Keep Crank Case Clean.

Because all of the oil contained in
the crank case Of an engine Is not used
up before a new supply must be put In,
he novice is apt to fail to appreciate
he need OF purging the case and re-
newing the entire oil supply from time
to time. This Ia absolutely necessary,
however, because the residue left aft
er much oil has been used ia largely
devoid OF its former ~lubricatinz prop
critics, and contains a large proportion
OF carbon and some water. Adding
'resh oil to this merely dilutes It, as
It were, and furnishes q deceptive re-
suit in the matter Of quality. The ef.
tect Ia much the same as though poor
grade OF lubricant were employed.
Hence 1t Is absolutely essential that
the oil be drawn OF entirely at regular
intervals, thrown away and a new sup
ply Of fresh oil being put In in It's
stead.

COMBINED SHOWS ARE COMING.
The Wheeler Bros. Circus and Famous
Stampede Wild West.

All the contracts necessary for the innu-
merable details of the exhibition of large
circus institution have been made for the early
appearance in this city of the Wheeler Bros,
Circus and the Famous Stampede Wild West.
This is one of the worlds largest amusement
enterprises, and because of its peculiar combi-
nation it is probably the most interesting.
1t is advertised by the management that it is
without peer in point of performance, and it
would seem as if this boast is justified in a
combination which includes two such shows,
The Wheeler Bros has for years been conced-
(ed place in the front rank of circuses. and in
many points it has been given the first place.
1t could not be exceled for its horses, the
quality and completeness of its equipment or
the attention given to the numerous details
which are essential for the production of q
performance of unusual merit. Although The
Wheeler Bros. have always refraned from
featuring some fve-second act as thriller.
used purely for advertising purposes, their
patrons have always found many surprises in
store, and now they have come forward with,
the boss thriller of them ala Mexican Bull
Fight, a thrilling reproduction by the Mendaza>
troupe of genuine Mexican bull fighters.
When the combination of the Wheeler Bros~
Circus Famous Stampede Wild West was ac-
co complished, the amusement world was not
surprised, as the combination had been pre-
dicted, The deal was a fortunate one foe
amusement patrons, inasmuch as they are now
able to see the two shows for the prices form
erly charged for one. To enable the perform~
an ces of the two exhibitions to be given stimuli
tan eously and without cutting out single act
of either, has been great herculean task, but
it as been accomplished, and the result wilf
be seen when the Wheeler bros. Circus & Fa-
nous stampede Wild West Shows appear in
Belfast on June 11th. A grand spectacular
street parade will be given in the morning and
performances in the afternoon and evening
