How Gasoline Engines Work.

In the practical operation Of a gasO-
line engine there are several parts.
each characterized by a particular
event. The cylinder is charged by an
outstroke Of the piston, creating 2
vacuum behind it and drawing in the
mixture of air and gasoline gas formed
in the carburetor. The charge is then
compressed by the return stroke of the
piston, which act secures complete car
burization of the contained air and re-
duces the mixture to the proper condi-
ton to be kindled by the igniting
spark or other source of firing. This
causes it to explode. or to expand sud
denly and with great effect. and drive
the piston outward again. The fourth
stroke which is the one immediately
following the explosion is known as
the exhaust stroke from the fact that
the piston. moving back again in the
cylinder eXpels the products Of com
bustion through the exhaust valve
This process completed, the parts are
In position for a repetition of the proc
ess, the valves for admitting gasoline
gas to the cylinder being opened again.

Compulsory Road Dragging.

The Illinois legislature has just
passed law that ought to prevail IN
Wisconsin. The Illinois law makes road
dragging compulsory in every town
ship. Three to five dollars per mile for
each mile of road in the township is
set aside for road dragging purposes
and cannot be used for any other pur-
pose. This is mandatory upon the town
authorities. We have had very try
ing season on the roads In Wisconsin
owing to so much wet weather, yet
wherever dirt roads have been properly
graded up and the road drag kept go
ing the verdict is that they are fine,
smooth and hard. The automobile peo-
pie who have toured the state report
this. Just why the state road commits
sion and the county authorities are so
slow in comprehending the virtues OF a
good dirt road kept we'll dragged IS
mighty hard to explain.
The disposition seems to be to spend
large sums of money in building costly
macadam and gravel roads and pay no
attention to the making of good dirt
road and, by systematic dragging,
keeping it good. This can be done at
small cost compared with the making
of other roads There is no form of
road that goes to pieces so quickly un-
der automobile wear as the macadam.
The gravel road will last three times
as long, and we'll kept dirt road of
proper shape will beat either gravel or
macadam. AS yet our ideas of road
building are too expensive and costly.
1t is time that as a people and officials
we get down to bed rock in this road
making matter. We need good pass
able roads everywhere at all seasons
of the year and the properly shaped
dirt road kept we'll dragged will give it
to us and at quarter of what other
roads cost. Fort Atkinson Union.

For the first time in many years the
normal schools and the university have
found a common interest. For SIX
months past their energies have been
devoted to a campaign at Madison to
prevent the passage of central board
bill which would place all schools of the
state under one administrative head.
Heretofore they have been at logger
heads with each other, the normals
against the university and the various
normals against each other. This year
they have given an exhibition of their
power as lobbyists that has astOnished

TIME was when the farmers business
was deemed scarcely worth going after,
if going after it meant any special eff
fort. Little or no effort was required
to stock the country store-keeper with
such brands of fve-cent cigars, and
sacks of smoking and plugs of chewing
tobacco as, it was haughtily determined
by the manufacturer and the jobber,
his bucolic patrons would likely de-
mand. Today we find the farmer con-
sidered as the best customer OF the
motor car manufacturer who put out
cars at from 5000 to $1900-not cheap"
cars, mind you-and he is widely Guilt
waited by the talking machine, piano,
player piano, telephone and public ser
vice men. In the lesser-priced com
modities Of life he buys trade-marked
clothing as we'll as linen collars, com
Portable underwear, advertised food
products. In fact, he seemingly buys
everything but good cigars. How was
this business gotten? Certainly by only
the vigorous cooperation of manufac-
turer and iobber. The manufacturer,
seeming the million-dollar increases IN
American crop values each year, told
the iobber to wake up. The jobber Sc
cured perhaps at first merely the film
siest entering-wedge in country stores
for his better-class lines. Sight OF the
more satisfactory goods produced de.
mand in the farmer, not the farmer of
olden days but one who has money in
his pockets as we'll as some in the
bank, besides. The best statesmen in
many lines have come to realize that
the farmer, scientific agriculturist, it
YOU please, is human and as fond of the
really good things of life as anybody
else. u. S. Journal.

Lincoln AND the Preachers.

I talked once with an old man who
heard the Lincoln and Douglas debate
at Bloomington, ILL.,, who said, Il re-
member Lincoln quoted Scripture like
a preacher" Browne, one of his biog-
raphers, wrote: ''He made frequent
use Of Bible language and of illustra-
tions drawn from Holy Writ. 1t is said
that when he was preparing his Spring
field speech of 1858 he spent hours try
ing to find language to express the cen
trail idea Finally a Bible passage
flashed through his mind, and he ex-
claimed, "a house divided against itself
cannot standr" Mark iii, 25.) In his
second inaugural he quoted twice from
Matthew and once from the Psalms.
1t would seem that in every crisis of
his life he sought Bible inspiration and
divine guidance. While he was run
ming for congress he declared his re-
ligious attitude when, pulling a small
Bible from his pocket, he said to min
isterial friend, eff I read this book
Alright every preacher ought to be with
ma IN this contest, christian Herald.

OUR new insurance commissioner III
an address to insurance agents declares
that next to the reduction Of fire waste,
the most important problem OF fire in
surance is an equitable distribution of
the burden of insurance cost, according
to value and hazard. "Anti-discrimi-
nation" he said, ''means that each
class and each risk bear its proportion
ate share according to the volume of
insurance and the hazard involved. 1t
is manifestly unfair for one owner or
one class to bear more than its just
share, in order to make up deficit
caused bv some other owner or class
paying less than it equitably should.
There is room for much improvement
in Wisconsin in the removal of exist
ing discrimination The company and
the agent can solve this problem. 1t
they don't do so and do so promptly,
the state, unless | mistake its temper,
will do it for them. This discrimina-
ton exists, not only between Individual
insurers but between classes of prop
erty. An adjustment of rates between
classes on the basis of hazard and loss
experience will result in lowering of
rates that meet the reasonable demand
of the insuring public The people and
the legislature have been patient with
the companies in the belief that this
question will be solved by them. That
patience and consideration should not
be imposed upon. Again, if companies
fail to meet the problem and to solve
it, that duty will be taken over by the
state

Home Rule and Taxpayers League
Work Just Begun.

In an address to its members the
Home Rule and Taxpayers League
says:
From present appearances 1t would
seem that the fight for relief from ex-
cessive taxation an bureaucratic gov
eminent has only begun. Some gains
have been made during the present ses-
sion of the legislature, but not what
the people demanded and had right
to expect. The so-called progressive
craze dies hard It's benefciaries want
to live off the people. The supporters
of bureaucracy imagine that they, and
thew alone, can be trusted, not only to
manage all the public affairs of the
state but also to direct, in large meas
ure, the private businesses of the peO-
pie.
Many of the administration measures
seem to be slated for defeat, not be-
cause they are lacking in merit, not
because they are not in harmony with
the program mapped out by the people,
but solely for the purpose of making
political capital and discrediting the
state executive and his supporters.
There is tomorrow in politics and if
the present legislature does not re-
spond to the wishes of the people, we
predict that in the near future new
set of men will fill our legislative halls,
and new public policies will prevail in
Wisconsin. Great credit is due to the
large number of the members of our
present Legislature who have been loyal
to their pledges and who have in every
way tried to enact such laws as the
people demand. In regard to the 9TH
ers-the obstructionists- can only
say that the time for arguing or at
tempting to reason with them is past;
Their political account must be settled
with the people, and the Home Rule
and Taxpayers League will see to it
that the record they have made during
the present session of the Legislature
is published so that the people may
know who is responsible for an unus-
ually long and expensive session of the
legislature, resulting in so little benefit
to the state.

joke.

WHY are so many country towns go
ing backward? During the past ten
years $50 towns in a middle western
state have decreased in population. The
rural districts of another have lost
40, 900 people. Practically every other
middle western state has suffered In
the same way, and it is believed that
shortly every state east of the Rocky
mountains will face this condition. At
the same time every large city in these
states has shown a remarkable growth
in population. This indicates that the
young people of the rural districts and
small towns are dissatisfied with cOndi-
tons, and gravitate to the larger towns
because of the pleasures and better
living conditions they hope to find there.
Until we make our small towns attrac-
tive we cannot hope to hold the young
people. There must be amusementS
for them. We must stop the continual
nagging, the passage of narrow laws,
the constant fretting of older people
who see in the pleasures of youth eter-
nal damnation and the end of morality.
Times change, and with them goes the
narrowness of puritanism. In years
gone by, dancing was condemned. Now
dancing is recognized as a healthful
pastime. If the young people desire to
dance the new dances, why not let
them? The old people of today, if they
dance at all, waltzed and two-stepped,
where their grandfathers and grand
mothers danced square dances and the
minuet. Simply because fad is new,
it is not necessarily immoral. Encour-
age the young people in all the harm
less amusements of the day, regardless
of what you did when young or what
your parents taught you to do. This is
new generation we are trying to keep
in the small towns, and youth demands
its play. Be broad and liberal. Mar
rowness in teaching or by law can only
result in disrespect for authority anc
law, in making harder the lives OF
those who don't think as we do or in
driving them entirely out of the com
munity and to those places where they
can have some freedom of thought anC
action.

De Quincey's Monotonous Diet.

De Quincey's style was variegated
enough, but his diet was monotonous
to a degree, his dinner for the last
thirty years of his life invariably COM
prising some loin Of mutton, boiled rice
and coffee. Every day he interviewed
the cook and told her to prepare these
dishes, adding: eff you do not remem-
Der to cut the mutton in diagonal
rather than longitudinal form. conse-
quences intellectually distressing to my
system will arise and will prevent me
from attending in matters of over
whelming Importance" No wonder the
bewildered Scotswoman when thus
drenched with polysyllables for the
first time was heard to remark, THE

If WE want the right kind of lasting

1--WE want the right kind of lasting
prosperity in this country we must get
a lot of people away from the centers
of population and onto the farms,
where opportunity awaits them. This
business of rushing off to the great
cities and depopulating the farms is
doing more to retard prosperity than
all other causes combined. Any man
of common sense and a reasonable de-
gree of energy can make mighty fine
living on the farm and be reasonably
Independent while so doing, while fully
one-half of the population today is
underfed because they are stagnating
in cities where there are ten applicants
for every job. Strikes, lockouts and
other labor wars do not greatly affect
the man on the farm, for crops grow
on just the same and appetites do not
decrease. The real greatness of this
country will come when the land IS
more fully under cultivation and worked
to better advantage on scientific lines.
