ROBY LOVELACE HEARD FROM
Anglers, France, Nov. a, 1918.

Anglers, France, NOV. "A, 1918.
Dear Father:
l don't want to surprise you too much
by writing letter but as an A. L. f.
order has made it possible to write a
real letter for the first time, l am 60
ing to take advantage of it.
Now that the war Is over the thing
that we chiefly talk about and wonder
about is when we will be returned to
the States and be mustered from the
service, of course being mustered from
the service is chiefly what we are in
terested in and l suppose that must be
done in the. States. A number of Class
c and ID men are being returned daily.
At present we are not included in
the army of occupation. OF course no
one can tell whether we will be or not,
however, the general opinion is that
we will not be.
The 41st division, of which we are a
part, has been used principally as a
replacement division throughout the
war, and it is net likely that it will be
converted into a field division at this
time.
The md Engineers with which | saw

On June 9th the Americans engaged

started them back toward the Rhine.

HAVE NEW FUEL.
Army Men Discover Values in kero-
sene: Tested BY Government.


Washington.-Wh may be the so
luton of the problem Of finding a
cheaper and more efficient substitute
for gasoline has just been announced
here by two army engineer officers win
the permission of the war department.
They are Maj. Oliver b. thinner
man and Capt. f.. G. Weisgerber of the
gas and oil division and both men of
national reputation in this line. Major
Zimmerman before entering the army
at the outbreak of the war was con-
sulting engineer of the International
Harvester company. Captain Weisger-
Der was consulting gas, oil and chem
ical engineer in pittsburg, who for sew
en- years has been working on this
problem.
Exhaustive Government Tests.
BY way of proof he offers = series of
exhaustive tests conducted under prac-
teal conditions with airplanes, motor
cycles, automobiles, tricks, etc, all UNI
der government supervision.
Major Zimmerman and Captain
Wcisgerber made the following state
ments, which they say they stand
ready to demonstrate, regarding the
new fuel, called Liberty fuel" because
| it has been developed in connection
with the Liberty motor.

1t can he produced in quantity for
less than one-half the cost of gasoline.

greater speed and has less heating eff
feet on the lubricating oil than gaso'
line.
1t has II per cent higher fuel eco
nomy than export gasoline.
1t starts easier than gasoline.
Less Oil Needed With 1t.
The bureau of standards reports that
it has 3 per cent greater horsepower

tasteless and gives practically no seem

bustion are much coolerAthan gasoline
! so that the amount of oil used for Tub
ritation is reduced as well as the
amount Of water used in the radiator
for cooling.
Figures on tests conducted include
for example, 305 mile ride on mo
torcycle with side car, first with gaso
line and next with Liberty fuel. Witt
gasoline the motorcycle made 80 il
miles a gallon and went 1854 miles OF
a quart of oil. With Liberty fuel tn,
same motorcycle went 55 miles "a gal
Ion and 1907 mile quart Of oil.
With three-ton truck over run o
2S6 miles the tests showed with case
line q 1-3 miles a gallon, 63.5 miles

fuel the record was 10.4 miles gal

INCOME TAX DIFFICULTIES.
New Book Published by Extension De.
partment Has Friils Removed.

Many a farmer has had difficulties
with his income tax return. Many
others have frequently found it desir-
able to know the actual results of the
years business. Many have felt the
need for system of accounts that
would give results with the minimum
amount of labor In other words the
demand has been for book with the
frills removed. A book of that sort has
just been published by the Extension
Division Of the University of Idaho, at
Boise. Copies may be secured from the
county agents who will also assist such
farmers as desire help Persons resid-
ing in counties having no county agri-
cultural agent can write directly to
Boise for their books. The books were
published ut cost of % cents each and
are furnished at that price.

help the planters" President Wilson
set the example by buying one bale.
These directors decided that instead OF
buying one bale they would buy all of
the cotton they could secure within reas-
enable transportation distance of Colum-
bus, Ga.
They bought many thousand bales,
paying at the rate of Z cents q pound.
They were regarded as dangerously
reckless because of the belief that cot
ton would drop to cents pound
They put UP number of large storage
warehouses of modern fire-proof con-
struction and these were filled speed
lily because many persons believed that
the price of cotton would drop lower
than cents pound. This enormous
purchase, however, was the first turn
of the tide from ebb to food so far as
the cotton market was concerned MOI
since that time has cotton been lower
than cents a pound and it has been
quoted as high as 80 cents a pound.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Some Mystery!

To the Editor of the Age-Herald
There are lots of us country yaps here
In town who don't understand this food
administration business as clearly as we
would if we understood more about IT,
There are some things, of course. we
incidentally learn when we go to buy a
little something for the stonach's sake.
We learn that the prices on everything
eatable are up" and we are told they
would be upper If the food administration
didn't interfere. Mr.. Paul Earle, the hon
orable chairman of our local food board,
gives us, through the daily press, two
items OF very great Importance.
He tells us what the wholesale prices
are and what the retail prices should
be- So we gather great deal of yalu-
able information from this little two
column price list" For instance, when
we go to market now, we don't have to
waste our breath asking the prices" of
goods. But we may have our list" with
US and be able to point out the high
water mark" on anything we are able
to buy.
And then we can tell the merchant
what he paid for his goods, and just how
much profit he makes. So you see. we
have the little retailer hemmed in a cor
ner where he can neither buy nor sell at
FCdSOHdplt pTlCcS. tRulle d plGQlCdHltIlt,
isn't IT'D So far as he is concerned the
whole thing is already fixed
We think we understand the food adj
ministration business up to this point; at
loast. We are willing to pass on 1t. But
the mystery that we do not understand
lies in the fact that we are furnished
with no list or figures, either in whole
or in part, as to the profits the whole
saler makes when he lists his goods to
the retailer. Mr.. Earle, the chairman OF
the food board, is wholesale dealer,
and certainly is in position to give us this
Information. And it appears that he
should be willing for the public to know
that the wholesaler is not extortionate
when he sells to the retailer at certain
fixed prices. Why should the public be
permitted to know all about the retailers
profits and absolutely nothing of the
| wholesalers profits? The wholesaler is
not producer, but he buys and sells for
profit like the retailer.
And the public is as much entitled to
know what profit he makes as it is to
know the profits of the retailer. If the
| wholesalers profits are only reasonable
and legitimate, Mr.. Earle should be de-
| lighted for the public to know It, But
| IL their profits are unreasonable and ex-
tortionate during these tragic war times
then perhaps the public would be better
| satisfied not to know it, and Mr.. Earle
may be taking the wise course in with
holding such unpleasing information.
/ Now am making accusations
against Mr. Earle or any other whole
sale dealer. But I do claim a right to
question these matters as I am "con-
sumer,' being permitted to eat three bis
| cults a week. and sop a little gravy once
in awhile. ROB ADAMS.

For the past Is or 20 years it has been
the custom to alternate the state SEN

the Thirty-first district, and in follow
ing out that plan l announced my can
didacy with the distinct understanding
that there would be no opposition from
the other counties. 1t would be very
unfair for Russellville, which now has

of any such practice as suggested by

Corbett's Daily Letter
On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES j. CoRBETT

j. CONFETTI
found myself face to face with the man
who then was looked upon as the Won
der of wonders.
The idea when we began boxing was
that the round was to last only three
minutes There was no fixed number Of
rounds for us to box. We had no time
keeper and outside of Cleary and one
or two other fellows who worked at
the pulley weights there was no one
in the gymnasium. So, we went at 1t.
As 1 have said, 1 was just kid in
those days, tall and skinny, but l was
extremely fast and perhaps was the
speediest youngster Dempsey had faced
UP to that time. The mighty Jack didn't
exert himself during the first minute
or two of sparring but right about then
seemed to awaken to the fact that he
had a fairly sizeable job on his hands
to keep up with my speed. So Jack
started to cut loose and as he came
rushing at me / forgot my awe of him
we stood toe-to-toe for While and
slugged. The minutes went by and
everyone was filled with furious action.
Soon the word was passed to the club
members who were down in the billiard
and reading rooms that battle worth
watching was going on in the gym
nasium. The club members rushed up
lpell-mell. and soon the gymnasium was
filled with wildly excited spectators
