YORK AND READ
. ARE LIONiZED.
Sergeant York Says Prayer Saved
Him in France.-Read Dis
cussed Flying.

Columbus, Ohio, July 12.-Sergt.
Alvin C. York, this country's great
war hero, and Lieut.. Commander A.
C. Read, of the NC-4, were the idol
lied favorites at the Methodist Cen
tenary Exposition today. Separate
receptions were accorded the heroes
in the Coliseum, which was crowded
to tn edoors. Sergt. York, in a brief
response to his introduction, said:
sT wish could make a fine speech
to you, but I am not speaker; Pm
just plain mountain boy from Ten
nessee. All I have to say about the
war in France is in honor Of God, for
without His help we would not have
won."
Sergt. York is deeply religious, and
this fact was brought out in the few
words he said to the assembled thou
sands today. 81 live and practice a
full salvation" he said. "And 1 be-
ieve in continual prayer. WhIIe L
was in France J. prayed continually
to God that I might come home with
out scratch from the Germans, and
l did," '~~4
Lieut.. Commander Read, in re-
sponse to his introduction, comment
ed on the lack of enthusiasm over
flying in this country as compared
with that manifested in England and
France. He modestly stated that the
entire navy department deserved
credit for his crossing the Atlantic.
! York and Read met each other for
the first time at a luncheon rendered
them by the centenary officials: Dur
ing the day thousands pressed for
ward to shake hands with the heroes,
who were protected from the anxi-
GUS crowds by guard of soldiers
from the Columbus barracks. The
two heroes were presented with med
ais struck in their honor.

don't have the grain to make the

Do you know since I have been in
Germany l haven't seen German
leather suit case or leather hand
satchel, not even an old one. Even
, the supposedly "big dogs" have only
paste board or canvas suit cases
when they travel. I don't know how
to account for it unless it be that
leather goods Of all kind were "call-
ed in" as a war measure-even from
the private families. One would hard
;ly notice the scarcity Of leather goods
were he to come into contact with
the German soldiers only. For all Of
them have their leather boots and
shoes. But as soon as he entered any
of the towns and villages he would
notice at once that leather shoes and
leather goods of all kind were con-
spicuous by their absence. Wooden
shoes and canvas shoes of every de-
scription have replaced leather shoes
in the show windows. Now that the
weather has turned warm it is not
an uncommon sight to see ladies on
the street, and in the fields, wearing
wooden sandals with only the stock
ings God gave them on their feet.
Perhaps there is policy in that. They
don't have to darn the holes they
wear in their stockings. Each stock
ing has an "auto-darner." This aft
ernoon I counted ten consecutive la
dies that passed by my window. Of
this number only three Of them had
on leather shoes. The others were
either bare-footed or wore wooden
sandals,

MARKETING AND
FINANCE CORPORATION
American Cotton Association Look
ing to Formation With Proposed
Capital of 100000, 1000.

Columbia, July 10.-Steps are be-
ing taken by the American Cotton as
sociation looking to the formation of
domestic marketing and financing
corporation with a capital of $400,-
100000 or more according to a
statement given out at the Columbia
headquarters of the association yes
terday. J. Skottowe Wannamaker,
president, is quoted as saying that
the success of the new corporation is
practically assured and also that it
will not interfere in any way with the
organization Of the S100,000,000 for
.eign export corporation.
At the Columbia headquarters of
the association yesterday the resolu-
ton adopted at the meeting of the
board of directors of the American
Cotton association at New Orleans
last week providing for the forma-
ton Of : the corporation, was given
out for the first time. The resolu-
ton declares that provision should be
made for the storage and holding of
at least one-third of the normal
crop.
The formation Of the corporation
will be followed, it is understood by
the construction or purchase of giant
warehouses in every section of the
cotton belt for the storage of cotton.
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, it is of vital Importance
to the best interests of the cotton
producer that domestic corporation
be formed in each of the cotton pro-
duction States for the marketing and
financing of cotton, and,
Whereas, it is highly important
that the organization of this domes-
tic marketing and financing corpora
tion not conflict with the organiza-
tion of the export corporation, there
fore,
.'Be it resolved, That all necessary
steps be taken and all details work
ed out for the formation of a State
corporation for marketing and fnanc-
ing cotton along the lines recon-
mended by the special committee at
the New Orleans convention last
month.
"Be it further resolved, That a spe-
cial committee be appointed with re-
quest to complete this work and re-
port same to the first meeting Of the
board of directors after the perma-
nent organization Of the American
Cotton association.
"Be it further resolved, That in the

MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
Improper Methods Have Placed Eco

Says Colorado Expert.

Prof. e. B. House of the Colorado
Agricultural College is a firm believer
in the Importance of maintaining a
road after it is built. He supplies the
following, taken from The Engineer
ing News-Record, and says of it lit Is
50 true and hits the nail so squarely
hat l quote it direct:
1.-THE tendency in road improvement
is to select types of roads which re-
quire very little annual maintenance.
The genera feeling among laymen
seems to be that when a road surface
requires some annual maintenance to
keep it In good shape, it is an expen-
sive type and should be avoided. Yet,
If the interest on investment and the
repairs are taken into consideration,
the cheaper wearing surface may in
many cases prove to be the more sat-
isfactory and economical.
ut is not uncommon to see roads of
good type constructed and then.

method OF. repair or maintenance i'm
posed which has been found by long
practice to be defective. When we see
mud holes in earth roads filed with
riprap, crushed stone or cinders, it Is
not the engineers fault that an enor-
nous price is paid for the repair mate
rial; the road engineer knows that
proper drainage, and repairing with
earth from the side of the road, are
the economical methods of mainte-
nance.
"Old gravel and macadam roads are
often repaired by filling ruts and de-
pressions with inferior material that
is readily displaced by traffic or
ground to dust. BituminOus surfaces
are often patched, if patched at all,

Thousands upon thousands of women

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous. irrita-

But hundreds of women claim that d..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. BY enclosing ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
