Seventy Years Old, Drives
$4,000 Miles.

On her return trip, Mrs. William
Upton, the seventy-year-old woman,
who alone drove a Ford runabout
from San Francisco to New Yory,
visited the Ford Motor Company's
main office. She was introduced to
the officials of the company, was pho
itographed, held in her hand Ford
check worth two figures of millions,
|recounted the experiences she had
encountered on her trip, and before
leaving made arrangements for Sc
curing new Ford car Immediately
upon her return to her home in Ba-
kersfield, California.
Mrs. Upton has already driven her
present Ford more than $4,000 miles,
1000 of which were driven since she
left San Francisco, May 18th, the
longest days drive being 16O miles.
At Springfield, Illinois, Mrs. Upton's
birthplace, she plans to dispose of
the car and after visiting her many
friends there, will return home via
rail.
When commenting on her trip, she
said that in making the drive from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, it had not
been her purpose to follow direct
line of travel, but to visit the cities
and places of most interest. She Wis
lied the Petrifed Forest, spent sew
eral days in the National Capitol,
drove to Mount Vernon, visited the
site of the Battle of Gettysburg, and
then after touring to some of the At
lantic Coast Cities, made her way to
New York.
She experienced practically no
trouble with her car, although she
pointed out the fact that she under
stands the Ford motor and made her
own adjustments. Before leaving the
Ford Company, Mrs. Upton express
ed the hope that her next Ford, prob
ably another runabout, will be equip
ped with Ford starter.

Only a Cold.

Are you ill? is often answered.
ooh! it's only cold" as if cold
was matter of little consequence,
but people are beginning to learn
that common cold is a matter not
to be triaed with, that some of the
most serious diseases start with
cold. AS soon as the first indication
of cold appears take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Remember that the
sooner you get rid Of your cold the
less the danger, and this remedy will
help you to throw it off.

Wednesday, November S.
Not Easily Satisfied.

When the poet said, "Man wants
but little here below, etc." he did not
refer to the average wage Garner of
today. Many of them seem to want
the whole world. 1t is notable fact
that, with but few exceptions, strik-
ers are among the best paid people.
The steel workers who are on strike
were paid from S12 to S21 per day
and brick-layers are striking in some
cities because they are paid only So
per day instead of $40. it is the aver
age salaried man upon whom the in
creased cost of living falls heaviest.
Teachers and ministers have doubt
less suffered more than others. Ger
tainly the wage Garner along practi-
cally every line is having his day.

Death of Mr.. w. r. Parks.

Parksville, Oct. 3O.-W. r. Parks,
a prominent citizen of Parksville,
died yesterday morning at 1870
o'clock at his home here, following
an illness of ten days. At his bedside
at the time of his death were his wife
and nine children.
In 1871 Mr.. Parks was married to
Miss Frances Stone of Parksville. To
this union were born II children.
Two died and the following survive
him: R. j. Parks of Augusta, Ca, w.
p. Parks of Parksville, W. H. Parks
of Plum Branch, j. G. Parks of Chat
tanooga, Tenn, C. A. Parks of Mt.
Carmel, B. F. Parks of Parksville,
Mrs. Malona Boyd of Charlotte, N.
c., Mrs. M. P. Langford of Parks
vile and Mrs. Leila Price of Umatilla
Fla.
Mr.. Parks was successful busi-
ness man. He started life here with
nothing, but by his great energy and
business ability he reared and edu-
Gated large family, and left to them
a considerable estate. He was a splen
did citizen and will be greatly missed
in many ways.
He was a member of the South
Carolina legislature in 1891 and was
always loyal to all the farmers or
ganizations. He was a consistent
member of the Parksville Baptist
church and it has sustained a great
loss in his death. He was one of the
oldest Masons and Woodmen of the
orders in this place. The entire COM
munity felt very keenly Mr.. Parks
death, but most of all will he be miss
ed by his family and loved ones.

Season for Deep Flowing.

Experience has taught that during
the fall, before the soil is saturated
by the winters rains, is the best time
to plow land deep. 1t not only deep
ems the soil and provides a reservoir
for storing moisture. for the crop the
following summer but it turns seeds
of noxious weeds and grass, together
with insects and pests, too deep for
them to do further damage.
Fall plowing serves another good
purpose in that it is the first step
toward early and thorough spring
preparation of the seed bed. Land
plowed deep in November will re-
main, as rule, in condition that will
make possible earlier preparation in
the spring. Put the large plows to
work on the farm. 1t will help you
to get ahead of the boil weevil.

a leading factor in the development

farms till too late for themselves and
their children to get the best advan-
tages. Children should have comforts
and pleasures before they determine
their future occupations and before
their characters are formed. The pa
rents themselves should have conve-
niences in their homes before over
work destroys their health and i'm
pairs their capacity to enjoy life on
the farm. Our incomes should serve
us, not we our incomes. Convent
ences and comforts are not to be
compared to their cost"
Increased Shipping Facilities.
One lesson America learned from
the war was the need of larger
number of merchant vessels flying
the American flag. In 1914 there
were on Is ships that unfurled the
Stars and Stripes at their masthead,
while now one-fourth of the worlds
shipping is carried on under the
American flag. Far-seeing men be-
fore the war urged a change of poll
cy to that of having our goods trans
ported in American bottoms, instead
of in ships owned and controlled by
competing countries.
1t would be a mighty poor policy
for grocer to call upon or, worse
still, be dependent upon competitor
across the street to deliver goods to
his customers. That is what the Unit
ed States did before the war. Practi-
cally all of our exports were deliver
ed in foreign markets by ships flying
the flag of England, Germany or
some other country. Now American
made goods are being sent across the
seas under the American flag, and
The Advertiser predicts that before
many years come and go, instead of
occupying fourth place, America will
press England for the first place.

Add to Comforts of Home.

While every purse is better sup
piled with money than ever before it
is mighty good time to look about
the home and see wherein it can be
made more attractive or more COM
Portable. Possibly it needs repairing,
,remodeling or enlarging. Every home
should be made as comfortable ard
attractive as possible, so as to make
children satisfied, if for no other rea-
son. Children are usually satisfied to
stay in a well appointed, comfortable
and attractively environed home, and
children are always safer at home un-
der the parental eye than when they
go out to other homes in quest of
pleasure and companionship. The fol-
lowing from the Farm and Ranch
concerning the improving of homes
is well said:
ga better home on the farm should
be the aim of those who were re-
strained from making needed i'm
provements during the war. 1t is true
prices of labor and materials are
now very high. Many may hesitate
to build or remodel homes or provide
conveniences because of the cost. But
it is also true that home and farm
are worth more now than ever be-
fore. 1t would seem that one could
afford to incur considerable expense
to provide a comfortable home on
the farm.
Many farmers make the mistake
of deferring improvements on their

The Family Orchard.

How few homes are supplied in
abundance with fresh fruit from the
family orchard! This should not be
true. AS fruit can be grown so east
ly in this climate there is no good
reason why every home should be
without wholesome fruit during prac-
tically all of the summer months. By
having succession of trees, one can
have fresh fruit from the trees from
early till late summer.
Now is the time to make begin
ming if you have not already done
so. Make a careful selection of trees
from some reliable nursery and
transplant them in the fall. This sea-
son is better than early spring plant
ing. Fruit in season will not only be
afactor in reducing the cost of living
but it will supply our tables with
that which nature provided. Fruit
should have place in our menu just
as vegetables, meats or starch food.
There is more than a grain of truth
in the old saying, "An apple day
will keep the doctor away" Prepare
to grow the apple at home instead of
having to buy it.

INSECT POWDER GROWN HERE
Americans Lost No Time in Devel-

Was Discovered.

In our grandfathers' day the So
called Persian insect powder (com-
monty sold nowadays under the name

Pretty dear for bug-killer.
The stuff was a mystery. Beyond
the fact that it was of a vegetable ma
ture, nobody knew what it was.
AS a matter Of fact, it came from
Transcaucasia, where its production
was very important industry. For
centuries it had been widely used in
Asiatic countries, and the source Of
the material was secret carefully
kept.
Eventually the secret was revealed
by an Armenian merchant. who, trav-
cling through Transcaucasia, discov-
cred that the insect powder was sim

circumstance that the persons from

taken away by the Germans, still
crazy.
Another time an Australian came
into our barracks and very seriously
told us that he had drag with the
German officers and that he had been
to dinner with them, and had had tur-
key, potatoes, coffee, butter, eggs,
sugar in his coffee, and all the. luxuries
you could think of. We just sat and
stared at him. 1t seemed impossible
that any of our own men would have
the gall to torture us like that, and yet
we could not possibly believe that 1t
had really happened. Finally, one
fellow could not stand it any longer.
He was nothing but skin and bones,
but he grabbed a dividing board and
there were just two wallops: the
board hit the Australians head and
| the head hit the floor. Then half a
dozen more pounced onto him and
gave him q real licking When he
came to he had forgotten all about
the wonderful dinner he did not have,
Not long after this the Russian doc
was no black typhus in our barracks
and we were allowed the freedom of
the camp except that we could not
visit the Russian barracks. That was
no hardship to me nor to the rest OF
us, except one chap from the Cambrian
Range, who had special pal among
the Russians that he wanted to see.
And, of course, when it was verboten,
he wanted to see him all the more.
| A day or two after the order ! was
standing outside the barracks door
when saw this fellow come out with
a dividing board in his hand. / thought
he was going to smash somebody with
| it, so stood by. But he stopped over
and jammed one end of the board
against the threshold of the door,
scratched the ground with the farther
end of the board and measured again.
He kept this up, length by length, in
the direction of the Russian barracks.
The sentry in the yard stopped and
stared at him, but the fellow kept
right on, paying no attention to any
body. Pretty soon he was right by the
sentry's feet and thought any minute
the sentry would give him the butt,
but he just stared while and let him
pass. That lad measured the whole
distance to the Russian barracks, went
inside, stayed a while and calmly
strolled back with the board under his
arm. When he reached our barracks
again he told us he had found vino
mine. What he had found was some
thing not so unusual-a boneheaded
German.
There was lot of bamboo near the
Russian barracks and the Russians
made baskets out of 1t and turned
them in to the Germans. For this they
got all the good jobs in the kitchen
and had a fine chance to get more to

Force Of Compressed Air.

The effects Of air resistance are
well known in the twelve and one
half mile Simplon tunnel, where an
exceptionally high amount Of energy
is required for running the electric
trains. The tunnel, which is fifteen
feet wide and eighteen feet high.
with a sectional area of two hundred
and fifty square feet, has ventilat-
ing current of $3.50 cubic feet of air
per second, maintained by two large
blast fans at the Brig end and two
exhaust fans at Iselle. Trains going
with this current encounter less re-
sistance than in open air up to fifteen
and half miles an hour, but at
higher speeds or in the opposite direc-
ton the resistance is much greater
than outside. Coasting by gravity
down the seven per one thousand
maximum gradient. train, even go
ing with the current, cannot exceed
thirty-fve miles per hour on account
of the braking by the air.
