H|GHPR|CED GAS HELPED
 CAR ADVANCE
Cole Aero-Eight Unusual Ex- ample of Progress Made In Getting Greater Mile
 age , From Fuel

The high price of gasoline in the last three or four years has reacted to the benefit of the motor car own CTS and contributed to the perfection of the modern motor car.
 The high price Of gasoline spurred manufacturers to increased efforts to get greater mileage from fuel. Motors have been refined with that in mind. Carburetion has been greatly advanced. So that today with present prices of gasoline, car owners are riding as cheaply. per haps more so, than they did in the days of Ii and 12-eent gasoline.
 One of the most remarkable eK amples of this improvement Is the Cole Aero Eight. Owners reports in- dicate an average of 14 to Is miles per gallon. Some. of course, exceed that mark. But the remarkable thing is that with a motor of so horse pow such remarkable mileage is ob- tainable.
 It means not only all the power one could possibly want in a motor

OPPOSING FORCES QUIT WARP FARE;;
 SIGN AGREEMENT
Fascist and Socialists Have Formed "a Court of Last Resort" for Any
 Future Trouble
By Associated Press

Rome, Sept. 1o.-Fascisti and socialists after months of guerilla warfare, have signed an agreement to abstain from fighting and have constituted, in case of new disputes, "a court of last resort" whose judg- ments shall be final. Meanwhile, there are occasional skirmishes but peace has practically come to terror ized Italy.
 The court consists of one arbiter Enrico De Nicola, president of the Chamber of Deputies, who is clothed with supreme power in the settle ment of disputes between the two factions. De Nicola was elected to the speakership of the Chamber at the beginning of this session by 3 practically unanimous vote. He has a nationally known reputation for fairness. In his inaugural address he brought the House to it's feet, Fas- cisti wing with socialists and com munists to applaud his words.
 According to the agreement, each side purposes to discipline it's own members and to be responsible for their conduct, inflicting their own penalties for infractions of the peaos pact. The return of all the tro- phies of war" is demanded. During the hostilities. the Fascist comman- deered and captured all kinds of so- clalist spoil, including red banners, socialist arms, emblems, office furni- ture, seals, record books and thou sands of members cards.
 Socialists Resign
 - During the strife. the Fascist also had forced many socialists to resign their positions. Now they may re- turn to work in return for the prom ist that they will in no Way inter- fere with the patriotic propa ganda promulgated by the Fascist and will pay the respect due the Italian fIaf.
 The Fascist succeeded in the ne- gotiations in persuading the social ists to disown the organization of militant radicals known as "Arditi del Popolo' who have been ambush ing innocent travellers as well as Fascist Several deaths and many wounded have been the toll of these ambushed parties. The government is using every means to rid the coun- try districts of them. Strong patrols of carabineers and royal guards re- connoiter the troublesome sections of the country
 The truce between the Fascisti and socialists was largely due to d'An- nunzios former chef-d de- cabinet, Ma Jor Giuriati, who has worked inces- sanity to bring both sides to an un- derstanding. Mussolini the head of the Fascist, speaking of the pact. said: since the socialists have shown themselves inclined to love Ttalv and be pat-iotic, we are ready to offer them peace" ~~

OUTBREAKS PLAN
 RECONSTRUCTION
 OF THEIR CHURCH
By Assoc,ated Prcss

Columbus, O., Sep -em Der 10.--The National Lutheran co.ncil. organized in 1918, to solve some of the after war reconstruction problems of the Lutheran church in America and abroad, met here. to formulate pro- gramme of it's work for world service this fall.
 mass meeting of Lutherans will be held here tonight at which How ard =. Gold, national director of Lu- theran World service, will outline the steps being necessary to meet conditions facing Lutherans in Flu rope.
 The facts are that the Lutheran church has 65. 800, 900 adherents in Europe, of whom about 59,000, 900 have been seriously affected by the war. Hundreds of thousands of Lu- therans have perished and a large number of churches and church in stitutions have been destroyed
 Large Membership
 The Lutheran church has a large membership in the famine districts of southern Russia. such as the val ley of tho Volga river, the Black sea district and the Ukraine. Reports re- ceived by the national council from these areas state that conditions there are horrible and that the short age of crops has left no hope for mill lions of people for the coming year.
 The council has recevedsa cable gram from its commissioner, Dr. J. A. Morehead, that he has reached Moscow and Petrograd with emer- gency relief but this was only tempo rary and makes no provision for hun dreds of thousands of others in other Russian cities or in the stricken ru- ral districts.
 The council has received message from Odessa saying that 30 per cen: of the people in theA hospitals there are suffering from typhus, are dying solely from lack of medical care. that the hospitals are poorly equipped and there is a great dearth of physicians. The council is con- fronted with the necessity of pro- viding funds not only for the Rus sian Lutherans but for those in cen tral EuropeaRr countries.
 Three-fear Programme
 To meet this situation, it proposes to continue its three year programme by which it planned to raise $1,50O.- 900 for world service. It's 1920 cam paign netted about s1,5O0,OO0. It is believed, however, that $l,250.U00 to be raised next year will be sufficient to continue the work of the council for another year, owing to the ad- vantages of the present rates of ex- change.
 The council intends also to con tinue its work of collecting used clothing for shipment to its agents in Europe It has received information that there is great dearth of clothing discarded by Americans.

Peasant Woman Was Made Rich By Death
 of Son In U. s. Army
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, September 1o.-An old peasant woman was made the richest woman in her village by a letter from the war risk insurance bureau of the American government. The incident is told by a member of the Friends Relief mission in Poland, who writes:
 We were just driving into the town of Hrubieszow in the war-rav- ragged district of Polan< when peas ant woman. clad in rags. and bare rooted, came up to the WE gon and pre- sented letter which she could not read. It proved to be from the war risk insurance bureau at Washing ton, stating that her son had died in the American army and that his in- surance would come to her for 20 years, at the rate of $25 a month, Already there was $500 waiting for her. which would be sent shortly by check.
 The woman's face was shadowed as she heard of her sons death. but 1t frightened with amazement when she heard of the money. The son had not been heard from for three years. and his death had been taken for granted. She had other children and they had all been living in a dueout, with no wood for building house and no implements to farm with, and only diet of rye and potatoes. The 5000 in American money makes. at the present rate of ex- change, over 100000 Polish marks and would make her the richest wom- an in the village and probably in the country.
 "I consulted the postmaster for her and he said that when she made her mark upon the check the local bank would pay her the money Only of course. no local bank would be able to cash so large check without first getting the money from Warsaw.
 This is z-fair example of the diff ference In exchange between America and Poland"

Shellman's Importance
AS a Shipping Point

The writer's attention was called to
the matter Of Shellman as a shipping
point last Monday, when five or six
farm products were being loaded in
car lots on the railroad siding. Among
them were peaches, hay, cotton seed
and peanuts. Shipping records show
that approximately $50 cars OF peach
es have already been shipped with re-
turns approximating $4,000. There
have been $500 tons of peanuts shipp-
ed by the local dealers for which ap-
proximately 100000 has been received;
There is at present an average OF l,5OO
bales of cotton in each warehouse.
Shellman's cotton received will ap-
proximate about $500 bales, which
shows 5000 or $500 bales have been
sold. From these $500 bales the cot
ton seed will run about 5000 tons,
of which so per cent have been shipp-
ed other markets. Being unable to Sc
cure the necessary seed the Shellman
Oil Co. has imported number of
tons. Up to the present time the
Shellman Oil Co. has crushed 1908
tons of seed For the coming season
the farmers around this territory will
readily find markets that will warrant
their Ginterest Conditions are consid-
erably reversed from what every one
expected several months ago, but
Shellman is still on the move and with
plenty pep looking forward to our
next crop.
