'For the information of automobile owners who desire to take out their license for 1918 the highway depart ment states that a supply of applica tion blanks for 1918 have been for warded to every dealer in the state, and also a supply has been sent to the clerk of court, of every county. Own ers can obtain same by applying to these dealers, or to the clerk of court, and thus save considerable time, as in most cases they can obtain the neces sary information as to the horse pow er of their automobile, the motor num ber, the model, style and such Infor mation required by the highway de partment before the license can be is stJed. A simple referene to th 1917 license number is not sufliont and an application must be filled out and sent In for each motor vehicle. As the time is getting very short and no authority is given any One uman In the state, or to any group of men, save the legislature, to extend the time limit it would be wise for all owners of motor vehicles to make ap plication promptly so as to get tlheir license plate at the earliest possible moment. Up to Saturday night, Jan uary 19th, less than half of the licenses issued for 1917 have been taken out for 1918, and though the highway depart meant Is working over time they will not be able to Issue all licenses before February 1st. iowever, this will be no excuse for automobile owners and under the law they cannot operate their motor vehicles without the 1918 license plate on same, whether they have made application for their license or not.
