Average drivers are getting from 18 to 25 miles per gallon. The efficient valve-in-head motor uses less gasoline and oil than other motors of its size, They are also getting unusual tire mileage.

C- Hamilton (United Press staff correspondent) New York, .Sept- 19 Just three more victories for the Giants and the Na tional league 1917 pennant race will b'e over. And by the same kind of figuring the White Sox need only seven more contests' to make it impossible for the Ked Sox to head them off. The Giants today are ahead of the Phillies by twelve anil a half games, with fourteen more games remaining on their schedule. The Phillies must still play fifteen. If the Phillies win fifteen straight thev will wind up the season with 92 victories and 60 de feats, which would give them a per centage of .(i05. If the giants win three more they would have a percentage of .lilO at the end of the season, if they lost all their other games. The White Sox are out in front by eight full games, with eleven contests left. The tied Sox have seventeen' to play before it is a season's work. If the I'hicagoans win seven more the lowest possible percentage they could finish with would be .0132. The Ked Sox, by winning 17 in a roy-, could fin ish with a mark of .055- The Ked Sox are hanging on tight. They are winning just as consistently of late as are the White Sox, but they are billed with the stronger teams of! the leauuo now and will have to fight harder to maintain an unbroken string of victories. The Giants are practically through with the hard knocks. When they fin ish with Chicago they go to Pittsburg. REDUCING OF PRICES OBJECT OF President Invited Chicago, Sept. 19.

St. Paul and Louisville wero tied for second place today and it both win their final games, a series of five or seven games probably will bo arranged between them as a piay on.

A return postal cam uuu.tou v Farmers' Patriotism Broad Enough to Make Up for Others Lack of It St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 1.8 "Farmers and wage earners are willing and ready to support any law that makes for the success of this war for liberty and de mocracy." That is the answer of President A. C. Townley of the National Non Partisan league, to the charges that tho farmers are holding wheat and resisting the food administration becaime the price fixed by the government was less than expected. It was also his answer to charges that farmers of the northwest are not wholeheartedly behind the war. He sounded the keynote at the produc ers and consumers' .conference on tho high cost of living here today. Governor Lynn Frazier of North Da kota presided. Senator Gronna, one of the "wilful twelve," is the leading speaker on tonight 's program. "The farmers' patriotism is big enough and broad enough to make up for the war profiteers' lack of patriot ism and manhood; and, if necessary, the farmer will go on producing food for less than cost, even with profits vultures clutching at his throat; he will feed the world and its armies of freedom to make the whole world safe for liberty and democracy," Townley declared. "The purpose of this convention is to aid, strengthen and support the gov eminent, and expedite its efforts to finish its program to reduce prices, "It is the duty of every citizen of democracy to abide by the will of the majority. It is the duty of those placed in authority to seek out and obey the will of the majority." jjc jfC jjc Sjc sjc )c Sjt 9jc ss jjc 9c 3C 3fc )fc JC (Mm A, sir MSWA ii i-i America's Choice - Used by the Army and Navy. f The shine that stands the weather. a 0 Preserves and softens leather.

The money for this equipment will be taken from the flax fund, which amounts to about $12,000. It was decided by the board of con trol at a meeting yesterday afternoon to use coal at the Oregon state hospital instead of wood, as had been planned, It was found that not enough wood could be cut by the convicts to supply the institution. Coal from the Coos Hay mines will be used Fire vesterdav afternoon threatened the destruction of prison flax plant and other buildings but the heroic work of the prisoners saved tne plant, accoru-ino- tn Warden Murphv.

Press Agents Rapped by Los Angeles Editor Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 18. Prob lems which must puzzle the newspaper man today are those which puzzle him when the newspapers came into being. Harry E. Andrews, managing editor of the Los Angeles Times, said today in an address on "New Newspaper Prob lems," delivered before the 29th an nual meeting of the Southern California Editorial association. "There ain't none," said Mr. An drews, who discussed the subject in a vein of pleasantry, declaring that the news print problem was the most vex atious thiug that troubled the first newspaper publisher in California: that the competition problem harrassed the first newspnper printed in America, and the contributor on which the soldier will;., t ,j,)Ci su;t problem got the sec ond newspapci published in America into jail. Mr. Andrews attacked the space stealing "publicity agents," and blam ed editors who let them smuggle puf fery into their papers in the guise of j alleged newa. He declared that the press agents had stolen a milium muim the publishers of Southern California. pen his appreciation and gratitude for the gin.

Tho only known treatment which will do this, aside from a painful, ex pensive surgical operation, is the appli cation of ordinary mercolized wax, which- is as harmless as it is effective. Tho wax is put on at night, just as you apply cold cream, and washed off in the morning. It absorbs tho dead and half dead Biirface skin in almost invisible flaky particles, a little each day, no discomfort being experienced. With the disappearance of the old cu ticle, tho newer, healthier skin under neath gradually appears, richly beauti ful with the flush of youth. This mer colized wax, which you can get at any drug store in original package, is in deed a veritable wonder worker. Big potato stories are so raro that great interest should attack to such as this one, which is from tho Enter prise Reporter: "Ben Owenby of tho Imnaha country, brought some fine po tatoes to the Enterprise market the fore part of the week. Three brought to this office weighed four pounds. Who can beat that?" Why Oakland Model 34 Is the Sensible Six Look at the Oakland Six now on display at Halvorsen & Burns', from any angle, study it as a complete ma chine, or as a thing of many separate units whatever your viewpoint, this car appeals to your common sense. Tt satisfies your desire for good invest ment, for power, comfort, and perform ance, for attractive lines and distinct ive style and it does all this at a cost which good judgment tells you is a sensible price. The new Oakland model is sensible because it is a six. It has tne flexibility and power linked with simplicity .of construction aijd economy of operation whicb users of cars have found to be best obtained in this type motor. It is sensible because it is a power ful car. The Oakland six motor devel ops 41 h. p. nt 2500 R. P. M. It gives 1 h. p. to every 53 pounds of car weight and this is greater proportionate pow er than is given in any other stock car wo know of. It is sensible because it has a high speed, overhead valve motor. High siieed motor means economy, flexibil ity, and power at the speeds you use most. Valve in bead construction means greatest efficiency of fuel, and in the sensible six it means unusual accessi bility of valves and cylinders. It is sensible because it is a light weight car. The sensible six weighs 2150 pounds, yet it is a big, powerful, easy riding car, strongly and rigidly built throughout. This insures econo my of tires and fuel. It is sensible because it is a very roomy car. The wheelbase is 112 inches and because the motor is compact, tho body of the sensiblo six is extra long There is 6 inches more leg room than in our big model 32, the seats are wid er and the sides are higher. It is sensible because of its wondc? tires 32x4, long, semi-elliptic, 51 inch, rear springs and increased wheelbase have greatly improved the road action of the new model, and make it one of the most comfortable and easy, rid ing cars ever built. It is sensible because of its low cost of operation. The Oakland six will con sistently give its owners from 18 to u miles of travel to every gallon of fuel. Because the tires are bigger than needed for the weight of tho car, tire mileage is much above tho average. It is sensible because it has "made good." Model 34 is not an experiment, but a known quantity the product of time tested experience and actual road service. It is a continuation of and im provement upon the Oakland model 32, which is being used today by more than 25,000 highly satisfied owners.
