IMPORTANT ECONOMY FEAT

can be figured in terms of money and
time" SAYS Louis Wolfe. president OF
the Putnam Buick Co. local dealers IN
Chexrole, passenger and commercial
cars
''One Of the principal items OF ex-
yenss ! gasoline. Another is tires.
Economy in these items therefore Is
important
Ia selecting a commercial ear care
should be taken 10 see that the motor,
in addition to being mechanically de-
pendahle. Is known for its economy IN
fuel consumption.
The capacity of the truck should
BE 50 well proportional to the power
as a result in further saving OF fuei'
ard also in a saving of tires
Furthermore commercial ears
should Be equipped with electric start
ers THIS is an important feature IN
saving both gasoline and time. The
Inconvenience Of eranking the motor
By hand Is unpleasant to the average
driver II is common practice,
therefore. 10 let the motor run while
the ear IS being loaded or Is standing
AZ a delivery stop. This Is waste OF
gasoline and runs into considerable
money in time. The electric starter
eliminates this expense by eliminating
the inconvenience which caused II. In

 Ennis iissrhe man who, was arrested in a raid made by a group of local officers headed by Captain J. H.. Bulger satur- day evening; at a house near Hammond hall, smoonshiners' still being among the articles seized there by the police.
 The iprosecution =. of Enn,s MoH.lay morning was under. Connecticut s-atuSts still in force, against the illegal safe or liquors, and all sales, of 2. liquors LOW come in..tne illegal, class.
 What was done, with him in the city court, has no bearing whatever on any action that federal officials may desire to take against him, for violation of the Volstead act, the enforcement measure passed follow ing the enactment.tof the eighteenth amendment
 The only regret of the local police in connection with this case is that they did not capture score of men who were at the house .raided sometime before the officers made their visitation. The place has been under observation for. some time, the number of frequenters indicat- ing to- the police that all was not as it should be there.
