Massachusetts Motoring Cost Exceeds
- Farming Income.
Boston, Oct. 12. The automobiles of
(Massachusetts are apparently con
suming an amount equal to tlie wealth
which citizens of the State take from
agriculture and the fisheries, said
Henry F. Long, Commissioner of Cor
porations and Taxation, speaking to
the Tax Collectors' Association today.
Massachusetts has been prosperous
in the last decade, he said,, but her
expenditures have kept pace with tbe
money coming into her pocket
"We have spent until it hurts," he
added. ""Let us not spend till It
breaks."

Represent Vour Town.
Every town iti the territory served
by the Tribune and Times should have
its representative or representatives
in the "Salesmanship Club." The er-1,
roneous idea prevails, to great extent,
with folks living in the smaller .
towns, that their chances of earning
one of the liest prizes nre perhaps not
as good as those residing in the larg
er towns. Nothing could be further v
from the true state of affairs. In
fact, it is far easier to get the sup
port of an entire, community wlfere
there is but one. contestant, than in .
places where there are more, and tbe
field is necessarily divided among
them. Persons residing in the, rural
districts linve a good chance of win- ,
ning one of the liest. prizes.
Don't hesitate to enter the race. ..
