England's Potato Crop Good.
In England, the 1917 potato crop
was the best in years. There are two
million tons more OF potatoes than
the average pre-war crop. England's
dietary practices are OF so long
standing and SO well fixed that the
ministry actually fears an outbreak
should an attempt be made forcibIy
20 change them. IL is estimated that
II England and France could ra-
ton their people 70 the extent and
as successfully as Germany has
done. they would save at least five
million tons OF shipping now requir-
ed for the importation Of food.
England claims. and France con-
firms this statement that America
must send one million tons Of GER
eals. chiefly wheat, during January
and February TO give them sufficient
reserve TO enable them 20 live and
feel comfortable. Englands con-
sumption Of cereals has increased
five percent Her consumption Of
meat. probably because OF the high
wages paid the laborer. and the
laborer's determination to indulge
himself because OF his ability 10 af-
ford Injuries has increased five per-
cent. England's consumption Of
sugar has decreased.
England and France are still ser
iOusly short Of food in certain areas
and il takes import from US 20 help
them, in order that they may help
themselves. English and French no
tells are still selling most foods free
". although at excessive and extor-
tionate prices. This produces the
impression on American travellers
that there is no shortage Of food
stuffs and accounts for the reports
that are constantly coming back 20
this country and are seriously i'm
peding the work Of voluntary food
control in this country.

AVOID WASTE OF GASOLINE
Do Not Run Engine While Sta nding
Still Unless Necessary-Make
Use Of Lean Mixture.

There are many ways to avoid gaso-
line waste. One is not to ALLOW the
engine to run idle, except whe1. abso-
lutely necessary. Another is to run
your car on as lean mixture as pos
sible. The car may not accelerate as
rapidly, and may cough a little when
1t is cold; but If you win be patient
with 1t you will get much higher mile
age. Every car has an economical
speed, usually between 10 and IS miles
per hour. Try TO drive at those speeds.
Accelerate gradually, as this requires
less gasoline than trying to reach top
speed quickly. Anticipate your stops.
close the throttle before you reach the
stopping place, and coast to stand
still.
Keep your car running at top eff
cheney. This means keeping the motor
free from carbon. as a carbonized mo-
tor consumes an excessive amount of
fuel. Use good grade of oil In the
motor, and keep all moving parts well
fabricated to reduce friction losses.
Run the car on high as much as pos
sible, as this is the economical speed
Keep the tires well inflated, as soft
tires waste power. See that the
brakes do not bind and cause friction
when the car is running. Finally, use
kerosene instead of gasoline for clean
ing.-Milestones.

CAREFULLY INSPECT NEW CAR
Not Safe to Assume That All Parts
Have Been Properly fabricated
Before Shipping.

1t is not safe to assume that all
parts of the car that has just been
delivered to the new owner have been
properly fabricated. 1t sometimes
happens that grease cups have been
left untitled when the car was shipped
and that wheel bearings, universals.
steering gears, ete.. have been over
looked. 1t is always well to go care
fully over the lubricating system of
the new car and see that 1t has its
due allotment of lubricant.

DO NOT USE FIBER WASHERS
Action Of Gasoline Has Tendency to

Lead Is Better,

Do not forget that fiber washers
should never be used in the fuel line or
in any part of the engine where the

gasoline upon the fiber washer has a
tendency to make the motor pun slug

GOOD ADVICE ON
AVOIDING FIRES
Professor Pratt Gives Hints to
Owners and Drivers on
Safety First.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRES
Principal Cause and One Which oc-
ours Most Frequently Is Back
firing-Gasoiine in Drip Pan
Another Source Of Trouble.

Automobile fires. their causes and
their prevention. is the general theme
taken up by Prof Clyde II. Pratt.
president OF the Cleveland Automobile
school.
Despite the many general cam
paigns of education of automobile
owners and chauffeurs in precautions
against fire, enough cases continue to
occur to warrant word of caution
and an additional word of prevention"
says Professor Pratt.
while automobile fires do not al
ways originate from causes considered
to be within the control of the driver,
the great majority are entirely unnec-
essary as well as preventable. The
principal cause. of course. and the one
which occurs most frequently. is back
firing. Although 1t is unnecessary to
enumerate all the causes that lead up
TO backfiring. it is well to point out
that the chief one is a mixture that is
too lean when fed to the cylinders.
Backfiring will almost invariably fol-
low when this condition is present.
when there is back fire a sheet
of flame bursts from the air intake
of the carburetor. and IL there is any
thing inflammable in that vicinity 1t
is very apt to catch fire.
Sure to Make Trouble.
Bearing always In mind that gaso-
to understand that If there is gasoline
in the drip pan there is almost sure
TO be sufficient mixture about the
carburetor to make trouble for the
driver. The drip pan under the car
buretor should be so arranged that the
gasoline Is drained off before it has
time to vaporize.
Under ordinary circumstances
there should not be much gasoline
there at any time. If it comes from
leak in the supply pipe or the car
buretor connection 1t should be re-
paired at once; If it Is from carburetor
overflow, due to poor seating of the
float valve, the carburetor should be
cleaned
Under some conditions too fast
running may be a cause for fire in the
automobile. Great speed usually heats
the exhaust pipe almost to a glow. If
the pipe is close to woodwork, particu-
larly where there is an accumulation
of grease or dirt, there may be
fire. Keep the woodwork free from oil
and grease at all times and thus pre-
vent possible blaze from this par
ticular cause.
Oil and Grease Wasted.
THE exhaust pipe also heats when
the engine Is run with greatly re-
tarded spark. Here again oil would
increase the menace. The economical
operator will not allow oil or grease
to be wasted in this way.
occasionally when the car is stand
ing in the garage the supply line will
leak trifie. If under this condition
the car is left standing in closed
garage all night, the vaporlzed ac-
cumulation on the floor would ignite
from an open cutout when the engine
Is started.
Sometimes the tank overfiows
when it is filled by an operator who
is in a great hurry. Then in the
further hurry to make quick start
the muffler cutout is opened and the
driver finds that he is not due to leave
the garage for some time to come, If
ever, in that particular machine.

LAKE LILLIAN PASTOR
ABLE TO COME HOME.

Rev. B. 0. Berg Of Christine was in
Willmar on his way home from Min
neapolis. where he has been laid up
at the Swedish Hospital recuperating
from the injuries he received a couple
of months ago in that city when he
was run into by a motor cab.
Rev. Berg has indeed been thru
terrible ordeal and it is but Won
der that he pulled thru with his life.
At the time Of the accident he was
walking the sidewalk just west of
the Union depot. He was struck by
one Of the Yellow Cab line jitneys
at the alley crossing and was thrown
against the corner Of brick wall.
His skull was fractured and a deep
cut made in his head. Then the ma
chine backed up and he was run over
again, the wheel of the auto passing
over his chest breaking six ribs.
Rev. Berg is man of about sixty.
But for his splendid vitality he would
most likely never have survived. He
is yet feeling quite sore but it is hoped
he will not suffer any permanent dis.
abilities from the accident.
