OWNERS BECOMING MORE
INTERESTED IN ECONOMY
Car with Convenience and Service
for Less Money Has Strong
Appeal

While the dollars and cents aspect
of fuel, oil and tire economy makes
strong appeal to car owners. there
is another side of the case that de-
serves almost equal recognition. This
is the Inconvenience imposed upon
the car owner by the car of low
economy.
A local distributor of the Grant
six says: "In touring it makes a
great deal of difference i'm the car
owners pleasure if he has to replen-
ish his gasoline supply only every
two hundred miles or so instead of
twice as often, and if he needs new
oil only once in nine hundred or a
thousand miles instead of every five
or six hundred miles.
In the cities, of course, gas sta
tions are numerous and a new supply
involves only a few minutes stop or
only a few blocks of travel, but this
can be very annoying at times. The
less frequently he has to stop or go
out of his way, the better the car
owner likes his car. Some car
makers have recognized this by put
ting in extra capacity tanks. But to

WAR DEMANDS SHORTEN
HUDSON SUPER-SIX SUPPLY
Enormous Orders From Government
Expected; $4,000 Already
Called For.

THE government has just distrib-
ated orders for $4,000 motor cars Of
all descriptions" said n local Hudson
dealer. This is just preliminary
the first of the war orders which
shortly will demand practically all the
cars of certain grades that can be
manufactured. Fifty thousand mo-
tors are necessary for immediate or
ganization uses. We can only con-
lecture what tremendous demands will
follow when the government begins
to mobilize the great army which VIII
begin to take shape in few weeks.
automobile men know they face
shortage. Many of them have
bought stock far in advance of their
Usual schedule to be prepared. The
general public also is beginning to
realize that the car market will be
short this year. 1t is not improbable,
indeed. that the shortage will be so
acute that dealers who have cars on
hand will be able to ask almost any
price they wish for them.
'If we need an example of how war
strips the motor market We can find
it in France. or any of the nations at
war. France Is now making five times
MS many cars as II did before the out
break of the war, and only few Of
these are available for private pur-
chase.
MANY people in the United States
are thoroly aware of the situation and
have prudently bought their cars while
there is time. We have had great
many OF these customers ourselves.
The demand for super-sixes has been
so great this year that there is great
difficulty in securing sufficient num-
bers of them from the factory when
we want them. / don't know how
much war orders will Increase this
difficulty. but / do know war orders
must take precedence.
People intending to buy motor cars
this year should place their orders
now to be on the safe side"

FISK COMPANY BUYS
BIG BLOCK OF BONDS
Quarter of Million Dollars Put
in Liberty Notes by Rub
ber Concern.

Probably no industrial concern in
New England has taken hold of the
Liberty loan bond distribution with
more zeal than the Fisk Rubber COM
pany, which, with the participation of
the employees. has disposed of $780,
600 worth of bonds.
Participation of the employees with
the company in the big war issue has
been encouraged by the company
thru an installment plan of payment
which has enabled every person to
subscribe fer the sum which he or
she could rightly afford.
The sale of bonds on this basis was
further stimulated by the activities of
teams, composed of employees in each
department, who made a thoro can
vass of every person, explaining
about the plan and pointing out OF
the fact that the country's welfare
demands the support of every indi-
vidual.
If all private industries would give
as earnest support to the Liberty
loan, the government would expert
ence little difficulty in meeting the
war situation with the vigor that is
necessary to insure success.
In buying $250,000 worth of the
Liberty bonds the Fisk company and
employees have set a commendable
example and amply manifest their
patriotism and loyalty, inasmuch as
this sum represents purchases by a
very large percentage of the total
number of employees. Ten thousand
dollars worth of bonds were pur-
chased in the Fisk administration
building alone and more than $780,
900 worth by the employees.

HOW THE ALPHABET GREW
Began as Pictures and Required Ages
for Complexion.

No one really knows all about where
the alphabet came from. because 1t
grew very slowly, like children and
every other good thing in the world.
But we know quite well that no in
genious man sat down and made the
alphabet, and we know quite well.
too. that the alphabet began as pic
lures.
Just as a child reads or takes things
in by pictures long before 1t can read
letters, so men used to read and write
by pictures: and then these pictures
we're gradually made simpler and sim
pier until at last they could be used
in every and any way. as our letters
can. We know that the letter 0 was
at first the picture Of an eye, and
that gradually men made the picture
palmer, until at last they drew an o.
The letter I was once a picture OF q
house: and very likely capital A
may have been at first the picture Of
pyramid.
Ages and ages ago In Egypt men
used both kinds of writing. The priests
used the oldest kind. which was the

JEFFERY USED TO
HELP RECRUITING
Automobile Is Winner in Call
ing Fighting Men for Uncle
Sans Armies.

One of the familiar sights on
utah's highways today is a banner
bedecked Jeffery siX-passenger car
which plies thru the rural districts
and small towns in search of fighting
men for Uncle Sam.
The recruiting car Is in charge Of
Sergt. Pen Cherakin and party. whose
efforts have been very effective in
swelling the total of Utah's enlist
ments. The arrival of the Jeffery re-
cruiting car in small town or min
ing camp is the signal for enthusas-
tic welcome and patriotic demonstra-
ton.
The now well known posters.
Uncle Sam Wants You" and "Co-
lumbia Calls are being distributed
broadcast turnout the country by the
soldiers.
1t Is the intention of the men in
charge to send this Jeffery Six thru
out Utah and later into southern
Idaho. The car has been working
perfectly and due to the generally
prevailing good roads which the re-
cruting party has encountered, fast
time has been the program with the
result that a great deal of ground has
been covered
This car is the Nash-refined JEFF
fiery 671 model now so much in de-
mand. Because the Nash organiza-
ton as manufacturers of 80 per cent
of this car were forced to lay in their
present stock of raw materials far in
advance, securing them over year
ago at the then prevailing lower
prices, they have not been affected by
the rising prices of raw materials
which have forced Al manufacturers
to raise prices within the past few
months As soon as the present
stock of raw materials is exhausted.
however the price may be raised.

m these big tanks is so expensive
that owners get into the habit OF put
tlng in only ten or ~ gallons at n
time and so the uneconomical car. in
spite of its large tank, is always
having to stop for gas.
There Is no doubt that car owners
are becoming more and more inter
