City folks have built their dwellings
cut in the suburbs, away from the
city's smoke and turmoil-out where
there's sunshine, flowers, birds. fresh
air, and where each day is like
vacation.
The automobile. by reducing dis
tances. has made groups of COM
munities more like one big happy
family. 1t has developed a get-to-
gethcr spirit among the people. 1t
has made the world two or three
times bigger for the average person

culture by bringing him in more
frequent contact with the other fell
low-and has put a sparkle of pro-
gressiveness in his entire attitude.
The automobile is the world 5
greatest gift to humanity.
That is so because the automobile
has been a definite influence in taking
people out of the rut-waking them
things-making them keener thinkers
and better workers. The automobile
is an actual partner in the success
OF an individual, because it puts
economy and efficiency in his daily
efforts. 1t pays for itself over and
more Fit-and by enabling him to
truly live life of greater JOY, con-
Venience and comfort.

girls aggregation from the school

ing teams in the State. Playing a
long schedule of games they have lost
but two contests, these to Waynfleta

South portland in t>lrn has beaten
both these teams decisively. The
South Portland management is try

Helped Make I. 5.

Time and labor savers, convenience
and comfort creators, have helped
to make America the worlds great
est nation. Nowadays a man doesn't
have the whole say-so as to whether
he will adopt a time and labor-saver
in his work-he is Forced to do so
in order to meet competition. Prog
ress sets the pace, and those who
refuse to be converted, suffer the
penalty of seeing the ground cut
from under their feet.
Chief among the time-savers of the
day is the Automobile. 1t has trans
formed aold two or three hour jour-
neys into a few minutes of speedy,
clean, comfortable travel. Communi-
ties that were formerly a day apart
from each other are now practically
at each others outskirts-a mere
hours jump: and the average farmer
comes to town Oftener each week
than he used to come in a whole year.

this phase of their business, not only
because il is being demanded by the
