OBSERVE THESE RULES IN OPP
GRATING YOUR CAR AND CON-
SERVE GASOLINE.
(Suggested by Rutledge Garage

(Suggested by Rutledge Garage
1. Don't let engine run when car
is standing 1t is good for starter
battery to be used frequently
2. Don't spill or expose gasoline
to ART evaporates rapidly and is
dangerous.
8. Don't use gasoline for clean
ing and washing-use kerosene or
other material for cutting grease.
A. Don't accelerate and stop
quickly--it wastes gas and wears out
tires. Stop engine and coast long
hills.
5. Adjust brakes so they do not
drag. See all bearings run freely.
6. Have carburater adjusted at
Rutledge Garage-they will make or
binary adjustments without charge.
7. Keep needle valve clean and
adjust carburater (while engine is
hot) to use as lean mixture as posi-
BILE. A rich mixture fouls the engine
and is wasteful.
5. Pre-heat air entering carbura-
ter and keep radiator covered in cold
weather-this will insure better va
porization.
9. See that spark is timed cor
rectly with engine and drive with
spark as fully advanced as possible
without causing engine to labor.
10. Have hot spark, keep plugs
clean and spark points properly adj
justed. -..
II. Avoid high speed. The aver
age car is most economical at Is to
25 miles per hour.
I IL. Stop all leakages, form habit
of shutting off gas at tank or feed
pipe.
10. Cut down aimless and needless
luse of car. Do a number of errands
on one trip.

AN INVITATION.
To Millers of Zone No. IL.
Are You in DOubt7


We want every miller who is in
doubt, or who wants information on
any point of his obligations to Food
Administration, TO ASK CUES
TIONS WITHOUT FURTHER DE-
LAY. OF course, we want these ques-
tons to be logical and made only
after carefully studying the Rules
and Regulations, as well as Bulletins,
with which all Millers have been sup
piled. We invite these questions now
because we approach the time when
excuses for noncompliance with Reg
uations will no longer be accepted.
Our Field men occasionally report
Excess Prices on Flour and Feed; al
so improper Extraction and some IN
fair Practices in Wheat buying. We
have been rather lenient to date,
feeling that the change of program
perhaps justified leniency, but we can
be quite as firm as lenient, and while
nothing would be more \ distasteful
nor cause US more sincere regret than
the recommendation for a suspension
of a License, we know what our duty
is and are going to do it.
Come forward with your doubts,
then, but remember that there is
vast difference between "COM-
PLANTS" and DOUBTS"
Yours truly,
United States Food Administration
Edw. M. Flesh, Agent.

Labor Situation Serious.

A great many negroes have left
here recently to secure employment
at the government nitrate plant near
Sheffield, Ala, and the local labor
situation, which materially improv-
ed after the race riot at East St.
Louis stopped the emigration of the
blacks to northern cities, has again
become serious. 1t is extremely diff
iicult to secure help of any kind
and not only are industries in Co.
lumbus being handicapped but farm
ers are finding it almost impossi-
BILE to secure tenants for their land,
The seriousness of the situation is
augmented by the fact that many
negroes who have been called upon
to fill out questionnaires do not yet
know to what classes they have been
assigned, and land owners are reluc-
