Capt. Gross is First Glass Gardener.
Capt. f. Otto Gross has demonstrat-
ed that he is about as good gardener
as he is a soldier and printer. When
he returned to Minot June l, he put In
a garden at his home ON the South
hill. He dug 13 bushels Of potatoes
in the fall from rows 100 feet long
and Mrs. Gross canned 20 quarts OF
sweet corn from the patch he planted.
His tomatoes did so well that he was
eating ripe tomatoes from his vines,
hung up in the basement, only last
week. From FIVE wild plum trees
growing in his garden he picked a half
bushel Of luscious fruit. Mr.. Gross Sc
cured the small wild plum trees from
along the river, being careful to get
as much of the roots as possible, and Sc
lecting only trees a couple of feet
high, cutting ffthe tops. He says it
is very easy to make wild plum trees
grow in a garden. Mrs. Gross canned
many quarts of gooseberries and put
up large number of glasses of cur
rant jelly, giving the neighbors the
surplus. Town folks do not as rule
pay enough attention to their gar
dens, which can be made to contribute
many dollars worth of products, helps

tains, through the desert roads and
boulder stretches of the southwest,
over the sagebrush and sand Of Texas,
and through the mud and clay Of the
Missouri Valley. A two years test,
covering 100000 miles of travel! The
car satisfied the company's engineers
that it was right. The war period
which held up production was devoted
to an exhaustive perfection of car de-
tails, refining the quality and economy
features.
Without emphasizing such features
the all-steel body with an oven-baked
enamel finish and other interesting de-
tails, it may be said that motoring in
terest centers in four new and distinc-
tive features Of Overland 4. These
features, each worth the motorists
study, are:
Springbase, Not Wheelbase.
First, of course, the three-point
cantilever spring suspension. The
springs on Overland 4 extend fifteen
inches from a point on the chassis
beyond the axles at front. and rear,
giving wide diagonal shape to the
springs. The car has thus an actual
springbase Of 100 inches, although the
car wheelbase itself is 100 inches
Each spring fexibly responds to its
task Of keeping the body and passen-
gers riding on a constantly even keel
Bobbing, sidesway, and lurching are
materially lessened The result is a
roomy, easy-riding car on a new type
of springs so designed as to Absorb
road shocks from the worst pavements
or roads. The WHY'S Ocerland engi.
neers make the unusual claim Of hav.
ing produced car that rides we'll or
any road.
/ Second Economy. The new springs
so protect the car from road shock as
to make possible much lighter weight
and hence great saving in fuel anc
tires. Furthermore, the car is so sim.
pie and accessible that costs Of up
keep and repairs muct be greatly re
duced. Yet the cars parts have a pro
tected accessibility big factor il
upkeep. The car is assembled from
five units only. The chassis is clear 0.

assembly requires only so bolts. TIL,

ers has been to maintain the highest
standard Of quality throughout the
car in both the material and manufac-
ture. This has been carried % the
design and finish, the body details and
the equipment.
The car has streamline body which
is entirely constructed Of steel With
slanting windshield. The full-crown-
ed tenders are Of heavy sheet steel.
The running boards are covered with
linoleum, aluminium bound. The body
and chassis are finished in hard baked
enamel. The fittings are polished al
minimum.
The car is equipped with an Auto
Lite two-unit starting and lighting
system, headlights with DINNER,
dash and tail lights, magnetic
speedometer, electric horn, spare tire
carrier, extra rim, complete set Of
tools, tire repair kit, jack and pump.
The tires are mounted on demountable
rims.
Because of the unprecedented de-
mands for the Overland 4, dealers for
the time being are accepting orders
for delivery to purchasers in the order
in which requests are received.

Lieutenants Peterson and Davis, of
the U. S. Air service, were forced to
come to earth in their machine, on
Mexican soil, one day the latter part
of last week, were captured by Mexi-
can bandits and held for $4,000 ran
som. The filters thought they were on
Texas soil. Arrangements were made
to pay the ransom and receive the
liberated men, but when the U. s. Of
ficers went to the designated place to
cary out the transaction, they worked
a ruse which enabled them to get the
aviators safely and to save half the
ransom money. Tuesday U. s. troops
of the 9Th cavalry went into Mexico
to attempt to take the bandits who
had captured the two lieutenants and
held them for ransom. Other out
RACES by Mexicans have been report
ed-and Uncle Sam has been getting
"riled."

Postmaster General Burleson may
be congratulating himself on the fact
that in the last year, by putting ad-
ditional burdens on postmasters over
the United States and giving them no
additional compensation, he has sue
ceeded in showing a surplus of some
seventeen million dollars-but it
might be we'll for him to know that
the country at large is not congratu-
lating him at all on his financial ac-
complishment at the expense of right.
The prime object of the postoffice de-
partment is to serve the people with
efficiency and the department was
never intended to be money-making
scheme. Take for instance, the fact
that such a postmaster as the one in
Lexington, has put on him the bur-
den Of supplying nine postmasters of
Decatur county, without any addi-
tional compensation for the work.
not to speak of the worry incident
to looking after bunch of country
postmasters. All men should be paid
for the work they do-and postmas-
tiers are no exception. Postmaster
Genera Burleson seems to be an
economist of the most undesirable
type-one who prefers economy to eff
ficiency and rightful compensation.

CONTRACT LET TO BUILD
SCHOOL BUILDIN'

Sealed bids for the construction OF
the Henderson County High School
building were opened by the Commit
tee last Saturday at one o'clock p. m,
there being but two bids, and it was
found that Mr.. Inflow, of Martin, was
the lowest at the figure Of $42, 5S0.50,
but he failed to figure out the matter
of plastering the building, represent
ing some 100000. The other bidder
was Mr.. Parrish, of Jackson, and his
figures 67,140.50, or S24 $4,000 more
than the Inflow bid. Mr. Inflow put up
certified check for $4,000 as seeur-
ity that he would make his bond. The
committee or County High School
board held another meeting last Tues
day morning at 9 o'clock.

The Progress is informed that the
Hon. Walter C. Cameron, Of South
Pittsburg, who was a member of the
House in the General Assembly of
1917 and of the Senate in 1919, is a
candidate for Railroad Commissioner
from the Middle Division of the State.
What we know of Mr.. Cameron and
what Hon. A. s. Montgomery, of our
town and county has to say in his be-
half, ought to convince anybody that
he is most excellent material fer any
position to which he may aspire--in
fact, the very fact that Mr., Cameron
asks for a position is sufficient guar
antee that he is well able to fill that
position with creit to himselff and to
the satisfaction of that part of the
people who desire to fill the State Of
fices with trustworthy and capable
men. So far as we can see now, Mr.,
Cameron is the man who ought to be
nominated and elected the Middle
Tennessee Railroad Commissioner.

MRS. MARTHA sNEED.


Mrs. Martha Sneed, widow of J. w.
Sneed, who died at Boaz, Kentucky.
six years ago, passed away on the 10
Of August, at the age of about Sc
years, of flux, in the home Of her
daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Mcneil, at
Boaz.
Deceased was the mother of four
children, two of whom survive
Mrs. Mcneil, with whom she had
lived since the death Of her husband,
and Mr.. Emmett Sneed, of Memphis.
Mrs. Sneed was a member of the
Baptist church for many years at
Boaz, and in her religion, as in all
else, she was Jealous and consistent.
She was a devoted mother and it is
our personal knowledge that her chill
dren were devoted and affectionate.
In the loss Of their mother, the
best possible friend one can have,
The Progress feels sympathy that
hardly another sorrow or misfortune
of life can arouse.

WHAT SOME PAPERS SAY
ABOUT WILSON'S MESSAGE.

The Cincinnati Enquirer in COM
menting on President Wilson's most
recent message on existing conditions
and prOfiteering especially, said that
the President put his finger on the
fundamental causes for the present
disturbed times when he asserted that
hey are due to uncertainty, ''the
fruitful mother of speculation" and
that until there is offered some guar
anee for reasonable stability, exist
ing conditions may be expected to
continue.
The, New York World called atten-
ton to- President Wilson phrase
There h now neither peace nor
war; and, added, "As we are neither
at peace mr. at war, we lack all the
elements OF stability that attach to
either state.
The Richmond Times-D Dispatch says
the chief pointsin the late message of
the president arefour, as follows:
/. A plea for the ratification of
the peace treaty.
2. Elimination II profiteering.
3. Extension OF food control to
peace times.
4. A second sober thought on the
part of labor.
The same paper ADDS that the pres
ident believes each Of these to be es-
sential to the return If domestic and
industrial tranquility.
The New York Sun calls the nee
essary slow working Of the govern
ment machinery, "paralyzing red
tape" but says there is hope in the
presidents message and adds "Let us
in truth, thank God that Mr.. Wilson
now sees the work to be done here al
home and promises in words that nc
one shall doubt are as fine as they
are strong and as courageous as they
are clear, THAT HE WILL DO IT.
The hope of the Sun is in the fact
that Mr.. Wilson recognizes the pow
err that he possesses and that he il
resolved to exercise them with force
and dispatch-especially in checking
profiteering and stopping boarding
and that he will "drive the job"

We saw somewhere the other day
a statement in print purporting to
come from Bob Gates, Washington
correspondent Of the Memphis Com
merial Appeal, to the effect that
Congressman Sims might resign his
seat in Congress before the expire
tion d his term. We are making this
notice for the purpose Of stating with
it, that the said R. M. Gates, at Wash
ington, has never yet, so far as we
can recall, sent out to any paper, a
reliable statment in which Congress-
man Sims name appeared-hence, we
class the last Gates Statement with
the several which have gone before
and found space in Tennessee papers.
When Congressman Sims chooses to
convey message to the people of the
Eighth district of Tennessee, you can
bet all you've got that he will not use
Bob Gates as his medium.

The Progress editor has had vis-
ion-and hopes to profit thereby. He
now sees that the practices of one age
are positively irreconcilable with the
practices Of the age gone by; he sees
that woman suffrage has come and
has come to stay--hence, all protests
against it avail nothing; he sees
that the ideas and ideals Of the men
and women Of to-day are different
from the ideas and ideals of the men
and women who yet live, who come
out Of another age-we might take
the beginning of the Goth century as
the dividing line. We butt our heads
against stone wall in attempting to
resurrect manners and customs which
are not favored by the younger gen.
Grafton. Nothing is personal with us
we merely discuss QUESTIONS
and in discussing those questions
from rear viewpoint, we are bound
to lose. Let the world 'wag as it
will, this old world is delightful
place to live in and we wish every
body well-while, perhaps, we have
not the policy and tact to gain the
good will Of those who take to them
selves as personal things which are
not so but general in their nature.

Sergeant York, the greatest hero Of

Memphis the first three days of the
week. The modesty of Sergeant
York seems to be proof against all
honors being showered upon him. II
will be remembered that Sergeant
York, leading seven men who sur
vived out of II, killed "a Germans,
silenced 35 machine guns and cap
turing 1872 prisoners.
