required to fill in the wash-out on the
eighth green.

Maxwell Truck, Crossing
Continent Loaded, Making
Record for Long Run
By c. E. T. Scharps

Motorists light lamps to-day. s:45 n. NJ
The Maxwell truck, which was ey-
pected to take about month to cross
the continent, carrying a load of war
goods from Australia to France" has
fractured the schedule so badly that
the truck is likely now to get here
either late tonight or else some time
tomorrow morning. Latest reports
from the Maxwell Military Express. as
1t is called, showed that it covered 225
miles into Canton, Ohio, on it's run on
Wednesday, and yesterday was some
what less than 500 miles from the end
OF its journey.
Ray Mcnamara, who is driving the
truck, started from San Francisco on
July, H.. At the rate he is going the
truck trip across the continent will be
made IN about seventeen days. This
is record for a commercial vehicle
across country, if ever there was one.
In fact, 1t compares very favorablv
with the carly records for touring car
performances.
The latest kilograms received bv

READY FOR WAR WORK

when our soldiers face the Ger
mans in the trenches we do not expect
them to be equipped with rusted and
broken weapons We want them to
have the best modern war equipment
and to be trained TO care properly for
this equipment" says James Arentson,
farm machinery specialist division of
extension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.
we believe that the present war
Will be won by the man behind the
plow," he continues. IF this is true,
it certainly behooves us to keep that
implement in the best possible condi-
ton.
Every effort should be made this
winter to put the farm implements in
such condition that there will be no
loss of time in the field next spring.
Il. Prevent rust and rot by proyid-
ing a good shelter. Paint where neces
sary.
"2. Thoroly clean and oil all work
ing parts.
80 Apply axle grease to all polish
ed surfaces, such as cultivator shovels,
corn planter shoes, plows, etc.
a. Order all needed repairs at
once.
rs. Make repairs this winter and
plowshares, cultEator shovels ETC.,
sharpened before you need them.
BE prepared for the great spring
