Perhaps it is the wheel bearing or a
bent axle shaft, but whatever it is,
have it attended to for safety and for
economy.
Look After Tires.
When the tires are permitted to run
half inflated i requires more power to
move the car. Prevent this waste by
keeping your tires inflated to the right
pressure. A brake drag, as you know,
holds the ear back. The brakes should
be free; there should be not the least
rubbing of the lining against the drums,
except when the brakes are in use.
There also can be appreciable saw
ing made by proper handling of the car.
You have heard of the car which was
driven over so miles on one gallon Of
gasoline. There were two factors which
contributed to this-the light weight Of
the car and the handling of it. Whenev-
er possible down grades were taken with
the throttle closed. This coasting saves
fuel and you willzbe surprised how much
you can save by doing this every time
g long grade is descended. Stop useless

the demand far outreached the sup
ply in the United States during the
past ten years, but this is true also
in all of the great food producing
countries of the world. All humanity
has been going through shortage of
corn, wheat and meats of all kinds,
which is becoming daily more acute.
The Argentine Republic has been
the victim of a series of droughts.
In 1909 there was an appalling
drought in Argentina, since which
time the rate of slaughter has been
far greater than its productivity and
the government is considering bar
ring the export of sheep and cattle.
Australia and New Zealand have
also suffered excessive droughts. In
the United States live stock of all
kinds is deficient, and the worst fea-
ture is that the whole country is
short of breeding stock. In the last
ten years the decline in raising stock
in Illinois has been 40 per cent, and
in Iowa 80 per cent, and these are
the chief cattle states Of the great
American corn belt. Texas has had
succession of droughts, and there
has been shortage of grass in the

and power drop to one-half just as much
power is required to run the engine, so
that the available power drops in much
greater degree.
The most satisfactory way to test
compression is by hand. Install the
starting handle and crank the motor
over compression on each cylinder. If
one Of them is weak there will be but
little resistance compared to that of
the others. This cylinder must be To-
Gated so that the loss may be rene

How to Proceed.
Leave the compression cock closed
on No. ] cylinder and open on the
others. Crank engine and note resist
anee Open that compression cock
and close the next one. Crank and
compare resistance with the first.
Continue with remaining cylinders. If
one or more are found to be weak
then locate the cause. Run engine
and inject oil around valve caps,
spark plugs and compression cocks.
Bubbles show leakage and these parts
must be frightened until leakage stops.
Then test these cylinders agRin and
see if compression is restored If
not. inspect exhaust valve TO see if it
needs grinding. Having ground that,
pour kerosene into defective cylinder
to soak into carbon around piston rings
These rings may be gummed with SCOT
and so unable TO function properly Then
spin motor by means Of the starter in

A statistician connected with the

"If the war slould cease today and

These are cold, plain statements of
fact. They mean that if we are to
avoid famine and do our duty toward
out nation and those allied with US
in this great war, we must learn per-
sonal economy. We must learn to
eat less meat and less food of all
kinds and to deny ourselves not only
the luxuries of life that have been
ours during our years of smug pros
perity, but we must eliminate many
of the actual comforts of daily life.
We must learn to adjust ourselves to
new conditions.
Mrs. Thos. R. Marshall, wife of
the Vice President of the United
States, discussing the duties of tho
women of America along this line,
says: 4
"lf the average woman will giyo
personal attention to her household,
she could save a lot of money. I
don't necessarily mean scrab her own

keep her eye on thing out there" 4
Every man, woman and child can
help a little in eliminating waste

Of this season s motor creations. The
Paige car has many advantages over
other cars of similar size and construc-

grades are minor consideration with
the Paige while on the level roads no
ear is able to pass Paige if the driver

now seen on the streets of the city and

HOW LEAKS ARE CLOSED.

II sometimes happens that the
pluneer spindle Of the earburetOr in
lis operation forms a vacuum in the
plunper guide as the valve is closing.
This condition causes leaks, which are
hard TO locate, but which may easily
be cured by drilling a tiny hole in the
cap over the check valve.

CarburetOr Fire Is
No Cause for Panic

If the earburetor catches fire, do not
give way TO panic. Shut off the gaso-
line at the tank and start the motor,
if possible. A self starter is useful
here. but one should spin it by hand
if necessary. This draws the flame
into the earburetor where il will do no
harm. Water from the radiator may
be thrown on burning woodwork, but
never throw water on a pool of burn
ing gasoline on the floor, as it only
snreads the fire.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 6.-The war has

many trained employees and 50 much Of

Story Of Finding Bloody Garments on
Weston Farm Untrue.
Special to Times-Republican.
Corning, Aug. 6.-Recently story
was given the daily and weekly news
papers to the effect that sack full Of
clothing had been found on the farm
Of c. H. Weston, in this county; that
the clothing and sack had direct
bearing upon and would go far towards
solving the Villisca ax-murders and
that the sack and clothing had been
turned over to some person not an Off
Ger, who was delighted with the find
The story was given with great detail;
that the sack was from the store Of
F. F. Jones. Of Villisca, and bore a tag
with his name upon 1t and that the
clothing was red with blood, ETC., etc.
Mr.. Weston, upon whose farm the
sack and clothing was said to have
been found while in Corning, Satur-
day took occasion to explode the SEN
sational story. He declares that no
sack of clothing had been found on his
farm and that If one had been found
there he would have turned it over to
the proper authorities and not to some
irresponsible person.
The story appears to have been
manufactured entirely.

Growth Of Coffee Trade.

The first coffee shipment from Bra

sisted of consignment Of ten bags sent
to Europe. Brazil now produces more
than So per cent Of the worlds coffee
supply and large part Of this is grown
in the one state Of Sac Paulo.
Coffee was introduced into Brazil in
1854 by Father Velaso, a franciscan
monk, and nine years later the country
began the export Of the beans that are
now Brazirs principal source Of wealth.
More than half OF all the coffee grown
Is consumed in the United States, and
Uncle Sans annual coffee bill, at the
wholesale price, Is about SS0,000,000.
The Danes, next to Americans are the
greatest coffee drinkers, while the Ger
mans came third before the war. The
