MOTOR TRUCK TEST SHOWS SAVING IN TIME AND MONEY Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 21. —A saving of $2.89 per man and at least Three hours in time over special train service in the transportation of 18 in fantry soldiers and their full marching equipment by motor truck from Ft. McPherson, near Atlanta, and to Ft. Oglethorpe, near Chattanooga, over rhe Dixie Highway, was made in the military motor truck test between the two camps, Tuesday, October 39th, ac cording to data compiled by officers of the Quartermaster’s Department of the United States Army which have just been made available. The distance of 135 miles via Rome, Georgia, was cov ered by the White truck on which had been mounted a special mody designed by Lieut. Col. H. J. GaiHagher, Depot Quartermaster at Atlanta, in five hours and thirty-two minutes, averaging 24 miles an hour, and the distance of 125.7 miles via the Dalton route be tween the two encampments was cov ered in five hours and one minute at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Six two-ton freight trucks loaded with clothing and hardware consigned to Major A. L. Bump, Quartermaster ar Ft. Oglthorpe, made the trip on the same date over both routes of the Dixie Highway between the Quarter master's Warehouse in Atlanta and the warehouse of the Post Quartermas ter at Ft. Oglethorpe. The first truck to arrive at the Lytle Warehouse at Ft. Oglethorpe over the Dalton route made the distance of 117 miles in eight hours and seven minutes running time, and the first truck to arrive traveling the Rome route covered the distance of 135 miles between the two points in eight hours and thirty minutes. All of the trucks entered made the trip in less than twelve hours. While the data on the comparison of the cost of making the shipment <by Iruck w ith that of the railroad has not been com pleted, the saving in time over freight shipments owing to the fact that the trucks were able to deliver their load at the point wanted without delays in cident to rehandling and switching, the time saved is variously estimated from 12 to 36 hours. It is believed that the figures on the cost will show a saving in favor of the highway and the motor truck. , While the military motor truck tost was inaugurated by the Dixie High way Association with the co-operation of the Chattanooga Automobile Club and the Georgia State Automobile As sociation and the Atlanta Automobile Club for the purpose of making a prac tical demonstration of the need of con struction of the Dixie Highway for mil itary purposes, the military authorities of Atlanta and Ft. Oglethorpe were in active charge of the test. The military supplies were furnished through the co-operation of Lieut. Col. Gallagher, depot quartermaster, and his assistant, Lieut. Col. R. B. Powers, and the test was In charge of Major A, L Bump of Ft. Oglethorpe. Major Bump detailed Sergeant O. M. Thomas, who holds the record ro long service in tho transportatiom department of the army, to be in immediately charge of the trucks. Col. Abner Pickering, commanding Ft. Oglethorpe, detailed a regimental supply sergeant from the various regiments at Ft. Oglethorpe to be in charge of each of the six truck's and keep an accurate record of the trip. Col. T. A. Scarce, of Camp Gordon, Atlanta, was specially detailed by the War Department to observe the test and its results and make an exhaustive report to the Government. Among the military observers were Colonel Pick ering, Major Bump, Major Gordon Catts, assistant senior instructor of the Officers’ Reserve Training Camp, Cap aiu A. T. Dalton, Construction Quar termaster Ft. Oglethorpe, Captain Hodges, of the Quartermasters’ De;iart n.ent, Lieut.

Nov 2C. —Give the public a clear understanding of the nec essity for War Camp Community Ser vice—what it means to every enlisted man, and the $4,000,090 quota which we are seeking would be over-sub scribed in a day, declares .John N, Willys, chairman of the National Com mittee of the War Camp Community Service. “Because there are so many move ments on now for the benefit of the soldier and sailor, it was not the most easy thing in the world for us to ac quaint the public thoroughly with our object,” continued Mr. Willys. “At first we were continually being asked, why we should undertake this work when other organizations were already covering the same field. "Asa matter of fact, the reason we took up War Camp Community Service was that it appeared to be a most vital field of endeavor which had been en tirely overlooked, as far as concerted effort toward improving community conditions were concerned. l T p to this have not gone outside the camps and time, many fraternal and other organ izations have done splendid work in improving camp conditions, but they Lave not gone outside the camps and posts. “The enlisted man is bound to go outside his camp or post, whenever the opportunity affords itself. He goes to the neighboring community seeking rest and recreation and that is when we want to be with him and protect him from evil influences. We do not want to accompany him in the guise of a policeman, a detective, a moral in structor or anything of that nature. We simply aim to surround him with an environment in communities adja cent to the camps and posts which will be so conducive toward clean living, mentally and physically, that evil temptation will almost be practically eliminated. ‘‘That environment will consist of home hospitality, club houses, swim ming pools, outdoor and indoor athlet ics, professional and amateur theatri cal entertainments and such other forms of amusement and recreation that appeal to young red-blooded soldiers. “We can provide our fighting men with those advantages only if the pub lit. will contribute the funds, which for one year amount to $4,900,000. In other word’s, $3 for each soldier and sailor will do the work. “That the plans of War Camp Com munity Service advocates are most feasible is evidenced in the way prom inent public men and military officers have endorsed them. Not only Sec retary Baker and Secretary Daniels are lending active support to the work, but such men as Col. Roosevelt, M.aj. Gen. Leonard Wood and others equally well known are back of us in the work. “The War Department and Navy De partment Commissions on Training Camp Activities will supervise the ex penditure of the funds when they have been collected. ‘‘The keynote of our instructions to our representatives in the various cities and towns of the country during the ‘big drive’ this week is: Make clear to the public what War Camp Community Service means and the fund will be forthcoming. The Ameri can civilian public is too loyal to its country and too fond of its fighting men to forget either in the hour of peril. BUREAU OF WAR RISK INSURANCE To .the Officers and Enlisted Men and Women of the Army and Navy of the United Slates and Their Rel atives: - The Secretary -of the Treasury, through the Bureau of War Risk In surance, has been charged with the ad ministration of the War Insurance 1-au enacted by the Congress as a measure o‘ justice to the men and women who have been called to give their lives, if need be, in the service of their coun try . I wish to acquaint you with the beue f.ts and privileges which your Gov ernment has placed at your disposal, it is essential that you and your fam ilies at home should know of your and their rights under this law in order that full advantage may be taken of them. To care for the wife and cihldren of the enlisted man during his service, the War Insurance Law compels him to contribute up. to one-half of his pay for their support. The Government, on application, will generously add to this an allowance of from $5 to SSO a month, according the.the size of the i family. Moreover, if the enlisted man ! will make some further provision him- j self for a dependent parent, brother, j si>, r, or grandchild, they may be In* j eluded in the Government allowance, j If, as a result of injuries incurred or ! disease contracted in the line of duty, | :.n officer or enlisted man or an Army ; i N'avv nurse should be disabled, pro vision is made for comimns-aiion of •ii •, - 1 tU a i.Q UlUl, -Sim, THE EARTOW TRIBUNE.THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS. NOV 29, 1917. should he die, compensation of from S2O to $75 a month will be paid to his wife, cr child, or his widower! mother. In order, however, fully to protect each person and family, Congress has made it possible for every soldier, sailor, and nurse to obtain life and total-disability insurance. This insur ance applies to injuries received while he or she is in the service cr after he or she shall have left it. Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private life insurance companies prohibitive. It was. therefore, a plain duty and obligation for the Govern ment to assume the risk of insuring hundreds of thousands cf our soldier.-: ard sailors who are making the su preme sacrifice. Under this law, evety soldier and sailor and nurse, com missioned and enlisted, and of any age, has the right, between now and February 12, 1918, to take out life and total-disability insurance up to SIO,OOO at very low cost, with the Government without medical examination. This right is purely optional. The soldiers and sailors are not compelled to take insurance, but if they desire to exer cise the right, they must do so before the 12th of February, 1918. The cost ranges front 65 cents monthly, at the age of 21, to $1.20 monthly, at the age of 51, for each SI,OOO of insurance. This is a small charge on a man’s pay, small in proportion to the benefits it may bring. The premiums will be de ducted from his pay, if he desires, thus eliminating trouble on his part. To provide adequate protection until February 12, 1918, during the period when the soldiers and sailors are learn ing the details of this law, the Gov ernment automatically insures each man and woman, commissioned or en listed in the military service of the United States. It pays the man $25 a month during total permanent disabil ity; if he dies within 20 years, it pays the rest of 240 monthly installments of $25 each to his wife, child, or widowed mother. I desire to call the provisions of this just and generous law to the attention or' our officers and enlisted men and women so that they may not be de prived of their rights- through lack of knowledge. Full information may be obtained from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the Treasury Department, Washington, D. C. I earnestly urge that the officers of the . Army and Navy give to the men under their com mand all possible aid in helping them to understand fully the benefits that this insurance may bring to their famil ies and the small cost at which it may be obtained. This is the greatest measure of pro tection ever offered to its fighting forces by any nation in ;he history of the world. It is not charity; it is sim ply justice to the enlisted men and women and to their loved ones at home, and each and every one of them should promptly take the benefits of tliis great law. W. G. McADOO, Secretary of Treasury. VALUE OF VELVET BEAN 3. Convinced beyond all question that there isjwore value in velvet bean’s than some Georgia farmers are getting for them, Director Lem B. Jackson, of the State Bureau of Markets, has is sued the following statement on the value of velvet beans based upon the present cost per urrit of commercial It rtillzersj "In view of the fact that there is some confusion as to the proper money value to l;e placed upon velvet beans, the Bureau feels that it would be well lor the farmers of Georgia to know the exact commercial value of velvet beans iii ilie pod, figured strictly as a fer tilizer and with no reference to their feeding value. The fertilizer eoniisniies are selling their product to the farmer on the fol lowing basis: “Phosphoric Acid. SI.OO p t r unit; Ammonia, $6.00 per unit; Potash, $6.00 tier unit. “Velvet Beans in the pod, by ehemi. c-a analysis, show the following: “Phosphoric Acid. 0.72; Ammonia, .1.38; Potash, 1.39. "These figures show that Velvet Beans in the pod, plowed under, have a money value o $29.22 tier ton. “This Bureau is not advising that velvet beans be used as a ferilizer, but has been stressing the fact that beans fed to meat, will yield the best financial returns. Nevertheless the actual fertilizer value, shown in the foregoing figures, should be kept In mind when considering the'r money value.’’ Cold, tain, wind., and dampneaa briny out the rheumatic aches.

There is no need for any serious alarm on the part of Georgia farmers over the apparent attempted bear raid on cotton, declares Commissioner J, J. Brown of the State Department cf Agriculture. There isn’t a pound more cotton in sight than there was a month ago, and the department re gards the attempt to create a scare over the recent published announce ment that there are practically no vessels available for carrying cotton to England, as an absurd bear effort to depress the price below the actual worth of the staple. ‘‘lt is my advice to the farmers of Georgia to hold their cotton and to continue to hold it against any de clining market,” said Commissioner Brown. “Our Georgia farmers are better able than ever before in their history to hold the cotton they have made. We know the world has got to have it, and that sooner or later it will take it, England included. “My opinion has not changed one iota with regard to the value of this crop. I believe it is worth 30 oents a pound, and that before very long you will see it at that figure. Every statement we have made about this situation, has been borne out by de velopments, and those who hold their cotton now, I am confident, will cer tainly congratulate themselves that they did so.” A few high class pigs for sale.
