Are OUR SUM-
DAYS GASLESS?

The "Caslcss Sunday" ruling has
doubtless saved millions Of gallons
of gasoline throughout the United
States, however, we are sorry 70 say
there are few who fail to observe
the order. No doubt it works hard
ship on some. but we must bear in
mind the fact that every airplane we
hope to put in the Hun fray must
have gasoline and unless We con
serve the supply we may be forced to
lock up our tin hzzies for several
months in order to permit the sur
plus to accumulate. Garrard county
people have not been strict observers
of the spirit Of the gasoline order.
some taking advantage of the church
going subterfuge to operate their
machines on Sundays.
Last Sunday the writer saw more
machines on the streets Of Lancaster
than he saw in the city of Louisville
the Sunday before. Are the people
of Louisville more patriotic than the
good people of Lancaster?
There are machine owners within
the city limits of Lancaster and some
who live within two squares Of the
church, who could walk, yet they
come in their cars. This is a bad
example, for strangers don't know
who are the owners and from what
distance they live from the church.
There is little that can be said in ex-
cuse or justification of the above
cases and the drivers and owners of
the cars that were out last Sunday
are receiving their just share of the
public's disapproval.
The Government request to the
public to conserve gasoline, is just
and reasonable, and can work hard
ship on no one. Our neighboring
cities are observing the ruling to the
letter and where car is seen = on
Sunday they are stopped and asked
their reason for being out. The rea-
son is noted, the number of the car
is taken down. Will this have to be
done in Lancaster, or will the peo-
pie observe the spirit of the gasoline
ruling
The gasoline used on Sunday may
be the means Of saving the lives of
many Of our boys at the front or it
may hasten the end Of the war. Let
every auto owner in Garrard county
ask himself the question "Is il nee
essary"? before he cranks his car on
morning.
Let him compare his present life
OF ease with the hazards and hard
ships now being experienced by our
boys in France, and then, if he feels
that he can not make the sacrifice
and his conscience can be at ease in
his machine on Sunday, even though
he is going to church, then let him
ridei
