The W. w. Henry Garage on
North Main street have recently
added to their already complete
equipment, new machinery for re-
grinding Ford cylinders, and re.
fitting pistons.
By use Of this equipment in the
hands of the, expert Henry me-
ichanics an old worn out Ford or
other cars of comparatively SINH
lar horsepower, worn or defective
cylinders may be reground and
repolished and new pistons and
rings fitted, thus restoring or
even slightly increasing the orig
inal horsepower Of the engine.
Few garages and machine shops
outside the larger cities are equip
ped to handle this class of work
and local motorists whose cars
have become noisy or are losing
power will welcome this oppor-
tunity to secure high grade re-
grinding without the necessity of
taking their cars to the city.

G. P. Taft Upholds Wilson:

Cincinnati, O., March s.
Charles p. Taft, in his Republican
organ, The Times-Star, says, un-
der the caption Congressional
Blunderers and the Danger of
War;:
1.-The members of the House
who have advertised so widely
theiropposition to the President s
diplomatic policies have argued
their efforts were in the direction
of preventing war. As a matter
OF fact, by weakening the respect
of foreign Governments for the
authority of the Government at
Washington, the influence of
their action could only be in the
direction of war.
1.-The American people do not
want war. But we are a patriot
ic people, with fair share of 10y
atty to the old flag, and if it
comes to a showdown most of us
can be relied upon to back up the
President in whatever -stand he
may take

at a neighbours playing the boys
conceived the idea of melting up
some lead they had gotten hold of.
They melted the lead and placed
the vessel containing it on a chair.
In some manner it was upset and
fell on the floor and a drop Of the
molten metal splashed in young
Seelinger's right eye. He ran
screaming to his home across the

which had hardened by this time,
was removed from the eye by his
mother. It is hoped that the
sight of the eye may be saved.

 PARIS, Sept. 20.-Max Hoschiller, in an article in the Temps today, con- trasts Americas financial position now in respect to foreign countries with what it was before the war The ar ticle says:
 Then the United States was sending to Europe from $20O, 900, 900 to $300,- 000,00 in interest on it's borrowings; $150,0000O0 to $200, ,000,O0O spent by tourists; s100, 900 to $50 O0O, 900 to expatriates and $20,O00, 900 to $40, O0O,- GOO in ocean freights.
 Since the war the United States has imported s730,000,000 in gold and has paid back considerable amount of it's previous borrowings, increased it's for eign trades by $2,250,000,00O yearly and lent to foreign countries $1, ,450, 900, 900 so that the dollar now has replaced to a considerable extent the old Sover- eighty of the English pound abroad
 Whether the United States will re- tain, with her deficient financial or | ganiZation. the position recently won, will depend upon American financial and commercial policies.
