er seen.
And the tractor, too, is playing a
big part in the development of the
southwest. In this country it is nee
essary to farm large tracts and the
tractor is the ideal method for this
purpose. 1t is the cause of thous-
ands of acres being titled that other
wise would be left in sod, and is the
means of adding untold wealth to the
country.
When the silo becomes as common
as the auto and the tractor, South
west Kansas will be on the. high road
to success, and it is coming fast.
Southwestern Kansas farmers are
the right sort. They are looking for
the things that will make them money
and finding them.
Everybody should boost the auto,
tractor and silo propositions, and
further the interests that are making
the town.

THE ADVANTAGE OF
A BATTERY SERVICE

Service stations of all kinds are
springing up throughout the country
to help the motorist and the wise car
owner is the one who takes advant-
age of all the service that is offered.
This is particularly true of battery
service.
1t is most important in the care of
the battery that the car owner should
know exactly in what condition the
battery is, whether it is half charged,
fully charged, or over charged. Ere
quent and accurate hydrometer tests
are the only way in which this can be
ascertained. The more ordinary bat
terry troubles can be avoided and the
fife of the battery heightened by
keeping it fully charged.
For this reason then, if for no 9th
! err, the car over should frequently
visit the battery service station in or
der that the experts can test his bat
terry.
This, however, is but one of the adj
vantages that comes from keeping in
touch with the service station.
AS he comes to know them each
separate battery becomes an .indi-
vidual problem to the service man.
He comes to know under what condi-
lions they are being used and are go
ing to be used.
Having tested battery for a whole
season or for whole year he is in
a position at the end Of that time, to
state whether repairs or renewals are
necessary to prolong the life of the
battery.
If the car is to be stored in the
winter, he will store the battery. If
the machine is to be run through the
winter, then he can give the motor
list such advice as to keep it in the
best condition during this trying sea-
son. If the battery needs charging,
he is able to do this job all the better
because he knows exactly how the
battery has been used.
| Not the least important function
of the service station, and especially
the Willard service station, is to edu-
cate the car owner in the care of the
battery. The advantages of this are
obvious.
AS the local Willard service man
very aptly put it people don't wait
until they're dead before they go to
a doctor and there is no reason why
they should wait until their battery
is dead before they take it to a bat
terry doctor"

Last Friday morning our little dog,
Duke, died. Duke was nine years
old, and had spent good part of his
time around the News office. He was
good dog, in fact, more faithful
one never lived, SO it is needless to
say that we regret his death very
much. Dukes death was due to pois-
on, and words fail to express our
opinion of the individual who is gull
ty. To say the least, they possess far
less principle than the dog they pois-
oned. If the miserable coward, who
like the assassin, strikes under cover
of darkness, or in the back, had any
thing against the family or the firm,
it would have been but common de-
cency to have settled same as gen.
tleman, rather than to have stopped
to the level of cur, and taken out
revenge on the dog. Whoever you
are, count yourself a contemplate,
villianous, wretch.-Meade News.

THE AUTO AND TRACTOR
FACTORS IN GROWTH
Increasing Number Of Both Cars and
Tractors Are Benefitting
Liberal.

Many persons have doubtless given
but little consideration to the part
played by the auto and the tractor in
enhancing the progress of Liberal.
When one stops to consider the great
territory adjacent to the town and
the comparative ease with which the
people of this territory may reach it
by the use Of the automobile il is
easy to realize how the "gas buggy"
has helped to build up the business of
the town.
The smaller towns are also contrib
uting their share to the growth of
Liberal. In the olden days when one
wanted to buy something not sold
in the smaller towns they mustsget on
a train and spend day or two going
to the larger places or send their or
ders by mail. Now it is different.
When it becomes necessary to go to
the larger towns the automobile is
brought into use and few hours will
do the work of day or, two
Miles have been cut into mere steps
by the use of the auto. A days drive
with a team is but a matter of an
hour or so, and people may come
great distances to trade, when before
their trips to town were made only
when necessity compelled.
The auto has also benefited the
farmer a great deal in the matter of
good roads. Formerly about the only
persons who took any interest in good
roads was the road overseer, and as
there was little education along the
lines of road building his efforts were
many times wasted. Now everyone,
whether car owners or not, are good
roads boosters, and we are now en-
tering upon a era of road building,
the like of which the country has new

KEROSENE AS FUEL
NOT A NEW THING
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Low Cost of This Product is Entirely
Due to Its Limited Use at
Present Time.

Kerosene as fuel for automobiles
is not new proposition. Not long
ago an interesting serial story appear
ed in popular weekly, woven around
the invention of a kerosene carbu-
rotor. As a matter Of fact, there have
been a number of practical kerosene
carburetors produced, but they don't
seem to take hold nor appear to fill
a long-felt want.
When the demand for gasoline was
small the proportion taken from the
crude oil was also small. AS the de-
mand increased, new methods of pro-
duction have increased the proper
ton Of gasoline at the expense OF
kerosene, and doubtless still more eff
ficient methods will produce salts
factory fuel from still greater pro-
portion of the crude oil.
If the demand should shift to kerr
osene, the incentive for an improved
method of manufacture would be re-
moved, and the kerosene would have
to bear much greater proportion of
the income to be derived from the
crude oil. Hence the low cost of
kerosene is due solely to its limited
use.
Furthermore, the proper burning Of
kerosene is a function of the motor
rather than of the carburetor. To
atomize kerosene is no more difficult
than to atomize gasoline. The heat
required for vaporization would nee
essarily be greater, and the capacity
would therefore be much less. Larger
motors would have to be provided for
given power, because of the higher
temperature at which the mixture en-
tiers the cylinders. Unless water is
used with the kerosene, the liability

The Chetopa, Kansas, Advance tells
of a gardenwife who has suffered an
nually from neighbors who do not
keep their chickens at home, seems
to have found the solution. She told
her neighbors she had read that
strychnine mixed with corn meal and
scattered over the garden would elm
mate sparrows and other birds which
eat up small vegetable plants.

for the collection of carbon on the
piston is much greater.
Taken altogether, the uses Of kero-
sene on the automobile would not be
an unmixed blessing, but the develop
ment of motors is going on all the
time and it may be possible that some
time in the near future kerosene will
become logical fuel, but that does
not seem to be the case at present.

The shortage of cars has evidently
not been entirely relieved. The Ed
son Auto Company received ship
ment Of Bucks a short time ago and
they came on, a flat car covered with
tarpaulins. These cars we're Skies,
and most Beautifully colored.
