1t Pays to Advertise

1.-THE Editor was favorably impressed
recently by the courtesy of the French
schoolboys of the Province of Quebec
He found himself alone one dav in the
street of a small French village. dirty and
generally disheveled as the result of an
automobile trouble. 1t was at the time
that the boys of the village were return
ing home from school and every group
of boys he met respectfully raised their
hats to the stranger. We could not help
thinking of the guying we probably
should have got had we appeared in such
an undigniied condition among a group
of Yankee school boys, and felt very keen
respect for the young French lads"

Who Carries The Load

James Smith was taken sick anC
lost the use of his right arm. He had
a wife and four children depenenu upoI
him, and for year he was out of work
and faced starvation. He lived in 8
modest frame cottage and his rent was
sixteen dollars a month. He had nc
money laid away wnen he was taken
sick, and only because the landlord was
kindly inclined did he have roof over
his head Neighbors and friends
helped him, and somehow he pulled
through that dreary year.
The landlord was not wealthy man;
he only looked so. He was property
poor" He owned about fifty houses,
and owing to depreciation in real estate
values and neral business stagnation
was unable % sell his real estate, and
lived on his rents. He was, on larger
scale, in almost as bad a condition as
his tenant.
For two years he paid no interest on
bllC IllOl hSbsO Oh Aullth . ohd
the taxes were in arrears for over three
years, A savings bank held the mort
gage, and was as patient with the land
lord as the landlord was with Smith.
Therefore the owner of the house was
not Smiths benefactor, but the bank.
The bank carried the load which the
sickness of Smith brought to the land
lord, and that is what banks are for,
Likewise in the matter of taxes The
city paid lit bills from tax money gath
from property owners like the landlord.
But when Smith paid no rent and the
landlord paid no taxes. the city had to
go to some bank and borrow until the
landlord paid up. And so another
bank came to the rescue and saved both
Smith and his landlord.
We owe great deal TO banks. They
carry many load the public never
sees. They ease the jars of life. They
furnish the steam to keep the engine
running. We could not get along with
out them.
Some day you may be out of work
and unable to pay your rent. As a
home-owner you may get behind in
your taxes; bat remember, somebody,
through the medium of bank, comes
to the rescue and carries your load
is easy, help carry someone else's load
by banking your money where it will
in quiet and unassuming way, do
some good to somebody besides your
self.
To be ready to meet your rainy day,
you must spend less than you earn The
sky may look very blue and the clouds
very far away; but be assured that it
will rain some time, and if your days
are not rainy ones, someone is out in
the slorm somewhere, and the bank
will carry for you the load tina comes

LEAVE MAGNETIC ALONE
KINDNESS Is APT TO SHORTEN
LIVES, SAYS AN EXPERT.
Some Good Advice That Owners VIII
Do Well to Fo.low-Finding Igni-
ticn Troubles.

Magnetos will thrive on inattention
and kindness will kill them, according
to Lee G. Carlton, assistant chief en-.
gineer of leading magnetic company
in a lecture delivered at Washington
Mr.. Carlton said:
Zone or two drops of oil for every
thousand miles that the car is run is
plenty. Any more than that will only
run off in the overflow. Any good,
thin-bodied oil will do. You pay more
for your magnetic than you do for your
watch. If your watch goes wrong you
take it to a jeweler. If the magnetic
goes wrong you take it down into the
cellar and take a hammer to it. You
only ruin the magnetic. You can't re-
pair it. That requires special tools,
and only the manufacturer can do it."
ETr. Carlton gave the following test
for finding ignition trouble:
Take the spark plugs out, lay them
on the cylinders with the wires still
connected to them, and then have
someone crank the engine over rapid
ly. If no spark occurs in the plugs,
clean and adjust the interrupter points
and repeat the test. If there is still
no spark, connect a wire to the high
tension collector brush and hold the
end of it near any metal part of the
engine while motor is being cranked.
and if the spark occurs in this test
the trouble is in the distributor
brushes.
IF you get no spark after these
tests, take the magnetic back to the
manufacturer. He is the only one who
ran rpDair if 4"
