DIRECTORS WORK TRAIN
Head Of Big Railroad Resents Calling
His Train q Private One.

A Regional Railroad Director was
recently visited on his special train
by a newspaper reporter. One of the
first things the railroad man said was,
please don't say in your paper that
l am here in my private train Call
it my work train.
His idea was obvious. With private
railro: cars we have come to connect
the idea of luxury, Incidence, and great
wealth. In all probability this mobile Of
fee was made for real economy. Let us
be wise enough to Judge each expendi'
ture on its merits unde- its own pecul-
lar conditions.
The man who wears threadbare
clothes and lives on insufficient and
nnwholesome food that he may save
70 per cent of his income, may be the
least thrifty individual in the commu,
nifty. Stand for WISE expenditure,
rather than simply SMALL expen'
diture

WAR Souvenir
GRENADE BANKS
NOW AVAILABLE
THESE WONDERFUL INsTRU.
MENTs OF DESTRUCTION NOW
ON PEACEFUL MISSION.
WHOLE CAR LOAD OF THEM
Banks In Nearly Every City In Eighth
District Have Limited
Supply.
WHOLE CAR LOAD OF THEM

These Hand Grenade Banks, for
which the children and grown-ups of
Missouri Arkansas and Kentucky have
been waiting with considerable eager
ness for some time, have arrived.
A whole carload of them was
shipped by fast freight from Washing
ton by the War Department and con-
signed to Government Director Wilson
at st. Louis for distribution through
out the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict.
These now harmless little souvenirs,
which, when they were made, were
powerful instruments for inflicting
death on the Boche. and which in the
War of Nations proved that they had
lived up to their reputation, are now
to enter upon career of usefulness
and it is expected that, in the future,
they will prove as great upbuilders
as they were destroyers in the past
These little grenades, which are
small enough for a man to grasp in
one hand and hurl many yards, have
been Invested Of their strength. The
powerful explosives and the fulminat-
ing caps have been removed. A child
can play with them in perfect safety
and yet, outwardly, the grenade has
all of the appearances that it had in
actual warfare.
1t required much finesee on the part
of the government officials and the
nnanciers of the district to place these
real souvenirs in the hands of the peo-
pie First. treasury officials had to
deal with the officials Of the War De-
partment and purchase them. Then,
because of the first cost of the gren-
AIDES and the additional cost Of remov-
ing the explosives, the treasury Off
Gals were not able to give them out
right as gifts.
That is where the banks of Missouri,
| the game. They bought these banks,
many thousands of them, from the
Treasury Department
Now they are being given outright
| to those who are entitled to them. Any
person under the age of IS years who
buys one War Savings Stamp (the
value of which this month is $420)
from one Of the banks that is author
lied to distribute them is entitled to
one of the grenades.
Any person over IS years Of age may
obtain one of the grenades If he pur-
chases from one of the authorized
agents more than one of the War Saw
ings Stamps during the current year.
In many of the cities and towns
throughout Arkansas, Missouri and
Kentucky, banks have taken advan-
tage of the governments offer and
have laid in a supply of these gren-
AIDES. The person who wishes to avail
himself of the offer must needs be in
hurry in purchasing his stamps. The
supply is limited and it is doubtful if
any more can be obtained when the
present supply is gone.

REQ PRODUCTION

Great Demand Continues to Maintain Unexpected
 Shortage

according to statement just made public by Mir R H. Scott. vice president and general manager, the Rec Motor Car company is now the largest truck pro- dGccr in the world Mir. Scotts state nent, which is based upon the otf;cia, sngures for the first quarter of 1919, comes as a surprise to those who have not watched closely the progress which the Reo company has been making in the manufacture of trucks. Mr. Scott also indicates that the Rec Motor Car com pany is planning an increased produce tlon both of passenger cars and trucks Tor the next fiscal year The text of the statement follows:
 Based on the official figures for the three months ending March 31, 1919. at the present time Rec Motor Car com, pany Is producing more trucks for com mercial uses than any other truck mann facturer in the United States-with the possible exception of Ford, whose figures are not available. l make this statement with full know edge of the statements in the advertising of other manufac- turers, that they are the largest truck producers. Official figures furnish the indisputable answer
 This acllevement represents to us the Nlndlcation or a principle. When we first presented truck whose outstanding at trioutes were pneumatic tires, speed and complete electrical equipment the judg- ment of MT Thomas, our chief engi neer, was freely questioned by buyers and competitors alike Within the past year the correctness of our principle has been eloquently acclaimed by countless mutations; and today the principle has been even more eloquently acclaimed bT fnp ultimate 1,6o

PERFORMANCE OF
 COLE 8 WONDERFUL

 Horsepower

The Cole Motor Car company, in per fecting the Cole Aero-Eight strove for all expanding range of performance an in- creased scope Of possibilities and lower cost of operation.
 That it achieved it's purpose has been proved to the satisfaction of hundreds of owners, who after year of experience, vouch for these accomplishments in this the original aero-type motor car.
 Among it's distinctive claims to recog- nition in the motor world are it's in creased tire mileage, it's fuel economy, its power, speed and acceleration. it's mechanically correct body. it's shock ab- sorbinS frame, it's ability to operate with maximum efficiency with low grades of fuel and it's aero-type lines.
 The original tire equipment on the Cole Aero-Eight is even capable of 15, 900 miles, an unprecedented achievement among motor cars.
 A year of tests has proved that an. av- craze of from 12 to Ii miles per gallon Of gasoline in an S0-horse power. eight sylinder motor is consistent reality in the Aero Eight.
 Its great reserve power, speed, accelera- tion and smoothness of operation is due not only to the increased efficiency of the motor, but to aero-type engineering prin- clples embodied in the car as whole. By reason of these the Cole Aero-Eight, weighing only 3600 pounds, travels at a sr"ed of 70 miles an hour with no greater [" It or vibration than if it were trav- cling 8.
 The mechanically correct, aero-type bodies of the Cole Aero- Eight, not only are an innovation in motor car fashions, but actually contribute to the perform ance efficiency comfort, economy and of the entire car Wind resistance has been reduced r per cent in these designs, thereby minimumizing demands on fuel, tires and the car itself The shock absorbing frames, in addition

 Y would not attempt to forecast the future. But this I will say We shan not voluntarily reinquish the position of dominance we have thus acquired. To maintain that position, we must increase cur truck output to keep pace with the constantly increasing demand-and even now our production iSrunnng more than 5c per cent stronger than the record fig ul es for the first quarter.
 With all that, it must nos be supposed that we intend to abandon the passenger car field. War conditions, and our feel ing Of what was due from us to our country in wartime, curtailed our pas senger car production for the past F months That curtailment was tempo rary. We propose to build more passen- ger automobiles in the 12 months be- ginning August l, 1919, than in any sim liar period in the history of this com pany."

 Then, too, last year many automo- bile owners, for patriotic reasons, de- cided to make their old cars give still another seasons service, and now that victory has arrived, they are consider ing the purchase of a car.

Automobile dealers everywhere are agreed that the coming months are to be especially prosperous in the auto mobile and motor truck fields" says c. A. klssel' president of the Kissel Motor Car. company. No doubt the reaction from wartimes is responsible for this to great extent.

Willards Made Better
Why 1t Is Called the Still Better
 Battery

Before threaded insulation was per fected, the Willard battery was ad- mittedly the best, says W. H. Young No better proof of this is needed than the fact that S5 per cent of all makers of electrically equipped cars have pur- chased Willards for the initial battery equipment on their product.
 Two and half million car owner grant Willard supremacy.
 Past records attest Willard worth this new achievement added feature that was one of the few improvemen ts possible in the Willard.
 Ask any car driver who has a still better Willard what he thinks of a Willard battery. The chances are he will use these very words. It's still better-it was always good"

MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN ON.

The New Castle County Farm Bureau
membership campaign for 1920 has been
launched by the Hockessin, Fairview,
Stanton-Nawport communities. AT

each of these communities definite
plans were laid for securing their re-
spective quotas. MIR. R. G. bucking-

ship team, has taken the responsibility
of seeing that the members of his team
shall be the guests of honor at the din
ner given IN December by the losing

decidedly worth while for every farmer
and his family to get into the contest.

number of farm bureau members. The
calf is two months old is NIGEL marked

20 pounds of butter. The calf is worth
at least 500. The New Castle County

to the boy or girl in each team who Sc
cures the largest number of members.
At each Of the meetings County
Agent R. O. Bausman and Club Leader
Agnes P. Medill by use of charts re-
viewed the work accomplished during
the present year. Each committee dis
cussed and adopted a county program
