QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
FOR MOTORISTS

Q. What grade of gasoline should
1 use in my car?
A. The best you can obtain.
Q. Will a poor grade of gasoline
run my car as we'll as better grade? ?
A. no. 1t will give you less mile
age, cause poor ignition, produce
smoke, increase carbon deposits, and
prove unsatisfactory in every way.
@. What is "stale" gasoline?
A. Gasoline that has been left ex-
posed to air until it's lighter constitu-
ents have escaped, leaving only a
residue unfit for use in a motor.
@. How. can tell the grade of
gasoline?
A. Pour little on your hand, and
If it cvaporates rapidly and leaves the
hand dry and clean, it is acceptable: ::
II it evaporates slowly and leaves a
greasy deposit, it should be rejected.
q. Is there any way to increase the
explosive power Of gasoline?
A. Yes. SPEEDOLINE will make
it vaporize more thoroughly and be-
come a quicker explosive.
Q. What is SPEEDOLINE?
A. 1t is liquid preparation to put
in gasoline that increases its explo-
sive power, making the motor require
a fourth less gasoline; it also acts a.
a heat-ressting lubricant, and al2o
dissolves carbon in the upper cham

Herr Pickle, my host, spent last
week at Essen, that is where the great

is funny to think we are right in
Germany and how little we really
know about the conditions. You
know a great deal more about condi-
tions here than we do. The papers

CLAUD COTTER WINS
 THE POSTMASTERSHIP
RECEIVES NOTICE HE MADE THE HIGHEST GRADE IN CIVIL SERv. ICE EXAMINATION HELD EAST AUGUST IN FORREST CITY.

Announcement was made in Wash. ington several days ago that Claud Cotter, brother of Sheriff Arthur Cot ter, had been appointed postmaster at Marianne by President Wilson up- on recommendation of the civil serv- ice division of the federal postoffice department. The appointment is made to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of E. H. McMurry as postmaster last June A civil serv- ice examination was held at Forrest City in August, there being five ap- plicants for the position MT. Cotter received information more than two months ago that he made the highest grade and would be appointed imme- diately upon the return of President Wilson from Europe When the presi- dent was in Washington last week he made the appointment with nearly one thousand other appointments to postoffice positions, but the republi- can flibuster in the senate during the closing days of the session prevented a confirmation of the appointments, hence it is probable Mir. Cotter will not get his commission until after the president returns from his second trip to France upon the conclusion of the peace treaty If the president calls an extra session of congress to pass upon the peace treaty, the nom- nations will be confirmed. If no ex- tra session is called. the appointments will not be confirmed until the regu- lar session next December. MT. Cot ter had expected to take over the local postoffice within the next thirty days, and in consequence had resign ed his position as accountant for the Miller Lumber Company. He is an exceptionally competent young man and his friends predict he will make the city a splendid postmaster and will put the service on a better basis
 E. F.. McMurry, who was appointed temporary postmaster upon the resig- nation of his brother, F. H. McMurry, will hold the office until MT. Cotter qualities.
 Another effect of the republican fll- ibuster, and one that will cause re- gret here, is the failure of the senate to pass the appropriation bill that carried an item of $4O,000 for the construction of new postoffice building here. This means a delay of at least a year in starting work on the new building.

After serving time in camps in Texas he was transferred to Camp Pike where he was promoted to a captaincy and was made battalion ad- jutant in the officers training school at Camp Pike His particular work was inspection of the sanitary con ditions surrounding his battalion. Upon his return to Marianna recent ly he associated himself with his brother, w. A.

 q want to be mayor of the city of Marianna. feel that I am qualified for the position There are many things that need attention, such as sanitary conditions, water, lights, streets, etc. My reason for wanting the office is that I think there is a chance for the man who remedies these things to make a reputation, and as I am ambitious l would like the opportunity to establish myself. The salary is nominal one, and were it not for the opportunities, the position would not be one to be de- sired. Furthermore, if l did not in tend to put forth my best efforts to serve the city, it would be better that I not run, as it would be det- riment rather than help.
 'I therefore ask you to take the matter under careful consideration and use your own judgment.
