an Interesting Story Ready
10 Meet the Reconstruction
DAYS,

From automobiles to gun carriages
and back to automobiles again is
characteristic Of the years work of
the WHY'S Overland company in 1918.
When millions of men were put into
the field. Uncle Sam became the
geratest individual buyer in the world.
Naturally he turned to the automo-
bile industry for large amount of
necessary materials. The WHY'S
Overland company and allied plants
being one of the largest manufactur-
ing concerns in the country, quickly
responded by making the necessary
changes to get into this mammoth
production program. At the signing
of the armistiCe they were engaged in
rapidly completing contracts amount
ing to $4,000, 900, requiring almost
100 per cent Of their production, and
within Il month from that period We're
again turning out motor cars in fair
quantities.
The contracts for the United States
and allied governments included Cur
tiss training plane motors. French rs
millimeter gun carriages, machining
S-inch shells, Liberty s and 12-cylin-
der motors, Mark III adapters and
lifting plugs for shells. Sunbeam air
government.
Their first contract for training
plane motors was received September
10, 1917, and owing to advance prep
arations they were able to get in pro-
duction very quickly. so that in spite
of changes necessitated by the gov
ernment's requirements. they were
able by March to deliver S35 motors,
and from that time on deliveries were
made in amounts only limited by the
governments instructions.

they were well into production on an
immense amount of contracts, and
this in spite of the fact that $500
men, comprising about 33 1-3 per cent
of their skilled mechanics had been
called into the army. The only way
this could he overcome was by the
great number of patriotic women,
many of whom had members of their
families at the front, who offered

ADAM d SKULL.

Adam D. Shull. aged 70 years, one
of the best known residents OF New
Brookland and throughout this Sec,
ton, died suddenly at his home Mon
day night about o'clock. He was
taken sick Sunday but his condition
was not regarded as serious until his
death came unexpectedly.
Capt. Shull was a native of Lexing-
ton county and had lived in Brook
land practically all of his life. He
served in the war between the Sec
tons and was prominently identified
with the South Carolina National
Guard. When these troops were call
ed into active service during the Mex
lean trouble and later to the world
war Capt. Shull regretted that his age
prevented his active participation
with the men. He was at one time cap
tain Of the New Brookland company
and later served as a staff officer.
Capt Shull was engaged until a few
years ago in the mercantile business.
He. was also a farmer, haying a large
amount of property and held other
valuable real estate property. He
had acquired quite a large income. AS
a citizen he was held in the highest
esteem. He had hosts of friends who
were shocked by the news of his death
He is survived by his widow, who

LABOR SHORT HERE
BUT OTHER STATES
REPORT A SURPLUS

That common labor is short in CO.

while there is. a surplus in other states

rnent today wired the Chicago employ
ment Office that he could use as many
as 5000 negro workmen, if they want
toreally work. The local employ
nent Office has no funds for getting
the laoorers to the state but it is
probable that some of the workers
may be sent here to meet the demand
in this state. In many Of the South
ern states there is a shortage Of COM
mon laborers. while in many Western
and, Northern states there is surplus.

The employment service has infor-
nation today showing that there is
a great surplus of cmmmon labor in
Illinois; in California there is a sur
plus of approximately 1900; Iowa has
1,200 more common laborers than
that State needs, according to the fig
ures the federal employment service
in that stat; there is surplus Of 500
Missouri and Ohio has 5000 more
than are needed.
Superintendent Davis report to
Washington shows a shortage of ap-

North Carolina is short several hun

There is a special demand for farm
labor in this and other Southern
states. The employment service can
place a large numbr of farm laborers
if they can get them. While there is
a greater supply of clerical and inside
workers than there is demand, it is
stated that demand for experts can
not be filled. AS far as the figures go

METHODIST CHURCH LAUNCHES
GREAT AGRICULTURAL PROF.
ECT IN CHILE.

All records for foreign missionary
enterprise by American denominations
have been broken by the establish
ment at Angel, in southern Chile bv
the Methodist Episcopal Church, of
great agricultural and industrial prof.
ect which promises in a few years to
revolutionize the agricultural methods
of that South American nation. This
aggressive denomination, which Is
making drive this week for s140-
100000 for world reconstruction. has
just purchased. at an initial cost of
S275,000, ranch of almost 1000 acres
that stretches for miles along both
sides of the Malleco River and is sit
uated in one of the most productive
agricultural districts in the western
hemisphere.
On this large property the Board of
Foreign Missions of the Methodist
Episcopal Church proposes to train
thousands of Chilean poems in modern
agricultural methods and thus eouin
them to work out their own economic
and spiritual betterment upon their
return to their homes. The undertake
ing, is short, is an experiment in
applied Christianity on a scale far
larger that that ever essayed before
in any country by a foreign mission
board.

WILLIAM BUTLER.
Founder of Methodist Missions in
India and Mexico.

The memorial will consist Of the
purchase of a site in the capital city
of India sufficiently large to provide
for the erection of an adequate church,
a mission hall, separate boarding
schools for boys and girls, hospitals,
Fairgrounds and other equipment, to-
gether with residences for the Dis
trict Superintendent, circuit mission
aries and the principals of the schools.
The proposed site which has been
recommended by DR.. Rockwell Clancy,
district superintendent of the Delhi
District and treasurer of the Execu
tive Board of South Asia, is situated
on Mutiny Ridge overlooking the River
Juana, where DR.. Butler saw the
mutineers driven out 81 years ago. 1t
consists of II "a acres, fronting the
river on one side and a beautiful pub
lie garden on the other.
DR.. Butler who was for many years
resident of Newton Centre (Mass.)
was also the founder of Methodist
Missions in Mexico, where he went
in 1887. His work there has since
been carried on by his son, Rev.
John Wesley Butler, who died in Mex
leo City recently.
1t is fitting that the memorial to
man who gave his life for the serv-
ice of mankind should be a service
institution. The educational, medical
and moral forces of Christian India
will center around this new base of
operations that is to be established in
in Delhi. government is possible
in India only as the people become
educated, for $50 of her people at the
present day can neither read nor
write. To give her complete self
government at this time would be to
repeat the Russian revolution. But the
war has awakened her slumbering
ambitions, and she is cropping out of
the darkness of ignorance. Thousands
of people, whole villages at a time,
are flocking to the Christian affairs
and demanding baptism. Adequate
instruction and education must be
given these upward moving masses if
India is to be saved for Christianity
and democracy.

there is to be no U. c. T. Minstrel

Note the Difference in the Root Growth or luus Forming Material

"The way to grow big crops, is to
grow big crops" said a prominent agri-
culturist recently.
What did he mean?
He was simply expressing in q
rather unusual way, the well known
principle that a big crop leaves more
humus-more plant residue-in the
soil, than does a small crop, and there
fore leaves the soil in better condition
to produce the succeeding crop. This
fact is particularly noticeable in the
case of the grass crop. A small grass
plant, of course, has small roots; but

tons of manure had been added.
The same effect is produced with
corn, wheat, oats and other staple
farm crops. In fact, in many sections
it has been found desirable to de-

dues to furnish the needed soil humus-
