CORN HARDENS ON CHICAGO MARKET
CHICAGO, Feb. 14. Corn hardened In value today owing to the smallness of offerings and to the readiness with which they were absorbed. Besides, receipts, although liberal, were not nearly as large as on the precedlnn day. Further improvement was reported in traffic conditions east. Opening quotations, which ranged from a shade off to a like advance with March not quoted and May $1.25 to $1.25, were followed by a moderate upturn. Sellers of oats were handicapped by scantiness of supplies. Good demand from shippers here remained In evidence. After opening Vt to Vzc higher with May 81V4 to 81, the market scored further gains. Provisions opened 6lightly lower, but rallied. There was no aggressive pressure to Bell.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 14. A statement of policy relative to expressions such as were reported to have followed the sinking of the transport, Tuscania, deploring the entrance of the United States into the war against Germany, will be prepared for the Indiana State Council of Defense by a special committee consisting of A. W. Brady, H. N. Kurrie and Will G.. Irwin. The motion to name the committee was made by Charles Fox, labor member of the council, who said: "The time has come when we can't countenance any German-Americans or any other hyphenates we want straight loyal Americans." In the discussion of the motion it was said by A. E. Reynolds that he felt the initiative in a movement expressing entire loyalty 1,0 the United States might more appropriately come from the leading societies whose members are of German descent, but there
appearing no such initiative. Mr. Reynolds regarded it as entirely proper that the state council should take
such action.

Motor Gasoline Now Abundant
y
Owners Urged to Use It to Fullest Extent in Relieving Strain on Traffic Washington, Jan. 19 Instead of curtailing the use of motor vehicles, as has been necessary in England and France, to conserve gasoline for military uses, American car and truck owners Avill be doing their country a service by using their machines to the fullest extent for the relief of passenger, freight and express traffic on the railroads in the United States, according to the petroleum war service committee of the Council of National Defense. The gasoline situation, which threatened last summer to result in a shortage, has changed radically. Gasoline economy due to the campaigns recently encouraged by the United States' Bureau of Mines, the drilling of new oil wells, increased production of gasoline by the "cracking process." decreased use of automobiles during severe w inter weather, and lack of shipping facilities for export to Europe, have combined to cause consumption to fall below production. The reserve supply accumulating will tax storage facilities to the utmost before the winter is over. Use of Gasoline Desired. A statement issued by the petroleum war service committee indicates that it is desirable to use gasoline for power purposes to insure continuous and ample production of fuel oil for th navy. Gasoline is in the nature of a by-product of fuel oil, which is used also in merchant ships, munitions factories and industrial plants. As gasoline can not be stored in large quantities because of lack of storage facilities and inability to build additional storage tanks at this time, and as it is impossible to ship more gasoline abroad than is now being forwarded to Europe, it is evident that in the present coal shortage and railroad congestion every effort should be made to utilize automobiles for hauling merchandise and carrying passengers. The gasoline situation in this country is not to be compared with that in Europe. England and France are almost entirely dependent upon imports of petroleum products and the ability to import is limited by lack of ships. It is for this reason that the use of motor cars for private use has had to be suspended except for the most urgent requirements. America, on the contrary, is the world's largest oilproducing country and is unable to export more than one-quarter of its gasoline production. To the extent that gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil ar
used for power purposes the supply of , coal is conserved. Adv. j

Let Us Make a Prophecy! There will be more people wanting cars and unable to get them (because of scarcity of cars) this year than ever before. Why? The railroads are going to be too busy whipping the Kaiser" to attend to much local business. That is very plain. Are our people going to sit at home and wait for the war to be over or is business goin g on as usual? Sure it's going on as usual and "passenger cars" and trucks are going to make it possible. Then the demand will naturally be greater than ever for cars. We who live near enough to drive cars from the factories can get them now. Later when the railroad embargo is lifted the factories are going to ship to the limits of the country and we will be unable to get them. Therefore if you really want a car rbuy now. Gasoline Will Be Cheaper Is Our Prediction Because every available storage space for gasoline is now filled and in another column in this paper the government is urging the more extensive use of gasoline both to keep it from going to waste and also to assist in relieving the railroad congestion. Why Will Chevrolet Be the Most Popular Car? The model "Four Ninety" now more than ever before, is entitled to the term "economy car," for it embodies everything necessary for enjoyable motoring with the least expense. We know that a motorist, in ordr to enjoy peace of mind and satisfaction, must own a car which possesses all of the essentials for comfort and convenience. If any essential is missing, the loss is felt, for it entails extra labor and effort. It is these essentials that we find supplied in the new series "Four Ninety." From a mechanical standpoint, this model has reached a standard of excellence that is not surpassed in any motor car. Vanadium steel is used for every part that requires unusual strength. It has ample power, proper spring suspension, correct weight, smart appearance, well finished. It has unusual records in gasoline economy. The fact that there are nearly one hundred and fifty thousand Model "Four Ninety" cars in use is ample proof that this model is doing the work demanded of it in a most satisfactory manner. It's going to be "First come, first served," this year. If you want a car of any make, get your order in.
