BACK TALK

The Burlington News says
that the clothes that sometimes
make the women are the clothes
that sometime break the men.
To avoid colorleSs existence,
suggests the Boston Transcript,
keep in the pink of conditions; do
things up brown; treat people
white; be well read; and get out
onto tie golf green under the blue
occasionally. And to this rainbow
suggestion the Brattleboro Re-
former asks what is best to do for
a yellow streak.

1922 TO BE AN ELECTRIC
AUTOMOBILE YEAR

Up in Chicopee Falls. Mass, there
| have emanated rumors and predic-
tions that something new in electric
automobiles will be unveiled early in
| 1922 by the makers of the Rauch &
Lang electrics. 1t is now positively
| known that the exhibit OF Rauch &
Lang electrics will be one OF the SEN
sational features and attractions OF
the New York automobile show jan
uary 7-14.
Speaking before Rauch & Lang deal
ers recently at Chicopee Falls. II. II.
Doering. sales manager. had the fol-
lowing to say about the electric auto
mobile for 1922:
-In 1922 / believe we will see the
electric automobile come into its own.
for the following reasons:
Electricity today dominates the
world as the perfect driving power.
Everywhere you see 1t. Enlisted to
drive the battleship. chosen to drive
railway trains, called on the job where
there Is any great work to do to drive
the work ahead, It obviously is the
practical power to drive the automo-
bile. That Is why motor car owners
Of full experience are today turning
to the Rauch & Lang electric automo-
bile.
What they are fast discovering is
that for their actual needs-the use
which makes your automobile worth
having and worth maintaining-the
Rauch & Lang electric is scientifically
and practically right.
1.-THE instant the automobile finds its
true place In your life and your mind,
the Rauch G. Lang electric becomes
your car Strip the automobile OF
your dreams of sport, and 1t stands
revealed to you car to take you
from one spot to another-a car OF
usefulness. When you realize this,
you too, with men OF insight and COM
mon sense, will turn to the Rauch &
Lang electric.
Here is what an automobile means
to you: To drive you to and from
work; to the club; to the theater; to
the homes Of friends; to church. 1t
means driving along city streets by
you, your wife and family. No need
of high speed, and seldom q chance
to use 1t.
I'm short. your real use for an auto
mobile is the kind OF use which the
electric automobile gives best OF all
types OF cars. It is best because 1t Is
more pleasant, more comfortable and
more economical to you
what the electric automobile gives
you is the service you need morning,
day and evening-the perfection OF
service In driving In crowded traffic,
over streets rough or smooth-quick
starting-quick stopping-and above
all, economy Of operation and main
tenance.
therefore, say 1922 will be an
electric automobile year."

Free Seeds Are Sent to
100000 Persons All
Over the United States
Cost to Government of Supplying
Gardeners This Years With Five
Varieties Will Be $360,000.

Back in 1889, when Commissioner
of Patents Ellsworth obtained an ap-
preparation OF $1,000 with which to
purchase seeds, he probably had little
idea of what he was starting. The ap-
preparation really was the beginning
of the department OF agriculture. And
while that branch of the government
has been growing each year, the dis
tribution of seeds never has been lost
sight of.
Ellsworth's $1,000 purchased $4,000
packages of seeds. This spring 10000
900 persons will get seeds from the
government. And five different varie-
ties of seeds will go to each person.
The cost to the government OF this
free seed distribution will be 100000.
The department of agriculture dur
ing recent years has made it a prac-
tice to omit estimates for seed distri-
button, but congress just as regularly
has restored the appropriation. The
free seed debate in congress has be-
come an annual event, productive al
ways of two or three days wrangling,
and furnishing the lawmakers an op-
portunity for witty speeches.
Many of the constituents of sena-
tors and representatives have become
accustomed to getting their seed each
spring from the government, and the
practice is difficult to stop.
