Everyone knows now that the grade of gasoline 'is on the decline, and that probably high-grade gas, or even, the gas of a year ago, will never come back. And like a man who has been on a high-grade diet and is suddenly given a low-grade diet, many engines in automobiles now have gasoline indigestion. The Chalmers engine digests gas probably as no engine ever before has done. It makes high power out of low-grade gas. , It makes gasoline work harder than gasoline ever worked before. Anyone who knows anything about an engine knows that the everlasting riddle has been to get the gas in just exactly a 100 condition of vapor in the combustion chamber before ignition. The great Chalmers engine has accomplished this, so far as any engine probably ever will be able to do, by means of two clever devices. One is a "hot spot" feature which heats and "breaks up" the gas after it eaves the carburetor and before it gets to the intake manifold. The other is the "ram s horn" manifold that, by means of its "easy air bends," sends the gas to the combustion chamber well-nigh perfect. ' Hence, morepower out of less gas. On a cold day remarkably quick results in starting are obtained. No longer a 10-minute fight with your engine. And as soon as the Chalmers engine starts it runs smoothly and delivers power quickly. Often cars take ten minutes of running to "warm them up." But not so with the current Chalmers. And if you weren't a shrewd judge of an automo-, bile, you might overlook some of the other notable features of the current Chalmers, so great has become, the achievements of its engine. Go down to our salesroom and let us show you the great Chalmers engine and the perfection of the current Chalmers.

B. DETROIT SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE Vaughn & Sons AQENTS, HEPPNER S. E. Notson, of this city, makes public a request received from Rich ard M. Hurd, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the American Defense Society, urging citizens here to organ ize a local vigilance corps, for the purpose of aiding the Government in putting an end to German propagan da and enemy activity which has been responsible for fires, ammunition plant explosions, sabotage, food scares and other attempts to damage the morale of the American people. "Recent events in this country make it plain that the German meth od of propaganda which has been so effective in Russia and Italy is now being attempted in this country with an alarming degree of success," ac cording to the appeal to Americans now being Issued by .the American Defense Society, "German propagan da nas long been supplied to our troops in the national encampments. The ship-building program is being Interfered with by German-inspired strikes. Germans aro directing the hoarding of food supplies to an ex tent 'that panics have already been prevalent In the leading cities. News papers are giving daily reports of fires In ammunition plants and grain de pots and the country is now on the verge of an even greater calamity in the shape of a railroad strike of un precedented extent which threatens to cripple our national Industry." The far-reaching need of the local Vigilance Corps can readily be seen when it Is known that in this country alone there are today several million alien enemies represnting Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey and other countries sympathetic or allied with the Prussian autocracy. Almost without exception these enemies are tree to go about as they see fit, and while the Government has done much toward tightening the censorship of malls and cables, nevertheless there are numberless channels by which thee enemies are in touch with the directing genius of German propagan da in Berlin. It Americans mean to stand by the men at the front, whose lives are al ready being sacrificed, and to stand by their Government, the opportunity Is 'offered In the additional service they can give to this work of the Am erican Defense Society. The plan of organization under taken by the Society and recommend ed to loyal Americans provides for the enrollment of a small American Vigilance Corps in every city and town which shall classify all residents under the following terms: 1. Loyal. 2. Disloyal. 3. Doubtful. 4. Unknown. Following the general classify tlon of citizens the Committee is ur ged to make further designation of the following list: 1. Alien enemy. 2. Pro-German. 3. Anti-Government. In the letter of instructions to branch organizations the Executive Committee of the American Defense Society gives the following direc tions: "At the earliest possible moment when you have made your classifica tion of alien enemies, pro-Germans and those opposed to the Government In this war, send this list to the Po lice Department, the local represent ative of the Department of Justice and to whatever representatives of the army or navy intelligence bureaus there are in your community. Do not let this matter rest, however, with the first classfication of the enemies. Too much stress cannot be put on the lm portance of having your own Vigil ance Corps take steps to watch alien enemies, pro-Germans and those op posed to the Government. Only by such co-operation will you be able to give effective aid to the Government Take every means you can to let the people of your city know the names of our enemies." Unofficial announcement has al ready been made at Washington that the Government is about to register the alien enemies in America. Your Committee already having acted a- long such lines, will naturally be in a position greatly to aid the Govern ment Census when such a census is taken. No doubt many attempts will be made to evade the official Govern ment Census and information on the enemies In your community will therefore be of the greatest value." "You are enjoined to watch the speech, associations and activities of every man whom you may suspect of disloyalty and to send in an immed iate report.
