Lancaster Market

Every indication points to one
of the finest tobacco crops ever
raised in GarIard county and
from the encouragement received
by the directors and stockholders
of the Garrard Tobacco Ware
house from the growers of this
and adjoining counties, there
seems no reason why the local
market here should not be the
banner market of the state.
Garrard county has long been
known as the best tobacco coun-
ty in the state, the weed from
this county always bringing the
top prices on every market on
which it has been sold, and with
the present fine crop raised this
year and being sold over the local
brakes, it is not unreasonable TO
;sGpposs that our market should
not top any in the state.

county lost something like $780,.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
TIRE INITIATION

1t is customary among automobilists
when they pump air into a wheel
which is lacked up, not to pump up to
the required pressure, but to allow
a few pounds for the weight which
will come on the tire when the jack is
removed.
This is bad practice, says an expert
from the United States Tire company's
laboratories. for careful experiments
show that the weight of the car on
the tire does not add even a fraction
of a pound to the air pressure inside
a tire. Consequently, the United
State Tire company advises motorists
to initiate their tires to the recon-
mended pressure, whether the wheel
is lacked up or not.
While on the subject of initiation,
motorists should again be warned thai
the notion which has gained wide be-
lief among automoblists that the heat
of a summer day. expands the air in
side tire to such an extent that the
tires do not need to be blown up to
the same point as in winter is an
utter fallacy. Experiments show that
it takes terrific driving for a consid-
cradle period in such a race as that at
the Indianapolis speedway to generate
enough heat to raise the air pressure
in a tire five or six pounds. The ex-
pansion in a car driven at an ordinary
rate on hot summer day is so slight
that no allowance should be made for
it when the tire is pumped up.
Motorists would do well in hot
weather to, test the air pressure in,
their tires every few days to see that
the leakage of air has not reduced the
pressure to the point where the tire
will suffer harm.

DEMAND FOR ARMY'S
FOOD SUPPLIES HERE
Is ANNOUNCED LIGHT

That orders had not been placed for
army food supplies to exceed 500 was
the report of postoffice officials after
closing time last night. The cost of
transportation is apparently the chief
reason for the scarcity of orders.
According to dispatch from
Washington, the cost of postage on
these orders is cut to first zone rates,
which will of course make some diff
ference in the price of the articles
laid down here. The cost of transport
tation would be almost halved
orders will be received at the local
office to closing time on August 20.

UP TO THE PRESIDENT

TNHE Presidents Interpretation of the
1 constitution, as expressed in his letter
to Senator Fall regarding the congress
sional resolution urging a severance of
diplomatic relations with Mexico, is un-
impeachable. 1t has long been recog-
nized--and the fact is supported by law
that the initiative in conducting for
eign relations is assigned in this country
to the executive.
On the other hand Mr.. Wilson's reit-
Grated assumption of authority serves to
emphasize anew his responsibility in a
problem for which no solution has been
found duriH early seven years Of his
adminiStra'
It has been hinted that defcrment of
action on the prolonged Mexican crisis
was primarily due to the great war. But
the difficulty of handling two formidable
international riddles at once no longer
exists. A strong and consistent policy
on Mexico can be undertaken if the ad-
minstration .formulates one. The public
would unitedly support it.
Secretary Lansing, it is true, displayed
frmness and skill in the jenkins tangle,
but that was merely an incident in a
long series of offenses and, moreover, it
has not yet, morally, been unraveled
temporary lct-up of tension is
insufficient.
Forceful comprehensive moves on the
subject are in order.
The President and his representa-
tive in the State Department are the
rightful agencies Of responsible action
Mr.. Wilson jcaously guards his pre-
rogative. He should not let it lapse
through disuse.
