PACKARD SERVICE
 AMAzES PURCHASER

Sometimes a purchaser will buy an article with one or two qualities de- finitely in mind and later find him self agreeably surprised by the turning up of valuable trait, of performance or service, which he had not considered when he bought.
 An illustration is afforded in the ex- perience of W. H. Booth of Shreveport, La, with his new Packard touring car Safe, comfortable and swift transpor- tation were in MT. Booths mind when he bought. Now. according to letter to George R. Bury, assistant general sales manager. he discovers that he also got marked economy of operation. Mir. Booth is the sort of owner who likes to log his trips and chart the per formances of his car, so in his letter he produces the exact figures He says his car has run $500 miles. and the tires look as though they will be in service for several thousand miles to come.
 AS to gasoline" says Mir. Booth. q | have kept an accurate register from the first and my average about town | has been 10 miles to the gallon. while country driving has yielded an easy average of 12 miles to the gallon The efficiency of the motor was much em- | phasized on a recent gulf coast trip of SIS miles on 5 gallons of gasoline The
 last S5 miles of the run was through
 soggy roads heavy with two days rain
 or I'd be able to report 13 to IA miles l to the gallon. On one stretch we made i 15 1-3 miles on a gallon.
 "The comfort and service of the 1 Packard are accepted and understood
 it deserves it's reputation. Now 1 find it is not only more comfortable than previous cars I have owned but cer-
 tainly more economical to operate.'

MOTOR GAR METHOD

 SPREADING WIDELY

"The recent order of the United States Railroad commission which ad- vanced passenger and freight rates. and also curtailed the extra baggage privilege strikes the commercial traveller the hardest of all" says Man. ager Greth of the Phoenix Motor com pany, distributor of Studebaker cars in Phoenix and vicinity.
 Never in. the history of the com mercial world has the travelling man had to battle against such a handicap as is now imposed upon him by the necessity of Uncle Sam at war Not alone does the increased rate advance the. expenses of the road man consider ably, but his chief difficulty will be in getting proper train connection and the shipping of his excess baggage. Even though he leaves behind all articles and samples which are not absolutely necessary. he will still find it hard to get his trunks properly shipped, be- sides the annoyance of transfer com panies which are overcrowded with l contract work and are unable to care | for the traveller in their usual prompt | manner.
 "The commercial traveller is. I be- | lieve, one of the most important fac l tors in our economic existence. In 1 Germany where many occupations have totally disappeared in the com
 mercial world, the travelling man is 1 still very much in evidence And ac- | cordng to those with authority to speak from first hand knowledge, you
 will find the representatives of Teu-
 ton commercial houses as frequently in
 neutral countries now as you did be-
 fore the war.
 ''The automobile is the solution for
 the knight of the grip-the one avail | able means of transportation that is
 still open and ready to serve without any regard for distance. Not that the automobile is an innovation to the

STRANGE DEATH CAUSED FLOCkS

More Speculation About the Disappearance Of Ptarmigans Near
 Nome.

NOME, Feb 18-)By Mail) - Ptarmigans, which for years abound ed in far northwestern Alaska, have suddenly become decreased in mum bers, and, in some localities, have disappeared entirely according to 9 letter received here from w. B. Var Valin, who is conducting investiga tiors at Point Barrow, Alaska, for the University of Pennsylvania Mu scum
 MT. Van Valin questioned the Ma tive Eskimos regarding the disap pearance of the birds. ''I asked Long John about the Ptarmigan,' ' the letter said He replied there used to be many but now very few and added that last year people re ported large numbers of the birds were found dead in the snow in the Interior To my inquiry as to what killed them he said, Maybe him nose indicating they smelled some thing that killed them It is, or rath- CT, seems quite plausible that il was an epidemic of some sort that greatly reduced their numbers."

Universal Peace

The announcement of the END of
the War" by news service of the coun-
try was like touching a match to the
universe. Everyone was infamed at
the instant it was announced and
everybody rejoiced in the fullness of
this knowledge. NV what a relief
end joy-Friend and Foe alike re-
joiced. If such a thing is possible
Germany and her allies rejoyce the
most. What a change the result of
this war is going to bring to them.
Freedom from Militarism and the
trying conditions of Dynasty. When
they know and enjoy the full fruitage
of Republican form of Government
in which the people have a voice and
control, then will theyknow the truth
and rejoyce
While the loss in life and property
in this war has been great the future
blessings to the world in improved
conditions of all the people in the
world may in part recompense for the
sacrifice that has been made, at least
we shall hope so.
The Great Victory that has been
won by the Allies, in which America
had creditable part, will ever prove
that the American people are lust
and fair and when they determine
to accomplish a great good to man
kind, they can be depended upon to
perform it.
Every American citizen is proud
of its Army and Navy and the wond-
erful assistance it has given her AL
lies in mastering the enemy in her
attempt to establish permanent au-
tocracy in the world The downfall
OF Germany is complete and her
people will enjoy untold blessings in
the future. This country's part has
been glorious one.

The United War Work Fund

The union of seven of the agencies
that supply comforts to the soldiers
at the front and at the environments
is one of the finest developments of
this war. 1t seems as if the golden
age had come to see Protestants and
Catholics and Hebrews and Salvation
Army forgetting their sectarian diff
ferences, and joining tremendously in
one common and glorious cause.
The campaign to raise $170, 100000
for the various war work funds is
organized to put some comforts and
touch of friendship within reach Of
everyone of our 100000 men now
under arms Thus we are spending
only about $3.50 per man on the dear
boys who are sacrificing their all for
us.
Isn't it worth $3.50 to this country
that a soldier shall risk his life and
endure untold suffering for the pro-
lection of us in our comfortable
homes? So let us dig deep and be
glad and proud to do this little for
those who are doing so much.
