 Automobile manufacturers and prepar- ing to put 2.s75 900 cars, including 25,VO0 commercial cars, on the market this year and allowing for % per cent replace ments, this would make the number in use in 1920 about s,615OO0. The average car consumes about 800 gallons, or 12S barrels of gasoline 8 year. This would mean that during 1920 at least 100000 900 barrels of gasoline must be produced by refineries for domestic consumption. Add to this 10,ooo,0o0 barrels, which will be needed for exports, which will be needed This Is an increase Of 100000 barrels over 1919.

PrOper-Sized Felloes Should Be Used Always
 On Larger Solid Tire

Some motor truck owners in order to get greater mileage out of their solid tires have been using tires of larger size than the standard oversize. The number of owners who follow this practice Is large, and the custom is commendable provided the wooden fell Joe and steel felloe band are of suffi- cient width to support the larger tire properly.
 If the felloe is not wide enough, the owner may find that the larger tire will not only fail to give him bet ter wear than a tire of the prescribed size. but that the rubber will break from the steel base and end his tires usefulness long before 1t has worn out.
 Because the rubber part of a tire rests on strong steel base, owners have taken 1t for granted that 1t was not necessary to widen the felloe. This is true up to the point where the overhanging on each side Is about one- half inch. But experience shows that where the overhang Is excessive, the usual strain on that part of the base which extends beyond the feiloe causes a bending in the steel base. This bending, while almost imperceptible, weakens the connection between the rubber and the base at an important point, and in nearly every case results in injury to the tire.
 Our recommendation when larger size tires than standard oversize are used says c. K. Whidden, manager of the solid tire department of the United States Tire Company, 'is that the wooden felloe and steel band be increased to a width sufficient to fur nish full support to the rubber part of the tire. The outer edge of the fel-
 loe should extend as far out as the
 outer edge of the rubber"

REPUBLIC TRUCK IS USED TO DISTRIBUTE
 TOBACCO TO MINERS

How quick and cheap deGveries are made possible by motor truck is shown by the stone -Ordean- Wells Company, wholesale groeers of Duluth. This firm makes strong selling efforts in the Mesaba Iron country and covers numberless small towns situated at the various mining locations. In or der to- furnish miners cigars, cigar cites and tobacco absolutely fresh q one-ton Republic truck. equipped with pneumatic tires was purchased and fitted with d special panel body. The interior of the body was carefully de- signed to carry a complete supply Of cigars and tobacco, go arranged that each brand could be reached without disturbing the entire load.
 This truck now makes weekly trips through the iron range towns. supply ing the storekeepers with fresh to- bacco stock. IL averages 25O miles CT week. and the Stone Ordean- Wells Company asserts that it not only as sures their customers fresh supplies of tobacco at all times. but that deliv- cry costs have actually been redueed The truck also serves as an adM .tisement for this enterprising firm and has helped considerably to develop their grocery trade

Goodyear Increase In
 January Is S10,000,00O
 Over Month Last Year

According to government statistics, the surplus of labor throughout the United States Is steadily decreasing. The condition of unemployment that followed in the wake of the war has been remieded to a large extent by the need for labor in western cities. To give some idea of the demand for labor in Akron. O.. the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company now has the larg est number of employees in Its history. There are 30,393 employees on it's pay roll in Akron alone. Indications are that this will be increased greatly when new extensions are completed, As an indication of the jump in business, the sales for the first month in 1920 were $1e.22S 900, as compared to total -of sS,9o0,000 in the same month of 1919.

GAS PRODUCTION

Increased Output of Auto. mobiles Means Greater
 Demand on Refineries

Gasoline production by refineries in the United States will have to be greatly in- creased during 1920 to meet the demand by motor vehicle and internal combus- ton engines. which showed larger rate of increase in 1919 than did gasoline. says the Wall Street Journal
 Refineries manufactured an estimated g., 10000 barrels of gasoline in 1919, an in crease of 100000 barrels, or per cent over 1918. The number of motor cars reg istered at the end of 1919 is estimated at 7,5o0.0o0, gain of 9 per cent for 1s1S This includes only passenger and commercial

It is very evident that the High
landers fail to show any class, the
snap and pep which team should
have is missing and further they have
failed to show any stickwork.
Individually most of our boys look
good, especially Names, Leonard,

pears as though they can't get started.
But no doubt that Manager Names
will get his team whipped in shape
soon and when they get agoing, no
telling what will happen. Some erat-
ic fielding and failing to take advan-
tage of opportunities was mainly re-
sponsible for yesterdays defeat. Slim
Scrieber was on the mound for the
locals and was touched up quite freely
but was very effective in pinches.
Davenport, one of the Smokers off
casts hurled good game and kept the
hits we'll scattered. Bugs Ery will be
on the slab for the Highlanders to-
day and chances are bright for the
first victory of the season.
