GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY MINOR IMPROVEMENTS IN AUTOMOBILES AS POPULAR AS BIG ONES Salesmen have learned through ex- perience, according to C. M. McDon- ald, Lexington motor car dealer, that the devices intended to eliminate this or that minor trouble or incon- venience are almost as much ap- preciated by the average buyer as the larger and more expensive im- provements. . "These little refinements help in th sale of many cars," he said. "Any- thing tending to make the automo- bile tool-proof, or tending to reduce the labor of caring for the «car, There are oilless bushings, used wherever the construction makes them possible on the Lexington car. Once installed they need no further ~tienticn. They eliminate squeaks and rattles and save hours of tedious work for owners of the Lexington car. There is the non-metallic universal joint, which requires no lubrication; the "cne-finger" hrake, which is what the r.ame indicates. It takes the pres- sure of only a single finger to oper- ate it. To give additional comfort, the up- holstering on the Lexington has been made a little deeper. These are on- ly some of the more striking im- provements that have been made A touch is added here and an-; other there until it would seem there is nothing that can be added. Lex- ington engineers, who during the war devoted much of their time to de- veloping and experimenting, are al- ways adding additional touches to what already seems to be a perfect creation as far as automobiles are concerned. COLONEL SANBORN ISSUES INFANTRY RECORD VOLUME The official history of the 13Ist in- fantry and its record in the world war was issued Monday by its com- mander and chronicler, Col. J. B. Sanborn. The book consists of 723 pages and contains the roster of every officer and man who served with the regiment, together with a list of those decorated for merit and bravery. The supplementary port- folio which is attached to the volume contains an interesting collection of maps and photographs. The maps are reproductions of offi- cial American, British and French drawings and show the operations of modern military science. The book is not intended for popu- lar distribution, but to serve as a memory book and reference for the men of the regiment. NEW YORK"S FIRST RAILROAD The first railroad in New York state and one of the first passenger rail- roads in the United States was con- structed of wooden rail from Albany to Schenectady, a distance of 17 miles, in 1831. Ten years later the Erie railroad was opened from Pier- pont to Goshen. BEAN PRODUCTION Bean acreage in the five principal producing States--New York, Mich- igan, Colorado, New Mexico, and California-- increased enormously in this country in 1917 and 1918 in ac- cordance with war-food propaganda, to 1,800,000 acres in 1917 and over 1,- 700,000 in 1918. The previous acreage had been 875,000 acres in 1914, 928,000 in 1916. Now there is a disposition to recede from these high areas and for 1919 the bean acreage of these five states, estimated by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, is 1,090,000 acres. HONEY CROP IMPROVED Honey bees and honey plants were in better condition on September 1, this year, than in the same month in the preceding two years. The Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Dgpartment of Agriculture, reports an average yield of 42.6 pounds of surplus honey per colony (spring count) to September 1; the average for 1918 was 37 pounds; for 1917, 35.9 pounds; and for 1916, 46.1 pounds.
