452 GALLONS OF GAS
FOR EACH CAR IN 1920

The American Petroleum Insti-
tute has Compiled information show
ing the quantity of gasoline consum-
ed in 1920 by twelve states where
such information is available. These
figures taken in conjunction with
automobile registrations, indicate
total United States consumption of
gasoline by motor vehicles of 4,018,-
100000 gallons in 1920. The States
reporting account for a gasoline
consumption totaling SS9,524,944
gallons.
Without attempting to make any
allowance for consumption by other
agencies, and without including in
the compilation consumption by mo-
torcycles and motorboats, the fig
ures shown indicate an average an
nual consumption of gasoline per
car, both passenger cars and motor
trucks, in the states given, of 451.1
gallons on the basis of 1920 auto
mogile registration figures.
The total registration of passen-
ger cars and motor trucks as of De-
cember 81, 1920, was 8,887,572 cars
On the 452.1 gallons per car, the in
dicated gasoline consumption by mo-
tor vehicles in the United States in
1920 was approximately 4,01S,0O0,-
600 gallons. The gasoline output of
United Staes refineries in 1920 was
about 4,s7O,OOO,OOO gallons.

III c. PAPER MILL
READY IN MONTH

Canton, N. c., Feb. 12.-The
Champion Fibre company is pushing
xhe work on the construction of the
aarge new paper mill, large gangs of
men working day and night on the
foundations and walls. Two large
cement mixers are constantly mix
ing and pouring. cement in the forms
and. another month will see this part
Of the work nearing scompletion.
The company is giving employ
ment to hundreds of men on this
work which is a big help to those
Who are out of jobs. The completion
Of this large new mill. will give Can
aEr one of the largest chemical pulp
md paper mills in the entire south
and give employment to nearly g.
600 men.
It is quite an interesting sight to
watch the men at work on this huge
structure. Large steam shovels work
ahead Of the men who are laying the
foundation and in this way the work
sses> continually on, as one gang of
Ren after another, move forward to
do their part of the work. It is con-
fdently hoped the super structure
will be all in place early in the
spring and that the building will be
ready to receive the machinery by
July 1.
I'm the meantime the company is
laying in an immense stock of pulp
wood, over 40 cars being received
hist week which is being argumented
daily. This distributes hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the farmers
m the western part Of the county
Who thus turn their timber into real
money.

RAILROAD PLANS
TOLD BY CUYLER
No General Reduction In Wages
Meeting Next Week

Chicago, Feb. ia general re-
duction in wages of railway en-
ployees is not being considered by
fhe Association of Railway Execu-
tves, which represents go per cent.
of the trackage of the country, &C
cording to a statement issued to-
night by Thomas De Witt Cuyler,
chairman of. the Association.
sMr. Cuyler's statement came in
response to reports circulated IN
railroad and union circles that the
meeting of railway executives which
he today called for February q
would discuss plans for a general
wage reduction on all roads. Such a
proposition never has come before
the association or it's labor commit
tee, Mr.. Cuyler said. The eXecu-
live will meet February Is to dis
euss means of getting the question
of a revision of wages of unskilled
labor legally before the board
which ruled on Februay 10 that it
could not act on the roads plea for
ahrogation of the national agree
xents and for a wage scale revision
fae unskilled labor which was asked
hecause of the financial condition OF
xhe roads. Matters of finance be-
fsuged before the interstate com:
nerce commission, the board said.

BUYING OF HOGS
REQUIRES CARE


year will probably mark the buying
of many hogs by South Carolina
farmers for breeding purposes. In
some instances it will be practically
a new venture. In order that there
might be some standard or guide in
the selection of bereding hogs, the
following points are given by C. L..
Morgan, extension service animal
husbandman.
Select large hogs of the proper
type. 1t is true that the market does
not want extremely large hogs, but
in order to produce hogs of market
weight in a reasonably short time,
large breeding stock is necessary.
Experiments have shown that the
younger the animal, the cheaper the
gain; so by having large breeding
stock, pigs are produced that grow
to market weight while the cost of
production is relatively cheap. Prop
er type means that hogs should not
only have the size, but that they
should have the individual parts in
uniformity with their size. They
should be long in body, stand on
medium long legs,' have slightly
arched back, wide and deep bodies
and all parts symmetrical.
Select hogs of good feeding capa-
city, as indicated by wide head,
strong jaw, short neck and a large
deep, wide middle-but not punchy.
Such hogs make more rapid and
cheaper gains.
Select hogs Of good constitution
and vigor. Constitution is indicated
by wide, deep, chest, large heart
girth, large nostrils and bright
clear eyes. Hogs that lack constitu-
tion have short period of useful
ness.
Select hogs with strong backs and
strong feet and posterns. The back
should be slightly arched, the feet
strong and the posterns straight. A
hog showing weakness in these parts
will not stand up under the strains
of breeding.
Select hogs of good quality. Quail
ity is indicated by general refine
ment of features, Smooth joints and
a fine glossy coat of hair. Quality
and size are opposite characters,
yet as much quality as possible in
large animals is. desirable.
Select prolific hogs, so as to get a
large number of pigs per litter. Pro-
Efficacy is indicated by a large mid
die, showing room for the develop
ment of large litter and a large
udder and numerous teats, showing
to take care Of a larger lit
ter.
Select hogs that are uniform in
type and size and as nearly as in
color as possible. A uniform herd of
hogs makes a better impression up
on the purchaser Of purebred ami
mails, and uniformly is also an ad-
vantage jim marketing pork hogs.

WHO PAYS FOR ADVERTISING

Who pays for the advertising?
That was an old conundrum when
Heck was a pup and as you no doubt
know Heck is very old dog now.
But then, as now, the conundrum
had an answer.
And the answer is: Advertising
pays for itself.
Which is to say that neither the
consumer nor the dealer pays for
the advertising in either higher
prices or lowered quality.
There's an illustration which has
been going the rounds for a long
while now. 1t is worth repeating
here.
a and q are competitors in the
manufacture of rubber nipples for
babies feeding bottles. Both pro-
duca 100000 nipples a year and nei-
ther advertisers. The nipples cost
each, manufacturer IL cents each to
make and they are sold to the deal
er for IA cents. Thus each manufac-
turer makes a profit of 2 cents on
each nipple he sells.
x determines to advertise and ap-
propriates 1 cent on each nipple
sold and presently finds his market
expanded to a demand for 100000 !
nipples a year.
When he gets to making 100000
nipples a year he discovers that eco
Monies in manufacture thus made
possible make his factory cost 10
cents. So that instead of making 2
cents on each nipple he's making 3 !
cents and selling twice as many.
So next year he increases his ap-
preparation to 2 cents per nipple,
sells 100000 and gets his factory
cost down to s cents-a profit of a
cents-and the price still remains
IA cents to the dealer.
Thus encouraged, the third year
he increases his advertising appro-
priation to cents for every nipple
sold and enjoys a distribution of
500,000-and through huge quanti-
ty production he gets the factory
cost down to bedrock figure of 5
cents per nipple. The he decides that
his profit is too long and he cuts the
price to the trade Ito IL cents, q
cents lower than the beginning
price-and makes a cents profit.
Meanwhile 2 continues his enter
prise without advertising and is
found standing still--his factory
cost continues at IL cents profit
and you can guess whose price is ID
cents.
x is clearly in the commanding
position-he got there through ad-
vertising. He sells his nipple to the
trade for 2 cents less, which affords
the dealer an opportunity to make a
larger profit-and you can guess
whose nipple he buys and pushes.
Meanwhile x is making a cents a.
gainst rs 2 cents profit.
Thus the advertising paid for it.
self, gave dealer and manufacturer
a longer profit, cos, the consumer
no more and probably III some cases
less.
Good advertising pays its own
way every time.-M erchandising
