TRAMERS CONSERVE RUBBER

The entire country is aware of
the fact that every pound of rubber
must be utilized to its maximum eff
ficiency. At the same time high
way transportation must go ON.
President Roosevelt, Donald Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
Beard, General Somervell, War De-
partment Service of Supply, Joseph
b. Eastman of the Office of Defense
Transportation have all stressed
the Importance of highway trans
portation in connection with the
war effort. Much of the economic
life of the nation depends on pro-
ducts transported over the roads.
These vehicles travel on rubber;
consequently 1t is necessary to
scrutinize carefully how they are
employing this precious product.
Harvey C. Freuhauf recently dis
closed some interesting facts re-
garding the value of the truck and
trailer combination as a conserVer
of not only rubber but also steel.
He states:
"A truck and trailer combination
with load capacity of IL tons
more than twice that transported
on even the heavier trucks-re-
quires 1880 pounds of tires.
"The two trucks required to Sc
cure the same load capacity require
1416 pounds of tires. In other
words the truck and trailer combi-
nation saves 1875 per cent in tires.
The truck-trailer combination
would take ten 900 x 20 tires. The
two trucks would take twelve 900
x 20 tires.
"Correspondingly the weight of
the empty truck and trailer COM
bination less tires is 12,417 pounds,
while the weight of the two trucks
empty less tires is 1888 pounds.
For the same load capacity the
truck and trailer saves 25.3 per
cent in steel and other essential
metals.
professional haulers know this.
For them it means lower costs with
bigger pay-loads so far that reason
more than 80 per cent of the inter-
state truck freight is transported
by trailer in this country. 1t is in
esterting to know this when you see
one of these big truck and trailer
combinations on the highway trans
porting goods for Uncle Sam or for
Mr.. and Mrs. America. Here is a |
form of transportation which ac-
tually is conserving the materials |
so vital to the winning of this war"

GARDEN LETTER LISTS
TIMELY PLANTING FACTS

Hundreds of Delaware families
are looking over Home Food Pro-
duction Letter No. these days.
This letter is the second in a series
of information letters prepared by
E. P. Brasher, truck crop specialist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, and distributed by
the county agricultural Extension
agents. 1t contains a wealth of
timely information on gardening
and home food production that Del
aware families may find useful in
producing their part of the victory
food this nation needs.
Gardeners are advised that now
is the time to make successive
paintings of some of the vegetable
crops that have already been plant
ed such as spinach, carrots, lettuce,
radishes, mustard and beets.
The letter points out that vege-
table crops require a shallow cul-
tivation under most conditions.
This is especially true when the
root systems have become fairly
we'll established. Cultivation should
be practiced mainly for weed con-
troll. Deep cultivation destroys
many roots and prevents the plants
from getting the full benefit from
the nutrients and moisture in the
first few inches of soil.
other sections of the letter con-
tain suggestions on potatoes, plant
starter solutions and application
of fertilizer as a sidedressing.
Gardeners desiring this letter
may obtain copies from their coun-
ty agricultural Extension office.
The University Of Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service will be
glad to add to its mailing list
names of interested gardeners not
already listed to receive letters No.
8 and No. 4 as soon as they are
published.

deductions for bonds over the top.
He said to General Motors: The
goal you have all set for yourselves
is indicative of the results which
can be attained when employees
and employers work as one mind
toward the interests of our couI-
try" Mr., ,Morgenthau stated fur.
ther that the success of the pre-
liminary experiment showed very
clearly that the "employes want to
hold an investment in our war ef-
fort, and have confidence that
their goal of 100 per cent partici-
patton each month throughout the
war will be maintained to help
meet the increased demands of our
gigantic war machine which re-
quire we raise a billion dollars
each month"
The Treasury takes the position
that the financial support of the
citizenry is definitely behind the
voluntary pay roll plan. In that
case you don't have to buy bonds
but you probably will agree with
the head of the Treasury and want
to hold an investment in our war
effort"
The latest news reports received
in Washington indicate that sew
eral thousand firms are participat-
ing in the voluntary pay roll for
investments in war bonds. Post
offices and banks all over the
country are adding additional tes-
timony to the news that the Treas
ury is backed by the American
people.

If they would there pick up the trail. Should
they do this at Bills house, it would at least
warrant suspicion if the dreaded canine
finger" was placed on him.
BY getting the hounds himself. making
friends with them on the way over, anything
they might do would be confused by that fact
and, even if they identified him. it would
seem meaningless Why he let this golden
opportunity pass has not been revealed.
Next morning the sheriff called on Bill,
finding him in bed, but with his clothes on and
julius Goforth sitting beside him on the floor.
Sheriff Briggs informed the men that he
had just arrested Lawrence and Floyd Bree-
den, two young men in their early twenties
and cousins of the Headdens' 1t is not hard
to understand why they tried to decline the
sheriffs invitation to come with him to the
Jail and listen to the questioning. But, when
the sheriff insisted, they could hardly refuse.
Perhaps, quite as he had feared upon
arrival at the Jail, Bill found himself under
arrest, charged with murder. The grand jury
handed up three indictments against Bill and
the case went to trial in the December term
of the Circuit Court.
The first witness was Jack who knew
that what he said was part Of the case i'm
tended to put his own brother in the electric
chair
In a husky voice he testified to what has
already been told, adding little more than the
fact that he had left on the morning of the
crime in car with Julius Goforth and Tommy
Dalton, who took him to work on the site of
the Ocoee dam project. AS they drove away
Bill had been standing about 25 good steps
from the house" -
The sheriff testified to finding one of Bills
two guns on him at the time of the arrest,
and ballistic expert from the b. b. L. identi-
fled various bullets found in the bodies and
the house as having been fired from Bills
two guns.
The ex-constable, placed the stand in
his own defense by his attorneys, r. Webb
and Charles c. Guiin fatty denied any knowl-
edge Of the crime and stated that from shortly
after his brother had left he had been in his
own home. His wife backed him up in this
alibi.
The star witness who shattered the ab
was julius Goforth known as Bits best
friend. He testified that about p. m. Bill
had invited him to go for a ride and had taken

little piece and turned around and came back
again and stopped the in front of the
JACK Headden home, saying he was going
back to put the light out. Bill went in and
saw the light go out Then Bill came back,
got into the car and we left again"
The witness said that at this point Bill
remarked, Jack will find them when he comes
In. If you tell this me, IT will ruin me ."
He did not ask, nor did Bill tell him how
many he had killed, but said that they went
back to Bills house and to bed where later
they were found supposedly sleeping
julius explained that he had turned States
evidence because, friend no friend he had
been revolted by a man who could kill two
detenseless women and a baby.
Attorney General r. Beecher Witt de-
manded the death penalty in spite OF strong
arguments by defense attorneys that the
charge was fantastic preposterous and with
out reasonable motive as far as their client
was concerned Spectators and apparently
the jury agreed with this senselessness of the
motive, yet, nevertheless the jury and court
room were generally convinced that he did il
just the same
Bill Headden heard the verdict of guilty
returned with only a short delay, and showed
no sign OF emotion. In the same manner he
heard Justice Quinn pronounce the extreme
penalty and set January as the month for its
execution. The sentence was automatically
stayed by appeal for a new trial filed by
defense counsel
The conviction was for the murder of Mrs
Lecia Headden only. The other two indict-
ments for the deaths Of Mrs. Glowan and her
son are still pending but will not be tried
unless new trial shall clear Bill of the STAY
ing Of his sister-in-law
Unless Bill Headdon sees fit to make full
confession, no man will ever know for sure
what really made him commit the worst of
all crimes for such trivial motive. At pres
ent the best guess is that after Jack left Bill
had argument with his sister-in-law about
her habits in general and of sitting up late
in particular.
Bill, as constable, used to be regarded
pretty much as 1.-The law" in that immediate
vicinity and what he said usually went But
now he was only brother-in-law and Lecia
was just the person to tell him where he
got off"
If So it was probably the first time anyone
had flouted him like that. 1t may have
ranked until he felt obliged to return and
just make her obey.
Defied again, the only possible explana-
ton is that he lost his temper and shot her.
One crime easily leads to another and may
well have reminded him that he must also
get rid Of the witness Mrs Glowan.
But il is hard for normal mind to invent
a reason for his shooting and clubbing to
death two-year-old baby whose testimony
would have been worthless against him in
court.
