urges that farmers having surplus OF
good seed corn notify him of the fact,
giving the number Of bushels at their

Bull in order that he may put them
in touch with farmers having more

"Every farmer in the southern half
Of Minnesota should put in from to

Mr.. Bull. "To do so, is to render a
patriotic service, and it will also be
good business.''

WHY AUTOMOBILE GETS OLD
Car Which Has Seen 100000 Miles and
Bearings Are in Good Condition
Is New Machine. 4

W. y VI -.
The Wfe Of the bearings of a car Id,
termines the usefulness Of the entire
machine. A car with badly worn bear
ings is an old car even though it may
have Travelled less than 10000 miles,
whereas one which has seen 10D,00l
miles to use and still has bearings In

ing, a new machine.
Wear on bearings is determined by
four conditions, II. W. Slauson writes
in Leslie's. First, the load which that
bearing carries; second, the speed At
which the bearing surfaces move Over
each other; third the nature of thesf
surfaces and their ability to reslsl
wear; fourth, the fabrication which
those surfaces receive and its ability
to prevent the formation Of the de.
structive heat Of friction.
The matter of load becomes q mat
ter of size, for with a given load it is
but that with large surface over
which to distribute the pressure, the
load on each square inch of bearing
surface will be less. This means thai
the life Of bearings will, in general, be
in proportion to their size.

TRANSPORTATION SITUATION.

Hon. Jeanette Rankin, member OF
congress from Montana, writing In the
Chicago Herald on the federal food bill
and it's prohibition amendment, empha-
sizes very forcefully the transporta-
ton side of this economic problem.
We quote:
"The converting of grains into food
products instead of into liquor would
not stop in Its beneficial results with
the mere increase in food supplies. 1t
would touch the heart of problem Of
food distribution which has been long
begging for solution.
''For years we have known that the
reason produce was rotting In the
fields in one part of the country while
men, women and children were starv-
Ing in another part Of the country, was
because transportation facilities were
inadequate to transfer all available
food from Its source of production to
the consumer.
According to the United States stas
tistics abstract for 1915, there are In
this country 2,356,338 freight cars.
There were consumed in this country
In 1916 almost 100000 carloads Of
liquor, including more than $4,000 car
loads Of wine and spurious liquors and
more than $4,000 carloads Of beer.
"Of course, much Of this liquor was
consumed in the same locality in which
it was produced, so that perhaps one
| third of it, or even one-half of 1t, never
necessitated the use Of freight cars for
conveyance. But it is conservative to
estimate that the transportation Of
liquor In the United States requires
] TIE use of 10 per cent Of the freight
cars available for use In this coun-
try.
1.-TWO hundred thousand freight cars
would go long way toward reliev-
ing the transportation situation with
regard to food products, and the re-
lease of these cars for this service
would greatly augment the pairing
knife campaign which the women of
the country have been urged to wage
in the interests of the war.
'Inasmuch as the production Of beer
In this country has occupied just ten
times the bulk of spurious liquors
and wines, the exemption Of beer and
light wines from the prohibition regu-
lations would mean that less than one
eighth of the possibly available freight
cars Ito say nothing of the grains
used) would be released for food trans
portation."

READY FOR winter
Wise Motorist viii Lose No Time
in Preparing His Car for
Cold Weather.
SOME PRECAUTIONS TO take
May Be Means of Saving Owner of

Car-Avoid Freezing.

With the advent of fall weather and
the prospect Of sharp drop in tenn
perature at almost any time the wise
motorist should lose no time in prepar-
ing his car for winter driving. A few
precautions taken now may be the
means of saving the car owner a lot
of expense and at the same time in
crease the efficiency of his machine,
writes John G. belong in Chicago
Tribune.
The time was when the motorist
placed his car in dead storage soon
after the first frost and left it there
until spring. But improvements in the
mechanism and the addition of scores
of cold weather comforts have made
the modern car something that may be
safely used the year round. However,
there are many things that should be
looked after before the machine is
ready for the winter campaign.
Motor to Differential.
First of all the car should be given
4 thorough going over from motor to
differential and all necessary adjust
ments or requirements made. In most
cases it is well to drain all of the old
oil out of the crank case and replace
it with q slightly lighter grade than
was used in the summer. The thing
Of the greatest Importance, however,
Is to take precautions against freezing
Of the water In the radiator and water
jacket, for if Jack Frost once gets in
good stiff punch the car will go
down and out for a long and expensive
stay in the repair shop, where welding
will have to be done, even if it is not
found necessary to put on new cylin-
der block. And a new cylinder block
usually means now pistons and other
things that bring joy to the heart of
the repair man and corresponding
gloom to the heart of the motorist.
Nonfreezino Solution.
The addition of some good nonfreez-
ing solution to the water in the radia-
tor is of the utmost Importance and
should not be delayed too long. Then,
too, the radiator must be protected
with a cover which may be purchased
at an expense of from $3.50 to SO, de-
pending upon the make and size of the
car. This cover not only tends to keep
the water from becoming CONCEALED
but warns the motor up to its most
efficient temperature. If ones car is
equipped with motometer it is COM
paratively easy to run the temperature
up to $50 or ITO degrees, something
that adds to the mileage derived from
the gasoline. 1t is a well-known fact
that a warm motor runs much better
than q cold one.
Radiator Solutions.
Radiator solutions differ somewhat.
but all of them should contain a good
percentage of alcohol. The use of salts
should be avoided, for, while they will
not evaporate like alcohol, they have
bad effect on the metal, and also eat
