AN UNTRUE ALLEGATION

Some people who should know bet
ter have been saying around town
that the candidates for mayor and
alderman who the Star does not favor
cannot obtain space in the paper for
their arguments.
There is no truth in the statement,
and the people who make it are either
preiudiced or ignorant.
The Star has never refused any
communication On public affairs, if
said communication was properly
worded and properly signed. As our
readers know, it has admitted in this
campaign a couple of communications,
improperly worded and directed
against it and it's friends.
We have not refused any commu-
nication from either side during the
present municipal campaign except
one libellous and anonymous letter
which we do not believe would have
had the endorsement of any candidate
had it been published.
We are printing today communi.
cation from the council, which claim:
to be an explanation of public affairs
but which is really, as we shall show
tomorrow, "A Campaign Document,
in favor of MeIssrs. Thomas. McIvel
and Winer. We viii make them wisl
them had not asked for its publica
ton at this time.

EARLY SWEET POTATOES AGAIN

In October we tried to get up an
order for a carload of seed sweet POI
tatoes of the Little Stem Jersey va
riety. The response was not quick
enough and we missed that particular
lot. However orders have been COM
ing in slowly ever since and we now
have hopes of making up the car lot
Some men who expressed a desire for
some of these seed potatoes earlier IN
the fall have not yet sent IN an order.
Let's close this matter up by Sat
urday. Dec. nth These seed pota-
toes win cost between six and seven
dollars a barrel delivered at stations
here in the county. They should ar
rive early in January.
Here are the facts relative to the
matter Of growing them:

and in demand in the northern and
some southern markets.
2. They grow fairly uniform in
size.
3. They have been raised this past
season land for two or three years.
near Hastings and Green Cove
Springs.
4. They have sold for an average
price this year of about $14 barrel
Il 5. They viii yield as well as varie-
ties grown here.
6. They should be shipped from
June Is TO July 15.
z. They are adapted to shipping in
bushel crates. which are cheaper than
barrels, more easily stacked and
handled, and would help give Us dis
tinctive pack.
8. They will have to be graded a
carefully as other truck.
l 8. They can be shipped in any
Iamount, by routing them over boat

OF the Star that some of our newly

are under the impression that the
courthouse being the seat Of the
county government and the polling
booths for state and national elections
are always located there. that It IS
the place to go to cast their votes for
all candidates for office. This is true
insofar as state and national elections
are concerned, but city election is

OPTIMISM SEEN
In AUTO FIELD
Estimated Only Two Months
Surplus Unsold Au-
tOmObiles.

Many factors combine to make
those affiliated with the automobile
industry optimistic. The principal
one is the feeling that the United
States is headed for a long period
Of prosperity, built on sane and
sound lines, and not carrying with
1t the inflated conditions brought on
by the war.
The public, in the opinion of many,
will begin to buy when the prices
of various commodities reach a rea-
sonable level. and when the general
buying starts again the automobile
Will be among the first to benefit,
Although easy money is not ex-
pected in the automobile business,
1t is a fact that bankers are much
more friendly to the industry than
they were six months ago, and this
is considered a very reassurinK sign.
A factor and a big one is that the
unsold cars in the country comprise
only one or two months supply un-
der ordinary conditions, and that a
spring shortage is by no means inn
probable. Then again the replace
ment demand has not by any means
disappeared and when this gets into
full activity again there is bound
to be marked stimulation to bust
ness. Consequently the optimism.
for II is well founded.

EXPERTS, PURPOSE
Committee Also Will Map
Out Plan of Ed
ucation.

C. ]. Tilden, professor of engi-
neering mechanics at Yale Univer-
sity, has been granted leave of alb
'sence for a year to accept the posi-
ton of director OF the highway and
highway transport education COM
mittee, of which DR.. P. P. Claxton.
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, is chairman.
The committee, which was formed
last May at the invitation of the
Commissioner OF Education in addi-
tion to DR.. ClaXton, includes Thomas
H. Mcdonald, chief of the Bureau OF
Public Reads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture; Col. Mason M
Patrick, Corps OF Engineers, United
States army; Roy D. Chaplin, presi-
dent of the Hudson Motor Car Com
pany; W. S. Keller. president of the
American Association of State High
way officials; H. S. Firestone, of the
FIrestope Tire Company; Dean
Bishop, of the University of Pitts
burgh, and Prof. Tilden.
The membership OF the committee
Is designed to include representa-
tives of all governmental education
al and Industrial groups interest eu
in the advancement of education in
highway and highway transport en-
gineering.
To Train More Engineers.
The formation of the committee
last May was the first step in a
nationwide undertaking on the
part OF these groups, and it is ex-
pected to lead to better training of
larger numbers Of highway and
highway transport engineers to fill
numerous positions which will be
lvailable for them in the near fu-
ture.
The new director will take charge
Immediately of the work planned
by the committee. which includes
the compilation Of economic, sCien-
life and engineering data relative
o highway construction and high
way transport, and the distribution
OF these data to educational insti-
tutions. Because of recent devel-
0pment in the science OF road con-
struction as 1t Is now practiced. and

tomotive transport engineering
there are no up-to-date textbooks

1t is expected that Prof. Tilden's
work ultimately will lead to the
formation of a comprehensive pro-
gram of education for highway and

will insure an adequate supply OF

Goodrich Rubber Company Celebrates
Golden Anniversary Paid
Dr. Benjamin F. Goodrich, Founder

rich in a small, two-story brick
building 40 by 100 feet, which could
be placed in one of the mill rooms
of the present plant. To start with,
the concern employed twenty-five
men. This little factory of fifty
years ago has grown until today it
comprises sixty-three buildings Of
brick and steel-covering 10 acres
of land
The early struggles to finance the
industry were bitter and discourag
ing. In those days. not many per-
sons had much faith in the future
of the rubber industry and many of
the original stockholders dropped
out, fearing they would lose every
thing they had put into 1t. DR.. Good
rich's persistence and optimism.
however, finally succeeded in OBJ
tanning sufficient capital to enable
the company to start it's march to-
ward prosperity.
The first big stride in the growth
Of the Goodrich came with the pop
ualrity OF the bicycle. When the
high wheelers gave way to what
was called the safety" bicycle,
pneumatic tires were introduced
and Goodrich speedily took up their
! manufacture. Before this time,
Goodrich had taken the initial
steps in the evolution OF rubber
shod wheels by perfecting the solid
rubber tire for carriages.
First Auto Tire Crude
The success Of this carriage tire,
followed by that OF the pneumatic
tire for bicycles, naturally led to
the manufacture OF tires for auto
mobiles. The first one made was a
crude affair, with many layers OF
fabric and a very heavy tread. I'm
provements came rapidly, however,
and by the time automobiles passed
the freak" stage, a dependable tire
was being made in quantity.
AS the facilities of railways and
shipping were expanded, the world
I began to grow more rapidly. So,
when travel and transportation
over the highways were made
smoother and swifter, distance s
were shortened and it became pos
sible to extend industrial effort and
growth. At every point rubber has
helped in the expansion of the
transportation facilities of this
country.
Although the manufacture of au-
to tires was a large factor in the
latter day growth of Goodrich. they
are nevertheless only one branch OF
the organizations production. Me

Broken Panes.

Convertible models generally are
fitted with patent window anti
rattlers in the form of rubber
tipped screws which press against
the window. If these anti-rattlers
are used for the door windows the
owner should be careful not to slam
the door when the device is set. The
result of this will probably be a
broken glass. 1t is quite clear that
II the screw protudes out so far that
1t can touch the pane or Tits frame
If the door is slammed the pane will
strike the screw and break. 1t would
seem that the safest thing to do is
to turn the anti-rattler away from
the pane before the door is opened,
or remember to close the door with
out slamming 1t.
