TRUCKS ON TRUCKS"
 THROUGH FACTORY

To keep up with the tremendous de- mauo Tor Republic trucks from year Co year has made necessary the build Ing and equipping of huge factories in record time. IL has also meant the installation of time and labor saving devices or every conceivable kind Nroughout the plants. having the skill
 nd ingenuity of Republics industrial 1Elnccrs and factory heads.
 Ono Of the most interesting phases or Inc work performed in the Re pubic factories is. probably that Of The 'DolliCs." X rather effeminate sounding cognomon for a mans size lob. that's true, but these "Dollies" arc anything but that. Their work is Vial and necessary. And it is due. .1 mo small measure, to the ceaseless energy ot the "Dollies" that Republic factories are able, day after day, to build hundreds of trucks that find tneir way into the hands of waiting customers in every part of America and most foreign countries
 Tho dolly truck, or the "Dollies" as thcv aro more commonly known, is factory vcrnaCular for the small truck used Co support the frame of a Re public truck on its tourney along the nroduCtion line. From the time the stool frame leaves the sand-blaster untl Che first paint oven is reached, Tho dolly truck is am inseparable com naninn of The biz Republic.
 Overhead conveyors carry the frames from the frame department to fho starting point of tho five produc- f'on lines. Here they are placed on dolly trucks which are automatically pulled down the line, from one group of mon to another. by means of an endless cable. The Republic truck does not rest on its own wheels until nficr the final inspection. when it is ready for iis first coat of paint.
 After passing along the production llne 70 the point of final nspectiion, fhc dminutive dolly is carrying on its sturdy back @ completed Republic truck fho motor purring a rythmatic -faccato that denotes anxiety to heed tle call of the open road and crowded thorourhfarc.
 When Republic experts, trained men all of them. have made their thor ough and painsiaking inspection of every part of tho truck. it moves on and str1ddles an elevated platform which forms a sort of hurdle over inclined runways that intercept each "f fhc five production lines. As the front wheels of the Republic mount this hurdle the dolly truck is auto matically released from beneath and dashcs down the incline and out of the building. ePropellod hv it's own mo- mentum. created by the plunge down the pit it mounts to the ground floor level and races to the beginning of thc production lines again. Here an |..
 fastened to both sides of the banked tmck automatically slow up the dolly so as to prevent it smashing headlong Into its sisters ahead It is at this point that the "Dollies" are fed, by rravitv into the factory. They ad- vance to their places at the head of each production line in single file, like well-trained soldiers, with the re- serves quickly filling the gaps in the ranks as each dolly in front is called into service.

OWNERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT

have a five passenger Cadillac car and cannot get over 25 miles an hour even though l race my engine as if were going SO miles an hour After standing two or three hours I can throw the switch on the batteries and it will start on compression. I have had the magneto charged and the points fixed. When the car is stand ing still it runs nicely on the magneto, but when it starts the power is not there, so I have to run on the bat teries. I cannot make even a small hill without the engine knocking and l have to shift. It pulls pretty well on second. What is the real trouble W. l.. B.
 I would attend to two matters-the mixture and the clutch. I believe that that trouble is in the latter, assuming this from what you say in the first sentence. The fact that the engine runs away with itself while the car is only travelling 25 miles an hour leads me to believe that the clutch is slip ping badly.

 clothes closets the discarded garments of past seasons as measure of econ- omy, it is equally as wise for the car owner to take every step to squeeze a few more miles out of his worn tires.
 From it's agent in Skidmore Mo-, the United States Tire company has re- ceived some. facts which show in very pointed way the possibilities of additional service to be gotten out of tires considered fit by their owners only for the scrap pile:
 Some time ago 34 by 4 United States Hobby Thread casing was sold by us to one of our customers in Slidmore. This customer tells us that this casing operated 5000 miles when it became punctured in two or three places. Feeling that the tire had run it's necessary mileage, and being a man who did not care to be bothered

into the water system and injures the rubber with which it comes in contact So it is very important to give the system an overhauling and replace damaged hose connections.
 Pump Wear
 The continued action of the impeller of a centrifugal water pump or of the gears of a gear pump frequently caus- es wear in the pump. In case a con siderable space develops between the impeller and the pump casing the power of the pump is largely reduced The only remedy for this condition is to install new parts in place of the worn ones.

 We repaired the punctures and sold the tire to another customer who conducts livery service with a light Buick Six. This second customer placed the repaired tire on his car and

does it pay to do this if it is possible? R. l.. Borden.
 It is possible to straighten a gear, but it must be softened and then re- treated and case hardened. The ordi- nary shop has not facilities for doing this, as the proper way is to press the gear between dies as it is being quenched.
 In lenghtening a chassis I saw {, garage man split the drive shaft and the frame and then put sections in both, welding the sections in place. Do you think this will hold, and is it all right ?-Thomas Mccarthy.
 A good welding job should prove satisfactory.
 Will you give me good formula for removing road tar from the running gear of my car, something that won't hurt the finish. Hal B.
 Kerosene applied before the tar dries is good. Use at little as possible and rub only over the tar spot. Salt butter allowed to remain on for Is minutes is said to remove it. l be- lieve the Du Pont company in Will mington, Del, makes some sort of a tar removing preparation.

EVERY OUNCE OF USE
 IN TIRE |S DESIRED

War economy and the curtailment of tire production make it essential that every automobilist get every ounce of use possible out of his tires before throwing them into the scrap heap.

ceeds to arraign Senator Penrose,
who is a Republican, for making Re-
publican speech to other Republi-
cans. He quotes an discriminating
passage beginning, 81 want to say to
the Republican Party, keep it vigor-
Gus and virile all through the United
States, successful whenever it can be
successful, &c. He quotes passages
from other Republican speeches, all
of which convey to the ordinary
mind the impression that these Re-
publicans would like to see the Re-
publican Party win. No doubt they
convey the same impression to Mr..
Tumulty's mind; but that mind is in
such fervid state that the express
sion of this desire on their part seems
to him to verge on Copperheadism.
What does Mr.. Tumulty want?
The tone of his letter almost suggests
that he believes it is near treason to
invite anyone to vote the Republican
ticket. The President is very busy
with more important things, but it
does seem as if he could spare a mo-
ment to put a, little ice on his secre-
tary's fevered brow, or tame down
his anguish in some way. AS for
Mr.. Hays, who was speaking in what
he supposed to be confidence and
whose remarks were not stenographi-
cally reported, there is version of
his speech which represents him as
saying nothing whatever about the
President or the Democratic leaders
in connection with ending the war,
but as saying that "a certain social
istic coterie in Washington" would
like to end the war without hurting
Germony too much. IL he said that,
he understated the truth; the coterie
is not only in that frame of mind,
seems to be doing all it can to bring
it's wishes about. 1t is only socialistic
in the parlor-socialist way, but it
looks with a kindly eye on pacifsm
and the Non-Partisan League. 1t is
not so long since it actually projected
the notorious Lindenbergh of Mime
sofa into the White House and got
him an interview with the President.

JOIN THE
FIGHTING FOURTH
100000

That sounds like a lot of money,
doesn't it? Well, it is a lot of money
to the greater number of people who
I've in this town, yet Uncle Sam says
that he is going to come here and
borrow that amount for few years
and pay us higher rate of interest
than we could get at the Savings
banks. The question then naturally
arises: Will we let him do it?
IL it was stranger that came to
our town and demanded that we loan
him like sum of money, we would
all hesitate and think whether it
would be wise or not. With Uncle
Sam it is different story. We know
him too well to even ask what is to
become of this money. He says he
needs and needs it bad just now and
by way of explanation, goes on to say
that the sooner he gets it the sooner
the Hun will be whipped for long
time to come and that means that
Just SO many American lives will be
saved Now, then, the question is up
thoyou: Which do you value more
your money or the lives of our
brave young men who are fighting
in Europe that YOU may rest in
comfort and peace here at home?
There is no question what the
answer to such a question will be,
yet every person who buys bonds or
who should buy bonds, will do we'll to
ask themselves that question before
subscribing to the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
The people of this town have
greater task than ever before during
the coming three weeks in raising
100000. There is less time than in
previous loans in which to raise this
money. With these facts before us,
there is but one course to follow,
and that is to buy early, buy often
and buy more than you ever did be-
fore. In previous lean campaigns we
have raised our allotment without
much trouble and now that we really
have a task before us that will re-
quire a little effort, let everyone put
their shoulders to the wheel and push
this loan through to a successful con-
clusion, thereby making this towns
reputation for patriotism greater
and brighter than ever before.
