Car for Business Trips.

More and more during the past year
have owners utilized their cars for
business trips of so to 800 miles be-
fore the railroad rate increase. For
instance. a trip from Cleveland. Ohio,
to Washington. D. c., via rail previ-
ously cost s12.20; while under the new
fare schedule a similar trip will cost
S17.25.
Large corporations and jobbers who
have provided automobiles for their
statesmen, as well as those consider
ing this departure as a means of
transportation for their field repre-
sentatives. will enlarge passenger car
sales materially by their friends.
Owners of motor cars who annual
1y take extensive summer vacation
trips on railroad trains will think
twice this year before passing up a
vacation via motor. For example, a
family of four would pay in round
trip railroad fare.for a distance of
100 miles $24.00, pfhs. probably, Pull
man. city street car fare and bag
gage transfer: while the both-ways
cost via motor car, figuring cost of
gasoline, wear of tires and deprecia-
imately $40 for the entire family.
This is the average estimated cost,
considering all types and sizes OF auto
mobiles.
Then the matter OF health is a
strong point in favor of the motor
vacation trip. The highway route
avoids the dirt and cinders of railway
coaches; the stuffy. crowded accom-
modations resulting from scores of
passenger coaches being removed on
most of the main travelled lines, and
the delays in getting to and from
railroad stations and changing trains
at terminal points.

MOTOR TRUCKS BOOSTED
| BY RAILWAY INCREASES
Transportation by Power Vehicles
| Encouraged by Added Cost Of
! Freight and Passenger Fares.

According to officials Of the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company. when,
June 10, by order OF the director gen.
eral of railroads. W. G. McAdoo, pas
senger rates jumped to cents mile
and a 25 per cent increase was at
tached to freight rates transportation
by motor vehicle received the greatest
boost since it became Obvious that
carriers other than steam driven
would be essential for effective releas-
ing OF national resources.
One Interpretation placed on the
action of Mr.. McAdoo is that the gov
ernment believes motor trucks are ca
pableof handling tremendous share
of the nations freight and that the in
crease Is to discourage shippers from
using valuable car space for trans
portation of products less essential
to the needs of the nation.
Manufacturers Encouraged.
Manufacturers of passenger cars
have also taken heart because the de-
of the automobile for travel Unless
an increase in the cost of gasoline or
sets the gain motor cars should be
used more than ever before.
A striking example of the immense
saving to shippers can be had from
these figures: If the shippers now
using motor trucks as carriers be-
tween New York and Philadelphia were
sending their tonnage, which amounts
to 100000 tons annually, over the rail-
roads instead of the highways, the re-
cent freight rate increase of the rail-
roads would tax them approximately
S450.00D more than they paid previous
]y. Motor trucks plying between these
two points carry the equivalent of 72O
Eox cars loaded to $4,000 pounds ca
pacity, or 36.000.000 pounds each week;
GAO trucks operating between these
two cities make a total of 1920 trips
week.
Probably even greater than the i'm
petuss ssto4the motor truck industry will
be Che effect un the passenger car
business Business and professional
men will make short business trips
by automobile on larger scale than
ever before. Fewer trains and con-
veniences for the travelling public will
cause thousands to switch over to the
highways and passenger cars.

where substituting is permitted, to
say nothing of the injustice to makers
of good goods and the disappointment
of customers.

MORE WHEAT BUT DON'T BE
WASTEFUL.

In another column of to-day's paper
will be found an official statement an
nouncing the change of the government
regulations regarding the purchase and
use of wheat throughout the United
States 1t win be noticed that on and
after Sept. it will be permitted to buy
wheat and substitutes in the proportion
Of four and one instead Of pound for
pound, as has been in vogue for many
months That is, the purchaser need
take only a pound of the substitutes to
four pounds of wheat. This change in
the government regulation will come as
welcome relief to nearly all the popu-
lation of the country, for it is to be as
sumed that nearly all the people have
been patriotic enough to follow the spir-
it and the letter Of the restrictions as to
the purchase and the use of wheat AS
we understand it, there is not enough
wheat reserve to permit the American
people to be wasteful in the use of
wheat; we must still exercise reasonable
caution and use substitutes approximate
ly to the extent Of the proportion al.
lowed in purchase We shouldn't spoil
what we have accomplished in months Of
sbnegation.

YOUNG GIRL FoRGER.
Elizabeth Taft Of Burlington Was Placed
on Probation.

Burlington, Aug. pa l4.year old
forger, who went at the business like an
ldtimer, was in city court yesterday
afternoon when Elizabeth Taft of 2l
Elmwood avenue pleaded guilty to forg-
ing and cashing three checks. She was
released on probation with sentence
of the remainder Of her minority in the
industrial school at Vergennes in case
she violates the provisions Of the pro-
baton.
The Taft girl took the checks from
the office Of the Kent Ice Cream com
pany. They were drawn on three differ
ent people in the employ Of the concern
and none had been endorsed. The total
amount was in the vicinity of $50.
Elizabeth then went to work on them
and first endorsed them with the name
of the person to whom they were made
out and then endorsed them herself. No
attempt was made to disguise the hand
writing, but some erasures of the names
that were first placed on the checks made
the writing look so different that cas-.
ual glance would not reveal the fact
that it was done by the same hand, She
then went to three different stores and
cashed them.
In one store she bought two shirts
for her father In another she paid bill
that her mother owed and in another she
bought some clothes for her sister She
had been working as nurse girl at the
salary Of $l,75 per week and explained
the fact that she had received the mon,
ey that way.
The persons who paid the money for
the checks all expressed desire to
Grand Jury White that she be placed on
probation. Her father stated in court
that she had never troubled him before
and Judge Stearns gave her another OPP
portunity to walk the straight path.

SAY COY. GRAHAM
AGREED TO RESIGN
Members of Republican State Committee
Report That They Have Not Found
That He Has Done So.

Bellows Falls, Aug. 2o.--At the meet.
ing of the Republican state committee
held in Burlington Aug, l6, j. Rolf
Searles of st. Johnsbury, Chauncey S.
Skinner of Orleans and Harold E. Fair
child of Fairfield, all members of the
committee, were delegated to visit Gov
ernor Horace T. Graham and inform him
regarding the action of the committee on
requesting his resignation. They visited
the governor on Aug. IL and their report
to the committee was yesterday received
by its secretary, Colonel John e. Paddock
Of Saxtons River, Mr.. Paddock gives the
following synopsis;
The report in substance states that
the committee called on Governor Ora
ham on Saturday afternoon Aug II.
After long conference concerning the
situation and the question of Just how
the resignation should be made, the gov.
ernor said he did not wish TO resign I'M
til the Tuesday night following Aug. 20
in order that he might make some minor
appointments, not, as he expressed it,
that he wanted the opportunity to make
these appointments, but to avoid any
question of the legality of the same ii
made later. The report says the gov
ernor gave the committee his absolute
assurance that his resignation would be
rendered by Tuesday night, Aug. 20, at
the latest. The governor indicated that
he thought inasmuch as his oath of state,
that his resignation should be filed in
that Office. The report also states that
up to Aug. 26 the committee was unable
to find that the governor had presented
his resignation as promised. The com
mittee feel that they have done every
thing possible to voice the sentiments
and cary out the expressions Of confer.
ence held at Burlington on Friday, Aug.
10.
