C. is calling upon all manufacturers in the country and up­ on about 27,000 dealers, 24,000 gar­ ages and 13,000 repair shops to help in the movement to save gasoline. It is preparing a placard to be hong on the walls of: service stations, garages and supply stations urging users to economize in the consumption of gas­ oline in the following ways: 1. Do not use gasoline for washing oi* cleaning—use kerosene to cut the grease. * 2. Do not spill gaspline or let drip when filling—it is dangerous and wasteful. " 3. Do not expose gasoline to-iair—it evaporates rapidly and is dangerous. 4. Do not allow engine to run when car is standing. Cars are fitted with self-starters, and it is good for the bsttery to be used frequently, 5. Have carburetors adjusted to use leanest mixture possible—a lean mix­ ture avoids carbon deposits. 6. See that piston rings f it tight and cylinders hold compression well. Leakage of compression causes loss. 7. Stop all gasoline leakage. Form the habit of shutting off^gasoline at the tank or feedpipe. 8. See that all bearings run freely and are well lubricated—friction con­ sumes power and wastes gas. ’ 9. Protect the radiator in cold weather—a cold engine is hard to sta rt and is short in power. 1 " 10. Keep tires fully inflated—soft tires consume power. ■■ : fc . V 11. Do not drive a t excessive speed, Power consumption increases a t a faster zbte than speed. Every car has A definite Speed a t which it operates with maximum .fuel economy. 12. Change gears rather than climb hills,with, wide-open throttle—it saves: car and gas.- .13. Do not”.use.cars heedlessly or aimlessly. By exercise or forethought a number of errands can be combined so that one trip to town or elsewhere will do as well as two. 14. Reduce the amount of riding for mere pleasure by* shortening such trips or cutting down their frequency. Mrs, Anna Miller Townslcy lost a number o£ eluckens in broad daylight Friday while she was away from home. Thinking someone might help themselves to the chickens she shut them up and locked the door.

TRYOUT FOR NEWSPAPERS. The exceedingly high cost of news­ paper and every other material "that goes into the making of a newspaper or towards the upkeep of a publishing plant has sent many a newspaper to the wall the past few months. The latest. to ' quit.,the:game, is the, Cleve­ land Leader', for sixty years one of the-strong Republican papers of the state. . Even millionaires do not want money1 losers and consequently Han­ na has closed the doors.,of th&Leader. Some weeks ago the Columbus Moni­ tor went into receivership, the owner, R, S. Ralston having spent $300,000 on- that venture. Smaller daily papers numbering nearly a dozen nave quit in this state.

There will bo no Chautauqua next year as the people were not incliued to sign up. * The position Cedar­ ville people have taken Is no dif­ ferent than moBt towns In this section. W hat may happen m the next year is more on the mindB of th» people than ohautauquas. There is nothing held against the Colt- Alber people. Their prpgrom this year met with general approval. In fact we know of no organization th a t can furnish better talen t than can Colt-AlbeK When the atmos­ phere cleprs and people settle down Cedarville will again be in the market for another chautauqua.
