EASY II AVOID EXCESSIVE WEAR
 SAYS FERGUSON

"The scarcity of both labor and ma terials necessary to automobile manu- facture, makes it every mans plain duty to get all he can out of the car he drives. It isn't as though that were a hardship either" says MT. Ferguson of the Ferguson Keeler company, local Oldsmobile dealers, because the man who takes the best care of his car is the one who gets most satisfactory service out of it from day to day.
 Last week one of the engineers from our factory technical offices sug- Gcsted that We instruct every Oldsmo- bile buyer to follow out a few simple rules that will add to the pleasure of driving as well as relieve the car of much unnecessary wear.
 The first of these. rules is: Never do things in a hurry. When one stops to consider that the shocks of sudden starting and stopping and careless. nasty gear changes must be taken up by highly organized piece of ma chinery, the everyday common sense of this suggestion is easy to be seen.
 Too Much Brakeing
 Another thing, most drivers use the brakes far too often and too violently.
 
 throttle exclusively tkeeping the throttle on the wheel at low position) he will soon find that his engine makes the finest kind of brake. When the foot is removed from the throttle the engine will immediately slow down; naturally if the clutch is left in, the momentum of the car will be checked gently, and without wear on any parts. A good driver, who practices this. ac- quires the habit readily and soon finds that he need use the brakes very rare ly except for actual stops.
 "In descending hills this same stunt can be applied. If the hill is quite steep. the car can be put in second speed and the brakes applied lightly. On long sloping grades, it is an excel lent practice to throw out the clutch and shut off the motor entirely, all lowing the car to coast. This allows the engine to cool, and besides saving fuel makes for smooth running.
 "There is one other thing that every motorist should make almost part of his religion, and that is never to slight fabrication. Without proper oiling and sreasing no car in the world will last as long as it should. The thing to dc is to follow the instruction book that comes with the car to the letter"

TRAINS IF TRUCKS
 TELL STORY OF WAR

"The driveaways and the great numbers of trucks and closed touring cars being built in the east are the most striking things that stand out to a casual observer" said R. D. Roper of the Roper Motor company. distri- butor of the Maxwell and Chalmers, who recently returned from a two weeks trip through the heart of the automobile manufacturing centers of tho country
 Everywhere you go you run into immense trains of Liberty trucks with their loads heading for the east coast. They present a very martial appear ance, covered with their drab colored canvas and painted a drab color, and with the crew of two soldiers with each truck.
 ''Driveaways of all makes of cars are the order of the day and the astonish- ing thing is the large percentage of closed cars that are being built and sold. Many complete trains of closed sedans left Detroit and other eastern points for drives of hundreds of miles before their final destination was reached.
 There is a veritable hum of activity through the Chalmers and Maxwell plants. War orders and car ordgs combined tax every department to the full limit

MARVIN SMITH HAS
 SOME OCEAN TRIP

Marvin Smith who left here with contingent for Camp Funston early in the summer is in Canadian hospital whence he has written home of his experiences so far as he had got. On the eve of sailing for France he was visited by his parents in New York. He writes: T was with them ahout o'clock one afternoon and told them l would be back to see them that even ing. But when I got back to camp had orders to move so didn't have time to tell them good bye. Went on board a transport. an Australian frozen beef boat. It had an all English crew, mostly boys and old men. I cousdn't understand their talk for a long time bloody this and blooming, bloody that all the time.
 "Oh, how sea sick I got I think 1 threw up the moon. drew a hammock but couldn't get into it, so slept on

HARMON
 SEVERELY TESTED
 .0|V ECONOMY RUN

In an economy contest held under A. A. A. sanction from Los Angeles, 3S2 miles, to Yosemite National park. a Marmon 34 sedan entered by Al. G. Faulkner, California Marmon distrib- utor, finished in perfect condition With a gasoline economy average of 1512 miles to the gallon.
 This was considered the severest official test eveS conducted in which closed car was entered in a contest conducted under A. A. A. sanction and rules. Although the economy run was held in midsummer heat in California and the route led over a summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the 34 Sedan did not use a drop of extra Wa ter and but one quart of oil was con- sued in the distance.
 The car with full complement Of passengers, touring equipment and baggage weighed 5000 pounds. was a regular stock production job through out touring car of another make finished first followed closely by the Marmon sedan and followed by a sedan of another make.
 The ability of the Marmon closed car to compete with touring cars and to beat their economy averages be- cause of scientific lightweight con- struction, superb engineering and the wonderful aluminium motor was never more graphically demonstrated than by this economy run, which will put the finishing stroke to that ancient myth that closed cars are fit only for city and boulevard use.
 Fifteen and half miles per gallon with but one quart of oil consumed and no extra water used in the 3S2- mile route, 90 miles of which were in the high attitudes of the Sierra Ne vadas where the average car bois even in the coolest weather is a record seldom equalled by a stripped chassis to say nothing Of a regular touring car. That this was accomplished by Mar mon 34 sedan in A. A. A. conducted contest puts the final o. K. on the Marmon slogan, advanced engineer ing.

HOGS COME IN LARGER NUMBERS
THAN TRADE HAD REASON
TO EXPECT.
TRADE SLOW AND MOSTLY
AT DECLINE OF CENTS
Offerings Of Cattle Not Excessive and
Prices Rule Steady-Range Constant
ly Narrowing, Poorer Grades Show
ing Greatest Advance-Sheep Ar
rivals Just Meet Demands.

Chicago, March 12-Larger receipts
of hogs than had been looked for had
a depressing effect today on values.
While the eleven markets Thursday
had 5000 more hogs than a week ago,
Chicago increased 1880 against de-
crease of 1000 at ST Louis and 5000
decrease at the four Missouri river
markets, compared with the previous
Thursday.
TIE eleven points increased $4,000
over the corresponding Thursday
year ago. Chicago alone increased e.
100, while st. Louis decreased 2,10o
and the four Missouri river markets
decreased $500.
A combined total of $4,000 at the
eleven markets the first four days OF
this week stood $4,000 larger than q
week ago and that many larger than
than a week ago and $4,000 more than
a year ago.
Cattle
Offerings Of cattle >did not appear
excessive.
Spread in cattle prices is rapidly
narrowing, and Steers selling much be-
low sl1.0O are daily getting scarcer.
while the proportion under s11.50 also
is exceedingly short.
Demond continues broadest, week in
and week out for the medium to fair
grades, although at times the better
kinds take a squirt only to fall back
again.
A much narrower spread than at
present is expected in months to come.
regardless of whether prices hold
above where they are or work higher.
Naturally the best lots will continue
to command some premium, but unless
something unforeseen happens this
premium will be much smaller than in
other years.
The government is after volume
rather than quality, and the cattle
feeder for the period OF the war I'M
doubtedly will fare better by feeding
stock only up to a fair dgree in quality
rather than to attempt to make it fin
ished and heavy.
The man who markets his cattle be-
fore they become strictly prime natur-
ally gets quicker returns on his invest
ment and at the same time takes les
ser risks giving him chance to feed
more stock within a year.
Normal years find the grade Of cattle
which is scarcest .bring ing in the most
profits, but since the high time last
September conditions have been rev.
ersed. and unfortunately the cattle
finisher has not enjoyed very salts
factory season. ~
Probably as long as the war con-
tinues a much smaller number of fin
ished heavy animals will be required
than ever before, and for that reason
the cattle feeder must give more time
to the palmer kinds if he Is to get sat
isfactory profits.
Sheep.
Sheep arrivals were no larger than
the demand.

Chicago, March 15.-Liberal receipts
and weather favorable for the crop
movement led TO further declines to-
day in the corn market. Absence Of
shipping outlets to the east counted

with March at sl.274 and May at sl.26
@s126H, were followed by a material
drop.

Chicago, March 15.-Corn-F'utures
sold off early but rallied with oats and
again weakened towards the close I'M
der practically the same influences. A
better demand prevailed in the sample
market where industries were good
buyers. Shippers took * cars of
choice grade corn but there was no
evidence that the embargo on the
movement east had been lifted. Re-
ceipts were fairly liberal and notices Of
consignments continue to come from
the country. The moisture content of
the receipts continues TO show a steady
reduction.
Oats-After a sharp initial break on
liquidation and the reaching OF stop
loss orders, oats rallied and advanced
to we'll above yesterdays finish. Buy
ing by shorts and houses with eastern
connections was the principal influ-
ence, altho seaboard exporters were
after cash grain and bid 11@uA

half hour Of trading a drastic break
followed and final prices were at in

Getting Rid Of Colds,

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid Of cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years. and its
value fully proved. No matter what
remedy you use. however. care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one and there is serious danger
of this. A man Of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better to stay
in bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on.-Adv.
