weeks of suffering, borne so patient
ly, the Savior called him home
Jesse was the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Eugene hurry. He WIS the light
and joy OF the home. the comfort
and constant companion of his
brother. About six months ago
he and his brother, John joined the
army and we're taken to Fort
Riley, Okla. 1t was there ne
was taken i'll with pneumonia
which resulted in his death.
Oh how sad we feel to think
when we last saw him he was in
the bloom of life and now to look
upon his iifeless form. Yes his
mortal life is finished, his earthly
tolls are over. No longer does he
battle against care and worry, sor-
row and disease. but is enjoying
never ending pleasure in the Home
of the Soul. His voice is hushed
his presence unseen, but the infiu-
ence of his life and character will
continue on as the yaars come and
60. May God sanctify the remem-
berance of his manly life to those
who know and love him best.
Dear heart broken father and
mother. brothers and sisters look up
ward and say. Thank God, for such
boy, one fit to adorn thy courts.
His funeral was conducted at
Huntington Church and the body
was laid to rest in Aerial cemetery.
Dear friend. farewell
Brighter fairer far than living.
With no trace of woe or pain,
ROBBED in everlasting beauty
We shall see thee once again.
By the light that never fadetn,
Underneath eternal skies,
When the dawn of resurrection
Breaks DER deathless paradise.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1918 as a basis of comparison.
There was a shortage OF $4,000, 600
bushels, or 6S.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed q
deflcit of 07.9 per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed a short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means do
feat In the war.

Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of

PEERLESS WINS IN

were in action. One OF the most re-
cent Of these comes from Private A

with the British army.
According to Private Batten. he
has been driving a Peerless truck
from Eajaida. near MombaSa, to q
hospital station many miles inland.
The route which was followed took
them through some Of the toughest
Jungle country Of Africa At one
place in the first part OF the journey
they encountered q stretch which

MOTOR
TRUCKS WON WAR

Send It by motor- How often
that word was flashed along the line
when men or materials were needed
In a hurry. says Charles Lathrop
Pack. president of the National War
Garden Commission. in a contribution
to The Times. Our strength was as
the strength OF two because OF the
motor truck The epic OF the motor
may never be sung by a Homer or a
Milton; but highest praise for its
efficiency has been given in official
reports. while commanding generals
and others, who saw the long lines in
operation at camp, landing port and
ur to the battle line. have told some
thing OF the wonderful performances
Of the motor-driven machines, AS
eminent a parsonage as Earl Curzon,
member of the British war cabinet. is
quoted as saying that the allied cause
was "hoated to victory on q wave OF
OIL"
Transportation was the need Of the
hour; and helped to save the day at
Verdun, at Chateau Thierry and on
other historic occasions. The delivery
OF food was one OF the most import
ant services OF the motor truck. In
the war for food which succeeds the
war of steel the question of distribu-
tion Is OF vital concern to the nations
OF the world. The motor truck is
helping to solve the problems by
bringing the producer and the con-
sumer closer together and many COM
munities are profiting therefroun.
Increased production must go hand
in hand with efficient distribution OF
foodstuffs. Every pound of vege-
tables grown If. o. b. the kitchen

ton released and that much food add

DRIVES CHALMERS
.18M|LESON GALLON

Expert testimony is always given
great weight in a court OF law. and
therefore the findings of an admit
ted expert in driving should be real
evidence IN motor tests OF any kind.
So. when it was recently decided to
try out a Chalmers for economy, the
driver chosen was Ray Mcnamara.
famous road engineer man who
has probably driven a motor car far
ther than any man who ever lived.
His records show that he has driven
far more than 500. 900 miles, and, by
the way, he has never had an acci-
dent, nor broken a traffic regula-
tion.
Using a Chalmers car with no spe-
cial adjustment, Mcnamara submit
ted 1t to a test OF 1JI miles, every
mile of which was through congeste1
city traffic in Detroit. No special
effort was made toward economy.
everyday conditions were maintained
in every way and with three passen-
gers. The result-fourteen miles a
gallon-was strikingly good.
Even so. Mcnamara was not salts
fled, and he determined to make some
single-gallon tests-also in the city
streets. He maintained a steady
mile-an-hour speed and the average
was between 1871 and 1876 miles to the
gallon.
These tests were made by driving
as the average Chalmers owners
would. No trick-driving was resOrted
to.

in reaching an agreement regarding
the powers OF the league, he con-
tended We already have at this mo-
ment a league of nations that "have
been engaged in Compelling Germany
to make peace and in restoring peace
to the world.
"It has taken four years of the
bloodiest war ever known forget that
peace" he added. by this existing
league the peace once signed must be
carried out and made effective. There
fore 1t is well to reflect that enter
ing upon a new and larger league OF
nations involves somewhat heavier
responsibilities and dangers which
must be carefully examined and de-
liberate!yi considered before they are
incurred.
"The attempt to form a league of
nations-and 1 mean an effective
league, with power to enforce its de-
crees-no other is worth discussing
can tend at this moment only to en-
barrass the peace that we ought to
make at once with Germany.
ITO enter upon these disputed fields
which are not necessary in the max
ing OF peace with Germany seems to
to trouble and to failure with the
German peace and its associated
questions, than to anything else"
"seeret Diplomacy
