AUTOS CARRY BUT TWO.

A comprehensive inquiry as to the
average number of passengers carried
in an automobile shows some interest
ing facts. The countrywide average
is one and seven-tenths. Personal OBJ
servations a six cities show that even
on Sunday, when the number of pas
sengers carried per car might natural
ly be supposed to be the largest, the
average is less than four. On week
days the average corresponds very
closely with the average for the coun-
try-less than two per car
This is only another indication of
the reason for the steadily increasing
popularity Of the small car. Aside
from the most important considera-
tions of low first cost, low mainte-
nance and ease of repair because of
Standardization of parts, the car that
holds the smallest number of people
is OF the greatest use the greatest
part of the time. And since small
cars. low in price. but completely
equipped with the comforts and con-
veniences that the modern motorist
requires, have been put on the mar
ket. their success has been growing
every year.
Conspicuous examples of the policy
of important manufacturers in dis
continuing the manufacture of the
large car and concentrating on the
production of smaller and cheaper
cars are sufficiently numerous to in
dicate that the automobile factories
are keeping a close eye on the trend
of the times

mud DTAXPAYMENT
AGAIN TO Be MADE
Citizens Advised to Avoid It
by Investing at Once in
Better Highways.

Another installment on your mud
tax Is now due. Installments on this
tax are being paid continually, but
in the spring of the year. after alter
nate freezing and thawing the un-
paved road demands one of the
heaviest payments toward this
never-ending tax" says an editorial
from Concrete Highway Magazine
for April. 1922.
you cannot escape the mud tax IL
you live in community of unim-
proved roads. Your payment will
be made in many ways. 1t may be
collected in the form of life lost
because the doctor could not reach
your home over the muddy roads Or
perhaps. it is paid In the loss of 2 or
3 cents on the bushel Of grain which
could not be marketed when the
price was favorable because the
roads were not fit for hauling. Then
creased wear and tear on your car
and in the bigger gasoline bill such
roads demand.
Mud on the country road has
real effect on every man. woman and
child, regardless of occupation or To-
cation. All pay their share of the
mud tax. Supply the farmer with a
modern ROAD over which he can
travel every day in the year, instead
Of when the weather permits. one
over which he can haul with econ
omy instead of never-ending waste,
and the result will be a decrease in
hauling costs. estimated by the
United States bureau of public roads
as more than $500. 100000 every year.
Yet that is only one of the channels
through which the mud tax is col
lecteed.
"Fortunate, indeed, is that COM
munity in which paved roads have
eliminated the mud tax collector. In
such a community there is no spring
! breaking up of the roads. At no time
in the year is its business practically
suspended by impa ssable highways
One day is as good as another. Busi-
ness does not avoid. but seeks the
paved highway. Reports of road con-
ditions in such communities are uni
formly favorable. There is no neces-
sity for the notice, Roads impossible
due to mud
Now is the opportune time to con
vert the mud tax funds into profit
able investment. Paved highways
can now be bought at a lower price
than has been possible for the past
two or three, years. Labor is plenti-
full and willing to work; materials
have been reduced in price: highway
bonds find a ready market. All con-
ideal time to engage in highway i'm
provement. The paved roads will
soon pay for themselves with the
money that was formerly used to pay
the mud tax
You cannot afford to continue pay
never paid up and that lconfers no
benefits. There is only one way to
eliminate this tax-by improving the
roads.

A defense of the small battery con-
Germ is offered by NJ. S. Sturgeon,
president of the American Battery

Some of the facts these dealers
bring out are as follows: There are
