!Burd Piston rings as regular factory
equipment and for service station re-
neWals, is certainly remarkable tM-
! butte to the superiority Of Burd Rings
| over all other types of piston rings.
BURD PISTON RINGS save gas ny
, utilizing the entire fuel charge in the
production Of power. There is no
Waste-no loss-no escape Of eXplOd-
ed gases past piston ring openings
Complete combustion takes place.
Evey ounce Of energy generated by
the explosion is focused upon the pls-
ton head and in turn transmitted to
the crank shaft. None Of it gets by.
Over-rich mixtures are, as a conse-
quence, unnecessary. The carburetor
may be adjusted to point where a
decided increase in miles per gallon
will be clearly apparent without loss
of power BURD RINGS insure the
lowest possible gas consumption.
When carbon deposits inside the
combustion chamber become heated
to the glowing" point, they ignite the
compressed gases before combustion
is timed to take place. The irregular
explosions that follow subject the
bearing to great strain and will in
the end wreck the engine. BURD
PISTON RINGS, by preventing the
formation of carbon, overcome the
possibility of pre-ignition.
Another disturbing factor, due to
leakage in piston rings, is that which
arises when the hot gases escape
through the ring openings and, COM
ing in contact with the cooling sys-
TEN, condense and precipitate water
upon the cylinder walls. This water,
with the residue OF lubricating oil,
drains into the crank case and in time
pollutes the oil to degree where it
has but little lubricating value The
dangers incident to such a condition
are entirely overcome by the use OF
BURD PISTON RINGS.

RACINE TIRES

The Corwin Motor Company has a
slogan. when You Want Tires Say
RACINE" and from the looks of the
cars on the Bismarck streets, there
must be quite a few saying it. The
Racine Country Tread casing has the
unique distinction of being practical
ly the only really high grade tire III
the 5,000-mile guarantee class, to sell
at nominal price. The local firm
took on the distributing contract for
the Racine last summer. and Mr.. Cor
win says that in the experience or
the business, he never saw d line
stand up under severe service to
match the Country Tread.

That's the idea behind the nation

MONEY LENDER PlTIED POOR
Chinese ShyIock in Manchuria Gave
Annual Sum for Relief Work to
Relieve His Conscience.

A wealthy Chinese money lender in
Manchuria was recently convicted of
making false declaration regarding
rObberies of his caravans by Monaghan
bandits. His conscience troubled him
to such an extent that he offered to
contribute an annual sum of $3.50 for
the relief of the poor, East and West
says. This money was made the basis
Of fund for feeding the helpless at
Kungchuling.
Manchuria is terribly poor. despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex-
tracted from It's soil and rocks. all of
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands of indus
triOus natives unable, by unremitting
toll, to earn more than a meager Iiv-
ing. When 20 their natural difficulties
are added the ravages Of bandits and
the evils Of misgOvernment. such as
now prevails In many parts Of China,
abject proverty and starvation must be
the lot Of the people who. i'm the best
Of times, are only half fed
