Remove Oil OF. Grease Spots.

If a. spot Of oil or grease. gets s'on
the tires, remove 1t with "a little gasor
line on a..cloth:' Heat seftens tires
and light has the Same effect. Meyer,
leave your car with the full blaze OF
the sun beating down on your tires: =
Consider the pressure. The. rule is
to multiply the small diameter by
eighteen pounds for the front tires
and twenty pounds for the rear tires
the figures Would be .seventy-twe and
eight pounds, respectively. Use a
pressure gauge and then you may pc
sure you are right:
The question arises every summer
whether the tires should be slightly
DEBATED or not on .hot, day.. Tire
companies. recommend no change. II
any pressure Is lost the tire becomes
soft. causing the layers Of fabric to
work and heat. This the.
fabric and. the heat rots. the rubber.

Spend an extra dollar for the right
kind Of oil and save possible ten in

Chan ge the engine oil often and be

duty. Moreover. with the increased
cost Of tires, 1t is to the interest OF
every motorist- to institute an econ

mileage as much as possible. :.
To prolong tire. efficiency; the mo-
torist should. guard. his pneumatics

GILBERT APPEALS
FOR FARM LABOR

The demand for labor to gather
the crops is most urgent and unless
sacrifices are made in this direction
and labor is Forthcoming from the
places nd industries that can spare
labor, the harvest cannot be saved
and Georgia will not be doing her
pat to supply food for our soldiers
now lighting for us overseas" is the
message Governor Dorsey is sending
10 the Chairmen of the County Coun-
ellis of defense in Georgia, urging
their aid Ill recruiting labor for the
harvest time.
The message is sent out through
Judge Price Gilbert, Chairman of the
Central Committe, Georgia Council of
Defense, who in a letter to County
Council Chairmen, asks them to orga-
niz4 every County in Georgia for the
purpose of supplying farm labor to
gather the fall crops.
Every laborer that can be released
in towns and cities for even one day
should be listed in a properly organic
ed bureau and supplied as needed to
save the harvest The demand is
urgent and patriotic men in every
community are urged to feel their OBJ
Iisation in this direction, and to make
sacrifices in the matter of their la
Dor. in order that the war harvest be
gathered and the men oveseas sup
Piled with necessary food.
A fair example of the organization
necessary is Thomas County, where

tense, conditions have been so adjust
ed as to utilize all non-essential labor
tnat can be released from the town
ever temporarily during the harvest
