STORAGE DEMANDS
CAREFUL ATTENTION

"One OF the really important phases
OF the auto question at present which
is being sadly neglected in many
cases, is the matter Of storage" says
Ray Harrel, OF the Harrell Auto COM
pany. With thousands OF men taken
TO the army, thousands Of autos in
various places must become idle
Pleasure cars must stop All this
means that autos must be stored
Cases have come to my attention
where the owners have put away their
cars apparently as If they were never
to be used again, without care to pro-
tect them from the weather and
probable VANDALISM. It is very prob
able that before the war is over we
shall have use for all kinds OF cars.
Therefore It is good business as wen

where there is certainty Of them being
protected and kept in good order Tor

Sacrifices Necessary.
Yes, we are up against the real
thing, and the only question is, regard
less of your race, your faith, your sta
ton In life. are you willing to face It
like people who are worthy to be freef
Will you hoard your money and take
your chance that providence win win
this fight for you and save 1t from the
Golfers of the German empire? Or will
you go In partnership with your gov
eminent and win 1t certainly, although
your incomes may thereby be lessened.
The latter think is the course OF con-
duct for the wise and patriotic man.
There lived In my town in Indiana a
man who for 40 years had been a
pillar in one of the prominent
churches. One day he left II and
Joined another. Upon being asked
what he thought of his new church, he
said 1t was just as good as the old one
and a little cheaper. That, ! think,
ought to be the attitude Of mind at the
present time. To be little poorer at
the close OF this war, and yet to feel
that your children and your children's
children are safe from the incursion OF
ambitious and bloodthirsty men Is just
as good as to take a chance on Heaven
winning this war for a people who are
willing TO win II for themselves, and
Will be, in my opinion, q good deal
cheaper.
To help finance this war is not only
duty, but it is a great privilege.
Heretofore you have been political
stockholders In this republic. Some Of
the evils Of our politics have arisen
from the fact that the interest Is pure
ly political and not financial. Now
you have a chance to become a fnan-
cial stakeholder In your country. The
war Of course will be financed, IL need
be, by the very rich Of the country, but
II ought not to be, in the interests Of
the good OF the country, for the debt
some time must be paid, and If you
will all take as many shares as you
can in this financial company Of yours,
II will tend TO prudence aud economy
In the administration of public affairs
In the future. IL Will lessen your
taxes. and you and your children as
you pay them will feel that you are
helping to pay yourselves rather than
helping TO pay persons who you be-
lieye have unjustly protited out of the
necessities of this war. You can pre-
vent anybody getting an undue finan-
cial advantage ont of the Indebtedness
which this people must contract, IL
you will do your best. II you will not
do your best, and prefer to keep for
needless luxuries your little earnings,
justice and fair dealing suggest that
you do not complain If the rich take
the obligations of your government.
No man has a right to growl when he
has had an equal chance with his fell
low men. Put up or shut up.
