Clean Oil In Crank Case

Farm and Firesde. These are usually
in too small amounts to interfere with
the successful running of the machine,

such impurities accumulates in the
crank case and reduces the lubricating
value of the crank case oil.
The oil Furthermore wears out az the

disintegration. Although the instruc-
tons which come with n ear advise the
owner TO drain off the old oil every
1000 miles and replace with fresh oil,
these instructions are not always heed

long rs there is oil in the crank case
there must be fabrication: hence burnt

for lubricants, little realizing the high
price he must eventually pay for pre-

FACTS CONCERNING
 SECONDLIBERTYLOAN

There is now offered to the Amcri- can people a new issue Of S3,0OO,O0O,- 900 of bonds, known as the Second Liberty Loan, for the purpose of pro viding the sinews of war.
 The Second Liberty Loan bonds bear 49o interest. You are asked to lend your money, upon the soundest security in the world for a period of ten to twenty-five years.
 Your interest will be paid twice a year, November 18th and May. 18th.
 No tax as long as you live on any purchase not above S5,000.
 Buyers of the first Liberty Bonds began to draw interest on June 10th.
 Your bonds have not been delivered because the government felt that you would wish 496 bond, for unless your income is over S1OO,O00 per year, the new fours are a more desirable invest ment than the 31z % bonds of the first issue.

LOAN RALLY
 Is HELD AT OATMAN

Oatman convinced Mohave county last Tuesday night that she is on the map when it comes to holding Liberty loan rallies. Several persons went over fromKingman to attend the mass meeting with the usual amount of en- thusiasm. They came back with un- stinted praise for the reception accord ed them and could not say too much for the manner in which the event was carried off.
 The speakers were paid the closest attention, their mission falling on re- .ceptive ears, and just before the meet ing adjourned they were given vote of thanks for their visit.
 When the Kingman visitors arrived they found everything in readiness for the meeting. Committees had been organized and the entire program mapped out. Chairman Burgess ex- plained the object of the meeting in a stirring appeal for liberal support of the war bond campaign. He was fol- lowed by E. E. Bollinger, J. H. Ros- enberg, W. K. Smith and Dr. Bowes. Each in his turn emphasized the i'm portance of providing necessary mon ey for war purposes.
 A number of subscriptions were made that night and the soliciting committee announced its purpose of following up the meeting with a wig crous campaign. The meeting was held in the Oatman theater. Refresh ments were served and those in at tendance pronounced it a grand sue cess.
Mohave County miner., 1917-10-20

In order to save money the govern ment stopped printing the 91z9o bonds.
 If you are absolutely sure you want 9 315 @ bond and not a 4s6, your bank will get it for you. The 49o for which you exchange the old 31a e will be de- livered November 18th at no expense for the exchange, ana without loss of interest
 Your bank will allow you to buy the bonds of small denominations upon the installment basis; 1096 down and 1096 per month until paid for at 49o interest on unpaid balance. This is the amount of interest you are get ting paid.
 We fight for peace-for just and lasting peace.
 To secure these ends we appeal to every man and woman who resides up- on the free soil of America to buy Liberty Bond.

INVESTIGATE POWER RATES.

On it's own initiative the Arizona Corporation Commission will hold a session of the Commission in Kingman on the Fist of November to inquire in to the lawfulness (awfulness) of the rates and charges made by the Desert Power and Water company for cleo tricity supplied to it's customers.
 It will be remembered that the Cor poration Commission had its engineer here for nearly a month last spring getting the physical valuation of the property of the power company. At the time, it is understood the books of the concern had been taken to Los An geles, but an order was made by the Commission requiring that they be at once returned to the jurisdiction of the rate making body.
 The price of power and light in Kingman has grown year by yea til today it is one of the heaviest bur dens that the householder has to bear. As an illustrat,on we may cite the case of Anscn H. Smith. During one month he operated a five-horse power motor driving a pump for approxim-
