AUTOMOBILES A NECESSITY
Have Solved Many Of the Country's
Transportation Problems.

Again the question Of priority OF
shipments on the railroads has
brought up the question Of what are
the non essential industries. Every
one is ready to affirm that his particu
lar industry is surely essential and
many very easily admit thai the other
fellows is non essential.
Tile question of the standing of the
motor car is as usual brought up in
the early stages of the discussion,
Since the troubles of the country are
in no small measure due TO shortage
of transportation facilities the motor
cars Immediately prove themselves to
be Of prime necessity. Without the
motor cars taking care of the percent
age of transportation that they do,
the railroads would be in an even
worse predicament. Many town and
city have already been relieved OF
serious shortages of food and fuel by
motor cars and trucks,
Motor cars are transporting seed
from farm to farm from county to
county and even farther. Farmers
have learned to use the car TO such
an extent that production of the farms
would be cut down more than serious.

these people, raising their efficiency
and relieving the railroads Of this
burden.
In case of a general railroad strike
and a tie up of sources of food and
fuel supplies the only thing between
the public and starvation would be the
motor cars. During the war the large
numbers OF men needed for motor
transport were only available because
of the wide distribution of cars in oul
country. An extremely large percen;
age of the flying corps was made VI
of motorists and motor mechanics
were the men who took care of tht
Iplanes and motors.

The committee in charge of the Sal

by the adjutant in charge Of the State
OF Vermont to continue the drive

1t was planned to hold the Tag Day
last Saturday but was postponed, due

Saturday.

Mllkweed Seeds.

The mllkweed seeds arc concealed
In pod, which breaks open and cx-
poses them TO the wind, Up they go
through thc air, each seed carried by
ball Of silky down, the threads so
frall that you are astonlshed when
you examine them With microscope.
Each thread turns out TO be a separate
tube ribbed with dark vein-lke streaks
arranged In an irregular manner.
When milkweed pod bursts open,
you can imagine yourself at mlnla-
ture aero meet In which scores Of
white craft soar up into the morning
wind.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
stumped Maine from end to, end,
making the League of Nations the
sole issue, says the enormous MAORI
ty given the Republicans does not
mean anything. We admire his
judgment in that decision, or rather
we admire his nerve in making the
announcement. A few days ago
though, it did mean much. And i
certainly means that the Secretary of
the Navy rendered but little good to
the waning cause of Wilson's League,
while taking time off to make parti-
san appeals for his Chiefs pet mea-
sure. If the remainder of the Coun-
try votes anything like Maine did in
Mondays election, on Nov. 2, only
the solid portion of the solid South
may be reported as Democratic.
