Not a grease cup on the car, is the

grease cups in the fabrication of the

what an advantage this really is.

decidedly the most efficient and sat

required to do the work, and the as
surance of proper fabrication, is GER
tainly of vital interest to the man
who owns the car.
AS further convenience, the West
colt company supplies a special pump
oiler as part of the tool equipment,
which greatly facilitates the work, and
it is said enables the operator to reach
and fill each and every cup with one

WANT RELIABLE DIRECTORS
Farm Loan Board Desire Substantial
Citizens on Directorate OF
Local Banks.

Misunderstanding that the sue
cess of any business depends, in great
measure, on the type of men who man
age it, the farm loan board has turned
from the perplexing problem Of locat-
ing the banks and selecting the dis
tricts to one scarcely less important
that of choosing the directors for each
of the banks.
Within few days the books will be
opened to the public and subscriptions
for the capital stock of the banks may
be entered. Since the secretary Of the
treasury is directed by the act to sub
scribe any portion of this stock that
may not have been sold at the end of
thirty days, this phase of the organiza.
cation of the banks is calling for little
attention. 1t is not expected that the
public will subscribe for any great
amount of stock. The problem on
which attention Is being concentrated
is the question of selecting the five
temporary directors for each bank.
Every effort is being made by the
board to secure the best available men
as directors. An attempt is being
made to have the directors represent
ative of the different sections OF the
district.

possible delay.
