TRANSPORTATION VITAL
TO MODERN WARFARE
Record of Motor Cars in Great Conflict Proves Them
Backbone of Military System

France, writes us under date OF June
10th an interesting bit of description
He says in part: I'VE have nothing
but praise for Crazy Kid as the car
has been nicknamed. It would be use
LESS for me to say that this car is a
wonderful piece of machinery, because
YOU already know this. But I can
tell YOU how much satisfaction it is
giving, and how we'll it stands up un-
der the very severe useage that army
cars are subjected to along the front;
operated great part Of the time on
Door French gasoline and inferior
grades of oil, driven at high speed for
many hours at time over shell-torn
roads, across open fields, through the
woods and marshes where there are
practically no roads at all. with very
little time for adjustment and tighten
ing of parts. This gives you Just a
faint idea of what motor cars in the
war are put up against. During my
few months in France I have driven
many other high class cars, both
American and foreign, but am In
hopes that I may be kept on No. 49,
OILS for some time yet to come.
Sergeant L. A. Corbett, Division
Headquarters, Camp Fremont, CAL,
writes under date of November 18th.
He says: II was made sergeant and
placed in charge of Headquarters
Garage, where all passenger trans
portation was handled. I now have
charge of one hundred and thirty-four
drivers, eighty-three motorcycles. and
fifty Dodge Brothers cars. The really
main object of this letter, though. is
to convey to you the high regard that
every driver and officer here holds
for Dodge Brothers car and It's per-
Torrance. It would be difficult to
even imagine any service more exact
ing or more strenuous than what
these cars are obliged to stand up un-
der unskilled drivers, and every con-
ceivable road condition. Half the
drivers don't care what happens to
the machine as long as 1t gets there
and back. One day the car will be
out with field officers over the very
toughest country they can find, fol-
lowing troops, charging double time
over plowed fields, across bitches,
I'M steep hills, across shallow trenches
and shell holes, into places that only
skilled drivers can get out OF. The
next day or hour this same machine
will be obliged to make fast trip
to Frisco. or San Jose, travelling fifty
miles an hour to catch some deserter
or men breaking quarantine. They
often make the thirty miles to San
Francisco in forty-five or fifty min
utes, driving with the throttle wide
open half the time.
J. r. Davis, Lieut. Colonel of the
18th Field Artillery, American Expe-
Forces, France, sends US
letter dated August 10Th. He says:
II am writing to you entirely unoffi-
cially on the subject Of your cars. I
am not in the Supply Division, and
have nothing whatever to do with the
purchase or issue Of these cars. I
used one of them, however, continu-
ously for several months, and much
Of its use has been under the most
severe conditions in the field. On
the whole, the car has stood up in a
manner that is truly remarkable. 1t
has been used on all sorts of roads,
and in all sorts of weather"

Bride of Prominent Carlisle
Business Man

The marriage Of Miss Gertrude
Mcnamara, of this city, to Mr.. Ed
ward Matthias, of Carlisle, was sol
emnized Wednesday morning at five
o'clock at st. Patrick's church by
the Rev. Father Kalb. Only the i'm
mediate families of the contracting
parties were present. Acting as maid
of honor was the brides lovely young
sister, Miss Irene Mcnamara, while
the groom was attended by his
brother, John Matthias, of Carlisle, as
best man. The bride was strikingly
handsome in a tailored suit Of dark
blue, with hat and accessories to cor
respond. Her flowers were orchids.
Miss Mcnamara lis one of the charm
ing group of daughters of Mrs. Pat
sy Mcnamara. She has for some
years been bookkeeper in the local
offices of the Cumberland Telephone
Company and is regarded as most
efficient and capable business
woman. Her sunny disposition and
her ready wit and humor have won
for her great popularity with her
friends here and it is with sincere
regret that they give her up as she
will make her home elsewhere. Mr..
Matthias is successful young bust
ness man and comes of prominent
Blue Grass family. He is well known
and liked here and has many friends
who will rejoice with him in his good
fortune. The couple left Immediately

LOCAL MARKET
OPENS dec. 3
Warehouses Are Rapidly Getting In
Readiness for 0pening--Record-
Breaking Prices are Expected

The tobacco season will open in
this city on December 3rd with the
first sale at the Farmers Warehouse.
The sale at the Whitehall and the
Robertson warehouses will be held
on the days following.
From all indications the season
here will be most successful one.
The local houses are rapidly being
prepared to receive tobacco and are
expecting a heavy run. Prices for
the weed, sold both here and in the
Carolinas, point to record breaking
prices, especially on the better
grades. The opening sales here will
likely be attended by unprecedented
crowds, who will be eager to learn
the trend of the market.
The Mt. Sterling houses offer
every facility for handling your crop
that can be had anywhere and it is
hoped and expected that our farmers
will favor the local markets. Let US
urge every tobacco grower in this
section to haul his tobacco to the
Mt. Sterling market, where he is as
sured of the highest price, and the
best of treatment.
