GOOD GAS RECORD

Exceptionally high mileage for an auto
mobile has been obtained by George r.
Hill of Syracuse, n. Y, with 1919, Model
| G, four cylinder Franklin roadster. Since

coo miles, or average OF nearly 3i,ov
miles per season. !.
Mr.. Hill originally used the car for
pleasure purposes, but at present has con-
verted it into a light delivery truck. He
has a late model that he uses for pleas
ure and apparently his commercial needs
are cared for for a long time to come.
Despite it's age the car has averaged al
ways better than 20 miles to the gallon
of gasoline and for the last three years,
or since an accurate account has heen
kent ii has averaged % miles on every
gallon of gasoline used. This includes
short trips on delivery through city traf-
fic and occasional long deliveries to

PAIGE DEALER VISITS
FACTORY BY AIRPLANE
Flies From Milwaukee to Detroit for
Important Business Engagement

Harry DeBoer of Milwaukee had bust
ness in Detroit and Toledo last week
and. as time was precious. decided to
make his trip in the most expeditions
way possible. Consequently Mr. DeBoer
hoped off in an airplane andt flew di-
rectly to all three cities, thus completing
perhaps the longest airplane trip yet
made for purely business purposes
Mr.. DeBoer is secretary of the Osmond
Motor Car company of Milwaukee, dis
tributors of Paige cars in that territory,
and his method of travelling indicates
that business men are really considering
the airplane not merely a sport or
war machine, but serious racror o.
transportation and one that is especially
desirable when time is an important ele-
ment
Mr. DeBoer's main purpose was to con-
tract for a large allotment of Paige
cars and he had similar business IN
Toledo and Cleveland. He left Milwaukee

in Toledo at 4:3O that afternoon, cover

made at a height of from $500 to $500
feet in and out of clouds and strong
head and side winds were encountered,
Mr. DeBoer and Lieutenant Overly
hoped off from Toledo at 10:15 Wednes
day morning. arrived at the government
field in Cleveland at 1l:55 clock. They
left Cleveland at 3:45 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon, arrived at Toledo at 5:15, left
Toledo at $40 the same afternoon and
arrived in a grain field near Wyandotte
at 6.25, being unable to make out Morrow
field, Detroit, where they had intended
to land.
Mr. DeBoer transacted his business at
the Paige factory Thursday morning
and flew back to Milwaukee Saturday.
The plane used is one of the fleet be-
longing to the l.. d. Frint Aeronautical
company of Milwaukee, concern that
operates airplanes for business purposes

mobile men in England and France, and
Mr.. Jordan's reputation as an authority

When J. G. W. Smith a few days

banker to invest $4,000 for him in
his limit in Treasury Savings Certi-

of success under depressing circum-

Smith, several years ago bought
farm for $4,000 making small
payment down and giving his note
for the balance. 1t was not long un-
til he found the farm had been sold
to him on misrepresentation. He
could not evade the sale however,
and SO he planted an orchard.
The note came due before the or
chard came into bearing, however,
but his showing got an extension on
the paper.
Last month the farm with the fine
young orchard, sold for $4,000,

Great Reason for eIadn.ss

The day set apart for Thanksgiving
for the blessings of the year is a day
when the nation is invited to inspect
the tapestry Of time and to see how
steadfastly and how gratifying the old
weaver has used the loom for the pic
ture of American contentment and
American happiness and American
hope. Into the picture enters no pub
lie calamity, into it enters no wide
spread want. Thus the nation has
great reason for gladness, that it can
hang upon the walls of civilization the
picture that has been wrought out as
the picture Of American life from the
busy weave of the multitude Of indi-
viduals who make up that life.
