dwindling and futile as it is, was
a fatal bringer of disaster to
Germany, As for Lieut.. Com
mander Schweiger's Kaiser, he
is a neurotic, with an magma
ton. As defeat thickens, as Ill
innate ruin gathers visibly a.
round him, what ceaseless gnaw-
ing regrets, what sleepless fears
for his precious House, must be-
set him. He is no fool. He can
suffer. What does he think of
the Lusitania, of his whole sub
marine fee-faw-fum? What does
he think of st. Helena as an inn
perial all-the-year villa? Yes,
the Kaiser is neurotic. When
doubts of his divinity occur to
the god, who shall salve his van
Iity? When a world-dominator
finds the world indomitable
against him, how is he to get
out Of the scrape? We may as
sumo that Schweiger was stolid.
The Kaiser, not from
remorse, but from disappoint-
ment, is likely enough to get
more than a little installment OF
punishment, pride abased, swoll-
en- ambitions pricked, something
like "Hell on earth Which is
lucky for him. The Prince OF

to draw the line somewhere. Pre-.

cry Purchase of Sugar.
Retail grocers in the state
have been instructed by the Mis-
souri, Division of the Food Adj
mnistration to keep a record of
all sugar sales to prevent re-
pe2ters from buying more than
their allowance.
Several cases have been report
ed to the State Food Admins
tration OF unpatriotic persons
making five and six 2-pound pur-
.chases of sugar a day at differ
emit grocery stores. In each in
stance the purchaser has been
required to return the excess.
If such a practice should be-
come general, the rationing plan
of the Food Administration
would be upset, according to f.
B. Mumford, federal food admin
istrator for Missouri, as the
state has been allotted a certain
amount of sugar on the basis of
two pounds a person a month.
In order to keep a check on
would-be hoarders, the plan has
been adopted of requiring all
grocers to keep a record Of every
sugar sale. Many grocers are do
ing this on their own initiative.
These records must be accessi-

tors that they may investigate

CHEVROLET DEALER POINT :
OUT HOW CAR AFFORDS
QUICK TRAVEL.

Stop for moment and think Of
what it would mean if we did not
have passenger automobiles to use.
What would we do for a quick meth
cd of transportation? Where could
we find satisfactory substitute?"
asks Burton Troxell of the Capital
Transit & Repair Co.. local Chevrolet
dealers.
I'VE look upon the railroad as an
important method of transportation"
he continued. but, as fact, it is
restricted compared with the automo-
bile. The automobile will take you
to places that the railroad cannot
reach. Each automobile owner has
in reality a private railroad, and in
addition, he is his own timetable.
The automobile gives it's purchasers
a travel independence that is we'll
nigh complete.
without the automobile, the
world would almost come to stand
still. What would the doctor, the

of commercial pursuits?
But, and perhaps most important
of all, what would the farmer do
without his car?
For him the automobile has been
a transformation. 1t would be an
absurdity to call the automobile the
farmer uses a pleasure car. 1t
would be as logical as to call the
reaper. or any piece of farm ma

In great many cases that la

rarely wait.
Unless taken, they seek the
man who is ready for them. and
that man is the one who has
saved enough to be ready with.
If you have had opportunities
