GASOLINE AND THRIFT

If, out of the millions of car owners
of this country, only small percent
age were to practice thrift in the use
Of gasoline, the consumption would be
greatly reduced and the cost cheap
ened accordingly; for the high prices
must Of necessity be traceable to the
huge and insatible demand that results
from the hundreds Of thousands of
cars used daily
When motor car was new thing,
gas was obtainable at a price that
would make the heart of the present
day motorist leap with joy and little
thought given to is economy; but as
it goes up and up, care must of neces-,
sity be used if the cost of motoring
does not become prohibitive. 1t has
been stated on good authority that Il
saving of from fifty to one hundred
dollars per year per car could be made
if care We're taken in the use of gaso-
line. Care of bearings, care of tires,
and clean cylinders, will save the car
wner more than he knows. Those who
know anything at all about a car will
appreciate the fact that we waste a lot
of fuel that does no good.
We do not coast the hills. we let
the motor run when the car is stand
| ing, we use the clutch too much. We
have poor adjustments on the carbur-
eter, and burn gas instead of air. We
do not get full measure from the gaso,
line seller, and we make long detours
because distance is so little an element
in motoring.

Consequently the builders have made

The future influence of the automo-
bile on our methods of life Is hard to
forsee. But 1t Is certain that the in
fuence will be tremendous. The motor
car is bringing the world together. It
is eliminating distance. It is bring
ing the country nearer to the city,
the east nearer to the west. 1t is
helping the people Of the different
parts Of the land better to understand
each other.
Would you imagine that the auto
mile would ultimately solve the prob
lem Of the high cost of living 1t will.
Easy Now for Farmer
The middleman came into existence
originally because the farm was so
far from the city. With the gasoline
propelled vehicle the farmer can now
reach the city market in few hours.
His need for the commission merchant
Is not so great. The value of the food
distributor is consequently lessening.
The automobile will some day bring
the farmer direct to the consumer, and
also the consumer direct to the
farmer.
The standard of living on the farm
is, Of course, revolutionized, by the au-
tomobile. Not only has the automo-
bile brought about the possibility Of
city shopping for the family, but it
also aids mechanically the operations
Of the farmer through the various ap.
pliances for pumping, threshing, etc.
Conditions Are Improved.
The coming of the city motorist in
to the open country had led to good
roads, better hotels, improved villages,
and beneficial influence on the
thoughts and manners of the farm
dwellers. You might be surprised II
the village pastor told you that the
popular priced automobile had greatly
increased Sunday attendance on the
part Of the far dwelling parishioners
1t is hard to forsee the end, how.

Jacob Jones, coloret, had eight pints
of liquor upon him when arrested. He
claims to be an itinerant preacher,
And alleged in his defense that he
procured the liquor in Washington
for his personal use, and had no in
tention of violating the law. He was
held for the action of the grand jury.
The police assert that Jones is a
regular "bootlegger" but that this Is
the first time that they have been
able to get the evidence on him. They
say he made regular trips to Wash

at different points along the route in
order to BATTLE the police.
