K|SSE[ KAR LIKES
EXTREME GOODNESS

1t was twenty below zero several
mornings during the week that George
H. Reubens of the Kissel Auto Com
pany of this city, recently spent in
Hartford, Wisconsin. Hartford is the
home of the big factory where the
Kissel Kar is made, and Reubens had
gone there to familiarize himself with
Kissel factory conditions and methods
and to acquaint himself with the
sales organization of that big concern.
The twenty below zero feature is in
teresting in that it gave him an eX
ceptional opportunity to test out the
starting and ignition equipment of the
Kissel and he states that the tests
were consistently satisfactory in ev
cry respect.
The Kissel Kar is strictly a manu-
featured product, not an assembled
one, and the Kissel company stands
squarely behind every part Of every
car About three thousand men are
employed in the Kissel factory which
is running two eight hour shifts at
present. The annual output is ap
proximately $500 cars.

LOCATING P|NCHED
INNER TUBES HARD

Mr.. C. d Messner of the South
western CarburetOr Co., local selling
agent for the Michelin Tire Company
says that a few words about avoiding
delays and expense resulting from
carelessly fitting inner tubes may be
of interest. When fitting a tire, if
the tube is pinched between the bead
of the casing and the rim, the invar
liable result is the explosion of the
tube. Such explosion usually forces
the bead out of the clinch of the
rim at the point where the rupture
occurs. The inference is then drawn,
that the envelope did not fit properly,
but this is probably not true. 1t is
more than likely that in fitting two
thicknesses of inner tube have be-
come pinched under the toe or edge of
the bead resulting in a rupture of
the tube at this point, permitting the
air to escape, with explosive force,
between the outside of the bead and
| the inner surface of the clinch, this
| explosion driving the bead entirely
| out of the rim at that point. The
| trouble was not that the envelope was
| off size which is seldom the case,
| but with the careless way in which
the tube was fitted. Explosions as de-
scribed will sometimes occur even
when car is standing in a garage.

THEIR LITTLE FORD

There is concern in Astoria, Ore,
The Foard & Stokes Hardware Com
pany which tried one experiment
with a motor car-and then bought
a Ford. This is what happened;
The purchase of our Ford car is
one of the best investments we have
made for a long time. We tried a
truck a few years ago and had to
return to horses, but were prevailed
upon by your agent to buy a Ford.
We find that this machine, aside
from a little heavy hauling which
we have to pay for having done. does
all our delivery in about half the
time, thus giving us the use of the
driver for assisting the warehouseman,
and at a saving of about $50 a month
as compared with what it cost us to
operate the team.
I'VE are quite satisfied that a Ford,
in our line of business, is able to do
the work of two teams"

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME,
Buster Bear Has No Luck
tcopyrxht 1915. T. w. Burssrs)
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Three times I've turned upon my tail,
And crossed my toes. but still / fall
To win from Luck my simple wish
For Just one single little Ash.
AS he said this Buster Bear sat
and stared into the Laughing
Brook with wrinkled brows He
had set out that morning to get
fish for breakfast, and because he
had set his heart on fish nothing
else would do. You know. Buster
Bear Is sometimes what is called
pig headed-thst Is. he starts TO do
a thing. and no matter what hap
pens he persists In trying TO do It.
He had started out for fish that
morning, and fish he would have or
else go hungry Now. everybody
knows that 1t is OF no use TO try TO
drink from an empty pail. and every
fisherman knows that IL Is OF no
use TO fish when the fish have gone
away from their favorite places.
Buster Bear knew that for some un-
known reason there were no trout
In the little shallow pools where he
does his fishing or course, he
didn't know this when he started
out that morning. but II didn't take
him a great while to find IT out. Not
so much as a glimpse OF a fin or tail
had Buster had. and he had fol-
lowed the Laughing Brook almost
TO the place where It leaves the
Green Forest on It's way to the Smil.
ing Pool In the Green Meadows.
And Just because he couldn't have
fish Buster wanted Ash more than
anything else In the world. People
are that way sometimes. So Buster
persisted in wandering along the
Laughing Brook, hoping that luck
would turn. Fishermen, you know.
are great believers In luck, and
Buster Is like the rest. That is why
he said that foolish little verse at
the beginning OF this story. OF
course, he knew II was all foolish
ness to turn around three times and
to cross his toes, and when he did
these things he looked around nrst
to make sure that no one would see
him. And. of course, his luck didn't
change. You see. there isn't any
such thing as that kind Of luck. No
matter what happens. there Is a
cause, a reason for II. The reason
Buster Bear saw no fish that fine
morning was that there were no fish
