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.
The school Supervisor who lias
this work in charge informs me
that he will not be - able to reach
Grady County before April. Due
announcement will be made re
garding the matter when the 'time
for holding the institute has been
determined. This notice is given
in order that you may notify your
teachers that 1 hero will be no de
lay in beginning the spring term
promptly on Jan. 1st, 1917.
Very respectfully,

omy; but ns it goes up and up,
care must of necessity be used if
the cost of motoring .doe« not be
come prohibitive. 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
