THE SPRING CLEANUP

Dr. F. B. Hadey, Veterinarian, University
appearance of the front yard of the farm home!
Now nearly all county residence have a we'll
grassed lawn that is kept looking we'll by regular
use of the lawn mower. This shows a commend
able pride on the part of the farm owner who with
the advent of spring weather will rake the lawn,
trim it's edges and spade up the flower bed.
The spring ''clean-up' should be extended to
the back of the house and farm YARDS where
rubbish has accumulated during the winter in
considerable quantities. Piles of rubbish are
favorable breeding places for germs which cause
diseases of animals. By removing them early
there is less danger Of disease occurring III your
own animals as we'll as those belonging to others.
Our country needs every pound of meat, milk,
and wool that can be produced. On account Of the
worlds shortage the prices for these animal pro-
ducts are higher than they have ever been.
These are two good reasons why should
every effort to prevent the spread of animal
diseases. One is duty our country, the
other a duty we owe our family
An effective aid in accomplishing these ends is
to see that the stables and their surroundings are
kept clean. Filth is the meat upon which disease
thrives Therefore, do not not delay longer, but
clean up the place

Baby Welfare Week.
According to a recent report Of the
State Board Of Health 1864 Wisconsin
babies under year old died in the
months of April, May and June of last
year. And that was 241 more than in
the same months the year before. Ii
there is a like increase this year, whose
fault will it be?
Is it because parents do not know
how to protect the little folks from the
many dangers that lie in wait for them?
Is it, for instance, because they did not
think measles were serious enough to
make it necessary to placard the house,
and somebody's little boy or girl got
the disease too, and caught cold, and
died? There were 80 deaths from mea
sles in those three spring months,
WHICH effectively combats the old idea
that it is "a harmless disease of child
hood" against which many mothers do
not pretend to protect their children.
There are some VINO actually seem to
see something funny in the fact that a
little child has the whooping cough; J;
they are so used to the childish disease
that they can not look on it seriously.
Yet 80 babies IN the state died of
whooping cough last spring.
And then there were those 11S bab
les, all under two years Of age, and 48
Of diphtheria.
Besides, there were 446 poor mothers
who never had the comfort Of cuddling
their babies in their arms, because the
wee things were born dead. Why?
something wrong at home-the mother
was not properly nourished, or did not
have the proper care, or had to work
too hard before the baby came.
DI. VIdC6 Il. M6lSS HAS JuSG ludu6 d
special study of these things for the
Children Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor. She says that
the 5000 maternal deaths in this cOun
try every year are largely preventable.
They are, she says, merely a rough in
dex of preventable illness among the
mothers. The protection of the mothers
is essential to the saving of the babies
lives.
What can we do to save these moth
,ers and babies = the most precious
things in the nations wealth?
First, point out just where the dan
gers lie; and then educate the mothers
and fathers, the physicians and citizens
generally, as to how to meet the diff
culties.
That is exactly what Baby Week
Campaigns are for. And we are to
have one in Mineral Point, May to 6.
The program will include something of
interest to every person in town. 1t is
for you. Get out and help to make it d
big success-the biggest thing done in
Mineral Point yet.

Super-Sk Performance
StartIes the Seattle Folks

To carry seven passengers over
Queen Anne counterbalance, Seattle,
Washington's steepest hill. In high
gear, was considered an impossibility
until it was accomplished recently
BY 4 Hudson Super-Six. mo other
motor car has ever duplicated the
feat" asserts Guy L. Smith. A Seat
tie Super-Six owner used his car and
carried six passengers. At a given
signal the Hudson car shot over the
level to The foot Of the hill at forty
FIVE miles an hour. This speed was
maintained for quite a distance till
grade of 1875 per cent was en-
countered. The summit OF the hill
was reached with the car going at
twenty miles an hour. The top
reached, its driver turned the car
down the incline paralglling the coun-
terbalance. On arriving at the bot
tom he turned at an acute angle, and.
without any start to speak OF, shot
up the hill. He entered the slope at
about fifteen miles an hour, and went
all tie way up in high gear without
difficulty. Then, to convince be-
holders Of these feats that the Super
Six was not geared to make them,
he took three passengers out on
well-known Seattle road and drove
the car at speed Of sixty-fye miles
an hour.

Goodrich Scheme
Alleviates Some
Traffic Stress

The establishment of Highway
Traffic bureau to aid manufacturers
in routing and shipping merchandise
by motor truck is the newest inno-
walton of the b. +. Goodrich COM
pany. This new service will have at
its disposal the immense resources
Of the Goodrich National Touring
bureau.
Motor car manufacturers were the
first to feel the necessity for this new
bureau, for with their production go
ing on at high rate to keep up with
the dealers orders, the present freight
congestion and embargoes in many
centers have worked serious hard
ships. Practically all manufacturers
and many of their dealers are daily
appealing to this new traffic bureau
for maps and road information that
will facilitate the delivery OF their
cars overland.
While the present freight conges-
ton and strict embargoes have been
serious in their effects, they will, at
least more fully develop the posi-
bilities OF motor truck transporta-
ton. When the situation is relieved
no doubt many will continue to use
motor trucks for they will have seen
the many advantages intensified by
the complete road information which
Goodrich now furnishes.
For sometime the Goodrich COM
pany has maintained a feet OF fast,
heavy duty motor trucks to transport
motor car tires from its big Akron
factories to Cleveland, where they
are then shipped by rail- When the
lake season opens these shipments
will be diverted to the boats in every
possible e. instance and New York,
Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee
and other important points will be
reached more rapidly than ever be-
fore.

DRAIN OIL PANS
AND AVOID TROUBLE
Studebaker Service Manager
Warns Motorists About Ex-
cessive Use Of "Choker."
HOW TO DODGE DIFFICULTY

"The average owner off an automo-
bile doesn't like to take advice" says
Max Hagelstine, service manager OF
the Studcbaker corporation, but
warn the motorist of impending trou.
bic and he'll stretch point to heed
it. So hope this advice will be taken
as warning that spells trouble If 1t
Is not given the attention it deserves.
1T is obvious that the idea OF food
ing the carburetoris TO obtain tenn
porarily enriched mixture, but the
value OF the flooding is lost if it be
done when the cylinders and induce
ton pipe are full of mixture. When
using the 'chokef' the carburetor nee
die IS lifted free of the seat, all air
passages are closed and raw gasoline
is supposed to be thrown into the cyl
inders in order that your starting con-
dition will be similar to that when
motor is primed. But ignition does
not occur Immediately when there is
kerosene in solution with the gasoline
and il the 'choker' is used excessively
II accumulation OF this solution will
surely find its way into the oil pan.
Trims Gasoline.
~ have seen the owner OF an. auto
mobile pull the choke switch way on
and then press the starter button in
etfectually FIVE or six times in cold
weather. He finally gets an explo-
sion, but the constant flooding OF the
carburetor causes this solution OF ker-
osene and gasoline to mix with the
oil, timing it and causing It to lose
its lubricating values.
"When starting your motor in cold
weather try turning the engine over
a few times with the switch off before
using the 'choker' In this way the
air Is expelled and thin mixture OF
air and gasoline is inhaled in its place.
Flooding then gives temporarily
rich mixture in the cylinders and the
engine should start at the first trial.
This is the procedure the professional
driver very often adopts when his
motor is cold.
During a continued cold spell II
would be decidedly advantageous for
the motor car owner to use fresh oil
frequently, draining the oil pan and
washing it thoroughly before reflling.
OF course, it would hardly be possible
for an owner to make a chemical an
alysis OF the old oil to determine
whether or not its 1ubricating quail
ties had been exhausted. but from its
consistency it should be easy to de-
eide II fresh oil is needed. However,
with the coming Of the warmer
months. it will not be necessary to do
this quite so often. This may add
slightly to the operating expense, but
II certainly cannot be nearly so ex-
pensive as the installation Of new
bearings, pistons and possibly set
Of cylinders"

Ford Daily Uses Forty
Thousand Gallons Of oil

Every time the master-ciock at the
Ford factory ticks off twenty-four
hours $4,000 gallons Of fuel oil have
been burned.
In the same time 1900 gallons Of
ordinary lubricatinu oil have been
used. Likewise 800 gallons Of motor
oil, 900 gallons Of gasoline and 400
gallons of kerosene are consumed in
the process of producing 5000 Ford
cars during the Neutrality-suspicious. pc
Rod.
Ford factory machinery, much OF
which runs continuously from mid
night Sunday to midnight the fol-
lowing Saturday, is very carefully
treated. One of the most important
things is to see that the machines
are well oiled. To handle the lubri.
cation Of the thousands OF machines
IN the Ford plant $50 men are en-
ployed as oilers.
In addition TO the oilers, there are
hive oil inspectors, whose duty is to
see that the oilers keep the bearings
in proper condition and that the i'm
mensc number of oil cups are kept
filled.
To efficiently distribute the oil
around the plant pipe lines are main
tanned for the different kinds OF oil
with faucets placed at convenient
points where the oilers may come
TO refill their cans. The milk-like
cutting fluid used to cool the mate.
rial In the machines and the cut
ting tools is made up of mixture OF
Kerosene oil, denatured alcohol, caus-
tic soda, machine oil. olaic acid and
water. By using this fluid machines
can be operated at high speed with
out overheating them, when It would
otherwise be necessary TO use great
care.
Centrifugal extractors are employed
to remove machine oil from chips and
shavings on machines where oil in
stead Of cutting fluid is used to keep
the work cool. About 500 gallons OF
valuable oil are thus saved and used
,yer again each day
Considering every kind of oil used
N the plant, about 10000 gallons are
consumed daily, which Is equivalent
TO FIVE carloads, a tidy amount even

HAIL TO THE BEAM

The bean crop hercaboutS serves
to remind us that some day the
Weston country will b. raising
three or four times rs much in food
value As it does at present, We
venture to say that in - years or
less it will bc raising twice aS
much. Therefore il is well TO have
beginning. and as such we will
call the bean crop. Next year
twice as much land should be plant
ed to this justly celebrated legumc.
The farmer may rs well utilize the
land ms to let it lie fallow. and if
he cannot handle il himself he can
lease il to others. aS has hccn gen
orally the case this season. lie
will thus BE- doing his fellow man,
the country and himself good
turn, Wheat farming inevitably
makes FOR large ranches, as the
larger the acreage held by tn"
wheat farmer the more protltably
he can produce his crop. Wheat
farming is responsible for the fact
that Umatilla county hasn't grown
apprcciably in population for tho
past thirty years. The sooner the
Weston district can get into diver
sificd production, the better it will
be for its land owners and its gen
eral population. Weston will hc "A
better and thrifticr town, and the
ncighboring farmers will find that
land prices have increased above
even the present high levels, as
their lands productive value will
have practically doubled. As We
have said, diversified farming is "A
certain development of the future
in this immediate section, in accord
ance with the law of human prog
rcss. The land owners have it in
their power to stimulate and hasten
this development and thus contrib
