W. M. BRYAN, Office Over Post Office Thomasville, Georgia TALKS ON THRIFTS To Tho Trustees Of Grady County Schools To write about thrift in connec tion with gasoline would seem us logical os talking about peace and quietude of mind amid tho burst ing of shells on a battlefield. But there can be thrift in the uso of things thnt seem luxurious, ns well as'thrift in the ( uso of things that are necessary. If, for instance, with the gift of an article that is ft pure luxury goes the directions for its economical use, it would be folly to disregard tho advice of toll maker who knows how the. article should be used to give the best re sults, irrespective of tho fact that it cost' you nothing. If,, out of the millions of car owners of this county, only a small percentage were to practice thrift in tho use of gasoline, tho consump tion would be greatly reduced and the cost cheapened accordingly; for tho high prices must • of necessity be traceable to tho huge and insat iable demand that results from the hundreds of- thousands of cars used daily. When the motor car was a new thing, gas was obtainable at a price that would make the heart of tho present day motorist leap with joy and little thought given to its econ- I have recievetl soverul letters asking about the institute for 1017.

It lias been stated on good authorities that a saving of from fifty to one hundred dqllnrs per year per car could bo made if care were taken in the uso of gasoline. Care of benrings, care of tires, and clean cylinders will save the car owners more than ho knows. Those who know anything at all about a car will appreciate the fact that we waste a lot of fuel that does no good. We do not coast the hills, we let the motor run when the car is standing, we use the clutch too much, we have poor adjustment on the carbureter, and burn gas in stead of air. Wo do not get full measure from tho gasoline seller, aniTwe make long detours because distance is so little an element in motoring. There will come a time, if it is not already here, when every man who earns twelve hundred dollars a year in small places, and eighteen hundred a year in the larger towns, can afford and should have a car. It brings more lasting and bene ficial pleasures than any other me dium yet devised, as a pastime. It take you out of doors. It gives you a chance to- picnic' with the family, see the country, save time, entertain ns no other device ever can, and has its proper place in the scheme of life’ But a little study of cars and their care and opera tion, thought for the little savings that are possible, will make what would seem to be a burdensome tax a real and lasting benefit. Bert Williams in one of his char acteristic scenes in the Winter Garden, drives up to a wayside gas station in a battered motor cycle, and asks for “ten drops of -gas,’ and carefully inquiries of tho deal or how far it will take him. ‘ Eighty-miles down hill,” is the prompt reply. And that is the whole secret of gas using—to go down hill without it, for sometimes you can’t get up the hill with it. Have a car if you can afford it, and not because your neighbor has one; get all tho pleasure out of it possible, but remember the little economics in oil, tires, gas, electric ity and the like, and find that thrift has its place here as well as in a big factory. and gives special information ns to the be9t crops to grow, both for profit and home use. The large increase in our busi ness which we have again experi enced during the past year is the best of evidence as to tho high quality of Our Depositors Number Over One Thousand Many of those have been with us since we organized, January 1st, 199-1, and many of thorn aro now accounts, people who lmvo come with us recently.
