and in addition may make cIutch oper- ation and gear shifting difficult.
 The transmission inevitably wastes some power through friction, but if this unit is not kept well fabricated and properly running. it becomes a pro- digious waster When there is any Arrangement in the transmission. bearings worn, shafts out Of align ment, etc, power wastes are enor. nous. Trouble in the transmission should meyer be neglected.
 Next in line come the universalS and these must be kept packed with the proper lubricant all the time. The rear axle unit must be at least three times a year cleaned out with kero- sene and have fresh lubricant. When anything goes wrong with the rear axle. its consumption of power is al- most unbelievable. In this connection the wheel bearings must be kept in good condition; jack up the rear wheels and try them occasionally to see that they move freely.
 In the tires, the owners can help power losses by keeping them pumped up to the pressure recommended by the maker. The wider the tire the more power it takes to carry it over the road, consequently the need for keep ing the castings fully inflated. Also this very important item of mainten- ance preserves the tires and cuts down the bills.
 There hardly is any need to mention to the experienced motorist that brakes which are not free will drag against the drum and literally eat up gasoline, A brake drag is so easy to discover simply jack up the wheel and spin il around. listening for a scraping noise as it spins.

what faithfulness has meant to hu- manity could be given. Faithfulness in the Miller factory has made uniform tires possible. Without it, there would be variations in vital operations, which would result in tires that would fail to be uniform in the mileage they give. Without faithfulness, the efficiency Of the Miller picked squads would be or dinary instead of exceptional. Without faithfulness, the average personal ef- ficiency of these men would not be 96 per cent-nor the record of less than 1 per cent of all Miller tires calling for adjustment a reality.
 "Faithfulness,' concluded MT. Mill hoff. has been indispensable in the achievement of everything really good without it nothing worth while has been done. Without it even wars can- not be won.''

FULNESS THE SECRET OF MILLER
 TIRE CONSTRUCTION

"The more I see of this world, the more am impressed with the almost marvellous part faithfulness has played in the things worth the men tion," said F. c. Millhoff, general sales manager of the Miller Rubber company Akron, Ohio. You know it is not so much the material of which those grand edifices of Rheims were made that endeared them to the heart of every Frenchman-and everybody save the ruthless boche. It was the infinite care with which every stone was put in place and every minute detail car- ried out with perfect precision. It was faithfulness.
 And so example after example of

of the farm.
 History has surely repeated itself. In every great war history has shown that labor saving devices always result there from. As R. H. Avery invented the first planter in the civil war; when as Union soldier, an Andersonville prisoner of war; an observer of repeat ed death through idleness, disease, homesickness and complete discourage ment; at that time a young man, he worked out with a pointed stick and the ground as his drawing board, his ideas of a mechanical corn planter and cultivator, later becoming first presi- dent of the Avery company. Just so has J. B. Bartholomew, the present president of the Avery company, in- vented the Avery motor cultivator and planter and presented it to the world as an ever greater labor saving de- vice.
