RED CROSS NOTES

The newspapers have kindly con-
scented to give space each week for
Red Cross items.
"In as much as ye have done it I'M
to one of the least-Ye have done it
unto me-" ~.
Do you wear a button with a small
Red Cross?
Our "Tag Day" will come early in
October. Get ready for it.
The Pennington Chapter-of the Red
Cross started to work in earnest this
week, with the four sewing units, the
order for garments having been filled
last week.
The chairmen and captains of the
sewing units are: Mrs. o. J. May
berry, Miss Huss; Mrs. j. H. Jones,
Mrs. Geo. Raines; Mrs. M. P. Cayce,
Mrs. ]. S. Clay; Mrs. E, A. Rozier,
Mrs. Henry Guessing. The days are
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday.
Don't wait to be asked to sew. Vol
unteer. Your country needs you.
Bismarck is organizing a branch
chapter this week. Mr.. Hugh Steel
and Mrs. Butler are the chairman and
vice chairman.
Did you know that three hundred
new members were added to the Flat
River Red Cross Chapter, at the pic
mic Labor Day?
Much of the success of the Labor
Day picnic at Flat River was due to
the untiring efforts of Mrs. F. L.
Keith, the vice chairman Of the Flat
River Chapter, and her co-workers
who so ably assisted her.
Statistics show $4,000 garments
last little over two weeks in the ar
my. Can't you give little of your
time, from 2 p. m. to p. M, one af-
ternoon?
Be prompt to obey your country's
call. What is the sacrifice of little
time and money, when others are Civ
ing their life blood for you. Don't
live on another's heroism.
If you can't sew and can Knit a.
home, phone to Mrs. Geo. Tetley,
your vice chairman, and consult her.
More sewing machines are needed
badly for the work. Can you offer
one?
Don't forget that room No. 10. in
the High School building is the Red
Cross room.
One of our doctors answered his
country's call and sailed for France a
week ago. Let US who stay at home
encourage by every means in our own
power, the patriotic mission to which
DR.. Watkins and many other of our
American physicians are giving their
skill and experience.

CLUB MEETING POSTPONED

The meeting that had been called
for Tuesday night, to have been held
in the Circuit Court room, was dis
appointment in regard to the very
few who had the best interests of
Pennington sufficiently at heart to
put in their appearance at that pro,
posed meeting. 1t was suggested
that the selection of date so near
the first of the month, while also inn
mediately followed a legal holiday,
was perhaps the cause of the very
small attendance, as many merchants
and business men were even then at
work on unfinished business for the
preceding month.
The Times hopes that this eXplar1a-
ton is satisfactory, as it has no de-
sire to think of the business men Of
Pennington as being so neglectful of
their apparent duty as to willfully abb
sent themselves from a proposed or
ganization of a Commercial Club,
which organization must, of necessity,
prove to be of special Importance to
every business man. But these ex-
cuses appear, even to the writer, to
be almost threadbare. They do not
appear to be weighty enough to de-
tain a really live business man for a
proposed organization of a Commercial
Club.
But another chance will be given to
the merchants and business men OF
Pennington to demonstrate that they
are really solicitous for the future
welfare of this city and community
If the next opportunity to assist Farm
ington to bigger and better things is
permitted to go by, then there is no
telling when another such opportuni-
ty will be presented to the inhabitants
Of Pennington. No attempt was made
Tuesday evening at permanent or
ganization. In fact the meeting was
not called to order, but adjourned af-
ter determining to make another at
tempt at holding meeting on next
Tuesday night, Sept. II, at 1880
o'clock. If you come half hour late
you may be deprived of part of the
benefits of the meeting; if you are
an hour late, then the meeting may be
adjourned when you get there. Be on
time. That is one of the principal
characteristics of real business man.

pEATH or GEORGE 3. GALE


George B. Gale, one Of our most es-
Unable citizens, died of heart trouble
at his home in Pennington at $40
o'clock Wednesday morning, Septem-
Der 5, 1917, aged AZ years, months
and A days. Mr.. Gale had break
down several years ago, but finally
rallied and was able to resume charge
of his business, and it was hoped by
his family and many friends that he
had fully recovered his strength. Last
week, however, he suffered a recur-
renee Of his heart weakness, from
which all efforts to restore his hearts
action were in vain, and he sank
peacefully to rest on Wednesday
morning.
George B. Gale was born near Fred
ericktown, Madison county, May LIST,
| 1869, and was a son of L. H. and Sa-
rah NJ. Gale. He was married to Nell
lie Barry, daughter of the late Judge
W.. S. Barry, of near DeLassus, on
May 10, 1892. To this union were
born six children-four daughters,
Blanche, Esther, Geraldine and Naomi,
and two sons. Virgil and Clyde. Vir-
gil is at the Marine training camp in
Virginia. On October 4, 1914, his
wife died, and he was again married
on December 80, 1915, to Miss Mar
garet Gillespie, daughter of R. RI Gil
lespie of Pennington, who with his
children, survive TO mourn his death
and to whom the sympathy of many
friends is extended in their great sor.
row and irreparable loss.
George B. Gale was a man of the
highest type of Christian character
one of natures noblemen. In his fam.
lily associations affectionate considera'
ton and parental love dominated. Fol
about twelve years prior to his deatf
he was president and business mana
ger of the Miners Lumber Company a
Flat River, and in his business rela
tons the strictest integrity, courtes!
end geniality marked all his dealings
AS a citizen he was one whose infiu
ence for good and the public welfart
was strongly felt. He had been an &C
tive member of the Christian Churcl
for many years, and was an elder o
the Pennington congregation of tina
church. His labors here, as in all tn
other relations of life, were for tn
advancement and upbuilding of tn
Masters cause, which drew to hin
the love, confidence and esteem of al
the membership. His place will loni
be missed and he will be lovingly re
: membered. He died as he had lived
in the full faith and hope of his Re
t deemer's precious assurances an
: promises.
"Blessed are they that do His com
: mandments, that they may have RICH
4 to the tree of life and may enter i
through the gates into the city,"
l Funeral services will be held at tn
= Christian Church at 1870 this after
e noon, and the remains will then b
5 taken TO Fredericktown for intermen

WORK THE ROADS

One of the most pressing questions
in the country districts at this season
is the working of the neighborhood
roads. Usually the main thorough
fares are taken care of by the county
or township authorities but there are
many cross country and neighborhood
roads that never see the road over
seer and his crew. These are up to
the people themselves to keep in pass
able condition. .a fRf
In years past our people were pose
sessed with a notion that the care of
the public thoroughfares was a matter
for the state or county entirely, and
that personally we need not concern
ourselves further than to pay our
taxes or contribute our assessed quo
ia of labor.
Of late, however, we ere awakening
to the fact that the roads are in fact
OUR roads, and that neglect of them
is neglect of our own property. They
are one of our greatest assets, more
especially if they be GOOD roads.
They are doubly important just at
this time, wilcn the item of transpor-
tation is one of the greatest questions
confronting the country.
The urge has gone out from WASH
ington that the American people use
their best endeavors that their every
effort be made to count to the full,
that no effort be wasted. From one
end of the land to the other end the
crops will soon be moving over the
country roads. If these roads are
what they should be, motive power
will be expended to the best advan-
tage; if these crops are dragged
through mud, gullies and over rocks
and stumps, much of the motive pow
err will be wasted-and waste" is the
one, word we are urged to eliminate
from our vocabulary. 4-.c :,

power INCREASED
BY ADDING VALVE
CAPACITY in CAR

Marking the elimination OF q def.
nit, policy formed two years ago. the
sfour-cylinder car with ITS l6 valves,
which was exhibited by the White
company this season for the first line.
is one OF the outstanding features of
1917 motor car construction, and
proves that this type OF an engine
has been developed TO the highest pos
sibie form of efficiency. T..
For years engineers of the White
company have asserted that valve ef-
ficiency is more vital thar me .1un-
Der OF cylinders and they have also
eontended that any power AMI nexibil-
ity secured by the multiplying cylm.
ders can also be produced more effect
lively by increasing the valve capacity
OF the four-cylinder engine. IL was
with this idea in mind that the White
company decided to put on the mar
ket the four-cylinder car with Its IS
valves. ~ !. ~.
In each cylinder of the new White
car are a double set of valves A
counter-balanced crankshaft and light
er reciprocating parts make the new
model one of the most remarkable au,
tomobiles developed in recent years.
II has a fast getaway, and rs 4 hill
climber equals any other motor Car.
There are many advantages to be
found In the new model" says S. 5.
PaXson of Schuman Carriage Compa-
ny, distributors of the White motor
cars, which are not obtainable in 9TH
err automobiles The double valve de.
sign permits the use of two small
valves which actually admit no more
fuel than one large valve. Valve
pockets are practically eliminated by
locating the valves in four corners of
the cylinders. This admits the full
charge of fuel, as the valves are in
clined inward at the top and set close
to the cylinder wall, permitting the
gases to be drawn into the combustion
chamber.
The combustion chamber is almost
uniform in shape The spark plugs
are placed in the exact center of the
cylinder head. making the explosions
occur over the center OF the piston
With no pockets to fill and the cham
Der of small size, each explosion is
a great deal more powerful than pro-
duced by an engine of the same size
if the valve capacity were smaller.
Burned gases are discharged from
the chamber and there is no dead gas
left remaining in the cylinder to inn
pair the incoming fresh charge. The
complete. combustion and exhaust
makes the 16-yalve four practically
free from carbon deposits. All valve
noise is eliminated by the use of small
ler-sized valves.
There is no doubt that the new en-.

DETROIT, MichH Feb. 1.-THE

subject OF the day in local automo-
bile racing circles. Not content with
laurels captured at hill-climbs. with

els; and with records piled up in Off
cial tests on Chicago. New York and
other speedwayS. the Hudson Motor
Car Company. this city, is going after
the speed crown in competition with
all American and foreign-built, ma
chimes this season. putting out a
team of at least five Super-Sixes.
Arthur Hin, late OF the PeugeOt
team. has been selected TO guide the
activities of the Super-SiXes in their
careers on the speedways. ..>
Hill announced today that Ralph
Milford would hold the star racing
wheel for the Hudson Motor Car
company's team for this year. The
nomination OF other well-known
drivers will be made shortly and Hill
states that when the Super-SiXes go
to the starting line for the first time
their destiny will be in the hands
of the brightest stars in the racing
armament. ...... ..
II has not been announced yet at
which event these new gasoline pro-
PEELED thoroughbreds will make their
initial appearance, but Americas an

INTERNAL ARDRIVE ideal
FOR TRUCKS, SAYS AUTHORITY

After rigid investigations and costly
experiments extending over a period
OF many years motor truck manufae-
turers have learned that there are
three types Of drive. which give the
most efficient results on trucks These
are the chain, internal gear and worm
drives.
aInasmueh as maintenance is
part OF inc mileage cost. says an
auto expert. OF the Republic internal
gear drive truck, simplicity and free
dom from delicate adjustments Is an
essential factor in the selection OF a
truck
an this respect. as will be admit
ted by every fair-minded builder OF
trucks. the internal gear drive mas no
equal, including the other two types
of drive-the worm and chain. The
principal feature about the internal
gear is that IL offers less inspiring
weight. This means tire and fuel
economy in the long run, an impor-
tant factor in these days OF high
priced gasoline and rubber.
Careless Driver Menace
Perhaps the greatest menace to
truck owners today is the careless
Oliver, who so often neglects to lubri-
cate the motor truck Now a truck
equipped with the internal gear drive
eliminates this menace, or rather evil,
as such q truck only needs iubrica-
ton once in every six months. There
are many instances also where trucks
or this class have run as far as 10000
miles without fabrication, with no
damage to their mechanism. This is
alone enough to recommend that one
buy a truck equipped with an internal
gear drive.
"Of the three types OF drives used
by manufacturers today on the COM
mercial vehicles and chain is possibly
the oldest known and IL has two i'm.
portant factors in its favor. When a
truck is equipped with this kind of a
drive the load is carried on dead axles.
Another point in its favor is that the
application of power Is exerted at a
point that makes for the least expen-
diture When a chain and sprockets
are new they win yield power also
with little waste.
However. these things occur only
under ideal conditions, which, Of
course, is not the kind or truck drive
fer owners who desire machine that
will render real hard commercial serv-
ice, As TO the consideration OF the
worm drive. it may be dismissed in
a few words--it has been found re-
peatedIy to be impractlcable for truck
work. With the elimination OF these
two drives. one is led TO adopt the in
ternal gear drive as the only practi-
cal and logical drive made today for
truck work.
Plan Huge Output
The internal gear drive is used in
all Republic trucks, but IT shows to

DENVER, CoIo.--I am convinced
that after the war is over the subject
Of foreign markets is going to be
studied much more closely by the au-
tomobile manufacturers in general
The war itself has done great deal
to open American eyes TO the posi-.
bilities OF foreign trade. For one thing
it has familiarized the average man
with the world map and shown him
how dependent the various countries
are upon one another
Foreign connections so far made by
this company have been desirable in
every respect 1t has been my ex-
perience that firm 5000 miles away
that has the initiative required to
make a connection wit an American
manufacturer is pretty high cali
bered business institution.
Another thing that makes foreign
business most desirable is the fact
that when II is winter in this country
II is summer in the temperate zone
south of the equator and the selling
season is at its height Thus, IL ex-
port trade is sufficiently cultivated
factory production schedules can run
at the same speed the year around,

JAPAN FOR CAR
OF right PRICE

~ n i matter of surprise to a
great muhy people that. in spite OF
the Iindoubted advances made by
the lapanesc nation in all spheres
or civilization and the number of
fairly wealthy people in the coun-
try, the mol0ycar has made com
parat!vely little Roadway. In large
town like Osaka, the Manchester
and Liverpool combined of Japan.
there are perhaps only about 30
mcto.cats. although the population
probably LorderS upon one million.
A similar proportion exists through
cut the other large cities in Japan.
whilst in tho country districts the
mUtcrear is. OF course, practically
unknown.
Yet there is nothing the Japanese
likes better than to ride in motor
car Moreover, large numbers of
Japanese are now quite wealthy
enough TO be able to make the ne
cessary expenditure for a small car,
whilst an increasing number are be-
coming very rich and could well af-
ford TO maintain the most expensive
cars.
This being the case, it might APP
pear at first sight somewhat diff
cult to explain the very small num-
Der of cars in Japan. One of the
chief reasons lies undoubtedly in the
poor roads which exist in the coun-
try, most of them being so narrow
that even an ordinary four-seater is
apt to get into difficulties, and pass
ing another car or vehicle is fire.
quently well-nigh impossible.
AT the present time. as might
be expected, the military party is in
power. and all the military authori-
ties have been very much impressed
by the important part played by the
motorcar in the war, and the abso-
lutte necessity for good roads. AS a
result 1t is almost certain that
schemes will be put in hand at once
for the Improvement and widening
of all Japanese roads with the OBJ
jeet of rendering them suitable for
moderately heavy motorcar traffic.
Such a transformation will of ne
cessity take considerable time, and
meanwhile it is desirable to cater
for the would-be motorist by put.
ting forward to him car that is
quite suitable for present-day con-
ditions This leads us to the Sec
ond reason for the absence of motor
ing in Japan-that neither British
