Mrs. Ruth Crawford, central figure in the sensational poison plot case which stirred the country until the grand jury's inquriy cleared her attend ants, -is near death today at the home of her nephew, following a stroke of paralysis. Her latest illness was unexpected, for- she had been improving rapidly, according to relatives, and Dr. Sin gerland had hopes she would recover from her long illness which kept her in bed for three years. Just "before her recent stroke she was able to walk about the house. is Large assortment of Union Suits for Men, Three and Three and a half dollar values now, One and a half and One Seventy-Five. Get yours while they last. -Pitt man-Wheeler Co, Everybody's Store" Try our want ad column for best results. They always pay. An item here and there, statistics from this source and that, this leg islation and that, all tend to create a spirit of optimism and are an assur ance of better times ahead. Figures have just been released ! showing the amount of United States trade with Germany last year. The total exports of raw materials from the United States to Germany for the last fiscal year exceeded in value those of the pre-war high record year, 1914. Raw cotton was the biggest single item; in fact, the quantity of cotton sent to Germany in the biscal year just ended is greater than to any other contry in the world except to the United Kingdom. - The consumption of American cot ton last year was around ten million, two hundred thousand bales, which was the smallest year offered. Reports show that Japan is now taking practically a normal supply of American cotton and England is rapidly reaching that goal. With a crop of eight million two hundred thousand bales predicted it and with the great havoc now being wrought by the boll weave!, the outlook for cotton is encouraging. Another factor which should be considered is the bill now pending in the Senate which would provide funds for cotton credits at home, as well as for financing exports, and which also provides two hundred million dollars for loans to farmers through the Fed eral Land Banks. With all of these factors taken in to consideration, together with the small cost of producing this year's crop, it looks as if a real handsome profit would be relaized from this cotton crop. This should serve to ease conditions considerably, and if people throughout this section and the South will only continue to ope rate on the same basis they are now on, will work hard, practice economy, and attend strictly to business, the recovery from the period of depres sion should be much more rapid than has generally been expected. We see great hope of the future. The worst is undoubtedly past and the time for optimism has undoubtedly arrived. : ' L' - -- 1 L,-i3!a J' f11 6 Many Ul LnlVlLli 01! 00 HUG Oil!

ARMY GIVES CHAMPION EATER HIS DISCHARGE SUNBURY.t AU2' me army's champion eater has returned to SunbuT-y with an honorable dis charge, having eaten himself out of a job. Samuel Ding, of Hartleton, is the champion. He came back under escort of a corporal, who had orders to be sure and get him home safely. "Why, he ate the potatoes, slns and all," said the corporal. "Two loaves of bread and a half-dozen helpings of meat were his single meil capacity and he cried all night when I he couldn't have a meal at taps. That j settled it. Sam 'got his discharge."

You cannot get out of the motor anything more than you put into it via the carburetor. No amount of skill in operation will make a one-sided gasoline act like a balanced fuel.
