MAXWELL ECONOMY
RUNS BEGIN HERE
DIR. Hills Car Did Not Do
So Well in the Fest
Yesterday.

The first run of the national econ
omy test being made by the Maxwell
Motor Car company was made under
the auspices of the Hall Garage COM
pany Yesterday. DR.. o. c. Hill, who
made the unusual record CT 81 miles on
one gallon of gasoline in the May con-
test was the first of the dozen or more
entrants to maze the trial. He sue
ceeded in turning only 29.5 miles, a
shortage that is explained by David
Dean, one of the observers who went
the route, as being due to the hot, dry
atmosphere, The time Consumed was
hour 81 minutes.
The route started from the city
building, and led out Fairmont, past
White Rock, turn and come back to
Fairmont via Locust avenue, out Cleye-
land avenue and return. This route
covers about "a miles, and the Maxwell
stopped on the second trip over the
route, near Edgway.
Dr.. Hill whose record made in the
former run was the highest in the
state of West Virginia has been figured
as the likely winner Of the Liberty
Bond and the fifty collar prize made
by the Hall Garage company, but the
drop from his former record will make
the contest more interesting. Two
other runs are scheduled for today.

INDUSTRIAL
FAIRMONT

Beginning with the first of next
month there will be change in the
price of Weed tire chains according
to a letter received at the Fairmont
Auto Supply shop. The letter failed
to state whether the change would be
for the better or worse but the infer
ence is that the price will go up and
acting upon this assumption the mana
gers Of the shop purchased barrel OF
these chains. The letter also stated
that one type of chain, which because
Of the cheapness Was much used by
iitney owners, would not be manufac-
turcd after this month and large sup
ply Of these were procured by the Sup
ply shop. The grease gun, installed
in the shop some time ago, is plCvlng
very satisfactory and is used every
day. The "gun" consists of an up
right cylinder, which contains the
grease, and crank operated piston
which forces the grease through a
short section of tubing into the trans.
mission case or in whatever part Of
the mechanism it is needed.

Thrift Is Not Merely Saving

Nearly every parent in the cOun-
try at some time in his life decides
to teach his children to be thrifty
He purchases small bank and
they are taught to save their pen
nies. l can see that cast iron pig
now, standing upon the mantel in
our old home ready and willing to
eat every nickel and every penny
that came my way. / hated that
pig, for, whenever penny, or a
nickel or dime came my way, why
the pig got it and so far as can
remember now that was the last Of
it.
T wonder if this is not a mistake
and 7 wonder if there are not other
things that go to make up real
thrift fully as much as the habit OF
saving. True it is we should save.
James J. Hill has said, '1The man
who can not save can not succeed"
Yet it seems to me that we should
lcdCIl oui Doys eiide oiie wiz uocS
not work will have nothing to save,
and that persh who does not
plan for that work will have no
work, to do from which he may de
rive profit. believe that Mr.. s.
w. Straus, president of the Ameri-
can Society of Thrift, has hit the
nail squarely on the head when he
said. Thrift means plan, it means
self control. it means foresight, it
means prudence, it means sane and
legitimate self confidence. it means
all that makes for character. e. B.
