Franklin Facts a Matter of
Public Record

Just consider the significance OF the Ma

on July 18th, 1917. Over all sorts of roads,
in weather partly fair and partly rainy,
these cars recorded at ITO different points
in the United States the remarkable aver
age of 40.3 miles to the single gallon of
gasoline.
This record shows what the Franklin

The practical motorist might ask himself
what any other make of car can do along
the same lines. Such comparative test
offers a standard which owner operation
can modify in the same respect against

High gasoline mileage means economy
all along the line, 1t takes no expert to
know that if a car is overburdened with
heavy weight and undergoing constant
wear and tear the gasoline tank will tell it
by low mileage.
Take tires. For five years franklin
owners have been reporting their individu
al tire mileage. The average for this five
year period is 10,203 miles.

In few feetng months, Morgan has

One Of the most exhilirating manifestations
of the truly Christian spirit of the campaign,
was the unanimity of the organized clergy:
with one voice. they cried "Give us War!"
Not war IN self-defense; not war upon the
ocean, to maintain our neutral rights; but
war IN Europe, war of aggression, fed with
the life-blood of c0n8ciptod men!
How do you explain it?
These are the preachers to never get tired
telling us that "God is love-" and who coax
money for missions out of reluctant purses,
by saying that when all the nations "come to
Christ" there will be no more wars.
The only peace on earth, at this time, is
among the heathen
Every nation that has ''come to Christ" is
fighting like the very Devil
All those that are fighting, came to Christ
long ago; and those that are not in the
Armageddon are fixing for it,

surprised and indignant protest.
AS soon as [ saw it, at once telegraphed
him, warmly endorsing his stand encourag-
ing him to fight it out, and assuring him that

That telegram was on the wires within a

To show how wide Of the truth the Rev.
Budd was in his pull pit attack on me- let our
readers examine file Of The Jeffersonian.
IN the issue for June s, 1916-a year ago
you will find a letter on the front page from
Hollis L. Pope, of Monticello, Georgia, ask

with the internal affairs of another independ-
ent Republic.
Then came the German question; and since
the Rev. Budd pretended to read an editorial
of mine, favorng the sending of a conscripted
army to Europe I will quote, word for word,
what The Jeffersonian published, year ago:
as TO GERMANY:
After Bernstorff virtually confessed COM
pllcity in the Lusitania murders of American
women and babes, his passport should have
been given him, instantly, and he should have
been expelled, forthwith.
That would have called the German bluff,
both here among the hyphens, and in Berlin
among the Divine Right autocrats.
Along with Bernstorff, his entire qonq of
criminals should haze been eppezzed.
Vigorous measures at the beginning, would
have sobered the Germanic plotters, dyna-
mlters, and assasslns
After Bernstorff's bandits had DESTROYED
our plants, murdered our work-people, and
betrayed their hatred in every possible man
ner, the tide of war turns, and Bernstorff
actually publishes proclamation to his &C
completes in crime, which, properly rendered,
should read:
We can't take Verdun: we can't Gcmolish
France: we can't bulge Russia: the English
army is at last coming upon the field, and the
Russians overrunning Asia Minor: Germany
IS bleeding and starving to death: we must
have peace: we. need American influence:
therefore, we will cease to wage war, from the
German Embassy, upon the American works,
and work-people!'
Since governments were organized, there
never was such an UNANIMOUSLY insolent proc
lamatiOn as that of the German Ambassador.

INSURANCE OF SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS

Washington, DC, Nov, i9l7--The
act which provides for Government
life insurance for soldiers and sail
ors has now been in operation little
more than a month. The Secretary
of the Treasury announced on Novenl-
Der 18th that up to date 64,168 APP
plications under the new law had been
received, representing insurance in the
sum Of $552, 093,O0O. From four to
six thousand applications are received
each day at the Treasury Department
the amount of insurance applied for
sometimes reaching total of fifty
million dollars in single day.
The law provides that soldiers, sail
ors, marines and nurses in active
service may obtain from the govern
ment life insurance in amounts not
exceeding $4,000 at premium rates
ranging from 65 cents month at the
age of 81 years to S1.20 month at
the age of 81 years, for each $1,000 of
insurance.
One of the primary objects of this
law is to lessen the tremendous bur-
den Of pensions which has followed
as a consequence Of all American
wars.
It is evident that the administration
of this new branch of Government
work is big business in itself. But
this is only one of many government
activities incident to the war which
are adding great numbers Of clerks,
stenographers and other servants to
Uncle Sans payroll. Literally thou
sands of stenographers and typewrit-
ers have been appointed in Washing
ton during the past few months and
thousands more are to be appointed
as soon as they are available. The
United States Civil Service Commits
sion is holding examinations for these
positions weekly throughout the coun
try. Secretaries of local boards of
civil service examiners at the post Of
fices in all cities are furnishing de-
tailed information.

RETAILERS AND FOOD CONTROL

Under q new regulation of the
United States Food administration
IN effect now, retailers who violate
the food control act by charging ex-
eesslve prices for necessary food NAV
have their supply cut off. While the
smaller retailers of food are EXEMPT
from the licensing provisions of tn
act, they are subject to the proyis-
ions Of section four of the law. which
forblds excessive prices on necessar-
les, boarding, destroying food or con-
spinning. to restrict production.
The food administration has power
to instruct wholesale dealers and 9th
er food-handling industries under Ii
cense not to supply retailers who are
violating the provisions of the act.
There is no intention to disturb legi-
innate business. and the food admins
tration will initiate measures against
only those who are taking advantage
of war conditions to exact unreason-
able profits on staple necessaries.
Through its influence on the pur-
chase of pork for expectation the
food administration will endeavor to
make equitable the price of hogs and
pork products in the United States,
the necessity for more hogs in this
country to keep pace with the de-
mand for meat is pointed out in Bull
letin No. 10 just issued by the food
administration.
In this offiiial publication the FOOD
administrator states thai through
his influence on exports he will do all
in his power to see that prices paid
producers for their hogs are main
tanned at ratio to feed prices that
will not only cover costs Of produc-
ton, but will properly remunerate
the producer.

ORIGIN OF THE KNoCKER

1t has been chroniclcd that after
the Creator had made all good
things there was still some dirty
work to do, so He made reptiles and
poisonous insects. When He had fin
ished He had some scraps that were
too bad to be put into the rattlesnake
and the hyena and the scorpion and
the skunk so He put all these to-
gether, covered the whole with sus-
picion, wrapped it with jealousy,
marked it with yellow streak and
called it Knocker. Personal Eff
cheney.
