RUST is AN ENEMY TO TIRES
Rims Should Be Carefully Cleaned
With Emery and Japanned to
Prevent Deterioration.

1t will pay the mOtOrist to inspect
occasionally the condition of the rims
on the wheels of his car, especially if
the outer surfaces Of the castings near
the beads look rusty.
This discolOration is rust caused by
rusted rims, and rust if not arrested
will gradually eat through the rubber,
attacking the canvas of the tire. In
time the edges of the rusted rims will
become more and more uneven. tearing
and eventually destroying the beads.
Furthermore, rust works in between
the beads and the rims, leaving space
for water, which also damages the rub
Der.
To remove rust from a rim. the tire
should be taken off and the rusty parts
rubbed clean with coarse emery paper.
Then smooth the surface with finer
emery paper and re-japan the rim, ap-
plying one coat to the outside and two
to the inside, making sure first that
the surface is smooth and free from
rust.

POULTRY KEEPING

upon it. There is an abundance of

Backyard Poultry Keeping Farmers

as to the best kinds of chicken houses
to build, with bill of materials for
same, directions as to feeding the
fowls, Matching and raising chicks, pre-

al, 5000 Acres of Wheat
Should Be S0wn This Fall
For 1919 Liberty Harvest

A great liberty wheat harvest in
1919 is asked OF American farmers in
a national growing program issued by
Secretary Houston after full cOnSiG-
GRAFTON of the increasing needs for
this essential food at home and in the
allied nations.
Not less than 100000 acres of win
ter wheat is called for in this falls
sowing and Secretary Houston sug-
geStS that Approximately 47,5O0,O90
acres could be S0wn if conditions are
especially favorable. The larger acre
age, it was pointed out, would better
meet the estimated needs Of the al
lied nations and the population at
home.
From the minimum acreage called
for, which is only about the average
of the five years 1887, it is estimated
636,000,000 bushels OF winter wheat
might be expected; from the suggested
larger acreage, approximately 6of,c0o-
COO bushels should be harvested. These
production estimates are based upG1

MAKING GOOD "RUST JOINT"
Directions Given for Making Reason
ably Satisfactory Job Where
Welding Is Not Possible.

1t is possible to make fairly salts
factory repair of a cracked water
Jacket or of fault in a casting, by
what is known as rust joint" To
perform this operation take ten parts
OF fine iron filings, Ole part of sal
ammoniac, and half part of flowers OF
sulphur; mix all these ingredients
into paste with water and apply to
the fracture, allowing the compound
to become hard. Of course the ideal
repair for this sort of thing is weld
ing, but this operation is not always
possible and the above makes a rea-
sonably satisfactory temporary repair.

Milk Soups.

Take one quart OF skim milk. one
fourth of cupful of meat fat or oleo-
margarine, one-fourth of a cupful of
-four, two teaspoonfulS of salt. Melt
the fat and stir it into the flour ;
when well mixed add the cold milk and
cook until the flour is well cooked,
stirring constantly. This thickened
milk may be used as foundation for
any cream soup. Add two cupfuls OF
corn, peas, beans, or potato pulp. In
using tomato, add fourth of tea

burned from that cause in the past and
similar accidents are bound to happen
again. 1t is well to be ON guard and

The most frequent cause is lean

mixture than usual. The carburetor
gets out of adjustment in some way
and the mischief is done. A lean mix
ture is slow burning. 1t burns during

From Portland SPECTATOR

Many man in the northwest coun-
try will regret that Colonel John II.
Cradlebaugh, of Salem, is dead.
Newspapermen those who in past
years have ttouched elbows with him,
here or other where, will be sorry that
he has at last laid down his pencil.
The day was never dark or somber
where Colonel Cradlebaugh was. He
dealt in sunshine and smiles, not in
shadows and tears. Yet he had his
full share of sorrow and disappoint-
ment Wealth came to him in his
young manhood. and, fckle as the gold
that comes from the mine often is,
again left him poor. But though his
fitting competence robbed him of lux
ury and of ease, it did not take from
him the treasure of his optimism or his
ability to see the good in others and in
life.
Colonel Cradlebaugh was an opti.
mist He smiled as he went his way,
and others, touched with his contagion,
smiled with him. In delightful verse
and prose, he wove the sunshine into
the things of which he wrote through
out his long service in the newspaper
field, and left the imprint of his own
cheer upon the minds and hearts Of
those he touched. The world needs
men such as John Cradlebaugh was in
life. 1t misses such men when death
calls them.
