WHY FORD CARS
HAVE LEAST WEIGHT
AND MOST POWER

An automobile expert Of national
reputation recently made some In
vestigations to discover for himself
the secret Of pulling power" and the
animation" OF Ford cars. Ford cars
are recognized everywhere as being
exceptionally light in weight, yet
they also have refused to take sec
ond position TO any car In ability to
go and come back" and to negoti-
ate grades. The engineer In question
wanted to know why. for the problem
Of weight Is nice one involving such
important factors as safety, power
and economy Of operation.
II IL well known that the number OF
cubic inches Of piston displacement
gives the fairest idea OF relative pow.
er and, therefore, furnishes an &C.
curate basis for comparisons Of the
pulling power In question. The IN
vestigator made some interesting dis
coveries. proving that the exceeding
ly high power per pound weight OF
the Ford Ia borne out by the results
obtained from q compilation OF ratios
Of weight to cubic inches OF piston
displacement. All the leading Amer
lean cars were compared. The aver
age for all except the Ford Is some
what over IL pounds Of total weight
to each cubic inch Of piston displace
ment. The Ford, It was found, has
the lowest weighttopower ratio OF
any car. Its figures of only 7.96
pounds to be carried by each cubic
inch of piston displacement shows
why It rides the hills 80 surely. why

over sand and ruts, and tough, rough
roads In spring, summer, autumn and
winter--the dependable, Universal

Umbrella Women

Many men treat women as they do
their umbrellas, said man the other
day. They want them in rainy times,
although in sunshine they can get
along very well without them. They
borrow them, forget to return them.
Take them out and forget where they
have left them. 1t seems hopeless
sort of situation for the woman un-
less she can take the male to some
sunny cline, where the hot sun calls
for a parasol for men, as well as
women, in which case she might be
a combination needed for sunshine as
well as for rain. A thing he could
not afford to lose, but must have
with him always.-New York Sun.

Highest Paid Navy

The United States navy, which has
been deprived of all Intoxicating
liquors, is the most highly paid of
the worlds navies. An American adj
miral draws $4,000 a year, as COM
pared with 81 900 allotted to the same
rank in Great Britain, and 5000 in
Germany; and all the other grades
Of officers are equally well paid in
proportion, remarks the London
chronicle Even on the lower deck it
is possible to draw pay amounting
to $50 month and every sailor af-
ter ten years service, is entitled to
substantial pension for life. There
is no need to become an American citi-
zen before enlisting. According to a
return issued two years ago, the Uni
ted States navy then contained 636
Germans, 435 Irishmen, 294 Swedes,
236 Englishmen, 232 Chinese and "a
japanese, besides 2,S75 foreigners who
had taken naturalization papers.

EIGHT REASONS

William Jennings Byran gives eight
good reasons why young men should
choose farming in preference to 9TH
er occupations and professions. They
are worthy of the consideration of
every young man who thinks of go
ing into business. They are as fol-
lows:
l. Farming is the most indepen-
dent way Of living.
2. Less capital is required to start
farming than to enter any other in
dependent business.
3. All members of the family can
participate in some way in the work
on the farm.
A. Farm life is healthful.
5. Farming develops useful hab-
it's of industry and application.
6. The farm provides the most
wholesome environment for grow
ing children.
z. Farm life teaches the true phil
osophy that labor is honorable and
worthy of reward.
8. The farmer is the most indie
pendent factor in our political life.

1t has been the ambition of every pillow
facturer in this country to make something to equal
the Diamond-and not one of them has succeeded.
Claims made in plenty, some on one thing, and
some on another, but you know the old saw about

We are going to make some claims ourselves.
and we will back them up with the pillow itself

of work. 1t is pillow that will hold up to the break
ing point of the evener and singletrees What more
can be asked?
Controlling Rod.-This controlling rod is
perior without exception to any similar device on
any other pillow made. No other pillow has the rear
wheel locked rgidly in position when blowing and
at the same time released automatically in turning.
A square may be turned without handling any
levers or lock devices. The ordinary variation of
the horses from straight path will not affect the
wheel particle. While blowing, the rod sim
ply holds the wheel firmly in line, but when turn
is made, the slotted the front furrow axle
is thrown in position that releases the wheel,
allowing it to castor naturally until the turn is COM
pleted. When straight pull is resumed the rear
wheel is automatically locked again.
Many plows equipped with so-called
controlling rods but own the patent which makes
this rod pivot over the center Of the axle, using
spring have the rod returned to its proper place
after turn has been made Some plows are piyoted
on the side of the axle, which allows too much play
in the rear Wheel Still others have other ways of
using this controlling device, but other makes of
plows the rod must be kicked into place every time
a turn is made. The controlling rod used on the p
& o. plows is the only which is absolutely auto
matte in every way and which allows the wheels
to automatically assume their normal position after
a turn has been made without handling any devices
