CLEAN UP YOUR AUTO;
DIRT is GREAT ENEMY
Get a Scrub Brush and Go Over Va
rious Parts, Removing
Grit and Grease.

House cleaning time is here. and the
automobile owner who wishes to get
maximum efficiency from his motor car
should not let his wife or mother be
the only member of his family to go
through this cleanup ordeal" says a
local automobile distributor.
Dirt is one of the most active enc
mics of the moving parts of an auto
mobile. Grit mixed in with the lubri-
cant forms an abrasive substance that
has a very detrimental effect upon bear
ings, causing excessive friction and
eating into the smooth surfaces.
Before you start out on that first
tour Of the spring into the country. sub
ject your car to the scrub brush. soap
Take up the floor boards and remove
the hood. Take out the seat cushions
and put up the top. Expose every NOV
ing part that is at all accessible to view.
the frame. mud pan and under side of
the tenders. Wash the motor off with
gasoline or kerosene to cut the grease.
Take off all grease cups and clean
thoroughly with the same liquid.
Drain the water from the radiator.
and. If possible. flush by putting the
nozzle of your lawn hose into the filler
opening on top of the radiator, and let
ting the water run through II 1or ten
or fifteen minutes. This will wash out
all sediment that has collected from the
water evaporating during the previous
season.
Fill up all grease cups with fresh
grease. and oil all working parts of the
car thoroughly. Tighten up all nuts
and bolts that hold the body and fend-
ers to the frame.
Dress the top and seat cushions with
good top and leather dressings, and
wash and polish the body, and you can
then take you first long ride with as
surance that your car will not be in
jured by grit"

The annual meeting Of the board of

Never before In the history Of the
country" he says, has there been a

We must prepare the most used roads
for the hardest possible kind of usage
This is the moment to weld ourselves
into a real nation and to recognize the
evident fact that the good Of any one
section is of concern to all other parts
Of the country. One cannot measure

MOTOR CYCLE RENDERING
IMPORTANT WAR SERVICE
European Governments Not Able to
Meet Demands Of Their
Armies.

What Is said to be one of the most
important and efficient units of the
army equipment IS the motor cycle.
While 1t is not generally known to
what great extent these machines fig
ure in dispatch and scouting service
in the European armies, an idea may
be gathered of their Importance when
it is stated that there are in use at
the various fronts a good many thou
sand motor cycles-an the machines
available in Europe, In fact.
Despite thi-, every country at war is
clamoring for as many additional thou
sands as they can get acquisitions
for $4,000 have been made by the war
ring nations. while the combined out
put of the European manufacturers
will amount to only 1000 machines.
Thousands also have been exported
from the United States, one manufac-
turer alone having shipped this year
in the neighborhood of 5000 machines
and hundreds of side cars.
Adaptability Big Factor.
The widespread use OF the motor
cycle as a means of quick locomotion
to and from any point is due to the
power. swift getaway, dependability
and fieHibility of the present-day ma
chimes. They have an instantaneous
pickup from standstill to terrific speed
They need no beaten path of road, but
will go up steep hill or over rough
fields and through narrow openings not
accessible to the automobile.
Many Of them are in daily service in
the United States Army. More than
300 are in use on the Mexican border
where in performing their duties they
have proved indispensable. carrying
dispatches and doing relief and speed
work to remote places over roads be-
yond the ability of any auto to nego-
tiate.
They also are an invaluable adjunct
to the aero squadrons of the armies,
being utilized for following up aero
planes in action. carrying supplies and
in many other ways rendering swift
reliable cooperation.

ARMY MAKING BIG DRIVE
TO GET WAR STRENGTH

Announcement was made June 10
that there has been inaugurated an
intensified recruiting campaign with
view to obtaining by June 80 the full
war quota for the regular army. It is
pointed out that it is highly important
that the quota be filled by the end of
the month in order that every man in
the fifty-one new regiments of the reg
ular army be fully trained against the
time when he will go to defend the
honor Of his country and bring fresh
glory to the arms of the republic.
The movement. has been launched
in the Memphis district, which is COM
posed of twenty counties and of which
Upton county is one, with great vigor
and already there is considerable COM
petition between the several counties
and localities to be first in putting
forward the required number of men.
1t is believed that with the co-opera-
ton of every citizen and the spirit of
loyalty that is being manifested by
those of military age that each county
in the Memphis district will, on June
30, be found to have furnished every
man that it was called upon to contrib
ute to the great cause. In the district
there are thousands of men between
the ages of Fl and 81 years who, on
June 5, registered for military service.
The fact that they have registered, it
is pointed out, is no bar to their volun-
tary enlistment in the regular army
and due credit will be given each coun-
ty for every man who voluntarily en-
lists therefrom.
Upton county is expected to furnish
SO recruits by June 3d. Quite mum.
Der of our boys have already respond
ed and it is desirable that we will fur
nish our full quota to the volunteer
army.
