who attend the local curbstone
market, which is one of the largest

a government tax of ten per cent.

internal revenue tax, and severe
penalty attaches to failure to pay
up, according to deputy revenue col
lector w. Fred Jacobs. No matter
in what stage of alcoholic content
the stone" fence might be, this
tax must be paid, II any is sold.
Cider for home use is not taxable,

PHYSICAL and Mental Condition Of Our
A. Soldiers Was the Deciding Factor
By LIEUT.. COL. T. L. HUSTON

War as a general proposition is all that General Sherman said it was,
but like everything else in this world it has a better side. And the brighter
side in the recent worldwide conflict was the general boom in all forms of
athletics for which it was responsible and which in the years to come, par
tcularly in America and the nations allied with her, will insure a man.
hood more fit physically and mentally to carry on with the worlds work
than ever before.
There is no question that the physical and mental condition of the
American troops was the deciding factor in the wal and that our boys
we're able to throw into the balance the fighting power which broke the
deadlock, sent the Huns reeling back and ultimately brought about their
complete defeat. And the reason that the Americans, many Of them but
hastily trained troops, were able to make such a splendid showing was
because of their athletic bringing up-their physical fitness, their ability
to think quickly and to act Individually in emergencies. And these quail
ties they acquired on the ball lots, the gridiron and other fields where
brain, muscle and Drawn were put to the test.
In a way, before we went cover there we realized what American
sports, particularly baseball, had done for the youth of the United States
Today W appreciate fully that it supplied most of our fighters with the
physical asset which enabled them to do those things which caused the
German military machine to gasp in amazement from the outset. The
American army heads and the directors of Y. M. c. A. and other agencies
which operated for the welfare of the men in the camps here and abroad
thoroughly appreciated the value of outdoor games, boxing and general
athletic stunts, and from the moment the men began their military train
ing athletics was made a part of the regular routine.

WAR IN EUROPE
BIG MOTOR AID
Struggle Across Water Gave Au-
tomobiIe Industry Big Boost
Right Here at Home.
CARS GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
During Great Battles People on This
Side Found Out Many Benefits Of
Motorized Transportation in
Various Ways.

Wonderful as was the work of the
mOtOrcar in Europe during the last
few years of struggle there, and de-
spite the vast angles of future devel-
opment which were opened by the au-
tomObile's accomplishments in the bat
tie zone. the biggest thing that the war
did for the motOrcar industry was done
here at home.
This is the opinion of c. A. Pfeffer,
general manager of a large motorcar
corporation, and what this big thing
is expresses concretely Mr.. Pfeffer's
idea of the future of the industry. Al
though he believes that the true sig
%nifcance of the stay-at-home work of
the automobile will come only in the
light of more mature retrospection, he
believes that some of its most prOmi-
nent features r apparent even to-
day.
Pave Way for Prosperity.
"What mOtorcars did right at home
to win the war did more, in my Opin-
ion, to pave the way for a more pros
porous future for the automobile in
dustry than any other n thing" said
Mr.. Pfeffer. 81 realize fully that right
now we associate the war and the au-
tomObile with the splendid service and
incalculable benefit which motorized
transportation was to the armies in
the field, just as we associate the SOL
diers part in the struggle with the I'M
questioned heroism of the men in the
front line trenches.
"But, in the same way as we neglect
the greater majority of the fighters
who battled at home. we neglect the
much greater army of motorcars which
went into the struggle on every road
In the United States. But. because
we were so close to the stay-athOmes,
1t is hard to get the proper perspec-
tive on them.
Touches Vital Spot.
81 think l set my finger on the vital
spot when l recall the fact that dur
Ing the war more people found out
the benefits Of motorized t%ransporta-
ton from both the business and rec
reational side than ever had known 1t
before.
1.-The business men who were forced
to speed up their daily life and found
that speed could be obtained by the
use of an automobile: these same
men who discovered the vocational
benefits of the automobile, which
could be utilized without loss Of bust
ness, time or efficiency; those who
tried the motorcar In their business
and daily life as an experiment and
found the results were far better than
they had expected-all these were
awakened by the work of the automo-
bile at home"

painted on the wall or rack in the
place where the tool belongs. In this
way 1t is a simple matter to return
each tool to its proper place so that
it is ready when It is next needed.
