PRATT ADVISES
QUICK DEVELOPMENT OF
FOREIGN AUTO MARKET
Washington, March 15. Warning
to American automobile manufactur
ers to enter the world market before
the American market becomes "sat
urated," was voiced by Dr. Edward
Ewing Pratt, chief of the U. Si Bureau
of Foreign and Domostic Commerce
today.
"If the production of automobiles
continues its present rate of increase,"
Dr. Pratt warns, "and unless vital
i changes are effected, either in the
consuming public or in the price of
; automobiles, this 'saturation' point
may not be far off. For the com
mercial vehicle, however, develop
ment has prbably only begun in this
country."
American automobiles would have
no difficulty in overcoming competi
tion abroad, except possibly in the
higher priced cars above . 91200
Pratt declares. European manufac
turers, he said, are not equipped to
turn out cars on the extensive and
highly efficient basis in effect in the
United States.

Get a MotorcycleThis Year
IP you are fond of hunting or fishing you know that the
best sport is to be had in those sections which are not
reached by the railroads.
Most of these places are easily accessible to the owner of a
Harley-Davidson
Besides being able to reach your favorite outing grounds at
less cost you will be independent of time tables, and you
can go and come as yoa please, if you have a motorcycle.
If you want to take a companion with you, you can attach a
sidecar and the transportation cost will be about one-fourth
as much as railroad fare for two.
The 1917 Harley-Davidson motorcycle is the greatest motor
cycle we have ever seen. It's a beauty, and has mora power
and speed than you will ever have to use.
Gat In touch with us now don't put it off. We want to show you what
the Harley-Davidson will do, and we can arrange terms to suit your con
venience. There will be absolutely no obligation to buy,

What's the Difference
Between a Dozen Eggs
and a Quart of
Milk?
A six-cent egg at a convention of milk
enthusiasts would feel like a bad cent.
It would immediately go out and get
scrambled. Every time a man is asked
to say anything about the value of milk
he says it's worth a lot more than eggs.
The report of the tri-state milk com
mittee appointed by the governors of
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland
give us this information once more. It
says that a quart of milk is equnl in food
value to eight efrgs. And it says that
when the consumer pays forty-five cents
ft dozen for ofrgs while a quart of milk is
worth nine cents he is paying three and
three-tenths as much for the same food
vnlue. It costs him two and three-fourths
times as much for real food when he pays
twenty-nine cents a pound for round
steak.
What is there about a hen that makes
the consumer want to squander his money
on her product while he kicks like a steer
when the price of milk is advanced a
cent? Is it bocause eggs are soiid and
milk is liquid? Or is it because the hen
makes a noise aVout her business?
