These Have Memories

Still, in spite of these hard, cold
statistics, there are other trees In
the country worth considering
There are the Lindens Of Plymouth
town, brought from England by the
Pilgrims and planted as a mark Of
affection for the Old World by the
New. Then there are the elms on
the Louisa May Alcott place, the
Old Willow at Concord, near the
monument Of the Minute Men, and
the Lafayette Elm, where General
Lafayette rested on his way to meet
Washington. All of these trees
have their credited place in the
Hall of Fame.
The only alien tree in the collec-
ton was nominated by the Amen-
can Red Cross. 1t is presented a.
the tallest tree in the Balkan States.
Its further claim to fame is that it
marks the spot from which the Red
Cross dispensed relief to the citi-
zens of Podgoritza, Jugo-Slavia and
nearby towns.
The American Forestry Associs-
ton has served notice on the coun-
try in general that 1t is ready at
any time to consider nominations
for it's Hall of Fame. The tress
do the rest.

The Oberlin Elm feels that it has
earned its place in the Hall of Fame
The General Sherman Tree has
had more superlatives used in its
favor than any other tree in the
country. It is billed modestly as the
Largest and oldest living thing in
the world"
The American Forestry Associa-
ton describes it in the following
glowing terms:
cat the birth of Moses it was
probably sapling. It's exact age
cannot be determined without
counting the rings, but it is prob
ably in excess of $500 years old.
There are many thousands of trees
in the Sequoia National Park
which were growing thrifty when
Christ was born; hundreds which
were fourishing while Babylon was
in its prime; several which ante
date the Pyramids. John Muir
counted 1000 rings on one pros
trate giant. This tree had sprouted
while the Tower of Babel was still
standing.

New Fertilizer.

Urbana, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-The Uni
versity of Illinois is conducting ex-
periments at it's experiment, field at
Newton, the results Of which are
said to be marvellous, according to an
announcement here recently.
The experiments deal with soil fer
tility, drainage and crop fertility with
the use of lime and rock phosphate.
The field on which the experiments
are being made was decided to the uni
versity in 1912 and was said to be
one of the poorest pieces of land in
Jasper county. 1t is the largest soil
experiment field in southern Illinois.
Such results, the statement says,
as were made in treating Land for
growth of crops will convince the
most skeptical that there are great
possibilities in improving southern
Illinois farm lands.

Jesse Carter Should Win.

This is a day and age of propa-
gandas. The latest is a boost for
Governor Cooper, on the supreme
bench. 1t is political scheme, pure
and simple. The News and Courier
wants Harvey in the gubernatorial
chair and it figures, correcsly, that it
will be about the only way to get him
there. Not that Mr.. Harvey is not
a good man, but he is not of sufficient
rough and tumble caliber to win in
primary, for such an office. But,
will the scheme pan out? We doubt
it, and yet nobody can tell. We
plead guilty to a strong desire to see
Mr.. Carter, of Bamberg, elected, for
several reasons. We do not know
him, personally, but we have heard
nothing but the best about him. He
is self-made, learned in the law and
of high moral character. He has a
judicial mind. With all this as safe
and secure foundation, we were
charmed to see the legislature, for
once, attempt to get above and be-
yond it's own mem bership, for high
and responsible Office. In addition
to this, we can see no reason in the
world-everything being equal
why the lower part of the state
shouldn't have some show in the
sharing out of important positions.
You have a stumpy road ahead of
you, Mr.. Carter, but you deserve to
win and our best wishes are with
you.-Calhoun Times.

Battles With Snake in His Room.

George w. Paul, of 1915 Hickman
Road, this city, fought the Hun over
seas, but it remained for him to have
the most exciting battle of his life
right in his own home and in his own
bed.
Paul went to bed as usual Thurs
day night, only to awake after mid
night with the sensation of something
cold and clammy across his body.
He opened his eyes, closed them again
and tried to sleep. We was wide awake
when he felt the creeping sensation
a second time, and glancing down he
saw red-colored snake in coil across
his breast. With a motion of his body
he flung the snake from him, but the
reptile clung to his arm and wound
it's body tightly about him. A mad
fight ensued, which ended with the
snake being hurled beneath the bed.
Paul turned the light on at this
iuncture and called members of the
family to his room. The snake had
coiled about the young mans shoes
and the reptile again showed fight
when Paul, reinforced by two men,
attacked him with a broom and fire
poker.
The snake. finally killed, measured

 AUTO SMOKING

PHILADELPHIA, March 2s-There Is too much smoking in Fairmount Park. This statement does not refer to the lovers of Lady Nicotine, but to the owners of motorcars who are not as careful as they should be of the oil pressure of their cars.
 An officer of the park guards told Secretary E. B. Hogle. of the Automo- bile club of Philadelphia, recently that the weekly smoking report of the various guards mounts into the hunt dreds of cases, and that this regula- ton is fractured by more motorists than any other park rule. The guards are as lenient as possible to drivers, warning them when their cars are smoking to an offensive degree" as the official has it. but when two or three reports are turned in by guards in different sections of the park that some motorist is trying to raise a smoke screen about his car. there is little hope of escape from fine for the offender. Park guards say that motor ists should be careful of their oil pres sure when driving through the park, or if they cannot keep the offensive smoke from annoying other drivers and poisoning the park zone they should avoid the vicinity.

STEAM JAR |S
 COMING BACK

Will the steam automobile ever come back? That's a question one hears frequently in the automobile realm. and there are not a few who profess to believe steam will. propel the motor car of the future. Now come announcements of two new steam cars which may help to bring about the long -heralded revival
 George A. Coats, Indianapolis capf- taIist last week announced that he will make and market a five -passen- ger steam touring car to retail at about s1000 It will have a 110-inch wheeIbase and it's equipment will in clude electric lighting and starting. On the same chassis he proposes to build a commercial delivery wagon.
 A steam car already in a high state of perfection and the result of eight cen years of experimentation is an nounced by S. F. Crabb, vice presi- dent of the Mercury Motors Corpora iton. Pittsburg. who asserts that the new Mercury car offers advantages of economical consumption of low grade fueI-kerosene or fuel oil with the flexibility and power char aeteristic of steam
 This car, according to MT. Crabb, has boiler which is practically in destructable It steams up from a cold boiler in sixty seconds and main tains steam pressure sufficient to drive the 320o-pound car seventy miles an hour on level roads and thirty-five to forty miles up steep grades. In outward appearance the car, which has a 126-inch wheelbase. resembles the ordinary gasoline -driven car.
 The Coats car is said to offer it's most revolutionary advance in apply ing the power of the steam directly to the rear wheels. The axle, engine and differential are all contained in the rear axle gear case. The engine is claimed to be the most compact ever developed in automotive prac- tice At forty miles an hour the en- zine runs at 500 revolutions a minute. Tests are said to prove the car can go thirty to forty miles on a gallon of kerosene.
 This car weighs less than 1900 pounds, completely equipped, and has but forty moving parts. It has no carburetor, timing gears. magneto, clutch, gearshift, accelerator, propel- Ter shaft, universal joints or differen- tial. There is said to be not single gear in the power line of this car A single lever controls the speed from drifting to sixty miles an hour.

Factorys Duty Not Ended With Sale,
 Says More[dnd Go.

In accordance with its belief that the duty of a company does not cease with the delivery of its product to the cus- toner the Moreland Motor Truck com pany is rapidly Increasing it's system of service inspection to keep pace with the rapidly increasing number of it's trucks which are rolling about the coast territory
 This system now covers the entire states of California and Arizona This territory is divided and the divisions assigned to travelling inspectors who follow a schedule under which a call is made upon every owner of a More land in the territory covered once a month. They are experts, who know trucks from radiator to draw-bar and are always on call, aside from their regular trips, in case assistance or ad- vice Is needed
 It is realized fully that a truck is a business proposition and that to be cf- fective to the highest degree in it's operation it must be kept in the best of condition and constantly on the job. Ii is the duty of these inspectors to assist owners to keep their trucks nov ing with a minimum of profitless idle hours
 The latest addition to the force of inspectors is R. G. Van Houten who will cover the territory of Los Ango- les and vicinity. Mir. Van Houten as- sisted in the making of the first More land trucks ever built 10 years ago and has been constantly in the em- ploy of the company since in various capacities, more recently as manager of the Fl CenTro factory branch He has a thorough knowledge of the truck as machine, as we'll as all branches of trucking as an industry, and it !S believed his expert advice will be of much assistance to truck users.

RESTA- DE PALMA
 HOLD SPOTLIGHT

INDIANAPOLIS, March 26-Auto- mobile race crowds sure single out their heroes. It will be interesting to note the manner in which the crowd that will witness the ninth interna- tional 500 mile race to be held at the Indianapolis motor speedway. Monday, May 30, acts toward Ralph De Palma and Dario Resta, speed champion in l9I6
 Each driver has won an international race at Indianapolis and both have pushed their mounts to the pits after their cars had broken up, with victory within their reach. Their achieve ments have been parallel in many ways but the crowds have performed diff ferently for each.
 Ralph DePalma became hero in defeat at Indianapolis in 1912, with two laps to go a connecting rod on his fly ing Mercedes broke, tossed him out of the race and literally knocked the s20s- 900 purse out of his hands, DePalma jumped out oi his car and pushed 1t down the hone strech to his pit amid the cheers of the excited thousands When Joe Dawson in No. 8 whizzed past him, DePalma waved him on to victory-and kept on pushing his dis abled car-aiid smiling. Joe Dawson won the race-but Ralph DePalma was the hero of the day.
 That's that. But with Resta 1t was different. kesta and Johnny Aitken were providing the major portion of the thrills in the Hardness Trophy race at Sheepshead Bay in 1915. First Aitken would be ahead and then Resta would come storming down the stretch in the lead. The crowd was on it's feet most of the time. The race was for 100 miles. At 56 miles Aitken stopped for a tire change. Twenty seconds later he was off, but the fleeting Resta was nearly lap ahead of him.
 Aitken was soon racing at his old pace, facing the task of overtaking Resta. when the Italian was seen to slow up on the back stretch and at 50 miles he limped into his pit. A speedy change, and in less than 20 seconds he was in flight again. Aitken got four seconds lead on Resta, the next lap Resta cut it down to 2.5 seconds and 1t appeared as though 56 miles would <ee the two running radiator to radi- Ntor
 But 1t never came. Resta slowed en- tering the back stretch and his pace dwindled and dwindled. When he reached the third turn he stopped. A broken crankshaft had put him out of the race. Resta and his mechanic va liantly pushed the silenced race car nearly half way around the course to the grandstand but the thousands of spectators did not even greet the heroic gladiator and splendid sportsman with e faint cheer

AUTO MAKERS NOW
 BUYING PIG IRON

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 2e.- There is quite a little optimism ap- parent in the pig iron market this week. In the East, especially in the New York territory, the revival in business continues to spread and some foundries are receiving sufficient new business to allow them to run full time. This condition is manifested in an in creased demand for spot shipment pig iron As an illustration, an order was just placed for 500 tons of iron for inn mediate shipment and when placing the order the buyer stated that he would make further purchases within the next two or three weeks.
 It Is especially encouraging to real ize that a revival in the automobile industry is apparent. Several well known manufacturers of passenger cars in Michigan have resumed opera tions Some are back to 50 per cent of their normal output. The cars have been sold and are being shipped out as made This allows the foundrymen to liquidate stocks of castings which have been held in storage many months and in turn affords them the opportunity to specify more liberally for shipments against their contracts for pig iron and coke
 Thus depleted stocks ot the foundry yards will be replenished and the blast furnaces will be given some relief from the heavy burdens they are carrying for the benefit of their customers. While a great many districts have felt little improvement as yet, it is en- couraging to note that week by week optimism and actual resumption of business Is broadening and 1t is to be hoped that within the next 50 days the country will be on a profitable business basis

 BANK REVIEW

DETROIT. March 26.-(SpeciaD- Reports from the various automobile ia actories indicate that at last the top of the grade has been reached, and that the going for the next few months seems destined to be great deal easier on the entire industry.
 The March Business Review of the Cleveland Federal Reserve bank states that a decided improvement has been noted in the farming sections, where buying has commenced on healthy scale.
 Passenger car manufacturers report a gradual increase in domestic busf- ness" says the report, and while busi- ness is still limited, there is consider able buying in all parts of the coun- try" "
 The review states that a marked re- oival in automobile buying is being felt This is not assigned by the man. ufacturers to the usual spring demand. but rather to an accumulated demand on the part of the public released by the conviction that automobile prices are not coming down further.
 Buick reports from its distributors throughout the country indicate that buying is resumfng it's normal tempera- ture slowly but surely. The Lincoln Motor company has doubled it's forces and production, Haynes has added 150 men to it's payroll at Kokomo. and velie reports insufficient material available to fill its production schedule.
