HARMFUL The Local Merchants Resent Pessimistic Utterances of Alarmists. Business men seriously interested in the government's efforts to preserve public confidence and stimulate a more general feeling of optimism, have no sympathy for "gasoline shortage" alarmists. "In the first place." safd one local merchant, "those who persist in giving the public the impression that there is a shortage, or that one is imminent, are stimulating pessimism. Nothing pleases our enemies more than to hear of shortages." Nothing is so disconcerting to the public. 1 1 .. . . . . , . in me j'tt'ini piace. inere is no j gasoline shortage. Furthermore, thfwe is no immediate prospect of one. Al-I though the price has risen slightly, as ; everything else has risen, the govern- j ment has not v et considered it neccs- ' sary n place a limitation on its use. j The government realizes that Ihe gaso-j line used in the operation or motor j cars, for example, is almost entirely fori the cc.use. of greater personal eff ic- ! jency." An official of Dodge Brothers. Detroit motor car manufacturers, recfntly expressed a similar sentiment. "The automobile owners ail over the country. I believe, are responding to the spirit of conservation." b, said. "They are taking more and moce of their pur-j cruises nome rrom the stores, thu, relieving the retnil delivery services of j thousands or a huge burden' each month ! "They are using their motor cars to j go to and from their business, and to ' make business calls of every character.' Salesmen and others travel from town j in town in tneir motor car, many or them using automobiles regularly over slated routes. "Thus the passenger automobile is jplaving its part in conserving the na tion's resources. It is releasing men Tor other duties. It is taking some or the burden from Ihe railroad", the interurban trolley systems and city street rMiivvavs. Trolley companies in several ciiics have taken numerous cars out of service, and there is no doubt that the growing use of the motor car is at least partially responsible. Every trolley! car that is .taken out of operation1 means less power consumed, and that in' turn means less coal burned. ( "The passenger automobile is a na- j tional econoniv. as well as being a I utility of the first order. The gasoline j it consumes is more than compensated for in the labor, the time and t hit coal it actually saves." FIRST 1ST JEW TONIGHT Others Are Due Beginning Monday; More Haste Is Needed. Draft registrants arc allowed seven days to fiil in arid return their questionnaires and approximately l.ll'io Hie due. to I.nke county hoards by sunset today. It is believed that there will be many delinquencies. 'n December 13 the first five per cent of the qucstionnarics were mailed out and on each cwc-cding day a like number went, the process lo b- kept up for 2' divs. law Is Strict. Of rour where registrants have ! gone to other cities the board will al low lime tnken up for the papers beins: in transit, but those who do not promptly return their questionim ires face arrest by the police or secret service a nell ss the penalties the law provides including possible cert lib a t inn in the first class, which means early military service.

Adair of Portland, makes a definite announcement pretty soon as to w hettier be intends to run for 'the Democratic roir inn t ion for Con gress in the Eighth district next year there is likely to be some cases of heart failuie among the Democratic l"" 1 1" lans or l'-t district heiore long, "tne time ago it was confidently cnn"."ni d n' some of his friends lhat laair nan ceciofd not to run. Soon afterward .Judge w. II. Eichhoin of Hluffton, let it be Known that he was a candidate for the nomination for Congress. Eichhorn is one of the element that has been known as "Forward IxOoking Deuujci ats." and some of the old machine crowd were not at all pleased with the prospect of his running for Congress. A short tiine after Eiehhoin's announcement, another story came out. his time with the apparance also of authoiity. that Adair had decided lo run. And now still another story has it that he will not run. Il is htought that these conflicting so lies are merely a par of a plan of Adair' s friend to create a demand folium to run for the nomination, and ' ic.Ti a i inc p-o;iei une n will come out with a statement that "in compliance with the demand of his friend." be bus decided to stand e. a candidate.
