NOW IS TIME TO
GET INQUISITIVE

Legislative candidates are sprouting
in great profusion these early spring
days. It is time for voters to begin in
vestigation Who are these men who
want to represent You in the State Leg
islature? Will they frankly declare they
are for the ratification of the Federal
Prohibition Amendment? If they will
not so declare, prepare to defeat them.
This issue is clear-cut and no legislative
candidate should be permitted to dodge
it. See that every candidate declares
himself. The American Issue.

[Ft. Recovery Journal

A report was circulated here Monday
afternoon that 172, 900 German prisoners
and the Crown Prince had been cap
tured by the allies. A great deal of ex-
citement was created by the report, and
how il originated is not known. Tues
days daily papers were eagerly sought
for. but nothing concerning the above
rumor was found Great rejoicing, it is
said, was manifested among certain in
'dividuals when it was ascertained that
the report was found to be untrue.

BOOZE AND TREASON
[oberlin News ]

1t is entirely fitting that the evidence
should show the German American Alli-
ance had two main purposes, one to
serve the Kaiser in his program OF dam
nable frightiulness and the other to sup
port the interests of the makers and
sellers OF booze. This was happy cons
bination of traitors and fighters of de-
cency.

Motor truck operators are greatly

State Council of Defense has created
a system OF bureaus operatd by the

where good results are being obtained
in bringing together shippers who
have loads to be hauled and owners
of trucks who wish to obtain loads to
carry back to their home cities after
delivering lloads in neighboring cities.
In New York City the Merchants

A VALVE-GRINDING HINT.

In cases where a badly pitted
valve requires grinding there is a
short cut. Cut a piece of emery
cloth in dimensions a little bit
wider than the valve seating and
twice as long and then double it
over SO that both surfaces are cut
ting surfaces. Next cut a hole in
the cloth so that the valve stem may
be passed through and the emery
cloth brought close up against the
valve head. The valve is then placed

WHY'S Overland Company
Honors Men in Service

Just inside the door of the big
building of the Will
lys-overland Company in Toledo the
visitor may see one of the COM
pany's proudest possessions. 1t is a
service flag. which stands a mute
in the services of Uncle Sam. some-
where on the broad Atlantic. on the
battle-torn fields of France or in
the training camps.
1t has been said that this Is a
gasoline war;" and the numerous
requirements in men who are skill
full in the construction of internal
combustion engines would seem to
bear out the truth of this state
ment.

RADIATOR LEAKS;
THEIR REMEDIES

When the radiator has been seri-
ously injured. homo remedies are
generally useless and a soldering
job in the repair shop Is the only
solution. However. for minor holes
the car owner can perform a very
fair curative operation. First make
a heavy solution of one of the ordi-
nary radiator cements in warm
water. II the hole is in the bottom
of the radiator or near it, take
off the hose at the bottom and plug
the vent with a cork. Pour in
enough OF the cement solution to
cover the leak and allow it to stand
for half an hour or so and then
drain and flush out the water sys-
tenn.

Aiufner Paint.

1t is difficult TO find satisfactory
paint for the exhaust pipe and muller
because of the. heat of these parts.
Here Is q highly recommended muller
paint: Boiled linseed oil. 1-5 pound;
Japan varnish, is pound; turpentine.
rs pound; lamp black, 1l-2 ounces;
powdered graphite, IL ounces; pow
dered oxide of manganese. 3-S ounce.
Mix the linseed oil and japan varnish
well together. then add in order. stir
ring all the time. the lamp black, the
graphite and the powdered manganese.
AS the mixture thickens thin 1t down
with turpentine, until the quantity
mentioned has been used. This mix
ture should be used as soon as 1t is
mixed, as 1t dries quickly. Every time
the brush is dipped in 1t should be
stirred. 1t is well to paint the muffler
while It is hot. after having cleaned 1t
thoroughly.
