Is it natural for my motor to misfire in high when 1 first start out? It seems to run alright in second for awhile if I run the motor fast but otherwise it does not pull at all.-Seth B.
 You do not mention the temperature of the air. All engines are apt to act queerly in cold weather. Misfiring is to be expected when the engine is pull ing hard because the fuel is so heavy in the cold that the engine does not get much and that which it gets is almost liquid and has little power in it when fired. Keep the choker on for a while after starting but not too long. You have to wait until the engine gets warm before it will run smoothly

That the closed car is in vogue is shown by the many that are in use n all parts of the country.
 Women particularly were quick to acknowledge the advantages of the closed car which is adaptable to all kinds of weather, warm in winter and cool in summer.

 Welding certainly is satisfactory in both cases. However, why not file the keyWay and use a larger key?

NURSE RESERVES
Twenty-Five Thousand Women Wanted
to Enroll in the United States Stu
dent Nurse Reserve-Fulton's Quota
Is Twelve.

Uncle Sam is calling for $4,000
heaICny young women between the
ages of 19 and 35 years to hold them
selves in readiness to train for serv-
ice as nurses as fast as the training
schools can take care of them. These
are to release the nurses already
trained for war work to be ready for
future emergencies in war if neces-
sary; otherwise, in civil life. The de-
mand is increasing so rapidly that
Chere is no danger of a surplus of
nurses after the war.
Fulton county has been given a
quota of II nurses and is carrying
on an active campaign this week with
gratifying results.
Some have enrolled and others are
planning to do so.
There will be a meeting of all
young women interested at the Lii
orary Friday evening, August 9.
Surely our girls are as patriotic
as our boys.

INCREASING THE
rArT- On


VALUE OF OUR MONEY
If by putting a dollar away some
where and saving it, it had become
two dollars in a short time, even the
careless, easygoing, American people
might have developed the habit of
thrift. Four per cent, six or seven
or eight per cent, has not been suffi-
cient inducement tc lead US to for
swear the enjoyment of spending
whatever we had at the time on what
ever appealed to US as an object of
expenditure.
We have been learning little
something about the possibilities of
saving during the last fifteen months.
The call of our country's needs made
an appeal to US which mere prudence
could not. And we have learned that
it can be done; that Liberty Bonds
bought in an impulse of patriotic
self-sacrifce can be paid for out of
our regular income without much no
ticeable sacrifice at all; that we/can
make various contributions we would
have though large in proportion to
our wealth, and still get along just
about as comfortably as ever.
Il
But there is one thing which has
not even yet been sufficiently i'm
| pressed upon US. That is the tremen-
dous difference in the actual worth
of the money that we spend just now
and the money that we save.
We know that prices are abnormal
| " high, which means that the value
of money is reduced. But we don't
seem to take that knowledge fully into
our consciousness.
The dollar that a man spends to-
day is worth about what 65 cents was
worth in normal times. But the dol
lar that he SAVES is worth what
the dollar was worth in those times;
! because it will still be in his posses
sion when normal times return, and
its purchasing power will be then
Just what it used to be-more than
half again what it is today. He may
invest it in Liberty Bonds; he may
put it anyhere that means absolute
security, and that increase in value
will come automatically, aside from
the interest on it.
It is really pretty easy thing
nowadays to save any ten dollars. 1t
buys so little in the market that one
doesn't have to give up much in order
to save it. But it is worth consider
able when it is put somewhere that
! will allow its being spent few years
! from now.
, There is certainly a tremendous
, inducement to increase the proper
: ton of ones income that he saves
= and keep it safely in his own pos
5 session while it climbs up and up in
2 value.
e Today is the savers great oppor-
{ tunity.

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack of
ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane
sugar isolated in far away ports.
GranuIated sugar, home grown was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal, fixed by governmental order,
was $104 to SLIP a pound.
By comparison the price OF beet
sugar in Sweden is IA cents a pound

THE SEGRIsT FAMILY
OUR BELOVED ~. .. A.

We love this land-our land of Freedom
We will guard, protect its rights
This land is ours-the gift of Heaven
Its valleys broad and mountain heights.
Our Flag proclaims unbroken Union
Every state CLEANS 'mong its stars
And doom will find the villain alien
Who'd defile its glowing bars.
Let no intruding base usurper,
Tho by heritage he's crowned
Dream he rule this land of Freedom
1t is consecrated ground.
Its rule is of and by and for the People
Sacred pledge to every birth
And this, our fathers solemn compact,
"Shall not perish from the Earth"
Every that reaches manhood
Feels he's part of power that reigns;
His Country's call he answers bravely-
Loving pride thrills thru his veins
While contemplating all her blessings
Stores of wealth so manifold
Rich fields of Scientific treasures
Governed gems and mines of gold.
And these were opened by, and for the People
Equal rights were given all;
Justice paved the ways for Progress
Barred all doors to tyrant thrall.
Minds that thronelings would have humbled-
Made them slaves to titled ones,
Felt the soul of Genius prompting
And, guided by that Spirit bent
That with each free-born soul is sent,
They're now 'mong earth's most honored son.
The Central Powers would have dominic
Over every Land and Sea,
But farther from the caves primeval,
Men determined to be FREE.
, And we with patriot devotion
Give Democracy full sway
Will give our help to worldwide Nations
If allied with U. S. A.

NEW JOB FOR SCHOOL sAMMIf

To the School Sammy army of
Ohio has been assigned new job.
This is the work of seeing that
War Savings Stamp pledges given
during June are redeemed.
State War Savings headquarters
has agreed that the School Sammies
can render the War Savings move
ment in Ohio a valuable service by
constantly reminding individuals to
buy stamps to the amount of their
pledges. They are asked to secure
an increase over the amount the in
dividual promised to pay.
That the War Savings Stamp
pledge gives to the stay-at-homes an
opportunity for service, is the call
sounded by the Ohio War Savings
Committee. In order to give ade-
quate support to the 100000 men
under arms, these promises to buy
should not be repudiated nor neg
| lected.
To the local W. S. S. committee
has been delegated the task of the
follow-up on pledges given during the
June Offensive" Many of these
county organizations have peculiarly
local plans for "cashing" on these
pledges. Not a few are utilizing the
School Sammy organization in thi
/ work.

HIST FOR LICK

Port Royal, S. C.-Instead of "toss-
ing their hats in the ring" the U. S.
Marines now toss 'em in the water.
Tossing their hats in the ocean for
luck was adopted as one of the Ma
rine customs when gust of wind
snatched the chapeau of a recruit
while he was crossing the bay off
Paris Island, S! c., the Marines
training camp. The ''lid" sailed
gracefully OUT into space and was
soon bobbing merrily on the dancing
waves.
Taking the accident as cue "just
for luck" the remainder of the re-
cruits Immediately sailed their hats
out into the deep and the bay was
soon dotted with hundreds of straw
hats.
The boys "passed the word" and
now no recruit can expect to have
good luck unless he has cast his hat
upon the receding tide.

$3.50 WHEAT RULE
IS STILL IN FORCE

Release of the public eating places
from their "no wheat" pledge does
not mean that they are privileged to
use wheat flour without substitutes.
The U. S. Food Administration in
Ohio has received reports that some
proprietors of public eating places
are violating the rules which require
the use of 33 1-3 per cent of wheat
flour substitutes in all sweet goods
baked and served and 25 per cent of
wheat -four substitutes in all bread
and rolls.
These regulations are still effective
and must be. strictly adhered to, the
Food Administration announced.
Householders are still held to the
$3.50 rule in the purchase of wheat
-four.
While we have more wheat avail
able for shipment now from our
abundant harvest, it is the policy OF
the Food Administration to continue
the conservation regulations in order
to build up a reserve for future lear
yea1s.
