SLOW ZINC MARKET
 ADDS IDLE REPORTS

There are now more than 35,O0O idle zinc retorts in the Kansas and Oklahoma field, due to the low price of zinc and lack of demand. When demand for the metal was brisk dur ing 1915 and 1916 the smelters rushed retort building and probably went be- yond the demands of the market. It is estimated that there was 33,OO0 tons of zinc on hand the first of Jan uary, 1917, compared with only 17,OOO tons on the first of January, 1916.
 As a result of this condition it is probable that zinc pigment will be largely used instead of lead, which metal is fast being depleted. Mexico was the large exporter of lead, but owing to the guerilla warfare of the past several years this source of sup ply is practically closed. American lead mines are being depleted of their ores and if no new source is soon found the metal will have to be re- placed by the next best metal-zinc. Zinc pigments are about the best sub stitute for lead and if the price re- mains around ten cents it is sure to come into extensive use for that pur- pose.

ARIZONA POTATOES
 BRING GOOD PRICES
 ON EASTERN MARKET

PHOENIX, Arizz., Sept. 13.--That there are no potatoes being plowed un- der by farmers in any part of Cali fornia or Arizona because of alleged inability of growers to find good market for them and that all Arizona tubers are in brisk demand at good prices, not only in Arizona, but also in many states further east, is the de- claration today of the State Council of Defense. The announcement is made in refutation of widely disseminated reports that hundreds of acres of po- tatoes are being plowed under or are rotting on the ground in the west be- cause of alleged inability of growers to sell at price equal to the cost of production.
 Regarding the present demand for tubers and reports that they werego- ing to waste in many localities, E.P. Taylor, of the University of Arizona, today issued the following statement: statement.
 "Our investigations, covering prac- tically the entire southwest, fail to show a single instance where farmers have or are blowing under their pota- toes. Some weeks ago farmers in California were unable to dispose of their potatoes and considerable loss was threatened. Publicity given to the situation and an appeal to the public to eat more pota- toes and onions, however, remedied the situation almost over night. Since then the price of potatoes received by growers has gone up more than cent a pound and there is Q ready sale for all of the good potatoes that are avail able.
 Only one isolated case has come to our attention of where a farmer threatened to blow under his potatoes. He afterward sold his entire crop for approximately two cents a pound.
 "There is a good market and at a very good price for all the potatoes that the southwest can raise, and the demand for winter potatoes, now being planted, will be even greater than it is for the present crop of early tubers, because of their better keeping quail ties"

Automobile Page---News For The MotOrist
TIRES BOUGHT NOW
 INSTEAD BEING 'SOLD'

According to Lee H. Jones, of the Ford Garage, at Oatman local dis tributors for Savage Tires and Gra- finite Tubes, motorists are rapidly finding out the advantage of insisting on supplies of all sorts with establish ed regulations. This is especially true in buying tires. In other words, most tires are bought nowadays; for merly they were sold.
 Only a year or two ago it was next to impossible to find an automobile that had tires of the same kind on all four wheels, excepting of course, the new cars on which the factory equip ment was still in use. Formerly a big percentage of buyers simply ask ed for a tire when they needed one. Now they insist on getting some spec ial brand of tire, and the number of four-wheelers, cars equipped with the same tires all around, are fairly num- erous.

CADILLAC Is BEYOND
 DESCRIPTION, HE SAYS

Cadillac driver enjoy a relaxation and freeGor1 frum annoyance beyond description. declares II. G. V agncr Ilcrai deal T. Mr. :..d Mrs. Wagner rletulned few days ago from a very hard trip to the coast. "When we got back, though" asserts Mir. Wagner, Ave couldn't tell we had been travel ing"
 "I have never seen anything in print that really describes this won Gerful car," he added. "The quick ness of pickup, the instant response, the sustained power, are things which mere words cannot portray.
 We hear considerable comment con- cerning the conservation of our re sources, he continued. We even hear it noised that we should cut down riding in automobiles so as to conserve gasoline. Of course, the au- tomobile from a business standpoint is indispensable and this statement is aimed mainly at the people who use the car for pleasure. If the people will follow some very simple rules they will be able to conserve the gas oline supply without having to forego the pleasure of riding. First, we should make sure that our carburetor is working properly. Again, great many people start and stop quickly, they ride at a great variety of speeds which all take more gasoline. You might not believe it, but on a level road you may obtain 25 per cent to 50 per cent more miles per gallon of gas oline at fifteen miles per hour than at a greater speed.
 Another great waste of gasoline that may easily be avoided is allowing the engine to run while the car is standing idle. This is especially no- ticeable when automobiles are waiting for trains to pass. It is also a very common occurrence to see people sit ting in their automobiles and talking to people standing alongside while the engine is running and eating up many good miles of gasoline.
 Averaging 9,S1S miles on their tires lis the record shown by nine Cadillac owners among 100 miscellaneous car owners, according to the data collect ed by a tire manufacturers Detroit branch.
 The figures of the entire 100 own CTS showed an average of S,676 miles, hence the showing of the Cadillac own CTS is more than 1000 miles in excess of the general average.
 Of the nine Cadillac owners, seven are still using the tires upon which the report is based; and of these seven, five have reached 10000 miles or more.

BUY YOUR CAR NOW,
 SAYS STUlEBAKER MAN

Right now is the most favorable time to buy a car that may exist for several years, says G. R. Franklin local distributor of Studebaker cars. And, considering Mir. Franklin's close relationship with everything pertain ing to the marketing of motor cars, there's every reason to believe that he speaks authoritatively.
 "The low prices that purchasers have enjoyed during the last few years were made possible only by reason of enormous quantity manufac- turing" continues MT. Franklin. "The future may not permit such vast quantities to continue. Present auto mobile prices are largely based on the costs of materials contracted to previous to the soaring increase in the prices of raw materials.
 "Studebaker is the last big manu- facturer to announce an increase in prices. Due to huge purchases of raw materials, over year ago, and long term contracts, Studebaker has been able to maintain present low prices. Practically every other automobile maker has raised prices since January the first.
 "Studebaker occupies an unique po- sition in the industry. Due to over 65 years of successful business experi- ence, Studebaker prepared for just such an emergency as now exists and made abnormally large purchases of raw materials.
 'Today's motors and designs are practically perfect. Few and only minor improvements are likely to op-I pear. Present engineers are the best in the world-they have made the American car themagnificent piece of mechanism it is today, and many of them may be withdrawn from auto mobile designing to do more import ant national work here and abroad.
 ''The car that you buy today is sure to be selling at a higher price in the only saving you money on the purchase made now, but making it worth more as a used car, after you have had it for a year or more.

FISK TELLS HOW
 TO SAVE TIRES

Improperly adjusted wheels are frequently the cause for premature wearing out of tires," states the serv- ice manager of the Fisk Rubber com pany. "If the forward wheels of a car are incorrectly aligned, friction increases and the tread is quickly worn through around it's entire cir conference"
 Included in the free service given at all Fisk Service Stations, is a thor ough inspection and test for the align ment of wheels. Experienced tire men make these tests, but the work of realignment is necessarily referred to a garage, it being more of mechan- ics job than that of a tire man.

LARGE SULPHUR RESERVES.

Practically every industry requires the use of sulphur in some form, and the United States, tc be industrially independent, must therefore have an adequate supply. The record of the last three years, according to a re- cent statement issued by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior shows that this country has enough sulphur to support it's present industries, even u-Ger the re- quirements imposed by the drain of of a vast foreign demand
 The two main sources of sulphur are the native mineral and the sul- phides. Each year at least 300,000 long tons of native sulphur and l. 250,O00 long tons of sulphides are used, mostly for making sulphuric acid.

"SECTIONALISM'' AND TAXES.

Whenever a Republican dares to make
protest against the East paying more
than its share of taxes the Southerners
raise the cry of "sectionalism. In the
House of Representatives recently, when
surtax of one-third of all income taxes
was made retroactive for 1916, and Uncle
Joe Cannon referred to the fact that the
per capita wealth of Kansas was about
the same as that of Illinois and that the
former only paid $4,000, the cry was
raised of sectlonalism. When he showed
that only 5000 persons in Texas, with
nearly 1--WE million population fifth in
rank in the United States), paid taxes,
once more he was accused of sectional
ism.
Now facts are stubborn things and can
not be eliminated by calling hard names
The States which voted against Wilson
last fall are going to bear the great bur-
den OF the coming taxes. Professional
men, business men, manufacturers, etc.,
are to pay heavily in taxes, surtaxes and
on increased profits, but the cotton grow
ers OF TIE South escape. There is Just as
much reason to put a tax on cotton or
sugar as there is on coffee or extra taxes
on steel.
We would be the last to raise the cry of
sectionalism, but when the leading COM
mittees of Congress are headed by South
ern men, when the North is Disseminated
against as compared with the South, we
insist that the facts be taken into con-
slderation There is no possible excuse
for retroactive tax which hits the North
eastern portion of the country almost ex-
clusively. 1t is against common sense
against good public policy and, as we be-
heve, against the Constitution. Never
theless, the situation will be borne as
cheerfully as possible, but we object to
injecting sectionalism as cry when there
is nothing but cold fact involved-Phila-

ECONOMY AND BUSINESS.

Economy is being urged upon us. Many
they needed. There is an abundance of
money in this country. The life of bust
ness requires that this money shall cir
culate Strict economy in all things will
soon stagnate business, throw men and
women out of employment, reduce wages
and invite disaster Strict economy in
all things should of course be practiced by
every one who is living beyond his means,
but there is no valid reason why all our
people shall economic in all their expen-
ditures When all men become miserS,
business plunges into the last ditch. In
reducing waste and in conservation of
food we have more than a duty to per-
form. 1t is a necessity. Our mothers
and daughters must help. They are al
ready helping and will help more. If we
are TO supply more than half the world
with food, and keep prices from soaring
still higher, demand must not outrun
supply We must all strive together.
Greater economy and less waste of food
than now prevails must be practiced.
This will cause Stacking down of bust
ness IN some lines of trade, but business
win ADJUST itself to meet the new condi-
tons In the first place, work will be
plenty and wages will be good. Every
railroad will be taxed to the utmost to
move our freights. Every factory will
busily hum. The Liberty Loan will much
of it be spent in this country and will
circulate through the arteries of trade.
Countries which before the war imported
largely from England, France, Italy and
Germany will now buy largely from us.
Business will be good

PRIVATE OVERS AMBITION.

Vinalhaven Boy Serving in Marine Corps.
Hopes To Go To Annapolis.
Private Leslie B. Dyer of the U. S. S.
Texas, is ill in southern hospital with a
severe case of measles, but is doing fine.
He writes that he hopes to take furlough
home to recuperate, as his eyes are bad.
He, as we'll as his people, is doubly disap-
pointed, as he had been nominated by
Congressman Hon. Wallace H, White,
Jr., as possible candidate for Annapolis.
The examination took place in Lewiston
May 10th, and Private Dyer had contem-
plated taking this trip. The Navy De-
partment would have granted him a leave
of absence at once had he passed the ex-
animation. He will, however, try the
one aboard ship June 9th, which, is open
to 100 boys under 20 years of age. Had
he been able to have taken the trip to
Lewiston, he would have been Just 10
years and 2 months to day. AS this is
only open to boys who have served year
or more in the Navy this was special
privilege. But Congressman White had
found by consulting the Navy Depart
ment that he could appoint one already
in service, and Mr.. Dyer's record of ser
vice, in his enlistment of nearly IL
months and as one of Uncle Sans SOL
diers of the sea had proven, that he could
make good.
His many friends hope for his speedy
recovery, and that he may pass the ex-
animation, which would gain him en-
trance at the Annapolis Naval Academy
His mother was formerly Nellie r.
Sheldon Dyer, well known as teacher,
now the wife of Mr.. Ira o. Allen, Civil
War veteran, 18th Maine.
