HELP SOLVE THE
GASOLINE SITUATION
Little Gasoline Saver has Made Some
Wonderful Gains in Mileage on
Gasoline.
The agents for 17 counties in west
ern Oregon have located in Forest
Grove and are making their start
from here. They wish to eventually
have an agent in each county of the
17. Reports from the factory show
that they are making 15,000 per day
and cannot supply the demand as
most all cars in the middle states
are being equipped with them, which
should relieve our gasoline situation
here eventually, as the saving is so
great that it will materially help.
In looking ovler the testimonials
we find that the average percentage
of gain is 23, running as follows:
Chas. Mertz, lMt ton ice truck, 20
gain; D. D. Bump, Ford Touring Car,
21 gain; J. C. Smith, Reo Touring
Car, 17 gain; A. E. Scott, Baby
Grand Chevrolet, 26 gain; A. E.
Gardner , Ford Touring Car, 36
gain; Dan Pierce, G. M. C. 2 ton
truck, 14 gain; Dan Pierce, Stude
baker 7-passenger touring car, 28
gain; H. T. Giltner, Ford delivery
truck, gain 2 miles per gallon.
If each truck, tractor, and pleasure
car was equipped with one of these
gas savers the gasoline question
would soon be answered.

agents for the Economy Atomizer,
which is doing such wonderful work,
will show you how YOU can help
the situation and save you money be

BALLENTINE-BRANDOW
A pretty home wedding was sol-'
emnized Wednesday evening at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. E,.
Brandaw, 1626 Fir Street, Hillsboro,
when their youngest daughter, Katie,
was united in marriage to Mr. Virgil
Ballentine. More than sixty invited
guests witnessed the ceremony, which
was performed by the groom's broth
er, Rev. V. A. Ballentine, pastor of
the Evangelical church at Lewisville,
Ore. Ray Zigler, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Zigler, sang, "I Love
You Truly," just before the bridal
party entered the prettily decorated
room and took their places beneath a
bower of evergreen boughs and dais
ies. Mrs. C. F. Brandaw played the
wedding march. The bride was at
tended by Miss Gussie Zigler, while
the best man was J. Clyde Gibbs, of
Dallas, Ore., an army "buddie" of the
groom.
The bride is one of Hillsboro's well
known and most beloved young
women, having spent the past eleven
years in that community. She has
always taken a deep interest in church
and social work, and will be keenly
missed by a large circle of friends.
The groom is associated with the
Dallas Machine and Locomotive
Works, and is a young man of splen
did promise and character. He will
take his bride to Dallas this week,
where they will at once begin keep
ing house in a new home already pre
pared. The heartiest wishes of a host
ot friends go witn tms wortny cou
ple as they enter upon their new sta
tion in life.
TIGARD
Great interest is being taken in
the proposed question of incorporat
ing Tigard. The matter was brought
to an open discussion in connection
with a short program under the aus
pices of the Tisrard Improvement
League. Many took part in the live
ly discussion, but so far it has not
been determined whether the question
will be brought up for a vote or not.
At the annual school meeting held
Tuesday evening, June 21, Mr. Leedy
was elected as school director, anu
Arthur Vincent as clerk.
Several beautiful new residences
are now under construction, among
which may be mentioned Mr. Hun
ger's new home.

DORT GAINS IN POPULARITY
"Comparisons are the best way to
judge business. Going over Dort
sales we find that every month shows
a gain over the same month last year,
even periods when we made new re
cords," says Jno. D. Mansfield, Gen
era Sales Manager, Dort Motor Car
Company.
"At no time have we been able to
catch up with the demand. When
we receive cars form the factory we
just about have a chance to see them
while they,re being washed and made
ready for the owner, who is watching
the operation and anxious to be on
his way.
"The automobile has gained recog
nition as a genuine necessity, hence
the demand. It is not because people
have been mad with a desire to spend
their money, it is because those who
do not own cars have come to a re
alization that by no other means can
they make the minutes count.
There is another feature that
puts the automobile, particularly one
of the owner-driver type, in a claas
by itself. The day's work done and
there is at hand a bountiful measure
of enjoyment for the whole family,
the after-dinner spin through parks,
on boulevards or country roads, some
thing that doesn't cost even as much
as the movies, but at the same time
it is a health giver. The automobile
.has made its place and surely is gain
ing ground every day."
CAR OF GASOLINE
DELAYED IN CITY
The carload of gasoline which For
est Grove and Hillsboro dealers re
cently purchased from a refinery at
Bakersfield, Calif., and which was to
have relieved the gasoline situation
in this county, is tied up in Portland
yard and cannot be moved, according
to reports received here. The vast
number of Shriners' trains which con
gest the local yard have resulted in
the car being shut in and there is
small prospect that it will be moved
until some of the special trains take
their departure.
i This carload of gasoline was pur
chased from an independent refinery
at Bakersfield and shipoed to thU
county by local freight for distribu
tion to local dealers. The Union Oil
company permitted the use of their
storage and delivery facilities to dis
tribute the fluid and as soon as the
freight congestion in Portland can be
relieved, local autoists will be able to
get a more liberal helping of gasoline.
Portland and Astoria will be made
ports of call for the Johnson line of
motorships operating to Scandina
vian countries, according to advice
-received Dy tne port traiiic bureau
providing sufficient cargo, a min
imum of 2000 tons , is offered.

WITHYCOMBE ORCHARD
. WAS NOT DAMAGED
Wm. R. Withycombe, of Gaston,
who has one of the finest walnut or
chards in the country, was a Forest
Grove visitor Saturday and renewed
his subscription to the county's lead
ing paper. He says his orchard
was hurt but very little by the cold
weather of last winter and will bear
its usual crop of nuts this season. '
Being favorably situated on the up
lands, his success gives another
boost to the upland orchard dis
tricts which have already made good
on prunes , and now seem to be the
safe place for walnuts as well.

advertising for bids and will install
such equipment immediately. But

costs a lot of money it doesn't cost
as much as one big fire. Hillsboro
