BATTERIES AND BATTERIES

A few years ago the car owner
cranked his motor by hand Some
times it started. Sometimes it start
ed backwards, and made business for
the bonesetters. When night came,
there was a tank containing gas, (lln.
til it ran out ten miles from town..
and the headlights were fed from this
source. Today the fortunate driver
sits comfortably in the seat to start
the car with push of the button.
Another button, and the road is food
ed with light. His possibilities are
unlimited. Hand warmers, foot
warmers, carburetor heaters, any
thing electrical may be attached to
the insignificant little battery hidden
away in the car. Good things deserve
care, and the battery must have it or
perish. Distilled water every week
or two is important. The charge
must be kept up above the 1900 mark
or deterioration sets in. If the car
| is to be left for long time in the
winter, the battery will run down,
| freeze, and much damage ensue. I'm
fortunately the average man will take
chance. TO the rescue Of these hu.
mans comes the Battery Service Sta

there is man drawing top wages be-

forge. On this floor and on the east
side is room about 2Ox25 feet with a
bunch Of jars standing around. It's
not the pantry; nor are the jars filled
with jam. It's the battery room, a

Battalion Of Automobiles.
One hears little noise and then
he finds himself hOisted to the top
floor-thc fifth, and bcholds an array
of boats--a real battalion of automo
biles. These are the cars which are
the "regnlars,' figuratively speaking
in military vernacular. When the call
comes from the West, it will be an
swered. In fact, Manager Peterson
and the members of the Missouri Val
leg Motor company have proved them
selves to be believers Of preparedness.
Dodge cars, Chalmers and the great
Smith Form-a-Truks are to be seen.
Two carloads. each car consisting Of
20 trucks, have been received by the

From the business Office the 'joy'

A FARMERS TRUCK

The past season witnessed the ar
rival of another member Of the grow
ing automobile clan, the Dearborn
Truck Unit. This consists of a heavy
frame with truck wheels equipped
with hard rubber tires and driven by
chains. A pleasure car is stripped
of body, rear tenders. rear wheels,
and aXles. The new Dearborn frame
is bolted securely over the old car
frame, and special aXles with sprock-
cts attached inserted in the differen-
tial housing. Chains attach these
sprockets to the sprockets on the new
truck wheels, and presto, you have
truck capable Of carrying a load up
to 5000 pounds, with a nine-foot load
ing space. Practically all OF the
weight is carried on the rear wheels,
and the gear ratio is SO low that the
motor is given enormous power at a
minimum Of strain. Farmers and
merchants will he able to use any Old

SEES AUTOS HELP Il.

Every Horse Displaced by Car
Frees Five Acres for Grow

Every time an automobile displaces
horse, five acres are added to the
agricultural area of the country.
Among the economic influences OF the
motor car, this is one phase that IS
commonly overlooked.
There are about 2G,OO0,O0O horses
in the United States and each morse
consumes six or seven tons or tood
a year. 1t is easily figured that an
average of five acres is required TO
furnish food for each horse TINS
means a total of 1870, 100000 acres OF
land devoted to pastures and raising
hay-over 100000 square miles. rms
