Jefferson Potlocks Has Tooth Pulled.
Jefferson Potlocks, one Of our most
highly esteemed citizens, had a lively
encounter with Dock Hooks Friday
morning, when he went to the black
smith shop to have a tooth pulled.
Dock officiated in his usual rough-snod
manner, being a blacksmith by occu-
patton and a dentist by persuasion.
Jefferson was seated comfortably in
the barber chair, which Dock also
uses to good effect on Saturdays, and
told to look pleasant as the ordeal he
was about to go through was guaran-
teed not to be any more painful than
getting a haircut. Jefferson was told
to think of something pleasant and
smile with his mouth open, SO. that
Dock could look into it with the aid Of
a spyglass and a lantern. When Dock
got his pliers and was about to, lay
hold Of the offending tooth, Jefferson
became unruly, and finally the Deputy
Constable was called with nope OF
auieting jeff, but this had no effect,
and general struggle ensued,. and
lasted for several minutes. During the
excitement accompanying the tussle
there arose in Docks mind. doubt
as to which tooth it was that needed
pulling, and to make certain of getting
the right one, Dock had to pull ALI OF
them on the west side of his mouth.
Pulling them one at a time he would
show them to Jefferson, and ask him
if that was the right one, and at last
the right one was brought forth. Dock.
never does things by halves.

Digging a Ditch In a Flash

Things move quickly nowadays. The
village of Yesterday is tomorrow 5
metropolis. Speed is a requisite. and
newer methods that smack Of rapid
ty and labor and money saving are in
demand.
bitches that once consumed many
days Of hand or machine labor are now
being blasted out in almost the twin
king of an eye By degrees man is
learning to adopt some of natures sim
pie, but mighty forces. And the gull
lies and valleys that old Mother Earth
has created by her natural upheavals
and eruptions are being duplicated IN
a smaller way by some Of the more
progressive and up to date farmers.
Digging bitches with dynamite is
simply a newer and more improved
method of trench building. The meth
cd employed in wet work is simply to
punch holes from eighteen to twenty
four inches deep along the line desired
to ditch and then load each hole with
a charge of so per cent straight dyna-
mite.
Long stretches of ditch can be loaded
and fired at one time. One cap placed

4 single row of holes can usually be
depended upon to eXcavate ditch from
seven to nine feet wide and about thir-
ty to forty inches deep. Where larger
bitches are required the holes can be
made deeper and loaded heavier, or
two or more lines Of holes, spaced from
three to four feet apart, can be used.
incidentally the holes can be made in
the toughest kind of swamp or in food

ditching are practically impossible.
When the soil is dry or the weather
is too cold to use the propagated meth
cd of blasting described above low

used in holes spread farther apart,

The cheapest lineal foot of small

In memory of little Addie Holloway
who died Octoger IA, 1915:
There's a pair of little hands
Laid to rest forevermore
And two pearly, dimpled cheeks
Whose rich blossoming is over.
Death has sealed two little eyes
That will no more smile or weep,
Tiny windows of the soul,
Little Addie has gone to sleep.
There's another bud removed
Ere it felt the blight of sin,
Through the door the angels made
Darling Addie has passed in.
Far beyond the azure sky,
Where the tiny star eyes peep,
From all eartn's sad doubts and fears
Little Addie has gone to sleep.
She will wake in fairer lands,
Where the angels voices sing.
There the howeret shall expand,
There shall love perfection bring;
She has reached the golden shore
Through the river cold and deep,
Angels bore her safely DER,
So for her we may not weep;
Little Addie has gone to sleep.
"A Friend.

METHOD OF REPAIR
FOR WORN VALVES
Cure for Leaking Easily Accom-
phshed, Even Though Little
Skill Is Possessed.
BY c. P. sHATTUCK, NJ. e.

Worn valve stems and their guides
are responsible for the motor missing at
low speeds because extra air is drawn
in between the stems and guides by the
piston on the suction stroke. This ex-
ira air dilutes or thins the mixture
which Is slow burning. To overcome
the trouble another is generally added,
that created by increasing the supply OF
fuel which makes too rich mixture at
high motor speeds. Under these condi-
tions the motor will not deliver its
maximum power and fuel is wasted.
To remedy the trouJle 1t is necessary
to At new guides and generally new
valves. which Is expensive. II the
guides are cast integral with the cylin-
ders the cost Is greatly increased owing
to the machine work, and as a rule the
motorist does not care to incur the ex-
pense.
Any owner who can use n palt OF tin
shears and u rule, and who cal remove
and replace the valve springs, which Is
a simple matter. can cure leaking valve
stems and guides. Remove the springs
and make the measurements d and +
shown in the accompanying illustration.
Add or ss-inch for the dimension f.
also allow S4-inCh for bending at right
angles as shown at B. With these
measurements 1t Is a simple matter to
ascertain the amount of material re-
quired.

ALUMINIUM SMITH
SKILLED WORKMAN
Often Draws Higher Salary Than
Factory Superintendent, Says
Ohio Electric Man.

lhe craftsmen required to build
aluminium bodies for Ohio Electric cars
can be compared with the artfu! cop

Potomac Motor Company. Of Connecti-
cut avenue. The aluminumsmith must
not only thoroughly understand the ma
ture Of this metal, but must possess
an artistic taste to produce the grace
ful lines.
metal workers come to the United
states from Finland. Sweden and Ger
many. and command the highest price
that is paid to skilled workmen. They
draw a larger salary than many fac
tory supcrintendents.
"One pecularity OF this art Is that
workmen usually specialize In some
particular branch of it: consequently
the different operations are performed
by as many men. A large sheet Of
