SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHiNG
Farmers, Urged by Feed Administra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra LOavse
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, tbreshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
16,00O,000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pouRd
Ioaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown byg
reports from 8S grain states to the ..
3. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
TO reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest possi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh4
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of.
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to. repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions Of dollars "in pocket
as a result of the grain saved.

Jan1ison

On December %, 1918, the home
of MIR. and Mrs. w, 5. Brandon
was draped in mourning, when her
mother, Mrs. Amanda Jamison,
was called from them by death.
She was IS years of age. All
that loving hands could do was
done to relieve her and restore
her to health again. She leaves an
aged husband and three daughters,
a host of grand children and
also many friends to mourn her
death.
She lived a consistent christian
life for many years. Oh, we all
know our home is not a home with
|outa mother, but girls your mother
has gone to better home to wait
for loved ones coming. The word
mother expresses the ties that
are nearest and dearest to us. And
the Lords love and goodness are
manifested when he provides us
with a christian mother. Death
has vacated a place in that home
that cannot be filed. Her smiles
are not there to greet US. She
made friends wherever she was.
Aunt Mandy" as she was IA
miliarly called, was always so kind
and gentle with everyone with
whom she came in contact. ]
wo ,lj say to the devoted hus-
band. daughters and loving grand
children you have the deepest
sympathy of host of friends in
your bereavement.

Murray II. Orr

I . u
The subject OF this sketch was
born near Huntingdon, May e
1884, and died at the home Of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. N. A. Orr,
near Westport, January 10, 1919.
Thus is marked the beginning and
ending of the life of Murray L.
Orr, but the interim between was
filed with deeds Of usefulness in
all the relations of life that COM
mend him favorably to every one
with whom he came in contact. He
fell a victim to the epidemic of in
hueza, complicated with pneu-
monia, after an illness of only a
few days, and, while be loved life.
he met the great ordeal of death
bravely and resolutely, as he had
met the duties of life, humbly
yielding to the will of Him who
doeth all things well.
Murray L. Orr was reared on a
farm in Carroll county, but when
quite a young man he identified
himself with the commercial world,
having engaged himself with the
Enochs .Edenton Company of Lex
ington, Tenn, with whom he re-
NAMED as a faithful employee many
years. For the past few years he
has been engaged as a travelling
salesman and was thus engaged
at the time of his death. He was
true to every trust reposed in
him, and his entire life is a record
of duty well and faithfully per-
formed.
The large crowd that attended
his funeral obsequies last Satur-
Gay attested the high esteem his
neighbors bad for him. 1t was
plainly observable tina teach felt
that in his death they had sustained
a personal loss, that useful and a
good man had been called from
the walks of man; for Murray L.
Orr, while he lived quiet, unas-
life, was an exemplary
young man, whose goodness did
not seek expression through pomp
and ceremony, but rather through
kindness and quiet
deeds of charity, reaching its high
est manifestation in his loyal de-
votion to those whom he loved and
who loved him. 1t was the writer's
privilege to know him from in

U.S.AUTOSOUTSTRIP
RAILROAD MILEAGE

at is almost a certainty" states 5.
n. How, general sales manager Of the
Haynes Automobile Company. Koko-
mo, Ind, that the average American
citizen, were he asked, would declare
that the seating capacity and mileage
OF the combined automobiles OF the
country are far less than that Of all
the passenger trains OF the nation.
few authentic figures, however, win
serve to prove this to be an illusion,
and to show that the nations automo-
biles. in point Of mileage and carry
ing capacity, greatly exceed the rail-
roads.
''The figures show that there are g.
100000 automobiles in use in the uni
ted States today. ThiS indicates that
an average mileage of 5000, which Is
low, the total mileage equals 1S,OO0,-
100000 miles per snnum, which, multi
piled by an average Of three passen-
gers, means that the total passenger
mileage is $4,000. .OOO, ,OOO
THE passenger mileage OF automo-
biles exceeds that Of the railroads by
over 10000, 900 900 miles. because the
latest available figures show that the
official railroad passenger mileage
was 32,3S4,247, ,563. Automobiles. on
a basis Of 300 days OF use and an av-
erage Of only two passengers, carried
$500 900, 900 persons, compared with
the railroads total Of e76,303, ,6O2.
The seating capacity of the 6,0OO.-
600 automobiles In use in the United
States Is estimated at not less than
10000. 900 people. The total seating
capacity Of railroad cars, Of which
there are 55,705, is about 1850, 900
people. To carry the people now car
rted by automobiles would require
10000 new passenger coaches and a.
072 new locomotives at q combined
cost Of $1,1s4.OO0. 900, to say nothing
Of passenger tracks, depots, and EN-
ployes at an expense impossible to
calculate.
These stupendous figures are al
most beyond human conception, but
they give some idea Of the vast rami-
fications Of the automobile industry
and the tremendous extent to which
the automobile has entered our lives"
The Washington times., 1919-08-23

The influence Of the woman Of the
family must be reckoned with in the
motor world today. She usually has
q deciding voice in the selection not
only OF the automobile itself, but as
her knowledge Of motor matters in
creases, also has a pronounced in
fluence in the selection OF the tires.
Getting home from a motor trip
without tire trouble means a good
deal OF satisfaction to the man who
drives, but means fully as much to
the lady in the back seat who, though
only q passenger and not called on
for aid when tire changes are made,
likes to anish a run without expert
encing the futile evaporation caused
by a bad tire.
There Is something in the feminine
makeup which brings feeling OF keen
humiliation 10 the lady passenger
who sits IN a car and watches other
machines roll smoothly by while her
qrtVer tolls away at a tire change.
The commiserating stares of the
autoists who go By don't add any
thing to her happiness
Accidents will happen even in the
best tire families, soI the United States
Tire Company opines popularity Of its
tires with feminine motorists. But to
the woman who drives, dependable
tires are a special. boon because the
occasions when she must change a
tire are few and far between.

For the first time in its history, the

winter, ample housing facilities for
the annual national shows. This con-
dition has been brought about by the
addition to the list OF buildings here
tCfore occupied, two OF the largest

same week. both at New York and
Chicago. Grand Central Palace will
be available for the passenger car
section Of the New York show,
Several important facts indicate
that the coming exhibitions will be
the greatest in the history OF the
industry. The holding Of the two de-

sure a greater attendance Of dealers
and prospective buyers. The manu-
facturers will have q 81 cater variety

BY reason Of the added space the
exhibits will be more comprehensive

The unprecedented demand for
cars, aside from all other considsra-
tions, indicates a record attendance.
And finally the management is already
assured Of the presence Of foreign
buyers.

FARMER IS BIGGEST

The biggest users OF motor trucks
in the world are the American farm

Manufactures come second with
1898, and retailers third with "a

These figures are taken from re-
liable statistics for the year 1917. Es-
Inmates for 1918 show a tremendous
increase in the number OF motor
trucks in use; hut the farmer still

is estimated that during 1918 ap-
proximately $50, 100000 tons OF farm
products were hauled to market in
motor trucks by the farmers and
gardeners Of the United States.

Increased costs Of other transpor.

into direct competition for this sort
