THE MUELLER CUT OUT

A rigid enforcement Of The muffler
cut-out ordinance il Memphis has
been announced BY City Judge L. r
Fitzhugh from the bench, The an
nouncement was oecasioned By the
casual remark Of John Lloyd, negro,
on trial Tor speeding, who testified
the racket from the cut-out probably
made it seem like he was speeding.
Every auto must comply with the
cuto-out ordinance, which prohibits
their use. Those who violate this
law are subject to fines Of from SIS
to $50, says the Memphis Scimitar.
There is a muffler cut-out ordinance
on the statute books Of the city Of
Covington, but it is seldom if ever
enforced. Ignoring of this ordinance
is nuisance, and parties guilty Of it
should be made to obey it.

PAY YOUR W. 5. S. PLEDGES

Attention has been called BY tile
treasury department to the fact that
numerous people are postponing the
day Of redeeming pledges made on
June % last, the national war saw
ings pledge day to purchase from
time to time during the remainder
OF the year certain definite amounts
Of war savings stamps. 1t is told us
that 100000 Tennesseans on that
day signed these pledges, and that it
Is altogether probable that when ac-
curate accounting of those pledges
has been made, our state will be
shown to have pledged the quota
asked Of US. But we are reminded
too, that pledges alone do not meet
The governments financial needs.
Those pledges must be redeemed, and
should be taken up promptly, as we
have promised to buy. 1t is the
money the government wants It will
have no use after January / for those
pledge cards, excepting as record
that the money promised has been
saved and invested as our people have
promised.
In order to emphatically bring to
the attention Of the people the fact
that large amounts Of those pledges
are due and should at once be re-
deemed, the treasury authorities have
set apart in Tennessee Wednesday,
September is next, as Pledge Re
demption Day. On that date it is
the hope of the war savings cam
paign managers that the people of
this state will fully redeem their
pledges, taking up all the stamps
called for by the cards up to and
including the month Of September.
1t is told us that there are July and
August pledges unredeemed and more
Of August September pledges are
NOT YET due, but they Will be within |
few days Of the date named, and
they should be treated as due. To
have golden harvest in Tennessee
cleaning up the record to the first
Of October is the desire of the gov
eminent.
We desire to urge the people Of
this county to remember their signed
obligations and bear in mind that
their first duty on the morning Of
September is is to visit the office or
bank where their pledge cards are
on file and there redeem every
promise now due. Our county must
have a good account to make after
this day has passed. Let US not
have single war savings Stacker in
The county after next Wednesday
night.

There are many things that women
can do on the farm. Women in the
north are stacking wheat; women in
the south are chopping cotton. AT
the same time big, able-bodied men
are hanging around hotels and driv-
ing pleasure cars. The women of
England and France are between the
pillow handles, and our women--God
bless theml-will go there, too, if
need be; but ] shall despise American
manhood if we drive our women to
these hard tasks as long as there IS

brooches who isn't in the army-Clar-

More than 200 farmers from the
Ia counties in West Tennessee who
attended the institute in Jackson
last week, each pledged both for
himself and for his neighbors big
increase in the acreage Of wheat
planted next year. The farmers at
tending the institute agreed that fall
forage crops would undoubtedly re-
suit in a great saving Of hay and
grain, and promised that every avail
able acre should be seeded to wheat,
rye or oats in order that live stock
may have pasturage through the win
ter. Now, if they live up to these
pledges and promises, there win be
a much better order Of things in this

legislation would eompsl the poor

Utilitarian Value
of Car

Automobiles today stand for transportation
where service is most required A few years ago
they were considered luxufy and nonessental. To-
day automobiles are recognized as necessity in
nearly all lines of commercial life for the rapid
transaction of business throughout our cities and
the territory surrounding them Time is worth more
money now than at any period during the history
of the world in the everyday transaction of our
business affairs. The automobile as an investment
has paid for itself over and over in the saving of
time to some of the largest users in the world.

Inadequacy Of the
Horse

While the horse is conceded by all true lovers
of animals as a noble beast and thing of beauty,
few if any, would revert to its use after having in
stalled the automobile instead for means of more
rapid and convenient transportation. The automo
bile is no longer question of sentiment, but it is
question of sound business economy. There is no
comparison whatever when the cost per mile is accu-
rately figured. This point is now being fully dem
onstrated throughout the world where rapid, eco
nomc transportation is demanded for passengers
and for freight of every description.

Railway Transporta-
ton Uncertain

This has been made possible by the uncertainty
of railway passenger transportation. The number
of regular trains is being gradually reduced. The
Government is taxing the capacity of all lines to
transport troops supplies and munitions of war.
AS the war progresses passenger transportation will
become more and more difficult and uncertain The
automobile is now relieving the situation and will
be called into more universal service to supplement
the effort of railway lines to care for passenger
traffic.
The abuse of the automobile by irresponsible
people has, like certain strong stimulantS used in all
the great laboratories brought the vehicle into bad
repute in many instances. However, there are too
many meritorious features about the automobile in
every legitimate avenue of both social and civil life
for it to be condemned for its misuse by the less in
telligent-

The Standardization of the automobile has made
the airplane possible. Automobile factories are do

mobile manufacturers will in for large share
of glory.

Automobile Here
to STAY

There is no going backward where efficiency is
demanded. The automobile is prime factor in our
social and economic life and will continue to increase
its efficiency and meet the more exacting demands
of present and future generations.

Demand Exceeds
Supply

Notwithstanding the increased cost of produc-
ton the demand for automobiles is becoming
greater than the supply Several of the largest fac
tories in the world are so far behind with their or
ders that there is little hope of catching up while
the war is on.
More than 500 automobile manufacturers have
patroticaly rendered the use of their plants to the
Government without the slightest reservation. All
are contributing something toward the everncreas-
ing supply of war material so essential to our ma
tonal existence The more war material the fac
tories are called upon to produce the greater the
production of automobiles will be curtailed.
1t is not now question of how many cars deal
er can sell, but it is question of how many cars the
dealer will be able to secure.
Dealers who were fortunate enough to foresee
this shortage and who were enabled to provide
against same are the ones who will serve the trade
with less delay and at the same time pay better dvi
dends on the amount of capital invested.
Prospective purchasers of automobiles are ad-
vised not to delay the purchase of car in the hope
of lower prices in the near future Prices are sure
to go higher as the demand for labor and war ma
teral increases Lower prices can not be reasonably
expected until after the close of the war. Even
then it will take some time for conditions to adjust
themselves

P. F. M. The post was opened six
years ago by Mgr. de Guebriant, but
since then he has been transferred
and the outlook without his paternal
care is not too bright. Father Sirgue
writes:
Humanity speaking, my companions
and myself fear much for the future
of this post, but. the works of God do
not progress according to worldly
laws; they are sustained by grace;
and, while material aid is most neces-

NATURE GIVES ITS BENEDIcTION
TO THE LAYING OF THIS
STONE.

Ghirin, Manchuria, is to be the proud
possessor of a cathedral and the
cornerstone has been laid by Bishop
Lalouyer. The scene was most i'm
pressive and FIR. E. Gerard, P. F. NJ,
says that it was a touching sight to
see the aged Vicar Apostolic, bent
with the weight of forty-five years in
the mission field, lay the first stone of
that future sanctuary which will mean
so much to the Church in Manchuria.
The hymns of Benediction echoed
through the soft evening air. whilst
above the birds carolled in the over
hanging trees as if to join their hum
bic praises with those of the Fathers,
and on the river floated few poor
fishing-boats, that, as FIR. Gerard so
well says, reminded one involuntarily
of the fishermen on the Lake Of
Tiberias of DID, But already the Fa-
theirs are wondering when the new
church-to-be will be consecrated.
