now want to discuss a few OF these
products with which am personally
familiar While these vegetables
were being imported in the United
States and sold at fancy prices, better
qualities OF the same products in many
instances were rotitng on the ground
for want of market. To my personal
knowledge, carloads of beans and peas
were left unpicked in the gardens OF
the Rio Grande Valley; and tons OF
onions rotted in the fields of South
west Texas for want of a market. Each
individual item in the list is a chal-
lenge to. our system of distribution
and proves the wisdom of Congress
in appropriating funds for a market
bureau.
The American farmer has solved the
problems of production and he is now
confronted with the question of mark
citing his products. While he is sell
ing staple articles on a glutted mar
ket and his perishable products foul
the air with their stencil for want of
a buyer, the consumer is importing his
supply from abroad or living in want.
The Nations menu must be made up
from the fields, pastures, orchards
and gardens and to farm intelligently,
the farmer must know what is needed.
The American people stand ready to
pay reasonable price for things they
want, but substitutions can only be
made at unsatisfactory prices. 1t is
the mission of the farmer to feed the
world on the things they want to eat.
The means of communication between
the producer and consumer are made
quate. The voice of the consumer is
hardly audible beyond the city limits,
and there are no authoritative high
ways of intelligence between the sell
er and the buyer over which informa-
ton can safely travel. l have prev
iously suggested the common carriers
as an information bureau, and with the
assistance of government believe
they can render efficient service to
both producer and consumer.-Peter

MANY MOTORISTS
KNOW THEIR CARS
Owners Able to Tell What Is
Wrong When Machine Is
Stalled on Road.

When riding behind the powerful
engines of modern automobiles few
people appreciate the harmony of the
infinite number of working parts
which afford to them the delightful
pleasure of annihilating distance.
Here Is involved the skill of the
chauffeur in affording to the owner
real service.
To the casual observer it seems an
easy matter to handle the powerful
car. but upon the operator rests the
added responsibility of mechanical
efficiency.
The day is past when owners of cars
accept any excuse such as the muffles
being short circuited" when their car
quite often know as much about the
automobile as the driver and are
therefore placed In a position to prop
erly judge unnecessary delays. These
delays are often caused by unreliable
ignition.
The carbureter system will rarely
give trouble, except in cases of foul
or dirty gasolene. To overcome a de-
| lay from this cause. one needs only
to drain off the carbureter or clean
out the pipe line. without necessarily
changing the carbureter adjustment.
II II should be found necessary to re-
move the needle valve or other parts,
careful note as to their proper re-
placement should be made.
When all wiring is in place this is
usually the source of trouble. How
ever, should the cylinder compression
be found good and the plugs in repair
and clean, the next in order is an in
spection Of the magnetic itself. Assum-
ing all wires free from leakages and
the primary connections tight, the
trouble will invariably be found in
the timer or circuit breaker.
This may be foul with oil and dirt,
or the platinum points may be found
corroded, thus preventing clean
making and breaking of the primary
| circuit This part cleaned and the
| points properly adjusted, will invari-
ably touch the spot, so to speak.

CONSTRUCT MOTORS
OF STANDARD TYPE
Move of 1918 to Establish
in Public Mind a New
Type of Automobile.

Every year develops a new tendency
for motor car construction. The one
movement fro which the 1917 American
built motor cars seem to be distinctive
is Standardization This movement IS
emanating from the medlum-priced cars
and the attempt seems to be to estab-
lish in the minds of the public third
and heretofore undiscovered type of
motor car. namely, the standardized
type-that is, as contrasted with the
assembled and manufactured types.
Regarding standardization, one OF
WashinEton's best known dealers has
this to say:
There is no question, but that the
future growth of the automobile IN
Gustry will largely be determined by the
readiness with which the public accepts
standardization as an actual fact. There
are two distinct tendencies in manu-
featuring among automo6iie makers
the European method and the American.
The European maker relies on hand-
work: the American maker on auto
matte machinery, depression or over
head charges. and the adoption d
standard construction.
LAS a result of the American method
of manufacture, the American deale.
can sell an exceedingly good car at an
exceedingly reasonable price. The sue
cessful American invasion of the Euro
pean continent is made possible by this
adoption of standardization. 1t mas
been responsible for the cognizance
which the European manufacturer mas
: taken of our automobile industry.
The general impression hitherto has
been that there were only two types
of motor car built in America, ana
that these types were the manufac-
, tured and assembled. Any car all the
parts of which are built in single
factory has come to be distinguished
as the; manufactured type. The car
which is assembled in a single factory
after its parts have been built else
where. has come to be distinguished
as the assembled car. The crux OF
the whole situation, however, is that
there is no such thing as car all
parts of which are built in single
factory, and it is equally true that
the so-called assembled-type car Is
rapidly going out of existence.
3 Permit me to qualify this last state
ment by explaining how the assem-
bled car UP to this time has been built
The first thing determined in the con-
struction of an assembled car has
been it's price Whatever parts coulC
be bought and installed and still leave
possible the sale of the car at the
Established price were incorporated
You can readily see that under this
method, if the engineering department
of a factory selected certain motor
because of its efficiency and the price
of this motor would not permit tht
car to be sold at the price originally
set, this motor would be disregarde &c
and the cheaper one substituted
throughout the entire car this fac
held true. The car was built to sell
pot tn rive service"

AVOID VIOLENCE N
ENGAGING CLUTCH
Here's List Of Valuable "Don'ts"
for the Guidance Of Auto
mobile Owners.

Start the car gently. Let in the clutch
slowly Avoid driving with the wheels
on car tracks. Don't let the engine
labor when going up hills. but change
to a lower gear In plenty Of time. Don't
throw brakes on suddenly. A gradual
application retards the car more ef-
fectively.
Use the hand brake occasionally
When the car Is left stationary. see that
the change-speed lever Is In the neutral
position and side brakes on. Keep the
tires pumped to the proper pressure.
Drive slowly when turning corners or
when travelling over greasy roads.
Don't forget to give the axles. all joints.
as well as the shackle bolts. regular
fabrication.
Make a thorough examination Of the
car at frequent intervals, and ascertain
that all nuts. etc, are tight Give par
ticular attention to the brakes. Re-
member that good compression Is the

instructions on Subject to
Novices in Driving.

Lack of proper fabrication is the
origin of more serious trouble to the
perfect, working of motor than any
other csnse | know says S. z. Watts,
chief engineer of the Hupp Motor Car
Company.
Most motor manufacturers realize
this evil ard have gone to considerable
trouble and expense In issuing instruc
tions to the novice and educating him
u the point where he will understand
the seriousness of neglecting this vital
question.
"Of course a great deal lies in the
system of lubricating employed for the
motor, and no owner wants to be con-
tinually bothered and worried on the
question whether or not his machine Is
being properly fabricated. That is why
in the Hupmobile we have inaugurated
the pressure feed system, which assures
perfect positive oiling at all times.
Like Grindstone.
You remember the old grindstone
which used to sharpen the axe and
other instruments about the farm
how the force of the stone as 1t revolves
has a tendency to throw the water up
into the air, and sometimes even as
high as your face. This system is put
into practice in oiling the Hupmobile,
hut we use the fywheel of the motor in
place Of the srindstone-
The liywheel runs continually in a
hath OF oil with its rim close TO the
bottom of the tank. AS II revolves the
1 oil lis lifted with considerable force into
I the proper tap, where II passes through

I TOD Of the crank case. From here II Is

DRIVING DEPENDS
ON PROPER DESIGN
Properties to Make At Easy Are
Obtained Only in Construc-
ton Of Correct Type.

To the man who operates his own
car easy driving Is an important factor.
Maximum easy driving can be obtained
only through correct design all through
the car.
The properties in car which result
in easy driving are obtained not only
through the type Of construction used
In the steering gear. but through the
type of design used throughout" re-
marked a we'll known motor car dealer
of this city. Light weight" he con-
tinued, 'is a most important factor in
the easy driving of the car.
ut is, however. through the steering
device that easy driving is first felt.
Take. for instance, the type of steering
oevicc which Is not irreversible- IL
r,eans that II is not necessary to pull
hard at the wheel to get the car back
into a straight course after 1t has oeen
turned around corner or to dodge
some obstruction in the road. With the
irreversible type Of steering gear. the
driver has to exert the same. amount
of effort to get the wheels back into
a straight course as he does to turn
working. at the steering wheel to keep
the car in the read.
+ Keep Course.
with the non-irreversible type the
wheels tend to keep themselves in the
proper course when the. ear is moving.
That is, after they have been turned to
round corner or to dodge distractions
In the road, or when the car is being
driven in ruts. the wheels. without any
unusual effort on the par. of the driver,
keeps the car in the course.
''This automatic action on the part of
the steering gear to keep the car in It's
proper course greatly reduces the strain
on the driver SO that the effort of steer
ing is very much less than with the
usual car.
Light weight has a big effect on the
easy driving Of the car. The light
weight car offers less resistance to the
efforts of the driver as APPLIED through
the steering system. The various forces

Making Turns.


This is especially noticeable when
making turns. The centrifugal force
which tends to throw the car away from
the curve and out of the course has to
be overcome through the steering sys-
TEN and In heavy car this centrifugal
force is a vefy powerful factor which
the driver must overcome.
when heavy weight is combined with
an irreversible steering device the driver
is constantly working against the forces
created by the momentum of the car
first in one direction and then In anoth-
er.
Outside of the actual steering Of the
car. easy driving Is matter of COM
fort to the driver himself. IL the car
is not easy riding, driving soon wears
him out, for not only does the driver
have to overcome the various forces in
the car which are constantly working
against his keeping II In the course he
wishes to drive, but he is being con-
stantly jolted around by the hard riding
of the car"
