At the time that the government
assumed control of the railroads the
freight car equipment aggregated ap-
proximately 100000 cars The max
imum life of freight ear is twenty
years therefore, in order to main
tain this number of cars in proper
condition. to say nothing of providing
for additional needs it is necessary
to build at least 10000 cars per year.
During the twenty-siX months in

The farmer has suffered through
the lack of transportation facilities.
Food products are worth nothing to
producer nor consumer unless they
can be delivered to the market.
In our highly complex social sys-
tenn it is difficult TO draw clear de-
lineation between essential and nom
essential Industries but one thing is
very certain and that is that agricul-
ture is the hub about which all else
revOlves. The farmer is dependent
on many phases of the manufacturing
industry to supply his needs but alb
solutely everyone is dependent upon
the farmer. Since 1915 the volume of
freight handled in this country has
increased 45 per cent During the
same period the increase in number
of freight ears amounts to only per
cent.

preparing to make another visit
to the high schools of Madison
county with the view of getting
a number of additional partici-

HARDING GAINING
OVER WOOD IN OHIO
Harding Men Expect Future Re-
suits To Show Still Further
Advances In Race

Columbus O., April 2S-Early
returns today on yesterdays
Ohio presidential preference pri-
mary showed Senator Harding to
be leading General Wood by g.
COO votes.
When four-6fths of the vote
was counted, Harding led Wood
by 1918.
There seems to be a STEADY
gain in store for Harding, since
the count of votes found 4,O73
out of a total of 5,S82 precincts in
the state, gives Harding 88,793
and Wood 7o,548.
Johnson is leading Hoover by a
slight margin, according to re-
turns from 1881 precincts in var
ious parts of the state.
Late returns show that three
Harding men and one Wood man
are leading the republican "big
four" candidates to the republi-
can convention. Further gains are
anticipated when the vote from
several eastern sections of the
state are heard from.

RECORD BREAKING
TRIP FROM FLINT
Made In Chevrolet By Lindsey
Blanton, Of Richmond, Well
Known "Pathfinder"

A number Of Chevrolet cars,
started from the factory at Flint,
Mich, Saturday afternoon short
ly after one o'clock, and the path
finder a regulation Chevrolet
roadster, in charge of Lindsey
Blanton, of Richmond, reached
this city Sunday night at 8
o'clock. Thirty hours from Flint,
Mich, to Richmond, KY, in a
bran new car, with out stop ex-
cept for gas and water, is a re-
cord set that has not been equal
ed by any other machine and Mr..
Blanton maintains that he is not
afraid of the record being chang
ed for the better. He was forced
to detour upon several. occasions,
after running through inundated
highways, sometimes being fore
ed to go so miles out of his way.
The little machine plouaed up
hill and down, and sang the same
old -"My Old Kentucky
Home" according to Mr.. Blan-
ton, throughout the somewhat
weird journey. The deluge caus-
ed the driver to lose sight OF
highways at times, but he con-
tlnued the non-rest trip, covering
some of the toughest roads to be
found in three states. The ma
chine was closely followed by
others, but the local driver was
the first in. Mr.. Blanton stated
that he saw but four freight
trains during the entire journey
The cars were for the Dixie
Auto Company.
