TRUCKS CARRY WATER
TO SHEEP NEAR ROSWELL

In the great southwest, the sheep
producing center Of the country, one
Of the most stubborn obstacles the
sheepmen have TO contend with. is the
almost regular periods OF drouth. This
element Of nature has cost the sheen
men more money than anything else
that he has had TO contend with. II
is a question that has been troubling
them for a long time.
This year the drouth conditions
have been particularly bad. As a re-
suit sheepmen have been unable to
supply proper amount Of water for
their sheep during the Landing sea-
son. A solution OF this problem has
been troubling them for some time.
This year It has been met in a very
efficient manner, IN the following
way.
The Roswell Buick company. deal
ers for the Smith Form-a-Truck in
that part OF the country came forward
with proposition to the sheepmen to
use Smith Form-a-Truck as water
carriers for this purpose. The low
operation cost OF the Smith FOrm-a-
Truck made this plan very feasible
and IL was acted upon In the past
so days the Roswell Buick company
have supplied the sheepmen with 81
OF these efficient trucks. The per-
fCrmances OF these trucks were so
satisfactory in this work and the
operating cost was so low that the
sheepmen were highly pleased and
there is much promise OF this work
assuming very large proportions in
the near future.

The car owner should know just

Overlooking Tires.
There is another way Of producing
just the same effect as under in
flation, in spite Of the fact that the
tires had originally been inflated to
the proper mark and that Is by over
loading. Suppose. for instance, that a
tire has been pumped TO its proper
pressure, at which IL is designed to
carry 1000 pounds. Instead Of that
load however the owner proceeds to
put 400 pounds on the tire which
bends under the impOst just as II it
were carrying its normal load with
under initiation. This trouble is more
common than might be imagined, Cor
IL occurs whenever a car owner piles
more passengers on board than his
vehicle was intended TO carry. a
couple Of extra passengers means an
added weight OF 500 pounds or more
TO the distinct injury Of the tires. II
extra weight IS to be carried habit
ually, the owner should increase the
pressure in his castings TO care for
the added impost
It must be remembered, too, that all
tires OF a given size are not exactly
the same in strength. One manufac-
turer may give his product extra fab

In the first place, the greatest cause

SUDSKEEPT TOP
IN GOOD SHAPE
Care Should Be Taken by
Owner to Preserve Var
nish in Rainy Season.

Nowhere in the United States does
the motor car top have to withstand
as much as here. This Is due to the
combination Of climatic conditions and
the custom in the southwest Of driv-
ing the car with the top up the year
around
And the hardest season Of all is ap-
preaching says r. z. Lewis. tie Jor-
dan man, who gives motorists some
interesting advice regarding the care
OF the motor ar so as to preserve
its good appe. lnce.
"Of course. We have no more full
leather tops" said Lewis. a cover
ing OF this kind today could cost $3.50.
Full leather went out OF general use
six and seven years ago. Since then
the materials have ben imitation
feathers Of one composition and an
other And some serve remarkably
well
Owners Will find that they can
prevent the tops from becoming
streaked in the rainy season by some
simple precauion. II a top becomes
dirty and then the rain comes on.
streaks are inevitable Therefore keep
the top clean.
The best for top cleaning is Ivory
soap. Use the suds freely and allow
them 10 dry in This not only viii
cleanse the top. but viii keep IL sofc
and prevent it from cracking.
When rain soaks a top 20 right

that would result if the top " ere left

The same care given 20 the body
OF car will preserve the paint. A
car that becomes wet and then dries
N the hot sun will spot and check.
The proper thing TO do after a car has
been in the rain is to shower II with
a hose and then carefully rub II with
a chamois.
There's many a beautiful paint lob
on a car been ruined by carelessness
IN allowing rain TO dry on. Fine
coaches are always showered and
rubbed with channels after being i'm
