-
sens troops have driven the Russians
across the Putna and are now ham,
mering at new position they have
taken up there.
Further southeast, toward the Dan
ube, the Russians are now beginning
to yield again, according to Berlin,
losing another town which the Aus
tro-German forces held against coun-
ter attacks delivered last night
The total of prisoners taken by the
Tcutonic armies in the operations Of
yesterday and the previous day is
now reported by Berlin as approx
mately $500, together with three can
non and ten machine guns.
While the Russians are continuing
their offensive in the region between
Divinsk and Riga along the northern
end OF the line in Russia they are
meeting with no further successes in
the vicinity Of the River "A.
On the Franco-Belgian front there
have been only raiding operations
and artillery duels.
