~ Standards of the Franklin Car

THERE has never been, and there
likely never will be, a complaint
against the motorist using his car
freely for business and health. The criti-
o5m Is against waste.
Before the war, in this country of plenty,
waste was rather an unconscious habit.
But the needs of war are correcting it
and the lessons we are now learning will
undoubtedly govern buying for personal
requirements, as well as curtal the e&trav-
agance on necessities, for years to come.
During these days when every man,
woman and child is cooperating with the call
for National Thrift, it is hard-migbty
bard-for motorist to Justify the cxtrav-
agance of the car that gives but 10 OF II
miles to the gallon of gasoline and 5000
to 5000 miles to the set of tires.
The motorist who used to be Indifferent
about excessive gasoline and tire bills is
now looking for the way to maintain his
mileage at about balfbg present cost But it
means less taking of claims for granted, and
more investigation Of facts that stand ready
to be demonstrated any time.

An Interesting Demonstration
for Thinking Motorists

Let the car owner, or the man about to
select car, ponder a minute over the
significance of the Franklin National
Efficiency Demonstration held July II.
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1917-11-27

How Franklin scientific construction
brings to a negligible minimum all gaso-
line consuming friction and drag, with its
wear and tear-responsible for the
heavy annual depreciation in the average
car The franklin is the easicstrolling
car in America.
Howhn materials and fine workmanship
mean allaround economy in the long run.
The Reasons for Franklin Eff
ciency are built into the Car
Franklin Economy does not stop at
gasoline Ut begins there.
Take tires. Over ten thousand miles to
the set, over hveyear period, is the actual
experience Of Franklin car owners-accord-
ing to their own reports,
And the long life of the Franklin is best
demonstrated by the absence ofthe Franklin
in the volumes of used-car advertisements
in daily newspapers.
Is any other car efficient enough to
travel 1916 miles on d single gallon Of oil, as
the Franklin did last year on its run from
New York to Chicago?
There's nothing vague about motor car

of the car.

TRY GROWING ORCHIDS
BY E. VAN eENTHUYsEN.

Contrary to the general opinion,
orchids are by no means difficult to
grow to their fullest perfection. An
other prevalent error is that the orchid
is exclusively q rich mans flower.
This is by no means true, for many of
the varieties are relatively inexpen-
sive, and it is possible by the expendi-
ture of a very limited amount of
money to have collection of superla-
tive beauty. They require the proper
kind of house. the correct materials
in which to grow them, care in water
ing and temperature and the same at
tentiOn that must be given to every
growing thing, but, given these, the
orchid will reward the grower most
| abundantly
Orchids require plenty of light and
air, but must not be exposed to the
full sun. The proper shading of the
orchid house in summer is very essen
tial.
No other flower of the floral king
dom boasts of so many wondrous COM
binations of form, color, texture as the
orchid. OF all the flowers that have
been given us there is none to COM
pare with the orchid to embellish our
homes with their fresh loneliness of
form and color, or for personal adorn-
ment.
No other flower so persistently APP
peals to the refined taste of those to
whom orchids have become passion,
the exquisite perfume varying from
the faint, delicate fragrance of some OF
the dendrobiums to the delicious and
almost overpowering Odor of the Ae-
rides and Epidendrums.
Orchids can be grown in pots, pans
and baskets in fibrous peat, with prop
err drainage. While they require shad-
ing in the summer, dark houses should
be avoided, and the air should be adj
mitted whenever possible.
Cypripedium is one of the most in
teresting branches of the orchid fam
lily and offers a bountiful field of en-
joyment to the amateur. 1t is com
posed of many varieties and an almost
unlimited number of hybrids, of be-
wildering variations in form and color.
They are of the easiest culture and
bloom in the greatest profusion. This
class is extremely low in price and of |
fers untold enjoyment to the orchid !
lover of limited means.
The Odontoglossums are the most ex-
tensively grown of all orchids. They re-
quire an even, cool and moist tempera-
ture throughout the year. They are
among the most easily cultivated. and

AMARYLLIS

The amaryllis is an extremely orna
mental plant with large, fragrant
| beautifully colored flowers. To sue
cessfulIy grow them considerable at
tention must be paid to the condition
of the soil.
The most suitable soil is good loan
with one-fourth part of leafmold, or
AS with other plants good drainage is
very important.
The growing season is from early
spring until about September, when
the plants should be kept cool and
allowed to rest until February. They
require plenty of sunshine, but during
the Towering season a light shading
tends to preserve the blossoms longer.
One of the things to be sedulously
avoided if you wish to have success
with growing amaryllis is to see that
there is no disturbance of the roots
The past few seasons have seen
some wonderfully beautiful results in
the growing Of amaryllis Flaming
gorgeous coicrs have been produced
along with vari-striped effects quite
bewildering in their beauty.
If you have established bulbs in
large pots, see they have top dress
ing when starting, and manure water
during the growing season.
To the gardener who has not as yet
experimental with this plant, it is
worth try. New delight and interest
comes with the growth of new plants
each season

friend; with it one man can do as
much work in two hours as he can in
six with the old-fashioned common
hoe. 1t saves laborious STOPPING,
makes the work easier and does it
better. These hoes have several at
tachments such as drills, cultivatOrs

suitable for crops of all kinds and
sizes. If man is too lazy to attend
