Y. ", c. a. ACTIVITIES.

Five hundred and twenty. eight boys
and seventy-seven girls participated in
corn, potato, tomato, bean. beet and
poultry contests during the year. ac-
cordng TO figures just compiled 10y the
state executive committee Of the
Young Mems Christian association
This is purely a county association
work. the contests often being held in
conjunction with the county fairs. In
several instances chibs were formed
Tor the study of the products named.
The youthful agriculturists were in
structed by experts from the Michigan
Agricultural College and other institu-
tons OF the state, and in a number OF
cases showed father" how to get a
much larger yield per acre.
Nearly 100000 boys and girls were
enrolled during the year i'm the play
festivals and athletic contests Of the
fourteen organized counties in Y. NJ.
t.. \ work The exact number is 9,l9f.
All sorts OF games and contests were
held the idea OF the association being
that every child i'm the community
should bc given an opportunity for a
normal development through outdoor
exercise. The association method is
against the star" system Of training
"a few athletes to win all the honors
while the others look on.
The state committee OF the Michigan
d association has been svamped recently
10y the demand OF the unorganized
counties of the state for organization
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
sion. Half a dozen counties are now
insisting upon immediate forward
steps in that direction.
Forty counties. with population OF
l.2Oo.OOO. having sufficient population
and local resources remain to be or
sauized 10y the travelling secretaries of
The state association. At present there
are fourteen counties organized.
Il, is impossible FOR us to extend the
influence of the association to any
great number of these forty counties
until the state work is properly en-
lowed, said member of the state
committee. a campaign is now on to
raise 100000 for an endowment fund
by January /. once the state work is
made partially self-supportng by an
income from such sum, then we can
hope To organize the entire state of
Michigan

The motometer is one of the latest 1913
novelties of motor car equipment, which
has just been introduced on the market.
1t is new device to protect motors from

symptoms of such things as leaky radi-
ator, low water supply, pump out or
order, broken fan belt. faulty fabrication
and other things which produce overhead
ing develop. Heretofore It has been i'm
possible to ascertain the temperature or
the motor and cooling system except by
stopping the car and placing ones hand
on the radiator.

Of red indicating fluid. visible from the
seat while driving, either night or day, 1t

not only that 1t is interesting to watch.
but gives the driver a feeling or Sc

operated in winter at such a low tenn

require a far richer mixture than would
otherwise be niece ssary. Many other mo-

like the snow. the pretty snow.
That makes the world SO white!
1t covers every ugly thing
And hides 1t from sight.
When he reached the Smiling Pool
Peter had to pinch himself twice to be
quite sure that it really was the Smil-
ing Pool. You see it wasn't smiling
any more. No, sir there wasn't bit
of smile to it. He could hear the
Laughing Brook still laughing, although
as in the warm summer time. and when
he looked over to it 1t didn't dimple
and sparkle and CLEAN as he remem-
bered it used to do. 1t looked black and
cold and somehow the very sound of It's
laugh made Peter Rabbit shver. He
looked again at the Smiling Pool. and
then he stared and stared with his mouth
wide open In the most foolish way. What
was the matter with the Smiling Pool
anyway?
Something certainly was the matter
The Smiling Pool looked hard and CLASSY.
Instead of sinking out of sight, as II
ought to have. it slid along on the
surface of the Smiling Pool. Peter
stared more than ever and crept nearer
to the edge of the bank. Now, what
happened next Peter never could explain.
he thought Anyway. the first thing
he knew his feet had slipped from under
him and down the bank he was sliding
fiat on his back.
Peter closed his eyes and held his
breath and waited for the plunge into
the cold water. Instead he landed with
a bump that knocked all the breath out
of him.
"Ohr' cried Peter Rabbit. and for a
full minute lay still. staring up at jolly,
round, red MIR. Sun, who was looking
down and laughing at him.
"Ohr' cried Peter again. and tried to
scramble to his feet. But something
was the matter with his feet. Each
foot seemed to want to go in different
Correction. Down went Peter again and
bumped his nose. The more he struggled
the more bumps he got and the more
frightened he grew. Finally, when he
was quite out of breath. he very care
fully sat up. And where do you think
he found himself? Why right on the
middle of the Smiling Pool. Peter Rab-
bit had learned what ice is.

will do more than ever toward increasing
the popularity of motor trucks, both in
the cities and in the small towns.
There are this year almost twice as
many shows where motor trucks will be
on view.
THE motor truck industry has become
such large one that in New York
the exhibits will occupy two buildings.

the Coliseum. the Annex and an armory
adjoining. In Philadelphia more space is
found necessary.
This year has been an extremely pros

their attention toward the motor car

In large cities the business men are

trucks at one time during the day.

forth along these lines is by Representa-
tive Stanton Warburton of Washington
state. who contends for a system of ma

proposes to make the tobacco users OF
the country pay for the building of these
national highways through the imposition
of a tax so small that the smokers will

the lines between the capitals along the
most feasible routes. with the states
granting to the government the selected
roadways, together with the improve

additional income from this source as "A

"SIX LITTLE YANKEES"
Prevents Carbon Depositing From
Cylinders, Is Claim.

A new preparation to remove carbon
deposit from cylinders is attracting the
attention of motorists. 1t is claimed for
the invention, which is called six Little
Yankees that it does away with the
necessity of having the cylinders scraped
and cleaned by the easy method Of plac-
ing six Little Yankees in each cyl
inder every 800 miles or so Of travel.
Loss of power is usually attributed to
carburetor trouble by the majority of
motorists. In the majority Of cases it is
due to carbon deposit in the cylinders
To enrich the gas mixture by increasing
the gasoline flow in the carburetor. while
it frequently increases the power tempo
rarily, eventually adds to he carbon de-
post and necesstates even more frequent
cleaning of the cylinders.
The new method of carbon removal
does not require time or trouble. The
motor is started and as soon as 1t has
warmed up the six Little Yankees is
placed in each cylinder by removing the
spark plugs Allow the motor to stand
for about five minutes while the material
dissolves, then the motor may be started
again. For a short time a foul Hing
black smoke will issue from the exhaust.
1t will be found that the power has been
Increased to the maximum.
The preparation has been tested for
about year by score Of experienced
motorists and they have found it to be
efficient in every way. While these cars
have been run many thousand miles, it
has not been found necessary TO have the
motors taken apart and the cylinders
scraped or the valves ground in. The
full motor efficiency has always been
available and the so-called carburetor
trouble has never appeared. knock
ing motor is unknown, and as the full
power of the motor can be secured with
a minimum supply of gasoline. the run
ming is made most economical Expert
ments have shown that the mileage per
gallon of gasoline increases materially
and the smoothness of the motor is most
marked
The "Six Little Yankees is a Phila-
deLphia product. During the past week
agencies were placed with Barber &
Ross, National Electrical Supply Company
and Irwin T. Donohoe.
