boxes which NJ into the curves and

There Are Many Things
About an Engine To
Make Bother.

There are few people who have ever
had anything to do with automobiles
who have not had experience with the
motor which would not go and with
out any dlscoverable reason why It
didn't go. 1t is impossible to give all
the reasons for failure. but a few Of
them may help.
One OF the first things to know is the
condition of the spark: test the bat

are any dead cells throw them out. See
that the connectors do not touch each
other, then try the spark; II you have
a one-quarter-inch good jump. or. II 1t IL

engine frame. and II the spark shows
hot and lively. look further for your
trouble.

Like a corporation, Douglas county has board
of directors, in which most power is vested. This
board is the Board of County Commissioners. Other
county officers have powers with which they are
vested under state law that to great extent they
act independently of the county board but in other
matters the board is supreme.
Each county commissioner is the chairman of a
committee and member of all committees The
chairman in each committee, however, generally is
permitted to have his way when problems are to be
