DON'T HOLD WHEAT

So great has become the Euro
pean demand for flour that the
food administration is urging
farmers not to hold wheat for
seeding their next crop except in
a few states where the period of
harvesting winter wheat over
laps the period of planting.
While it has been the practice in
many communities for farmers
to hold over wheat for seed, the
food administration regards it
as unnecessary. 1t is almost be-
yond belief that in any part of
the country the yield from the
next harvest will be insufficient
to meet all seed requirements
for the succeeding crop. 1t has
never failed in the past; there is
no reason to believe it will now.

Colored Peoples
Survey Begins Soon

Plans for the launching early this
month of the survey of the colored
population of Pennsylvania with es-
pecial reference to its availability
for war service and the effects of
the influx of colored laborers from
Virginia, the Carolinas and the low
er tier of states have been worked
out. The State Industrial Board
will have charge of the work, var
ious departments of the state govern
ment cooperating in furnishing of
information within their special
lines. The Philadelphia headquarters
of the board will be the center for
the work in that section, while an
office will be opened in Pittsburgh
for the western end. Several prom
inent colored men will give their
assistance, taking charge of certain
details such as occupations, housing,
social conditions and the like, while
employment experts will note the
new comers.
Philadelphia has been one of the
big centers of the colored race in
the country and a study made half
dozen years ago by the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs showed
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Reading,
Chester and Allentown to have the
other centers for the state. Since
that time development of industries,
especially in steel manufacturing
towns like Steelton, Bethlehem and
Allegheny county boroughs; and
opening of other lines to colored
labor have caused big changes and
there has been quite a considerable
movement among colored men to-
ward small towns and farms in
some sections. The colored labor
camp has also created a problem.
The study will take the greater part
of the year.

expression of the feeling of France

From Toledo to Cleveland, roads

Belleview and Norwalk, Ohio. drifts
of snow were very high. Cleveland,
1875 miles from Toledo, was reached
in nine hours, despite the snow and
ice. Fast time was made to Youngs-

careful driving imperative. The
steep hills into Pittsburgh were
made easily, the time for the 153-
mile run being IL hours and minu-

LIFE INSURANCE
FOR BATTERY
Manager of Willard Service
Station Tells How to Pro-
long Life of Battery

Howard S. Beck. who is now in
charge of the Front-Market Motor
Supply Company, Willard Service
Station, was formerly general super
intendent and service manager at the
New York branch of the Willard
Storage Battery Company.
In speaking of battery troubles
and the cause Mr.. Beck said Sew
enty-five per cent. of all storage bat
terry troubles are due to the want of
the fact that the Willard Storage
Battery Company spends annually
$250,000 to enlighten the owner how
TO care for them" Continuing, Mr..
Beck said:
Unless you give your battery the
care 1T deserves you can't expect 1t
to keep on giving you the service
YOU demand. You can get every mile
of service there is in that battery if
you just follow carefully a few sim
pie directions. You can't neglect it.
You must give it a drink about once
every ten days in the summer. And
don't forget it, it drinks a special
brand of water-distilled only. 1t
must be kept fully charged or other
wise it will deteriorate through alb
normal sulphation. If you use your
car a great deal at night with lights
on, a corresponding amount of day
driving should be done to restore
your battery. If not it will become
weaker from day to day and in a
short time it will be necessary to
have it reformed at a storage battery
service station.
"A battery may seem to be doing
its job nearly as well as usual. 1t
may turn the engine over strongly
enough to get by'-may supply
enough current for light-may pro-
duce a fairly hot spark and may
go on doing so right up to the point
where the spark of life goes out. But
if you don't know that your battery
is in good health you're taking
chances. Guesses at battery condi-
tionS opens the switch to battery trou-
BILE. You're running without signals
unless you know what's doing in
side your battery. Battery repairs
may be a necessity, but they're not
an excuse for letting your car lie
idle. To-day rental batteries may be
had which allows ear to continue in
service. Just a little precaution may
save you from the inconvenience of
motor that refuses to turn over
from lights that are dim when they
should be brilliant. or from actua!
damage to your battery. But you
must have a good battery if you eX-
pect good results and it must be pro-
Vided with care and attention or
long life is impossible.
I'm other words, If a good bat
terry is subject to occasional inspec-
ton that is in charge of expert
battery men, and care and attention
is given to battery by owner of car,
it is like a free life insurance policy
to your car"

p. AND R. TRAIN
TIME CHANGED
Leaving Gettysburg For 26
Years at A O'clock, Now
Goes Half Hour Earlier

Gettysburg, Pa, March 2.-After
leaving Gettysburg at the same hour
for period of twenty-siX years, the
afternoon train on the Reading rail-
road now leaves a half-hour earlier,
according to the schedule which went
into effect yesterday. Since June.
1891, this train has pulled out of the
station here at 4 o'clock, but until
further notice will depart at $50.
The reason for the change is said to
be that due to the increased express
business the train has lost time be-
tween this place and Harrisburg and
consequently made poor connections
with the express train at the latter
place bound for Philadelphia, almost
daily making that train wait beyond
it's scheduled time for the arrival of
the train from here.

Maxwell Company Has

Announcement has been made by

shows an addition of $50 to the pres
ent price of all passenger cars. and
one of 500 to that of the Max
well truck.
This action, Maxwell officials state,
has been made necessary by the in
creased cost of doing business and
curtailed production-due to short
