STAGE DRIVER LOYAL
 TO GILL BATTERY.

Recently a stage driver operating a line across the desert from Needles to Kingman, Arizona, purchased new Studebaker touring car and the dealer was very much surprised to have him insist that his old battery be placed in the car instead of the brand new battery that comes as equipment.
 Are you crazy?" asked the aston ished car dealer, for he had never be- fore seen person so foolish as to pass up brand new article for one that had been in use for many months.
 Not hardly insane, but just crazy like a fox", replied the intrepid stage driver. "You see this old battery is a GILL and I know just what it will do. In the desert one has to place much reliance upon his battery, and this one seems to get better with age. I don't have to water it near as often as other batteries, because it does not have separators and heating is prac- tically unknown"
 If you had been using Gill as long as I have you would be enthus- iastic too. I have never had to get it recharged, l do not worry about over charging on my long drives, and the plates will not buckle. There are many other good features, but as you have a suspicion that am crazy, you probably would not believe them" There have been many instances of this kind. Many motorists have kept their Gill batteries when trading their old cars in on new ones. Many pur- chasers insist on Gill batteries in their new cars, according to motor cal dealers.
 i Black and Ellis, local dealers fol Gill batteries claim that Gill batteries thrive on abuse.

FRENCH COPS RIDE
 IN BATHTUB CARS

Powerful motorcycles, with side cars able to carry four policemen, if necessary, are now part of the equip ment of all the Paris police stations. It is anticipated that their presence in the streets will act as a deterrant to would-be infringers of the speed limit. Then, again, the perpetrators of many armed robberies have recent ly escaped by using motorcars, and there has been no means until now of overtaking them.

ONE CAR NOW TO
 EVERY TEN OF US

One person out of every -en in the United States now owns motor ve- hicle-a grand totalof approximately 1O,500,0O0 passenger cars ant trucks.
 This staggering total represents the official registration of the various states on Dec. 31, 1921. and is an in crease of 1,2O4,744S over 1920, when 9,295,253 cars and truckS were regis tered, according to report.' sent in to the Chandler company
 This remarkable gam during the past year is considered remarkable by officials of the automotive indus try and surpassed by a wide margin their most optimistic predictions at the start of last year.
 In some states the gain was as much as 35 per cent and ren states reported an increase of more than 20 per cent. The leader5 in this group were Southern ,tateS-West Virginia, Florida and New Mexico, Ohio, with a gain of 25 pc" cent, led the industrial states.
 The race between Ohio and New York for supremacy became even more heated thar ever before, but again turned out in favor of New York by a scant margin of some II 900 cars and trucks. At the same rate of increase Ohio will over take New York before spring. The figures are: New York, 755,000; Ohio, 744,- , 900.
 Although New York leafs in total motor vehicle registration, Ohio pos sesses more passenger cars. The Buckeye state boasts 650,0O0 automo- piles against 5s1,915 for -he Empire state. New York's truck regiStra- tion is more than tw;ce thaz Of Ohio's. Among the 12 leaders several states crawled up a notch or SO PennSyl- vania maintained third place, while California replaced Illinois in fourth place-the two states exchanging places. Michigan stepped Cp the lad der from eighth to sixth place, out distancing Iowa and Texas. Iowa slipped two pegs--into eighth place, while Texas remains in seventh po- sition.
 Indiana held ninth pIacA, while Massachusetts moved up from elev- enth to tenth. Missouri and Wiscon- sin climbed notch to eleventh and twelfth positions, respectively, while Minnesota slipped back from tenth to thirteenth place.
 Over half the cars and trlrks ot the country are registerei in nine states, which is more than one the en' tire continent of Europe. These states are: New York. Ohio, Penn sylvania, California, Illinois. Mich, 1 igan, Texas, Iowa and Indiana. Thei, egi:tl ation totals 5,300.000.

WINTER SHORT COURSES
FOR OREGON FARMERS To-
Be OPENED NEXT MONTH
Work Along Many Lines of En-
deavor Planned to Meet Re
quiranents OF Busy Farmers

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Dec. Short courses that of
fer Oregon farmers who can find time
to make them the best and newest
ideas in modern farming practices in
Oregon, have been arranged by the
state agricultural college to start Jan
uary at Corvallis.
The grounds buildings, equipment
and most of all the staff of specialists
that have made the Oregon college ta
nous the civilized world over, will be
available for use by the short course
Imen and women. Resources of rural
Oregon not yet recognized fully or
fully used will be pointed out as well
as time will permit. Following are the
!seven courses announced
Tractor mechanics, January q
March II; general agriculture, same;
horticulture, same; dairy herdsman's
course, January 2-June 10; dairy
manufacturing, January 2-27. January
2S-February "a; horticultural pro-
ducts, February 5-24; bee culture,
March 1924.
kull information can be had on ap-
iplication to the registrar, O. A. c.,
Corvallis, Ore.
HerdSman's Course Unique
Men are wanted to take charge of
dairy herds and handle them to get
best returns, and they are hard to find.
so a new course was added recently to
/ the o. A. c. short courses designed to
fit men for this work. TIL course for
the dairy herdsman gives practical
work in caring for the college dairy
stock under supervision of college
specialists. Much personal supervision
Is necessary and only a limited num-
Der of men will be enrolled in the
course. This number has been cut
down after trial, and already several
applications are in. For particulars,
write j. NJ. Brandt, chief of dairy hus-
bandry, at Corvallis.
