USEFUL TIRE HINTS.
Avoid Kerosene in Wash Water.


A noted tire expert says that wash
ing tires and washing car are two
different propositions. Water alone
should be used to wash tires and as
little of it as necessary. After every
run the tires should be wiped clean
with a damp sponge or well-wrung
cloth.
A common method when washing a
car is to mix kerosene with the water.
This may be advisable when washing
the wood work, to remove mud and
dust from the varnish, but no kerO-
sene should be permitted to reach the
tires, because kerosene eats the rub
Der. This fact can be proved readily
by immersing small piece of rubber
in kerosene and allowing it to soak.
The rubber will soon swell and lose
its elasticity. The reason for this is
apparent. Kerosene is rich in fatty
properties which remain after the
evaporation of the gases. Every time
a tire is washed with a Kerosene mix
ture the rubber is deprived of more Of
it's strength.
When washing tires it is best to use
a damp sponge and clean water, care
being taken that the sponge is not
soaked and dripping. After washing
the tires they should be wiped dry
with cloth or handful of waste.

Cooperation Illustrated.

Aesop, the famous writer of fables,
illustrates the value of cooperation
as follows: "a father had several
sons who did not get along we'll to-
gether. When the old man knew that
he would soon die he called his sons
to him. He had a bundle OF sticks
that he asked them to break Each in
turn tried with all his strength but
could not break the sticks. He then
united the bundle and gave his sons a
stick at time and asked them to
break the sticks, which they did very
easily. He then addressed them as
follows: My sons, if you are of one
mind and unit to assist each other,
you will be as the bundle of sticks,
uninjured by all the attempts of your
enemies, but if you are divided among
yourselves you will be broken as cas-
lily as these single sticks"

No killing Your Engine in the Com
ing Automobile.

Thousands of accidents and hun
dreds of deaths occur every year by
the stalling of gasoline driven auto
mobiles. Every automobile driver
finds himself or herself caught in a
tight place at times when driving a
car, where if all the power in the ma
chine could be utilized the instant
the throttle was opened, the accident
would be averted. We all know that
when the throttle on gasoline ma
chine is opened suddenly, the motor
has less power, if not killed. This is
how so many accidents occur on our
railroad crossings and other danger
Gus points. A condition of this kind
cannot happen with the Doble Detroit
steam car. The instant you open your
throttle on this car you have seventy
five horsepower, and you simply leap
out Of dangers way.
For further information write the
Ritter Automobile Company, Madison,
Wis, factory distributors. Local deal
er will be announced later.

A Soldiers Prayer.

Lord, give me this day my manhood
to stand straight. Lead me into battle

Help me to preserve the idea Of my

strengthen me in my determination tC

Two Wild Sows Attack Farmer.

Two W III OONS AItdCk dFHtEs
A writer in the August Farm and
Fireside says:
while trailing a band Of wild tur-
keys in southeast Missouri, | had a
narrow escape from death. I had
, crawled very carefully upon a large
fallen tree whose diameter was about
four feet. The ground on the OppO-
site side of the. log was covered to
depth OF about two feet with dead
| leaves. Having gained the top of the
log, I remained in a standing position
trying to locate the turkeys. After
listening a few minutes, | decided to
go ahead .I.s
81 dropped cautiously down in the
leaves, took one step, when shrill
squeal of pain sounded at my feet.
The whole earth seemed to crawl, and
before | saw the old mother hogs, /
knew lot of the young wild hogs had
been disturbed Two large raw-boned
sows with wide-open mouths, tusks
cleaning, came fO: NE with shrill
Ygrunts. Of lage l tried to crawl back
on the log, but they were too close.
III tried 10 ~un, but c,1ly step testified
! to more little ones, and added fuel to
/ the mothers rage.
u did rot want to kill them, but it
4 was my life or theirs. The first |
shot in her open mouth, and whirling
the gun quickly, | got the other in
the side. The wild SOW with her
young is as dangerous a creature as
one cares to meet, and | was thankful
my powder was dry"

OVERLAND ANNOUNCES
NEW TYPE SEDAN

The Willys-Overland company OF
Toledo, Ohio, is now building a stag
gered-door type of convertible sedan
body on it's Willys-Knight Four chas-
sis, according to an announcement
this week by the Bronson Motor Car
Co., local agents.
The doors in this type of body are
placed so that the entrance for the
passengers is located in the middle
of the car on the right side, giving
the passengers an unobstructed pass
ageway to their seats. The drivers
door, however, is at the front of the
car on the left side, so that he inter-
feres with no one when he enters or
leaves the automobile.
Up to the time Of the introduction
of this type Of body, the convertible
sedans we're equipped with doors on
each side in the middle Of the car.
It is expected that the installation OF
staggered doors will add to the pop
ularity Of the Willys-Knight sedans,
which already have become one of
the most-admired types Of the COM
prehensive WHY'S Overland line.

L. p. PLACES BIG ORDER.
Buys 80 Locomotives Costing $50, 900
Each, for Northwest Business.

A really tremendous equipment or.
der, the MAGNITUDE and importance OF
which it is difficult for the average
mind to grasp, was recently made by
the Union Pacific System. 1t was
for SO locomotives from the Baldwin
locomotive works and 16 Mallet
type from the American Locomotive
company, making a total of 70 huge
machines that will cost between $45,.
900 and $4,000 apiece.
Needless to say, they are to be OF
the very latest and most approved
design, and the order indicates the
faith that the Union Pacific manage
ment has not only in the tremendous
business which conditions promise
for the next few years, but in the
rapid progress and development OF
the West.
