LADY DRUMMER

The lady drummer appears on the
scene. Armed with forceful selling
arguments, good looks and a charm
ing personality, she approaches, con-
vinces and lands" the hardened
buyer-in most instances. She has
made her debut in Philadelphia
Rochester, Cleveland and a number
of other cities as city saleswoman for
the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company.
Miss Lima l.. Lister of the Erie,
Pa, branch of the Goodrich company
never professed to be a saleswoman.
but, seeing the ranks of her COM
pany's sales force being thinned by
the draft and by enlistments, sailed
forth among the dealers. She re-
turned armed with contracts. She
went forth again and came back with
contracts.
Miss Listers exploits have aroused
competition in the Goodrich organ
ization. She now has many close
rivals. They include: Vera May,
Atlantic City; Gertrude Taylor,
Rockford, ILL.,; May l.. Shaw, Roches-
ter; the Misses Biggins, Cleveland;
Flatley, Bangor;, Kete, Dayton;
Petty, Allentown; and Bayhen, Lima.
These young ladies are among the
first saleswomen in the entire auto
mobile industry. AS the war pro-
crosses, more and more will Ameri-

EMPLOYEES MUST HAVE
ACCURATE WATCHES

Does your watch vary half min
ute in two weeks? Or is it off two
seconds in "a hours, in hot or cold
weather, or because you have held 1t
upside down or in some unusual posi-
ton? Then 1t wouldn't do for train
service men on the Southern Pacific.
Safety requirements of the company
demand that every employe, engine
man, trainman or signalman, who is
in any way connected with the actual
movement Of trains, carry timepiece
that is absolutely within these limits
of accuracy. A train travelling at the
rate of SO miles an hour covers a lit
tie over 743 feet in 10 seconds. 1t is
obvious that time is prime factor
in arranging meets and passings for
trains safely without interruption to
traffic.
Reports to w. R. Scott, vice-presl-
dent and general manager of the
Southern Pacific, show that 1880
watches were inspected on the South
ern Pacific (Pacific SYSTEM in 1917,
all of which had to be maintained at
standard. At least once every quar-
ter every employe in train service
submits his watch to one of the 81
authorized inspectors, who subjects 1t
to a critical examination as to its
mechanical condition, which must be
such as to insure close rating and
not to vary in excess of 80 seconds In
two weeks. Twice a month he must
have it compared with standard
clock by an authorized inspector, and
every Is months II must be cleaned
and oiled. As evidence that the en-
ploye's watch has passed inspection
and conforms to the company require
ments, General Time Inspector Webb
c. Ball has worked out plan where
by the employe carries card certifi-
cate on which, besides the facts con-
cerning the make, grade, number of
Jewels, etc., are entered the dates of
every comparison with standard regu-
lator. Without these credentials an
employe can not continue in service.
The care with which the watch in
spection rules are enforced is one Of
the means by which the Southern Pa
cific has been able to maintain its rec
ord for safety among the roads of the
country.

THE MONEY COMES BACK.

The cycle of money invested in
Liberty bonds is short and complete.
The people lend the money to the
government, the government lends
some to our allies, and our govern
ment and our allies straightway
spend the money, or the greater por-
tion Of it, among the people of the
United States. In some instances the
money paid in by wage earners on
one installment of Liberty bonds is
paid by the government to their en-
ployers, and by their employers paid
back to them in the way of wages be-
fore the next bond installment is due.

tent of 500 the drain on our goods
and services; that is, materials and
labor. To make the article or arti-
cles he would have bought or to
manufacture others to take their
place in the market, would require
materials and labor. In addition,
to get the article to him labor and
freight space would be required. By
doing without the article he has left
free a certain amount of material to
be used for war purposes, a certain
amount of labor to be used in the
same way, and he has also relieved
to certain extent the transportation
facilities of the country.
This may not be much in the indi-
vidual case, but when hundreds Of
thousands and millions of Americans
pursue this course it means millions
and millions of dollars loaned the
government, tremendous quantities
of materials left for uses of the ma
ton in this war, millions of hours of
labor free to do war work, and a vast
amount of freight space free for ma
tional uses.
These, sacrifices are easy to make;
are small and trivial compared to
the sacrifices that our soldiers and
sailors make daily while they offer
constantly their lives for their coun-
try, the greatest sacrifice of all.

People of Ashland who suffer with
weak kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. Doan's Kidney Pills is medi-

that is backed by willing testimony

bad attack of kidney and bladder
trouble and it came on so suddenly
that l thought ! was done for. My
back ached and the kidney secretions
caused such terrible pains / could

proved godsend. Doan's corrected

AMERICA PAYING
DEBT TO FRANCE

The descendants of the compatri-
OTIS of Washington and Paul Jones
are fighting once again side by side
with the descendants of the compa-
triots of Lafayette and Rochambeau.
The time and opportunity have come
for nation to pay great debt of
gratitude for service rendered in
great national need and America is
paying France the debt she long has
owed.
In the Revolutionary War for the
freedom of America the French
fought on American soil under the
command of an American. Today in
the war for the freedom of France
and for the preservation of liberty to
America, and indeed to all the
world, Americans fight on French
soil under the supreme command of
a Frenchman. The honors are even
and the honors are great.
No true American who knows the
history of his country and loves the
honor Of his country but thrills at
the thought of the American army in
France. The invincible Americans
will turn the tide of war; they will
bring to France and her allies a vic
tory for liberty such as France as
sisted us to win, and repay with in
terest debt to liberty and to France
long owing and honorably acknowl-
edged.

GUN DIVISION MAY
SPEND TWO BILLIONS

A summary of the work of the gun
division of the Bureau of Ordnance
shows it has been necessary to equip
16 large plants for manufacture of
mobile artillery cannon. The total
program of the gun division calls for
an expenditure of nearly s2,OOO,OOO.-
900.
The major projects have included:
Construction Of smokeless powder
plants in face of the necessity of
doubling the present output. These
are now underway.
Expenditure of approximately $40,-
100000 for plant facilities to manu-
facture artillery cannon, with an es-
innate that $500, 100000 will be
spent for cannon alone within two
years after the beginning of the war.
Preparations for the erection of
plants to extract toluol from the
illuminating gas being furnished
cities by private gas companies.
Conservation of the supply Of am
monium nitrate and acids and con-
struction at government expense of
plant for the fixation of nitrogen and
its final conversion into ammonium
nitrate.
Construction, now undertaken, of
gas filling plant to cost approximate
ly S1,500,O00 and five large shell fill
ing plants with total cost of $780,
100000.

that many lost all they had. These
facts are not only the result of per
sonal observation extending oveT
seven trips to California, but are sci
forth substantially as above in a
bulky report issued by a state com
mission appointed to investigate this
subject.
A few weeks ago / met a Polish
count with a name like a Bolsheviki
socialist, who had made a deal fof
some land in the heart of the Mojave
desert, east of Barstow, and was sell
ing it to his countrymen at $3.50 per
acre, the real value not being a hun
dredth part of that figure. Forty
acre tracts were being unloaded onto
ignorant foreigners for $4,000. The
crafty count offered to give me forty
acres if l would properly develop the
tract so it could be used for sucker
bait, or a demonstration farm" as
he called it.
The state has been forced into the
colonizing business and is now sub
dividing some 5000 acres near Chico
selling the land to settlers at actual
cost. This is the plan which has
worked so well in Australia and sew
eral other countries.
Raising oranges is rich mans
game. Good groves cost $4,000 to
5000 per acre and it takes ten acres
to make a living. We were offered
fourteen acres of good orange land
near Pomona, with water for irriga-
tion, house, etc., but it is almost
worth an orchard to raise one.
Garden land around Los Angeles
costs s4O0 to $500 per acre, and
you've got to go out fifteen to twenty
five miles to get any at the former
price. Japs and Chinks raise most of
the vegetables and live like slum
dwellers in the city.
Good land in the Sacramento, San
Joaquin and Imperial valleys costs
s75 to 500 per acre; with water,
S125 to $175; leveled and checked
for irrigating, $3.50 to 5000. Big
money is being made growing stock,
hay, grain and cotton.
During the winter season Los An
geles is crowded with tourists and
desirable apartments cost $50 to $40
a month. There is no use in going
out to the edge of the city in the
hope of finding something cheaper
We went out six miles and found that
the newness of the houses offset their
distance from the business center.
Economy of space is the watchword
Of apartment houses. The beds fold
up and the kitchenette is so small
that one can almost reach every
thing while standing in one spot.
Most apartments are supposed to be
heated, but "oil is so highs cents
a gallon-that there isn't much heat
except from eight to ten in the morn
ing and four to eight in the evening.
Stovewood costs so cents a sack.
