The Family Auto"

The total registration of motor ears
in the United States on July 1922,
amounted to 10,S45, 900 compared wish
9,413.O00, one year before. Total
world registrations are estimated at
100000.
In other words the United States
alone has over five times as many
automobiles as all the rest of the
world combined.
If for no other reason, these figures
alone show why the United States
should maintain its dominant position
in the oil industry.
If it had not been for the initiative
and enterprise of American oil pros
pectors and producers, one person out
of every ten in the United States
could not own an automobile today nor
could American automobile manufac-
turers be turning out about 2,25O, 900
ears and trucks for 1929.
Any agitation or political activity
which interferes with or retards norm
al development in the oil industry af-
fects our leading position in world oil
production and incide entally the opera
tion of every family auto" in our own
country.

Juice from Lamar Plant.

An important event in the history
of Bristol took place this week when
a party of workmen started work on
a transformer station just across the
railroad track from the Bristol Trad
ing Co. store.
1t means that within a short time
the superintendent said six weeks-an
electric power and light line will be
in operation from Lamar through Bris-
tol and on to Granada. 1t means, in
short, that by this one step these
towns will advance so per cent in in
dustrial development and modern pro-
gress.
Only those who have lived on pow
err line can realize its Importance to
a community. Not Only is here a real
money value and a saving of time, but
it means much toward better living
There will be less fire hazard, better
health conditions, more efficient polio
ing.
The current is furnished by the mu-
nicipal plant at Lamar, the largest in
this part of the state. 1t will come
into Bristol with $4,000 volts, which
will be stepped down" at the trans
former to 2,30O, this being the ap-
proximate Juice" needed to supply
Bristol and Granada. Crews are work
ing toward each end of the line so ii
may be completed in the shortest pos
sible time.
The project is so new that there is
ro indication of the extent to which
the current will be put in use here at
the start, but there can be no doubt
that it will be considerable. Bristol
citizens are of the progressive kind.
The work is in charge of J. f. Todd
of Lamar.-Bristol Herald.
