..LrulL auLu manufacturers have
been wrestling with the production
proposition for many months. Deal
ers all over the United States and
abroad are crying for cars and the
makers have long lists of untitled or
ders. Interruption has been frequent.
First came the coal strike. Then
the shortage of freight cars, which
not only retarded the arrival of much
needed material and parts, but pre-
cluded the shipment of the finished
product, so that thousands of cars
were stocked in all available places
throughout the city. At the Michigan
state fair grounds, on the outskirts
of the city, there are some 10000
automobiles partially protected with
canvass covering awaiting shipment
or driveway.
Although hundreds of cars are be-
ing driven from Detroit every day de-
spite the bad weather and almost i'm
passable roads, the accumulation
grows. This condition is not strange
when the tremendous daily produc-
tion of Detroit's auto factories is con-
sidered. The Ford plant at present is
turning out more than $500 cars
daily in accordance with production
schedule of 100000 for the current
fiscal year. The production of Dodge
cars is better than $50 daily, with the
Maxwell, Chalmers, Hudson, Essex
and all others straining their utmost
to meet the demand for their produc-
tion.

Miss Florence Minis Spends
Weekend in Providence, r. /.

Dear Advertiser: i.
suppose such cities as PhiladeI-
2hia, William PENIS legacy of BROTH
erly love, and Roger Williams Provi-
dence, founded on the idea of "soul
liberty" are two cities whose histo-
ries would reveal the history of the
country accurately from the earliest
beginning.
Roger Williams was a young Welsh
preacher, eloquent and learned, who
came over to America early in the.
seventeenth century to escape the re-
ligious intolerance of the English
Church. On arriving in Boston he
soon found that his ideas were no
more in agreement with the Ply-
mouth Colony than with those of the
people whom he had left. He then.
went to Narragansett Bay and found
ed Providence, buying the state Of
Rhode Island from the Indians. This
ne called first Providence Pls.- -.tation.
had the pleasure of spending the
last weekend of my spring vacation
in this capital of Rhode Island. The
city has been called the Southern
Gateway of New England" and the
"city set on seven hills" This is a
modern Rome, set not on muddy
Tiber, however, but at the head Of
the Narragansett Bay. Curiouslyi
enough the shores of this water are
parallel with Rome.
Rhode Island is only forty-eight
miles at its greatest length and thirty
Iseven miles at its greatest width. Be-
ing the smallest of the six New Eng
land states, one would hardly expect
it to boast of so lovely a capital city
and so impressive a State House.
Like city set on a hill, this building
cannot be hid.
1t is rather refreshing to visit
modern edifce that breathes of live
issues after studying musty buildings
of antiquated days. On entering the
massive doorways of the State Hc----71 Hc----7,

own Lucy Holcombe Pickens, South
Cardinals vice-regent. 1t was a beau
tiful paper and was thoroughly en-
ijoyed.
In the absence of Mrs. ]. H. Can

ed by Mrs. Woodson as being the
first man from Edgefield to volunteer
his services in the great war. Sketch

and loyalty of Edgefeld and her men
during all the wars of the past and

cry for help by coupling and extend
ing into our midst its great freight
ing hose and equipments;

cure catarrhal deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedy. Catarrh-

condition of the mucous lining of

is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the intiamma-
ton can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition.

by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN
WOODLANDS PROFITABLE

A bulletin containing numerous
illustrations has been prepared by
forestry specialists of the U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture for the ben
eft of Southern farmers interested
in making their woodlands more
profitable. 1t contains suggestions
regarding the marketing of many
kinds of logs, and calls attention to
the Importance of wise cutting. The
need of protecting seedlings in wood
lands is emphasized, and the waste
full stripping of land, such as has
laid bare so many slopes, is con
demned. Photographs show the
evil results that follow shortsighted
practices.

when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic-

a cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of school
and keep him off the street until
fully recovered, as there is a hun

Years ago there used to be consid-
cradle antag0nism between business
centers. and farmers and other peo-
pie living in the outlying country.
The farming elements kicked if
they had to pay taxes for improve
ments in the centers. And the bus
mess men of the centers were slow
to give the farmers their share of
public funds, and felt too little re-
sponsibility to help finance them
through their business operations.
This spirit is greatly changed to-
day. The relation that should exist
between the people of a business
center and those living in the out
lying districts might be stated as
follows: The prosperity of this
center depends absolutely on the
prosperity of the surrounding coun-
try. And conversely, the outlying
population must do all it can to
promote the well-being of the CEN
ter. Both elements must work to-
gether and for each others inter-
ests on 365 days in the year.

At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term "spring

toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.

people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish

year, should try the refreshing tonic
