We may be having hard times, but we are still able to buy automobiles. The motor vehicle registration tor 1921 totalled 10,448,W2—an increase of more than a million over 1921. About half of these cars are believed to be owned by farmers, although there are no actual figures as to dis tributiou. At any rate, the country i; on an automobile basis, and thosi alarming statisticians, who are roreve trying to show' by figures that the na tion income is ot large enough ti buy tires and gasoline, might as wel throw away their lead pencils and be gin to worry about something else We are going to keep our cars, am buy more. That is settled. And if the income won’t stand the increas ing investment and upkeep.-W’hy wcT have to increase the income. —Earm Life.

G. A. R. gave as the purpose “to bring to the attention of the people the great lesson taught by Grant's steadfast adherence to his country's cause in the time of severest trial, and that all Institutions of learning throughout the land celegrate the notable event so that tho deep embodiment of General Grant's life, service and character In the thought and conscience of his contemporaries may bo fastened with transforming power upon the minds of the youth of the present generation." Those resolutions are well worded. Grant was a great soldier; robably unexcelled as a military leader by any American with tho exception of

Washington. Although ho was twice chosen President, his service as a soldier is what won him his place in the high regard and gratitude of the American people. He was not a statesman, and never protended to he. He was not a business man, as his business failure demontrated. He was a born and trained fighter, with a mind that grasped the big problems involved in the greatest war up to the time of his activity. His loyalty, his courage, his integrity, were beyond question. His powers and virtues are set forth by the G. A. R. and these may well be held up for the admiration and emulation of the present generation. No enemy ever met a more implacable foe on the battle field; no vanquished enemy ever met a more generous, magnanimous victor. Every citizen of the United States. North or South, will with sincere appreciation of his high qualities, pay tribute to his memory — Wabasb 1 < Times-Star. . a i Run-Away Youth Taken i

It yas stated at the Erie office this mornng that the freight that left here at >:ls o'clock was the only one through tere last night, bound for Chicago, -hich would have reached there by his morning. Night policeman Matt Breiner con ' acted a search for the missing boy 11 through the night, but could find o trace of him.

LARGEST SHIP IN THE WORLD IS NEW MAJESTIC. United Frew Stuff Corrr»p«nde«t By Ferdinand C. M. Jahn. Berlin (By Mail to United Press)— "The Bismark," which has been handed over to tho representatives of the White Star Line, is not only the largest but at the same time the most sumptuous and probably also tho swiftest passenger ship of the world. That was the tenor of an Interview given by Baurat Artus, who as the representative of the German government supervised the finishing of the ocean giant.

“Os course, it has been a bitter task for us to prepare the surrender of tills ship which was destlnated to be the glory of Germany’s shipping trade,” said Artus. “But I am proud to state, that nevertheless all of us did our duty in the most loyal manner The future 'Majestic - is outfitted In exactly the same way as if it had been for the Hamburg-American line for which it was originally intended. “The work on board the ‘Bismark,' which had been launched in the spring of 1914. was completely stopped at the beginning of the war and has only been resumed two years ago. The mamouth steamer is 291,5 meters long —one more than the former ‘Vaterland'—3o,s broad, 19,5 meters high from the bottom to the upper deck. The draught when loaded is 19,82 meters (35 feet); the tonnage amounts to 56,000 tons; 48 water pipe boilers supply the steam for the four turbips, which act directly on the four screws. The boilers are heated by oil firing which almost developes no smoke. The oil employed is a very tough Mexican oil which, when stored, is so consistent that it has to be cut with spades and cannot explode. The system of the double bottom divided into carefully calculated cellules offers a further element of security. “According to the contract, the effi- 1 ciency of the engines must be 66,000 H. P., but we are sure that 100,0001 11. P. can easily be- obtained so that I the ‘Majestic’ will doubtlessly be the speediest ship of the world. “Th« inner outfitting and accom < modations in the three classes can j hardly be surpassed. The arrange- ] ments for the 700 first class passeng- j ers are the most sumptuous that could possibly be imagined. The dining room, covering 1050 square meters and possessing a beautiful cuppola, painted by Professor Kolmpsberger of the Munich academy, is finished in white. It offers room for all the passengers, so that on second to be served. "The smoking room is furnished with dark oak and the walls are cov-
