PACKARD FUEL|zER
 MUCH APPRECIATED
 BY O|L INDUSTRY

The present high cost of gasoline will be reduced and the supply will go much farther as a result of the lnven- ton of the Packard Fuelizer, many leading oil men of the country declare, if is pointed out by the Smith Vincent company. l6cal distributors for Pack ard cars. These advantages are in ad- dition' to those which come to the owner of a ear equipped with fuel izer through beIng able to use low grades of gasoline, and through belnS able to start the coldest motor in- stantly.
 Many officials of oil companies have written the Packard company to eN- press their appreciation of the new en- gineering triumph. The only regret expressed is that the fuelfZer IS an eA- elusive Packard feature. and Is not Available for all ears. Following are a few of the things these experts have 10 say about the invention:

As Seen Through
The Journal Window
fRx III. E. RroMne.l

A story goes that once upon time
a fish was placed in a frying pan. In
its agony It gave one mighty flop and
landed In the hot Goals of fire.
The story Of the fable is being en-
acted in real life today There is a
growing unrest among young men on
the farm--an unrest which constitutes
a distinct peril to the nation.
Stories Of abnormally high wages
paid for even unskilled labor In the
cities have fired the farm hand with
that greatest of all American curses
a desire to get rich quick. AS a result
help IN the country is scarce today and
farm work is consequently retarded.
The situation is alarming in some
parts Of the country
In his Imagination the farmer boy
sees the money rolling in, but there
his imagination stops. He never thinks
of 1t pouring out again. And in the
larger cities, despite the high wages
paid, there is quite as much pouring
as rolling. just what bright-eyed,
keen-minded and energetic young men
of the country should prefer the exas-
perating perplexities Of the city to the
peaceful certainties OF the country Is
difficult fer me to conceive. From in
fancy they have been trained In the
hard-headed school of experience, and
the experience has nabled their faith
ers to achieve success in an era when
the hand of fate was against every
farmer-when there was no adequate
rccompense for their labors--when TIL
star Of hope was obscured by the low
prices OF their products. Yet all this
splendid training seems to be without
avail. They want to leave the farm,
Fathers have pleaded; mothers, and
sisters, and sweethearts have shed
bitter tears; but the unrest Is there. It
will not sleep.
True, the city newspapers are filled
daily with enticIngly worded ADVERTISE
ments calling for help, but wiiAn slfted
down they are more often found to be
Jobs that the city man does not want.
The farmer lad rs asked to come in
and take the crums that remain--and
they take them. II h an unfortunate
condition which faces the country and
one which must be met. II the deplor-
able depopulatlon OF the farm con-
tinues there can be but one result. The
farmer will live In peace and plenty
because he can always raise sufficient
Tor the needs OF himself and family.
But everywhere the cities will cry for
food when there Is no food to be had; ;
and the young man who leaves the
farm will be among those who expert
ence the Joys Of a gay life and an emp
~ stomach.
The greatest crown of glory of the
world war was placed by Marshal
Foch upon the brow OF the farmer boy
from the mountains OF Tennessee. He
il the hero Of heroes Of the war OF all
wars The farm boy OF today has an
opportunity Of performing for his
country an even greater service than
that which made Alvin KorlSe's name
known wherever civilization exists. BY
remaining where life Is clean and OPP
portunitiea are never lacking, he can
mid IN saving many millions OF helpless
women and children from the pangs Of
hunger and the depths OF despair, For
without the products Of the farm even
life itself cannot be sustained
