EGENBERGER UNCLE SAM WANTS LARGE NUMBERS OF MECHANICS AMERICA'S AIR FLEET NEEDS ARMY OF MOTOR MECHANICS BEHIND THE LINES. Jan. 2S. IThat America's air fleet is about to have exciting adventures is evidenced by the announcement that the aviation corps is in urgent need of 194 chauffeurs and motor truck drivers, 3.5C2 auto and gas engine men, 1 ,3C0 machinists, 220 blacksmith forgers, 220 wheelwrights, 504 cabinet mak ers, 4 GO sheet-metal workers and other to a total of 7,000 for service in France behind the lines.

SHORT HAUL IS AUTO'S NATURAL FUNCTION TODAY "President Wilson's message to congress, setting forth his reasons for mobilizing the railroads under government control iuferentially im poses upon automobile users and manufacturers the need to co-operate voluntarily with the spirit of the message of mobilizing the automobile through individual initiative," said J. N. Gunn, president of the United States Tire company. "Several weeks ago Colonel Sam uel P. Colt, president of the United States Rubber company, in an inter view, urged automobile owners of both passengers and commercial cars to use their cars more and more to relieve the transportation pressure on the nation's railroads and mer chants' delivery service. Other lead ers in the country's business, not alone those in the automobile in dustry, have since urged that this ad vice be followed. It has met with unanimous approval. "The natural function of the automobile both passenger and com mercial, is the transportation of man and merchandise for short hauls. If this is realized, a tremendous amount of railroad mileage may be diverted from short hauls to long hauls, and just that much pressure on the lail roads transportation facilities ' re lieved."

Mrs. Lizzie Tyles, Henderson. Ky., writes: "My daugh ter ha dlagrippe fo rthree weeks. I gave her Foley's Honey and Tar and now she is all right." Sold every where. .

R.YOUNG, Auctioneer JACK PATTERSON, Clerk FEWER TRAINS LEAD TO MORE FAST AUTOS WITH SPLENDID ROADS AND DE PENDABLE CAES AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN SUFFER BUT LITTLE INCONVENIENCE. One of the chief reasons for the rapid adoption of the automobile was the inadequacy of the horse. Now that there is inadequate rail transportation, because of the war conditions, an even wider field op eration is offered to the passenger motor car. The decision cf the government to cut off drawing room cars from rail road trains, and even to discontinue many passenger trains that are not considered strictly necessary ordi narily would most inconvenience the man of affairs. Yet the man with a high-powered, safe, swift passenger motor car certainly need not be in convenienced. . Splendid roads connect New York with the large number of large cities nearby from 25 to 200 miles and the individual transportation service to be had by means of the motor car can be made an actual means of saving time. The same is true of many other cities. Witlr the capable, thoroughly de pendable motor car the business man may leave as early or as late as he pleases, need not be delayed by the various things than so often make railroad trains late, and after he has reached his destination, he has the use of his own car while in town. The American does not waste time in providing substitutes for conveni ences or necessities that may be taken from him. And it is entirely likely that much greater use will be made of the highways for general passenger transportation needs in moderate between-citv traffic. HOGS GO HIGH. From "VVptlnescIn v's Daily.
