Gasoline and Thrift

To write about thrift in connec-
ltlon with gasoline would seem as
logical as talking about peace and
quietude of mind amid the bursting
Of shells on battlefield But there
can be thrift in the use of things
that seem luxurious, as well as
thrift in the use of things that are
necessary.
If, for instance, with the gift of
an article that is pure luxury goes
the directions for it's economical
use, it would be folly to disregard
the advice of the maker who knows
hoy the article should be used to
give the best results, irrespective of
the fact that it costs you nothing.
If out Of the millions of car own
ers of this country, small per-
,centage were to practice thrift in
the use of gasoline, the consumption
would be greatly reduced and the
cost cheapened accordingly; for the
high prices must of necessity be
traceable to the huge and Unsuitable
demand that results from the hun
dreds of thousands of cars used
daily.
When the motor car was a new
thing, gas was obtainable at a price
that would make the heart of the
present day motorist leap with joy,
and little thought given to it's econ
omy; but as it goes up and up, care
must of necessity be used if the cost
of motoring does not become prohib-
tive 1t has been stated on good au-
thority that saving of from fifty to
one hundred dollars per year per
car could be made if care were taken
in the use of gasoline.
Care of bearings, care of tires,
and clean cylinders will save the
car owner more than he knows.
Those who knows anything at all
about car will appreciate the fact
that we waste lot of fuel that does
no good.

We do not get full measure from the

Ibrings more lasting and beneficial
pleasures than any other medium

you out of doors. 1t gives you a
lchance to picnic with the family, see
the country, save time, entertain as
no other device ever can, and has its
proper place in the scheme of life.
But little study of cars and their
care and operation, thought for the
little savings that are possible, will
make what would seem to be a bur-
densome tax a real and lasting bene-
fit.
Bert Williams in one of his char
acteristic scenes in the Winter Gar
den, drives up to wayside gas sta
tion in battered motor cycle, and
asks for "ten drops of gas" and
carefully inquiries of the dealer how
far it will take him.
Eighty miles down HILL" is the
prompt reply. And that is the whole

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-12-28

Says an Albany, N. Y. letter to
the Ohio Farmer:
This week sees the beginning OF
"a series of boycotts on high-priced
foods. Eggs receive the first attack.
This is an organized fight by the
consumers, at first directed against
spectators who have forced prices
up unreasonably. Every city of the
state was asked by conference of
mayors to engage in the boycott, and
most of them have complied, only
Ithaca, Oneida, Cortland and a few
others having declined. However,
since actual operations have begun,
consumers have directed their cam
paign directly against the farmers in
cities having public markets. The
farmers feel this injustice very keen
1y, as prices they are forced to pay
for feeds and supplies have also ris-
ell far beyond the prices of the COM
modities they have to sell-and the
injustice not only outrages their
sense of fairness but cuts into their
incomes in very deplorable way.
BY the figures of a well-known up
state daily, prices Of poultry feeds
have risen 100 to 125 per cent, while
the prices of eggs is 45c to 60c per
dozen, according to color, size and
quality. This is very much the
same price that has prevailed at this

LANGUAGE REPLACES
GERMAN IN ALSACE
(By Associated Press. }

With the French Army in Alsace,
Dec. 26.-French has replaced AL
satan dialect and German as the
language in the portion of Alsace re-
stored to France as the result of
French military successes. So soon
as the blue-clad soldiers occupied the
villages and towns, German signs
were torn down from the fronts of
the stores and replaced by French.
Fingerposts along the roads were al
tered and directions at grade cross
ings over the railroad tracks were
changed. Restaurant bills of fare
were written in French instead Of
German. The titles of public of
fees were painted over and new des-
ignations put in their place. Prices
also were transformed into francs
and centimes from marks and pfen-
nigs.
Most Of the municipal officials un-
der German rule were of Prussian
origin and fed with the German
troops. The other male Inhabitants
most of them very old or very
young, as all those of military age
had been either taken into the Ger
man army or had fed into FranceL
had never had experience of local
government and were incapable of
undertaking the public utilities or
caring for the health or sanitary
condition fthe people. 1t was found
necessary to appoint French admin
istrators and these were chosen from
among officers who had been wound
ed in the war or who had fallen sick
during the campaign. In one local
lily a military mayor was nominated.
He was captain who had lost his
right arm in battle. For two years
he has carried out the functions Of
his office and so successfully that the
citizens governed by him declare
they have never been more wisely
ruled.
One of the first tasks undertaken
was to set again in motion the edu-
cational system which had been in
terrupted by the hostilities. Glasses
were formed for the children of both
sexes and these were PLACID in the
charge of sisters of religious order
which devotes itself to education.
There was some difficulty at first ow-
ing to the pupils knowing no other
Language than their local dialect
They showed such zeal, however, in
acquiring French, that within few
weeks the teachers were able to car
~ on the lessons. When Prince
Arthur of .Connaught recently visit
ed the classes he was amazed at the
change brought about in so short a
time.
French officials and the people of
Alsace themselves ascribe the readi-
ness of the Alsations to adope the
French ideas and education TO the
fact that they have in part realized
their dream of being rejoined to
France. At any rate, 1t is patent
fact that, although they are still
within sound OF the German guns,
everybody in the reconquered terri
tory at present speaks French.

The writer Of the above was present
at the Republican caucus. heard the

and reported the caucus for the Water
Vile Sentinel, emitting the resolution
from his report, obviously for partisan
purposes. ..
And this writer for the New Age and
the Waterville Sentinel knows that the
above quoted is NOT true copy OF
the resolution adopted by the Repub-
lican caucus. He knows the above
quoted resolution to be a copy Of
typographical error in the Kennebee
Journal. which has been explained, and
that such a presentation as appeared
in this weeks New Age and in two or
more issues Of the waterville Sentinel,
is falsehood, brazen and silly.
Tho New Age and Waterville Sem
tinel writer and every Democrat Of in
telligence in the city Of Augusta knows
that any such resolution as quoted

they will prove Of political advantage
The only effect Of such contemplate

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-12-09

Let US consider "clean and honest
campaign methods in a fair and hon
est way. Let us leave out the unfouno-
ed claims, the irresponsible charges,
and confine ourselves to facts. The
Journal has observed the kindliest
bearing toward the candidates Of the
opposing political party: 1t has made
no attempt to unearth and expose
the methods of Democratic politicians;
we have trusted to the common sense
and fairness Of the voters. We believe
that such blasts Of misstatement and
billinRseate as made up the first page
of this weeks New Age has injured
the chances Of the Democratic candi-
dates moro than anything we could
say.
Our endeavors will be confined to
presenting to our readers for their
careful consideration q few facts that
are plain to all We shall not attempt
to advance our own candidates by pull
ing down their opponents. For refuta-
ton Of false claims and charges let the
voters read the affidavits and state
ments Of officials now IN charge Of the
city's affairs. Because q professional
politician or a ward heller makes a
sensational charge against an admin
istration does not make the charge true
but, rather, makes 1t a subject for in
quiry. and the source is sometimes suf-
ficient to discredit It.
We believe that every claim Of the
Democratic political pretenders has
been answered by the facts and that
the facts ago backed by the city's &C
counts.
Then tho ooly serious problem for the
voters Is that Of candidates. The Re-
publican party has selected list that
should please every Republican voter.
We are sure that every Republican
voter who goes to the polls will vote
for Mr.. Swift and the men named with
him on the ticket. We know that a
considerable number Of Democrats
have announced their intention Of vot-
Ing for Mr.. Swift. because they have
long transacted business with him and
know that he is not only business
man but that he is square and
straight" every way.
Augusta wants not only square"
man in the next two years. but it
wants q business man, a man Of bust
ness judgment and experience, as well
as honesty and integrity
We need not draw comparisons or
present contrasts on the opposing tick
cts. We believe that a sufficient num-
ber Of voters who favor Mr.. Swift and
his associates on the ticket will go to
the polls next Monday and elect them.
We believe there will be votes to spare
II oil attend to their duty and vote &C.
cording to their convictions.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-12-09

The only thing necessary for Repub.

OF every Republican voter at the polls.
