Helen Sullivan Writes About
Christmastide Plans Over

In the Christmas mail received in
the past week have been included
letters from old friends of the pa
per who though a long long way from
the old home town were not un-
mindful Of those left behind when
the great festal season of the
whole year drew near. One Of the
most interesting of these comes to us
from Miss Helen Sullivan, who has
been engaged in vocational training
with those of the American army on
the thine since the Armistice Day
Day of November 11th, 1918. Miss.
Sullivan has been quartered at Cob
lenz, Germany, her address being 46
Kaiser Wilhelm Ring and the follow
ing excerpts from the letter, are sure
to prove of interest to large num-
number of our readers here in Lang
don and over the county:
"Old fashioned home made candy
and popcorn balls, with Salvation
Army doughnuts, will be distributed
to every American soldier on the
Rhine in the Christmas which the
American Red Cross, the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
Salvation Army have prepared as
part of the celebration. In addition,
all the mess halls have arranged for
dinner to include about all the
dishes known at home and prepared
from the best food obtainable.
The dinner will be washed down
with light wines, after which plenty
of cigars will be on hand. The ma
jority of the mess halls also will
have special orchestras and vaude-

Trend in U.S.is Toward Lighter
Cars, Due to Their Convenience

According to government authorit.
les there is waiting market today
for at least 100000 to 100000
automobiles Despite enoromusly in
creased output, the manufacturers
have not come anywhere near stock
ing the market. The market, in fact,
is still far undersold. No better
proof of that condition can be offered
than the automobile salesrOOm. To-
day cars are sold there as rapidly as
they are placed on the floor. This
condition means placing of thousands
of additional motor cars in service to
increase the consumption of gasoline
and oils. .!<
1t is. conservatively estimated that
there are more than 100000 auto
mobiles in use today. There are
probably $4,000 motor trucks in use
and these totals will be greatly in
creased, during 1920.
Certain unmistakable conditions
make this trend toward the good
light car imperative. Among these
may be noted the growing congestion
of traffic in cities and towns with
parking space at a premium. The
car which can be easily and quickly
Unanswered within a short turning
radius and backed or driven into
comparatively small parking space at
the curb more than ever commends
itself to the motorist. With the high
costs prevailing, mobile transporta-
tion must necessarily be increased on
city streets and country highways;
more good roads must be developed,
and those. that have been built must
be properly maintained.
There is reason for that demand
beyond the weekly garage bill. We
are facing the fact that at least 40
per cent of the estimated available
petroleum supplies underground have
been consumed. There are no known
commercial substitutes for gasoline

TRACTOR TESTING REQUIRED
BEFORE SALE IN NEBRASKA

Facts, not promises will be studied
hereafter by the Nebraska farmer
who is preparing to buy. a tractor.
For. the state has decreed that all
tractor types to be sold within its
boundaries must first undergo Of
fetal tests to determine their actual
ratings. Reports of these tests will
be at the disposal of the prospective,
purchaser, who will be thus enabled
to make an intelligent choice. Nee
essary buildings and machinery have
now been completed by the state.
With the coming. Of spring, all types
and makes of tractors in local use
will be rated.
In all nine tests are given in the
course Of the searching examination.
