tinue to operate to approximately So

equipptd to turn out sixty complete ma.
chimes day, and with extra forces en-
ployed, this could be even stretched a

itrnia Chevrolet firm to employ only
as many men as were absolutely neces-
sary, relieving a vast number for other
work. Because of the ideal conditions
prevailip. in the factory, Chevrolet Jobs
have Jeen eagerly sought for, and no
danger of dearth of expert help is in
prospect.

ta'ives throughout the West will remain

United States Rubber
Company Makes Record
For Patriotic Work

The honor of having contributed
more space and money-value to Liberty

than any other business concern goes TO
the United States Rubber Company.

munity in the country at an expense of
more than $50,000
The company IS influence for the loan
has been exerted in nationwide wav
along another line also, for instead OF
making its three million dollar subscrip-
tion to the loan in a lump sum, it has
made substantial purchases in hundreds
of cities from coast to coast.
In addition to having a general patri.
otic interest in the success of the loan.
the United States Rubber Company has
been spurred to " "fighting" inter,s IN
the success of the loan and the war b
the fact that over two thousand stars
representing a most virile group of its
OFFICERS and employes--appear in the
silk service flag which hangs as a sacred
emblem in the company's main offices
at 1870 Broadway, New York.
The appeal made by the Liberty Loan
committee for advertising space, fonnd
ready response from the company be-
cause of the recognition of the fact that
in this manner more could be done to aid
the loan in every city and town than in
any other way, except by direct partlci-
patton in the loan. Following up its ad-
vertising, the company has gone into
most OF the cities where it has adver-
used and has bought slice of the .
bonds, thus putting its precepts into
practice.
Most of the space contributed for ad-
vertising the loan was that generally

Frestone War Gardeners
Make 94c Per Hour

Re emphasizing the fact that patriot.
ism is profitable to the individual as
well as to the nation. the story of how
employees of the Firestone Tire & Rub.
Der company of Akron, Ohio, made 94c
an hour out of their war gardens furni.
shes an interesting sidelight on the I'M
portanee of this angle of the food con.
servation movement.
One of the first to respond TO the
governments appeal for war gardens.
the firestone Company placed at the
disposal of its employees tract Of land
near its factories which had previously
been plowed and put into condition for
planting.
Altogether there were 265 plots. A su,
perntendent of the gardens was employ.
ed. In order to check tile results system.
atically time clock was installed 10
record the time when each gardener
started and stopped work, then when
the gardeners gathered the vegetables
they were weighed or measured and
their value recorded. This idea made
the Firestone garden work particularly
valuable because it allowed the company
to arrive at definite figures which
should be an inspiration to all other
big companies and to individual home
owners as well.
Working an average Of only 2 hours
20 minutes each week, the o65 pat
riots raised food stuff valued at $l4,.
205.5o. For every hour spent on his or
her garden each individual received as
a return food products worth "a cents
at retail prices The following statistical
of the Firestone War Gardens
shows how records were kept and how
final figures were obtained.

Mr.. Fowler
"The women are going to administer

Beach Sentry Kills
Ocean City Prowler

OCEAN CITY, N. j., Aug. 80. A man
who was shot and killed last night in q
struggle with Joseph Meehan, beach
sentry Of the Naval Reserve force who
believed that he was dealing with a spy,
was identified to-day as Thomas Ellis,
OF Trenton, just released from a lu-
matte asylum.
Meehan and other sentries along the
beach had been on the alert for several
nights because at various times recent
ly glimpses have been caught of two
men who flashed strong electric torches
out to sea as if signalling u-boat.
Secret Service men had been sent from
Atlantic CITY and Philadelphia to sup
plement the beach patrol, aud the sea-
men scntries had resolved to forestall
the civilians.
When Meehan caught sight of a dark
figure prowling in the shadows where
entrance is prohibited after nightfall
he stalked it carefully, challenged and
placed Ellis under arrest. Then. the
sailor testified at the inquest to-day,
Ellis seized his rife and twisted it out
of his grasp. Meehan sprang upon him
and recovered the rife Ellis, he testi-
fed, started for him again, and he shot
him through the heart.
The coroner exonerated Meehan.

Dear Mr.. Cocks: In the matter of

ton of the United States District At

showing that Judge Ray states that

Mr.. Schoeneck acted only on invitation

the judge atiirms the entire propriety
of his conduct
You also tell me that Mr.. Schoencck
took the position publicly and private

most important If the acid test of
