The Coming of a
GREAT ENGINE
1t Makes High P0zver Out of L00v Craze Gas

Men who drive cars are face to face with
a condition That becomes more and more
serious each day.
Ginning grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
For the moment, and possibly for all
time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced
crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
give way in engineers discussions to the
"gas problem.
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make lone drop of gas nov do
the work of two".
Just as great situations produce great
men, so out of this condition has come a
great engine.
1t is a Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
Compared with other engines of the
same size or Whereabouts, it shows:
More boqner More rapid accelerahon
Greater economy Greater length @We
Greater sm0othneN
And an ama$ing ability TO start quickly on
a cold day, and to "oUa'm up oVithout delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why it is so good.
In many engines of the moment the gas
passes IN its way from the carburetor to the
cylinder through a tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
O become completely mixed with the air.
This results in raw gas running into not
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case of the Chalmers engine this
type OF intake manifold has been COM.
pletely eliminated.

Long Bridge Burned.

The news came here that the
long Bridge over the lake marsh
was burned Thursday evening,
which was caused by fire from the
marsh weeds. 1t seems to us that
the parish police jury should have
had the weeds cut on both sides
far enough to protect this bridge,
which was in bad condition, but
one which was of great conve-
nience to the people of that Sec
ton and to this town.

Cane Price $6.22

The conference of the United
States Food Commission and Com
mittee of sugar planters agreed
upon a price of IS ~ for raw su-
gar, which means that cane will
be paid for at 1922 per ton. This
would be satisfactory under favor
able conditions, but with the pre-
sent crop, which will barely be a
half one, therefore doubling the
expense of the crop, now being
harvested, the cane planters will
make no money this year.

Scores OF districts are beginning
to look to the. State to aid them, not
temporarily but regularly. Hundreds
OF others are turning their eyes long
ingly toward the State treasury to help
them with their schools. Not a few
districts have asked for help to get
themselves out of debt, have received
the help then contracted a second debt
and asked help again. Whenever any
people become chronic mendicants at
the doors Of the public treasury they
have lost the best part Of their man
