STATE SEEKING
LABOR ON FARMS
Board of Public Charities
Takes Lead in Urging CO.
operative Steps

The State Board of Public Charities
is making every effort possible to get
people for work on the farms and in
conjunction with the food commit
tee of the State Public Safety com
mittee is calling upon men in charge
of county prisons and almshcuses to
have all able bodied persons go out
and help increase the food supply.
Letters have ben sent by Secretary
Bromley Wharton to the stewards OF
all almshouses asking that they put
ali the land possible under culttVa-
tion and the keeping of as much live
stock as they can and to the wardcns
Of prisons suggesting use OF LABOR
on farms.
The letter to prison officials says in
part: 1T has occurred to this board
that the convict men in the Jail may
ho utilized on the farm at the county
almshouse. This system is being
carried out in the almshouse of Della
ware county. Every day the prison.
ers are conveyed by wagon from the
Jail TO the almshouse and worked on
the farm. At the Western Peniten-
tiary. at Rockview. Center county,
about 500 prisoners are at work on
the farms of that institution. VIII
you take this matter up and advise
me if some arrangements cannot be
made with the county almshouse or
county home to have your prisoners
utilized on the farms connected
Herewith ?"
The letters are accompanied by
this letter from Chairman Heinz, OF
the food committee, to Mr., Whar-
ton:
Acting on the advice of Governor
Brumbaugh, l am asking your CO.
operation in stimulating the produc-
ton of food.
''Mr. Hoover, who knows the situ-
alton abroad as no one else does, says
that the world will starve If we do
not put in more crops. May l, there
FORE suggest that you call to the at
tention of the superintendent of each
county almshouse and hospital for
the insane, the necessity of tilling all
suitable land belonging to the insti-
tuition, and of keeping as much stock
as the land will support.
Hogs and poultry will provide
quick meat, and each institution
should endeavor to supply its own
needs for meat by raising these.
There will, no doubt, be difficulty
in securing farm labor. The Aim
house of Delaware county, l under
stand. is using the convict men of
the county Jail who are brought out
each day to the institution in a wa
gon. The experience at Rockview,
Pa, with convicts and at Occoquam,
Va, with workhouse prisoners,
shows that the ordinary Jail prisoner
can be worked in the open without
chains or armed guards without qan-
ger to the community.
'The farm committees of the local
committees of Public Safety will, no
doubt, be able to make other sug-
gestions for solving the labor prob
lem and I suggest that it would be
we'll for each institution to get in
touch Immediately with the commit
tee of that district"

Couple Make Long Tour
on 25th Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. o. Z. Aultman and
son, of Denver, are in the midst of
an extensive tour of the country,
which is the unique method of cele-
brating. their twenty-fifth anniver-
sary.
Some years ago solemn COM
pact was made, that 1917 would find
them on n long automobile sight
seeing tour. That the tour is assum-
ing large proportions is shown by q
mileage of $500 miles already COW
cred on the territory as far East as
New Orleans, and with enormous
fields still uneXplored.
Past experience prompted Mr..
Aultman to select n Velie Biltwel
Six for the journey, and it has
proven full worth of its name. He
said, "Our selection of the Velie Six
was made primarily because of re-
liability and comfort. We have ex-
perienced no trouble of any kind"

enough to stand it out prominently
from the score of other cars in the
caravan. 1t is the same type Series
is siX-cylinder motor that made the
trip and was the first car into the
famous Yosemite valley this year;
that made the run with twenty cars,
with seven soldiers in each car, fully
equipped. of the Tenth Company,
Coast Artillery, from Fort Winfield
Scott. San Francisco, to Halfmoon
Bay. Il distance of 80 miles over the
Pacific highway and through the
coast range of mountains. around the
most difficult turns, in one hour and
fourteen minutes, without one item OF
engine or tire trouble.
1t is the desire of the San Fran
cisco Advertising Club in making
this trip primarily to interest the
convention at St Louis and secure
the 1918 convention for the Cali
fornia metropolis, to also demon
strate the possibilities of n great
number of cars to move large body
of men from long distances in the
East to the West, or vice versa,
should anything happen to the rail
lines of transportation during these
times, and incidentally to local points
on the road that would mark n vital
point to be guarded or protected
should there be an attempt to block
the roadways.
No effort is being made to estab-
lish a new cross-country time rec
ord. Each car in the "On-to-St.
Louis" caravan is a regular. stock
model. equipped for touring and not
for the so-called "stock car" rec
ords made by stripped cars in the
hands of professional drivers. How
ever, the driver of the Studebaker
pilot car says he'll head the process
sion into st. Louis in plenty of time
for the intrepid ad men to sit in"

two years will continue.
'I find Hupmobile dealers, espe-
cially, optimistic over conditions and
their greatest worry seems to be over
their inability to sucure enough

business complaint is on shortage of

production to take care of orders"

The Thrift of the Franklin Car
Our Response to the National Call

of economy is the man who
buys heavy, extravagant car and
then limits its use.
Whatever the times or condi-
tons, the Franklin owner knows
that he stands firmly on a thrift
basis.
That if all cars were as efficient
as the Franklin, America would
save Four Hundred Million Gal
Ions of gasoline and $192,000,000
worth of tires every year-with-
out cutting one mile off the stu
pendous motor-car mileage of
the United States.
There is Needless Waste of
Gasoline and Tires
Thrift always implies a sense
of vaIueS.
What is the mileage Ualue of a
gallon of gasoline-or a set of tiresf
Do you realize that all the
twenty-odd years of motor-car
designing has never produced
anything like standard of mile
age for either gasoline or tiresf
That gasoline, worth tqDenty
miles and upward in the scientific
Hght-qOeight Franklin, drops as low
as nine miles and even six miles
in many another make of fine carr
That while the Franklin owner
is getting his ten thousand miles
from a set of tires, the typical
fine car owner is getting only
five thousand or lesSf
Franklin ODners HaUe the Facts
on Comparative Costs
Where the heavy car wastes
gasoline in the drag of its dead
weight-the Franklin devotes its
power to mileage. .,'-
Where the heavy car hammers
its tires out before their time

As people, Americans have
II so long been charged with
L Awastefulness and extrava-
gance that we have come to ad-
NIT it as our National sin.
Perhaps the meanest thing that
has been said of us is that our only
idea of economy is to do without.
That, being a people of ex-
tremeS, we can save only in the
most drastic and obvious way.
That our idea of reducing
household expenses is to dis
charge the help, wear our old
clothes and cut the table where
it will be felt the most.
That we must either waste
coal or shut down the furnace
and freeze.
There is just enough truth in
this indictment to hurt.
Wastefui Economy Us. Construc-
tue SaUing and Use
The call to National economy
ought rather to be call to
National Thrift.
Here in the richest country in
the world-with nationwide
employment and prosperity, with
wages higher than they have ever
been in the history of the world,
with 935,000,000 acres of tillable
land and unprecedented returns
for the farmer-we can support
another hundred-million people,
whether in this country or Eu-
rope, on what America wastes, if
we only apply brains to our prob
lens, National and individual.
Motor Traffic Vital Factor
in National Life
1t takes no brains to practice
the economy of doing without.
A good example of this idea

LIQUOR ROUTE IN ''DRY TOWN"
 IS DISCOVERED
Alleged Peddler of Beer and Rum In Easton Placed
 Under Arrest

Alleged by the authorities to have
 operated a beer and rum route in the towns of Easton, Weston and in the
 suburbs of Westport, just as farmers of those towns conduct milk routes,
 Frank Mastroni, of Brooklawn, Fair field, was arrested Friday by State
 Policeman Rowe H. Wheeler of Strat-
 ford, who was accompanied by Liquor
 Prosecutor Harry R. Sherwood, of
 Westport, in gathering evidence.
 Easton has been for years a dry sec-
 tion of the country and various meth ods have been pursued in endavors to
 slake the thirst of inhabitants. Sev-
 era1 months ago complaint came to
 the office of Prosecutor Sherwood, and
 armed with a warrant Friday he started with State Policeman Wheeler after Mastroni. The officials had little trouble and
 Mastroni is now held in bonds of $200 for trial before Judge Bacon Wake
 man, of Fairfield, next Thursday
 morning at 10 o'clock, on a charge of selling liquor in a Io-license town. Mastroni's method was a simple one. With a commercia1-bodied car, he is claimed to have driven to Easton at
 stated intervals with carefully con-
 cealed loads of the contraband. In the town he would go from place to place, dIsposing of comparatively small lots to his various customers. As far as is known, none of the others sold the liquor further.
 Friday he started out, but was fol- lowed by MT. Sherwood and the state 1 policeman, at a safe distance. In l Easton center the car was stopped, and Mastropi jumped out and rang a door-bell. The person who responded said that he wanted two cases of beer. Mastroni replied, it is alleged by the authorities, that he could spare only | one, and the customer decided that one would do. After delivering the
 one case, five empties were put into the automobile. The officials claim to
 have seen the money passed. They
 have some other evidence which is not made public at this time. It is alleged that Mastroni had about | 15s customers in Easton. Among the | stuff seized are included 22 dozen bot ties of beer and two gallons of rum.

Goes to Sleep In Green, Awakens On
 Got In Hospital

s
 If a tired man wants to sleep on Old Mill Green. physicians have no legal right to bundle him unceremo- niously into the emergency arntul, nce and carry him to the Bridgeport hos- pital. This was the conten,. cI .. l. liam Rowe. 46 East Main street, when he appeared before Judge Frank Wil- der this morning charged with breach of the peace at the hospital.
 Rowe stated today that he was very tired last night and lay down on the green to have a little nap. Being a sound sleeper. he did not awake, until the ambulance had deposited him at the Bridgeport hospital and attend ants had placed him on a cot.
 Then he insisted he was not sick. Someone must have contradieted him and he then proceeded to show that he was in the best of physical health with the result that he was locked up for making a disturbance. Judge Frank Wilder fined him S5.
