P. ^c*|e Master, Dairy Husbandman of the ^ Extension Service, which is helping to promote the affair. The event is^ being planned cooperatively by the Piedmont Fair Association and the various Jersey Bull Associations of * the Piedmont section.

Doubt-' less others will also be entered. The ^ Piedmont Fair Association has recently completed an excellent $700 e barn for this exhibit, and every ef- v fort is being made to put on the biggest show of its kind in the South. It will be, so far as is known, the first inter-association show ever staged in the United States. Mr. E. F.

At present it is estimated that the consumption of gasoline by motors is 84,000,000 barrels a year. The total consumption for all purposes is about 91,000,000 barrels. Production of crude petroleum is believed to be at its peak with an annual production of 400,000,000 barrels. But 100,000,000 barrels of gasoline can be produced from this total, leaving but y,UUU,UUU lor export aemartds.

If the drivers of all passenger cars and motor trucks were careful to coast up to stops, on down grades, had carburetors properly adjusted, did not race their motors when starting and did not let run idle, 8000,000000 gallons of gasoline could be saved annually. At an average price of 25 cents a gallon, the total saving in money would amount to $200,000, :OTTON MILLS RUN K NO MORE IN RUSSIA ndustry Has Gone to Piece* Under Bolshevism. , IV London, Oct. 16.?Russia's grvat >re-war cotton industi'y"- has suffered to such an extent during the revoution that it is doubtful whether nany of the mills ever will be able ! o c operate agai ? says Sir /Charles ^ tfacara, an English authority in the ^ world's cotton trade, in an interview ^ n the Yorkshire Post. \ Based upon information obtained rom an Englishman who recently re-i 1 -r ^ uiiicru iiuiu xvudo ay ? hcl j iui j.i . cars he was the manager of a large , tton factory a^r Moscow, Sir 'tarles estimates thai of the 9,000,- U 00 spindles running i.; Russia before ' he revolution not more than 200,000 r 300,000 are now operating. ! ? The experience of 'the English manager of the Moscow factory were ? old as an example of the methods n C1 mployed by revolutionists in dealing ^ nth one of Russia's great industrial ssets, the textile factories in the ^ loscow district. This particular mill arried on all the processes from cot- ^ on spinning to the finished product, S1 7,000 workers having been employd under normal operating conditions 111 When the Bolsheviki assumed pow- 2 r the whole cotton industry was na- ^ ionalized. At every mill committees hl re re formed and finally, in October SI 919, a decree was issued that all rho had been connected with the1' ormer owners would have to leave.) Vith the experts gone, the mill stop-jni ed. After a time attempts were tl lade to re-start it, but it was al- cl io$t impossible to obtain raw cotton bi mall quantities were obtained, bi rhich after being diluted with 75. ts er cent waste, was put through the a< rocesses. ict The machinery now is in a very hj ad state, in such a state, in fact m lat it would be almost impossible to} perate the factory properly, ac- A oVding to the information given Sir Sharles. Whenever machines are'amaged, other machines are denud-j d qf parts to repair them. J Sir Charles stated that there was ? | w ttle possibility of English work-|c< ten going to Russia for employment; 1 textile factories. Mills in Ger-!^1 I pi lany and Austria were turning out nly from 25 to -30 per cent, of the I ?J ormal production, he said, and Eng- , wC sh workers faced the almost impos- __ ble task of making up for the four S" nd a half years' stoppage of texle manufacture owing to the war. h Up to January 1, 1919, Germany M ad 47,637 airplanes in war. Reoiks show that 1,072,957 bombs ] rere dropped by these machines. m The famous French war decora- hi ion, the Croix de Guerre, was in- m tituted as a medal for the world tc rat only. \ Did own __ We have a pla %mi% : your re We have a numbe . * -?Com L.
