Mr.. Chas Schmitt, our auctioneer,
deserves a great deal of credit. His
, heart was in sympathy with the great
, work for which he was selling things,
that the people fairly emptied their
pockets in answer to his cries for bids.
The school house was beautifully
decorated for the occasion, Mrs FRAZIER
donating her flags and bunting. The
honor flag had place of prominence
The young ladies drill did the girls
credit, and everyone realizing the great
need of our country at this time, gave
r their best.
}. Mrs. Ashcraft presented a very cred
+ table program, considering the short
time in which she had to prepare it
!, Several patriotic war songs wert
rendered which added much "JAZ'
l.. to the occasion.

that section of the world. The doc

Nov York-Washington Airplane Mail
n COMPLETE Success.

a few weeks ago airplane mali
service was inaugurated daily lex
cept Sunday between Washington,
Philadelphia and New York City.
The three hour schedule calls for a
speed of Is miles per hour for the
entire distance of shout 225 miles.
While slight delays occurred during
the first few trips, soon the pilots
learned the route and they have
since been carrying the mail betwee,
The postage rate was at first fixet
at "a cents per ounce, but was re
duced, on July 18th, to 16 cents for
the first ounce and 6 cents for each
additional ounce. This being but
little more than the cost of special
delivery letter by regular mail and
only about half the cost of a ten
word telegram. and the time requir
ed for delivery being about the same
as a telegram and only about half
that of regular mail, the new service
is steadily increasing in popularity
and usefulness.
The entire direct and indirect cost
of this new service per trip is esti-
mated at $4,000 as against possible
postage receipts of about 100000
per trip. This makes a still further
reduction in aeropostal rates botf
possible and probable. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
the gasoline consumption is at the
rate of about "a miles per gallon
or but little greater than that of
large automobile.
The project thus far is a success
in every way and, as soon as there
is a let-up in the war-requirements
for airplanes, aerial mail lines viii
be rapidly extended to all parts OF
the country.

The advantages are briefly:
1. Do quickly, heavy work whe1
it should be done.
2. Saving man and horsepower.
France is under handicap. She has
opened up pasture lands with trac
tors and increased production from
one-ffth to four-fifths of their con-
sumption.
Disadvantages are:
Difficulty of getting efficient oper-
ators. Cost. Delay in getting re-
pairs. Decreased office force and
transportation service responsible
for latter.
Tractor not suited for everything.
locks, soft spots, sand, hills, are
handicaps but these are no longer
great hindrance. Some tractor
specially adapted for hills, others
for wet ground or sand. Select the
kind you need.
Uses are draw-bar, and belt. The
former, plowing, narrowing, rolling
spreading manure, loading hay
binder, building bitches, wagoning
The latter, filling silo, threshing
feed mills, shredders, etc.
Reports in Maryland indicate
tractors profitable on 100 acre farms

be large enough for the maximum

Di tributlon OF Home Cards Post.
nOned

Distribution OF Home Cards Post.
poned.
Because of the epidemic of Span
ish influenza throughout the coun
try, the United States Food Admin
istration has postponed the distri-
button of it's new Home Card until
December 1. The original plan
contemplated the opening of this
Campaign October 27. However
the new conservation program
which. is considered vital, will be
pushed uninterruptedly.
Meetings of all kinds having been
banned on account of the epidemic
the aid of the churches, the schools
the neutrality-suspicious., libraries
lodges, and patriotic workers could
not be- secured for the strenuous
campaign in the planning of which
they were essential parts. 1t is
hoped that by December 1, necessity
for quarantined conditions will have
disappeared.
Preparatory to the issuance Of
20, 100000 home cards on that date
the Food Administration will have
perfected, through the cooperation
of the Federal Food Administrators
throughout the country a plan o.
distribution, which it is anticipated
will result in the placing OF home
cards bearing the latest suggestions
of the Food Administration in the
hands CT every American housewife
simultaneously.
The new Home Card will contain
no regulations regarding either
"Wheatless' or "Meatless" days
but will urge as a whole, the mos1
careful saving in all edibles, par
ticularly in the conservation Of
wheat, meat, fats and sugar. The
significant fact that it will be neces
sary for the United States to sene
sd million tons more foodstuffs tt
the Allies this year than last, will
an almost staggering total of Z u
million tons for the coming year vii
re-awaken the supervisor of the
family market basket, to the urgen
necessity of maintaining a patriotic
watchfulness over the spread of hel
individual table in order that thf
100, 100000 Allies sitting at a ''com
mon table" with America may have
the stamina with which to bring the
war to SuccnSsfu1 cOncluSiDn il

Regulations For Sending Christmas
Gifts Abroad.

Each American soldier overseas
can have but one gift parcel, and
that a small one, which is to be sent
through the Red Cross, after the
soldier sends a personal label as
credentials to the person from whom
he expects gifts.
The War Department will not
permit more than one Christmas
parcel for each man in the service
in a foreign land. This restriction
is necessary because there are ap-
proximately 100000 men abroad,
and shipping space is limited. The
men themselves will each receive a
label and send it to the person at
home from whom they expect gifts.
If you receive a label from sol
der (not expected until November
1st), it must be presented at the
nearest Red Cross branch, where the
holder will receive a cardboard car
ton, by A by inches, which, when
packed, must not weigh more than
three pounds. 1t must be returned
to the Red Cross when filed, for eX-
animation and shipment, the sender
to pay postage to Hoboken, N. j.

Is Whisky Good For '.Flu?"

DR.. A. A. Cairns, Chief Medical
Inspector of the Bureau of Health
of Philadelphia, fatty differs with
Coroner William B. Knight on the
statement that whisky is an essential
in fighting the influenza epidemic.
Giving his personal opinion OF
whisky as an influenza remedy, Dr.
Cairns said:
"There are many physicians who
do not use whisky at all in the treat
ment of influenza cases. In fact
whisky has been taken from the
American Pharmacopeia/ as medi
cine. Whisky is an oldtime remedy
that has gone out of practice. There
are still some few physicians who
use it, but 1 do not regard it neces-
sity in fighting influenza"
