In the early days of the automo-
bile, when gasoline was 6c and 8c
a gallon, little attention was paid
to gasoline mileage.
But the rise in the price of gasoline has riveted the atten-
tion of the automobile buyer to the fact that economical
operation is a paramount issue—that upkeep is even more
important than initial cost.
How many miles to the gallon of gasoline—what tire mileage—are
questions that are uppermost in the mind of the practical, hard-
headed buyer today—the buyer who demands facts, not “claims.”
The I ranklin has wort every prominent official economy test
ever conducted. f
A stock I ranklin touring car holds the w orld's record for
mileage from a single gallon of gasoline—82.8 miles.
Franklin touring cars, driven by owners, are averaging from
22 to 25 miles to a gallon of gasoline on cross-country tours
in Texas.
The five-year National Tire Average of Franklin
owners is 10,203 miles.

Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 29—Barney Old-
field today set the new world’s record
for five miles on a dirt track when he
covered the distance in 5-6 and 1-5.
Washington, Sept. 29.—American
troop transportation to Europe during
Che next six months may be greatly
curtailed.
As a result of the German U-boat
menace, discussed with surprisiftg
frankness by the British Ministry of
Marine, the foremost question now be-
fore this country and the allies is dis-
position of American tonnage.
The great question has arisen wheth-
er the United States is perhaps crowd-
ing her side of the struggle in forcing
over thousands of soldiers at this time
instead of moving supplies. The argu-
ment is advanced in favor of reduc-
ing troop movements to the other side
along these lines.
France alone has millions of tons of
supplies tied up on this side of the At-
lantic which can not be moved while
American troops are being transport-
ed.
France, Great Britain and Italy
sorely need fuel, food, oil, etc., ship-
ment of which is prevented through
lack of tonnage.
Germany’s man-power is waning,
and a careful compilation completed
by the allied Governments indicates
that the allied man-power, properly
supplied can win the war more quick-
ly than if the present man-power is
augmented by thousands of American
troops, at the sacrifice of facing insuf-
ficient supplies through lack of ton-
nage.
The U-boat menace is not underesti-
mated by the United States Govern-
ment. There is not the slightest fear
that Germany can win through her
sea scavengers, but there is appreciat-
ed the need for very serious consider-
ation of the most effective way to
meet the situation created.
The British Shipping Ministry yes-
terday called upon this country for
6,000,000 tons annually.Thir figure can
not be realized before late in 1918 or
early in 1919, it is officially admitted.
The program for the next eighteen
months falls short of the British de-
mands. And more than a billion dol-
lars is involved in the work now un-
der way. After this period has passed,
however, it is stated the United States
should be able to produce 6,000,000
tons annually.
For every American soldier trans-
ported, his weight in supplies must be
sent over every thirty days. Ammun-
ition, food—everything needed by the
Sammy, must go from this side, for
there is not more than sufficient to
supply the Tommy and the Poilu now
over there. Thus, it is argued, there
13 strong reason for training and
equipping a great army on this side
of the Atlantic, but holding up its
marching orders until vast amounts
of supplies, now vital to the allied
fighting cause, are moved. ,

The Gordonville exhibit at the R. R.
V. Fair trill attract-the attention of
everybody who goes into the tent
where the exhibit occupies a promin-
ent position. It is a splendid showing
from a community that has lately
caught step in the march of progress.
It is not too much to say that this
exibit is the direct result of the arous-
ing of interest in canning club and
home economic work by the county de-
monstrator, and that the Gordonville
district 'faw- was the result of the
work of the same agency. There is
no more appealing subject that can
be presented to the people of a rural
community than that of conserving
their resources and saving the pro-
ducts of their labor. When they are
approached by one who knows how to
tell them how to do this their re-
sponse is enthusistic. Take a look at
the Gordonville exhibit and remember
it would not have been possible to have
found such a thing last year, and that
the work this year is but a beginning,
and you will realize that it is a fine
and profitable thing to do to rouse
the community spirit.
