Prospects of renewed American prosperity on a greater basis than ever before are being described to returned soldiers at one of the principal debarkation ports of the country by John E. Lathrop, representing the Information and Education Service of the Department of Labor. In mass meetings at which he addresses large numbers of men, Mr. Lathrop is explaining the tacts which assure future properity, and is giving the men the latest available information regarding employment and' other opportunities. The men are generally optimistic, Mr. Lathrop finds. “But they do want and need information when they come Lack and land here or at any port,” he says. "They' have had almost no news. All that has happened while they were abroad is news to them. They eat up’ whatever one tells them, and before audiences and in hundreds of personal conversations one has opportunity to help them get an idea of the situation. - ’ Mr. Lathrop shows the men how nonessential articles were dispensed with during the war and how the stocks of those articles were drawn upon until in may i nstances they were completely used up. The necessity for making up those supplies and for manufacturing the articles needed urgently now for peace-time industry, notably building materials and materials needed for construction of public works, is operating toward a revival of busi ness, which is expected to be going full speed ahead within six months. The great growth of the American merchant marine, Mr. Lathrop points out as another factor encouraging the resumption of business on a large scale. Before the war only 10 of every 100 ships clearing from American ports flew the United States flag; now 46 are American owned and registered. “Europe will be buying immensely for years and years, and wants vast quantities right now,” Mr, Lathrop claims. “The railroads must get to work immediately on terminal improvements, the laying of new tracks, the betterment of the rights of way, and the repair of cars and locomotives. Some experts say the United States must begin immediately the erection of structures to cost a total of |5,000,000,01)0. "Railroad experts tell us we will have to build thous ands of miles of new highways, besides doing a lot of repair work on those that have more or less gone to pieces during the war. A little patience is necessary right now while this big program is being prepared. But the process is already well along and is gaining mo mentum every day.’’ A NEW I SE FOR OLD PAPERS. A resourceful motorist whose car has been stuck in the mud does not always have to fall back on a pair of mules to get free. For such an emergency the United States Tire Com pany offers some suggestions that have proved val uable. The first calls for having stored away somewhere in the car a stack of old newspapers. When the car gets stuck and the wheels refuse to take hold, feed in ■some of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Usually only a few will have to be worked in before the wheels will begin to grip and the car start forward. This method of handling a difficult situation is so simple and so uniformly successful, that every motorist should know of it aMirCarry a pile of old newspapers, unless he is some other apparatus for such a contingency. Here is the other method suggested by the same company: Put the car in low, and if you cannot feed the gas with your foot evenly, so that the wheels will re volve slowly, but your emergency brake on. Do not [ put it on so that the wheels will not revolve at all, but tightly enough to keep them from revolving rapidly. With the wheels turning slowly, the maximum pull is delivered to them by having the car in low gear, and so long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous power. It is not always wise to fill the hole with stones or bricks, for their rough edges are hard on tires. Small branches of trees are better, as they offer much better • tractive space. Should this method fail, quite often a ' slight push that would not much more than move a baby buggy will furnish just the added amount of power neces sary- to get the car going.

''■hen his friends in the church of h:s choice gainer Sunda ynight to pay tribute to their brother, J. A. Lit john, none of them will be able to say anything more ’ fitting than that according to his means, he invested as much in the industrial and moral development of his community as any other man here. This was the tribute > of his pastor, a sort of first impress’ m. that came with the profound shock that always accompanies news of the] death of a good man. it was a simple truth, plainly put but how it speaks for the man’s years of toil and struggle! How it blooms ever fragrant with the pure and ennobling uplift one gets from knowing "Uncle Joe” Littlejohn was a good man. Mhile he was with us, everybody looked upon him and passed him every day with no thought of anything ■ , but that he was just an average man. He could smile, i enjoy a joke and pass the time pleasantly down to his last moment. He was obliging, kind, considerate, faith ful to the charge of the public, saying naught of others,! and indeed few people knew that he had enemies. He did not complain of their treatment, nor did he fret when they aimed at him the meanness that mankind is heir to. He was a wise man in his mature years,—wiser ■ than the man of the every day world ever thought. He ' 1 read and gave thought to what he read. For-that habit he enjoyed the distinction of being well abreast of the times. His opinion was worth something to the young man he saw making an honest effort. And that custom ' makes the young man who was fortunate enough to be within the range of his friendships carry a burden of ' sorrow now that he is gone. He left with us, too, a sort of impression somehow that he knew in his older days his time was near, and yet accepted it with a gracious sort of philosophy,— ' more than that, an unshaken faith in his Creator as re vealed in the Christian religion. He must have been happy in the days when he knew he would soon be cross ing the bar.” We cannot believe that he did not And i things he could wish were better. He would not have been a good man, had that not been the case, but one felt in thinking of him that he enjoyed close communion with his Maker. He will be missed long years to come, but he so lived that the blessed thought ever remains; his will be the just reward of a good man.—Cordele Dispatch. -.A. _.. .in, . 4«— . ._. ..
