In proof of their charge, labor offi-

The Gasless Auto.
| Dr. Steinmetz, wizard of the elec-
| trical world, forecasts as near the era
| of “electrified railroads and gasless
| and steamless autos.” When Stein-
| metz speaks the country may well
| take notice. Steinmetz is a mathema-
| tician first and an electrical engineer
| second. He has never talked wildly;
| povor predicted what has not come
| true. He is accustomed to dealing
| with hard, cold facts, and when he
| makes dan unqualified assertion of the
kind he is entitled to the fullest atten-
tion.
| Electricity he believes will be the
| great motive power of the future, sup-
planting steam and gas at almost
turn. By making his electrici-
| ty at the mine mouth he would save
| coal. By utilizing the great water
| power resources of the country he
| would develop electrical power that is
| now going to waste.
|" Already the first links of the im-
' mense chain of power stations and
lines that will connect up the whole
| Atlantic seaboard and nearby terri-
{tory are being constructed. In time
| they will be delivering current even
more widely than the Standard Oil
! now distributes gasoline, and far more
| cheaply. : 3 Civitas
| Not only will there be a revolution
in automobile power when that trans-
| pires, but the whole industrial condi-
| tion of the country will begin to
| change. Universal electric current
| which may be tapped at will in a
thousand rural communities will bring
back ithe small shop driven out of bus-
iness by the big power-operated fac-
| tory. Instead of taking men from the
country to the city, it will encourage
them to remain in the country. It
will give the small industry opportu-
. nity to compete with the great and it
will revive an interest in craftsman-
ship such as we have not known in
these recent years of quantity produc-
tion.
Speed the day of cheap and univer-
sal electricity. It cannot come too
soon. Dr. Steinmetz speaks as one
| with authority and in a vein most
I pleasing to millions of Americans,
outside of and within the great cen-
' ters of population.—Ex.

Are Coming Here in| State Forest Lands Consolidated.
All of the state forest lands in
southeastern Clinton, southern Ly-
coming, eastern Centre and northern
Union counties have been combined
into one district, known as the Bald
Eagle State Forest. It was named in
honor of the well known mountain
and creek which are topographically
prominent in that section. The name
also perpetuates the memory of the
celebrated Indian chief, Bald Eagle,
who was an outstanding figure in the
local history. Col. Henry W. Shoe-
maker, of McElhattan, a member of
the State Forest Commission, sug-
gested the new title.
Tracts in that district which were
formerly known as state forests are
now termed divisions of the Bald Ea-
gle state forest. The McElhattan di-
vision, in Clinton county, retains its
former name in honor of William Mec-
Elhattan, who gave his name to Mec-
Elhattan run and postoffice. The for-
mer Tea Springs state forest, in parts
of Union, Centre and Clinton counties,
is now termed the Pardee division in
honor of Ario Pardee, a lumberman
who owned and operated within this
forest. The former Bald Eagle state
forest is now known as the Monsey di-
vision, in honor of the Wolf clan of
i
!in his domain. He prepared and dis-
| tributed 2000 posters bearing the slo-
gan, “Prevent Forest Fires—It
Pays.” He also placed thirty sign
boards bearing the same slogan along
the important roads in his forest.
Children in the rural schools were
given 2000 pamphlets dealing with
the evils of forest fires, and 2000
booklets, “Can We Afford to Have
Forest Fires?” were distributed
among business houses in Forester
Metzger’s territory.

Teaching You Thrift
Practice makes perfect. School-
masters of today as well as yesterday
constantly repeat that truth. Pupils
learn by applying it.
Application of that principle to our
everyday habits proves its practical
help. We learn by practicing, wheth-
er to be a good habit or a bad habit.
This bank teaches you thrift by
leading you to practice it. The lesson
is easily learned once it is begun. To
become perfect in it requires constant
practice. A savings account is the
most consistent method of practicing
thrift. Try it by starting an account
with us and see how easy and profita-
ble the habit becomes.
