Performance and Economy
Two Hupmobile Features

In speaking of the various "se-
lcct points" of the new series r.
Hupmobile, two big features stand
out and in a way speak for them
selves. These points are the per-
formance and economy. In the mat
ter of performance. it is claimed
that this new Hupmobile even out
classes that of the series IN" 1t
develops more power and shows sur
prising strength in hill-climbing and
in digging through heavy sand and
mud.
This car is SO geared that while
running in high gear 1t can be
throttled down so as to equal the
pace of an ordinary walk and with
a slight pressure of the accelerator
will jump from a speed OF four
miles an hour TO fifty miles an hour.
very little vibration. The riding
qualities are easily explained in the
adopted phrase of the company,
THE Comfort Car"
In speaking of the economy of this
new Hupmobile. Mr.. Church. the To-
cal distributor. says, This car is
economical because it is a practical
stranger to repair shop. The
sturdiness with which these cars are
built assures this. From the tires
up through the car to the top it is
built for long service. The fuel
question is ono that has been given
a great deal of thought by the en-
gineers of our factory, especially that
OF carburetion. The light weight or
these cars added to the unusual per-
, formance makes it indeed the COM
. fort car"

lett over when the garden products
or next year begin to be available?
So many bushels of potatoes, so
many measures of beets, and OF
carrots and parsnips, and so on.
through the list, could be roughly
guessed at, of course; but this SEEM
ed altogether too vague, too much
the old hit-or-miss way. There must
be something more definite than this
or 1t would not deserve to be called
scientific management.
obviously it must be brought
down to the Individual, in order to
be exact enough to meet this fest
and to form a basis of operations.
How many potatoes will an indivi-
dual eat during the year? How
many beets? And carrots? And
parsnips?-ands so on. Sounds alb
surd, at first, does it not? But act
ually it is simply a problem in rat
ioning which, when solved, is to be
coupled up to the gardening plan
ming problem, and there you are!
so thus 1t was all planned, root
crops and top crops, with pages of
figures set down before quantities
were finally determined"
AS a result of Miss Tabor's plan
We have a supply of each vegetable
based upon division of the year
into producing months and non-pro-
ducing months, There are approxi-
mately eighteen weeks during which
each days supply may be taken
fresh from the garden, leaving thir-
ty-four weeks to be provided for
with canned, dried, or preserved
products, or with the strictly winter
vegetables. The writes goes on:
,trf, o
days, of winter have eight strictly
winter vegetables and six canned or
preserved to be divided among them;
that is, there must be enough of the
fourteen to serve seventeen times
each, or as much more of n favorite
as may be wanted, with as much less
of some other. Against this, eight
times serving each of the fifteen
available during the 1875 days of
fresh green stuff-this reckoning
does not include salads, nor gar
nishes, nor the side issues, such as
radishes-will carry through the
summer, roughly speaking.
THE canning and drying are look
ed to first, and only when the re-
quisite amount is reached is the gar
den product freely consumed during
the growing season. This does not
mean any dearth of fresh. green
vegetables, however, for the list does
not include salads, but the garden
includes them the year around, with
the help of it's three frames. Also,
it affords fresh kale during the very
early spring-late winter, actually
and spinach also. and there are per-
ennial onions, furnishing the seal
lions of early spring, tucked away
in a corner"
