the Grocery Store on Wheels which
is becoming very popular throughout

About $500 worth of groceries and
green stuffs is the usual load carried
on a route by these travelling grocery

AUTO TAXES REDUCED
BY ITALIAN GOVERNMENT

The Italian government has decided
TO reduce the taxes on passenger cars
for 1922 about 90 per cent, according
to reports from Trade Commissioner
Osborne and Vice Consul Earle at
Rome. A considerable reduction has
also been made in the tax on motor
trucks. The taxable horsepower is not
determined through a direct test for
working horsepower, but is merely a
function of the number of cylinders
and the working volume of each cylinder
expressed in cubic centimeters. Private
ly owned and operated automobiles,
provided they are the property of for
eign residents, may remain in Italy free
of tax for three months following their
entry into the country.

the amount of outstanding policies. or
that does not set aside a reserve of
premium income. There are stock
companies too which should be looked
into in the same way. Unless you
select a sound company you are likely
to take out insurance and then find
that the policy isn't worth anything
if a large number of claims require
payment in a short period.
In some state sthe insurance laws
are pretty lax, so that any club can
form its own insurance company and
issue policies. The rates are some
times very low. This makes it at
tractive TO the purchaser. You can
follow the rule which has worked for
many. many years that where the rate
is below the standard rate there is a
good reason for it and that reason
is just that much risk. In other
words. if you want absolute protec-
ton you must pay for it.

TIN CANS NO ORNAMENTS
FOR GODS FRONT LAWN

During 1921 there were left scat
tered about in the neal vicinity Of picnic
spots 3 billion tin cans, "a billion paper
plates, and % billion paper cups, to
say nothing of watermelon rinds, pop
bottles, and other charming objects.
Our figures may sound a bit careless
to YOU. But if you'll start counting
you'll say we've been conservative in
our estimate.
The other day we saw a man care
fully pick up all the scraps and burn
them after the picnic was over. The
tin CAM he buried. The crowd left the
place as beautiful as when they found
it. Another member of his party kidded
this man about being ~"finicky." His
retort is worth repeating:
