 GOOD ROADS SOON
 WILL BE ISOLATED

"A community without good roads Is an isolated community. becoming more isolated as the railroads are asked to haul more and more supplies and materials for the government, as well as for the manufacturers doing government work" says G. Fl. Reuben of the Kssel Auto company. Com munities should realize this now and put their roads in order before nex: fall and winter.
 There is a motor truck transporta- ton company in the south that is in stalling motor truck lines between cities and communities. Before each line or route is put into operation. the officials of the company go to the community which they have in mind icing up with other communities and point out to local shippers the advan- tages and saving which motor truck transportation will enable them to make.
 After they have rold' the idea. after the shippers and merchants of this community decide they need motor truck transportation, and after they have guaranteed necessary amount of business sufficient to warrant the motor truck transportation company operating there, the transportation company turns around and says, in effect: The roads between here and the town nearest to where our trucks are at present operating are poor roads. They are too bad for us to operate over profitably. They would make our transportation rates to you pro- hibitive. Before we can give you the kind of service you need, it is up to this community to make these Door roads good roads, This company is finding that in practically every in- stance where they make this propo- sition the people of that community see to it that the roads are put in good shape, so that the transportation company can operate over them.
 Truck owners know that good roads not only save them money. but the shipper and public as well. because they can make faster time and at a saving in operating expense. This was recently proven in test between two trucks of the same capacity. same make and same load. One truck was gun between two communities on good roads and the other truck operated be- tween two communities on poor roads lt was found that the truck operating on good roads was able to deliver its load at near one-third per cent les!

NEEDS MORE ROOM SAUFLEY RUBBER
 COMPANY ID MOVE

The Saufley Rubber company will move its sales room and office to the corner of First and Monroe streets, where the entire business will be es- tablished under one roof. The building has been recently remodeled and the shop equipped with the latest and most complete machinery for retreading and tire repairino.
 A large display room for tires and an office have been specially constructed. The concentration of the business at one location will enable the company to render to it's customers the max mum of service.
 In connection with the threading process useS-sn his shop, Bob Saufley stated:
 Our method means the entire re- building of a tire. All we need is a good fabric. If there are any weak spots in the fabric they are reinforced. If section is necessary. a section is put in. If the tire was low grade tire we will put in strong re-liner which strengthens the side walls and fabric to a degree greater than ever before. All the old rubber is stripped from the fabric. A new rubber cushion, a new breaker strip and another cushion is put on. Then comes the thick layer of pure raw rubber. The tire is then placed in the Dri Kure Mold where it is subjected to an exact pressure and exact heat, for an exact length of time. The cure is essentially uniform and the new rubber casing will last longer than the rubber on many new tires. The whole tire is then given a rigid test and passed for the last inspection. 1 When you get it you will have as good tire as you had when you first put it on your car"
 HOT WEATHER

 While there is no question that the warm weather has affected the sale of used cars. it is surprising how buy CTS will come out and inspect bargains in spite of the heat" said w. H. Grant of the Phoenix Auto Clearance House. People are realizing that every month brings about a change in the automobile situation and the car that is selling for 5000 today, may be sell | ing for s100 more tomorrow. Aside | from the use and pleasure derived from car. they are beginning to have a speculative value. which no doubt is influencing many buyers" continued | Grant.

l have some bad trouble with my motor or clutch. The whole car jerks badly running slow and every time 1 let the clutch in there is knock that sounds like the clutch hits against something just as 1 let it in. The trouble is in the clutch or the motor. 1 can't describe it any better and hope you can help me.-B. L. Dixon.
 If you can possibly get hold of the flywheel grasp it firmly with both hands and pull and push to detect end play in the crankshaft Such play would give exactly the symptoms you name. The trouble might also be in the clutch itself. Please mention the make and model of car and I may be able to give you some more informa- ton.

 The only thing I can think of that might cauce it, is a worn armature bearing. The bearing itself would not make so much noise as the armature striking the field poles. Don't attempt to repair it yourself. You may need a new armature.

 The trouble may be caused by: A worn plunger, which holds the shifter shafts of the transmission in place the spring back of the plunger may lack pressure; the shafts in tht transmission may be out of align ment, or the gears may not mesh fully.

cHmericdS First Car

Wartime cars in all essentials are the Haynes. Their pur- chase is patriotic
 Mechanics are scarce today. The Government needs them. Motorists should rely more upon the selves. With a Haynes this imposes no hard ship. First, the Haynes me- chanism is famously simple. A quarter-century's experience makes 1t so. Its care is easy. Second, the Haynes mechan- ism is free from experiments. Each part is time-tried. For example: the Haynes "Light Six" engine is practically ident- ical with more than 10000 in use. Almost 4 years of owner driving prove its maturity.

Gasoline should not be wasted. Each gallon must give its ut most. Many miles per gallon is tra- ditional of the Haynes.
 Were this not so the Haynes "Light Six" engines could not have survived qaarfer billion miles without basic change in design.
 A further cardinal virtue, in these economy times, is that Haynes cars are noted for being "very easy on tires" Thus the eleven latest big, oad-hooded, straight lined Haynes are commended as purchases in accord with war times.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
Iected is because kidney trouble is so com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing

Mr.. Bowser was up long before the
sun next morning and getting a milk
man to help him raise the longest lad
der he mounted to the roof and made
closer inspection. While he was do
ing this painter brought sign about
ten feet long and hung it on the fence.
1t read: "The Bowser Villa"
During breakfast Mrs. Bowser was
very quiet and Mr.. Bowser was in
too much of a hurry to do any talk
ing. AS soon as he had finished he
began carrying his material to the root
and in little while he was ready to
begin his hard work. The cap, or top
of the chimney for foot downward,
was painted dark blue. Then fol-
lowed a strip of red and strip of
green came next to it. Then there
was more dark blue down to the shin
giles. Mr.. Bowser came down the lad
der and surveyed the house from the
sidewalk. His art work was just boss !;
no landscape painter could have
equaled it. The sign on the fence was
simply magnificent. The half dozen
people who passed and repassed Mr..
Bowser didn't utter word of praise.
In fact, some Of them staggered with
contempt. This was scarcely noticed
by the great painter, and he went back
to his work highly elated. The stripes
on the opposite chimney We're reversed.
Instead of beginning with dark blue he
began with red. Just as he had fin
ished and was about to take another
survey man came along and pro.

be committee formed to give the
idiot notice that we can't put up with
such thing on this street. 1t will re-
duce the price of real estate 25 per
cent"
Mr.. Bowser went up the ladder and
began on the third chimney, but his
heart was not in his work. After the
four stones, thrown by unseen hands,
had landed on the roof near him, he
carried his material down to the
ground and entered the house, and,
without word to Mrs. Bowser, who
sat weeping, he changed into his bust
ness suit and left the house. An hour
later three painters were at work wip-
ing the first paint off the chimneys and
repainting them the original color.
Two boys took away the sign hanging
on the fence and nailed 1t over stable
door, and the incident was closed-all
but the damage to Mr.. Bowser's feel
ings. He had set out to beautify the
street, and the people wouldn't have
it. He wanted a villa, but the public
wouldn't stand for it. He wanted to
do some art work that should live after
him, and he had been abused as If he
had stolen a whole flock Of sheep.

probably tell you all about it this eve
ming. He made US promise to have
everything over here before four
o'clock and everything is here. He
can get up at four o'clock in the morn
ing and go right at work"
If Mrs. Bowser had not had a sweet
temper she would have spent the rest
of the afternoon in kicking over
chairs and discharging the cook, Mr..
Bowser hadn't said word about re-
painting the house. He had preserved
the strictest secrecy about the enter
prise. The house did not need re-
painting and the idea of having him
daubing around for week or two was
unbearable. She made no outright
demonstrations, however, but that eve
ming would bring the talk.
Mr.. Bowser came home at the usual
time and took a look into the side
yard before entering the house. He
realized that Mrs. Bowser had seen
the outfit and must suspect his evil
design, but he entered the house with
q flourish and did a lot of talking in
the next five minutes. In fact, he did
all the talking during the dinner and
a great deal more than was neces-
sary He was putting the explana-
ton off as long as possible, but it had
to come when they reached the fam
lily room.
"Now, then" said Mrs. Bowser, as
she Strengthened up and set her jaw,
'.why did you have those men bring
all the things this afternoon?"
"Why, my DEAR" said Mr.. Bowser,
in an oily voice, 81 am going to do
a little painting. Didn't speak about
it a week or so ago? This is glorious
weather for outside painting and /
am anxious to be at the work"
'Mr. Bowser, this house does not
need any paint on it," firmly replied
Mrs. Bowser.
"You may not think SO, but thou

most ashamed to turn at the gate
and look at it. Besides, / have an
other object in view. How long have
we lived in this houseT
"About fifteen years." was the reply.

ever since. The house is red brick
and the woodwork painted white.
That's the way most of the houses
on the block are. There is dread

my dear. You won't know the place

know what villa is, don't you?
Well, there is not villa within half
mile of US. am going to make one

"Are you going to get bunch of
carpenters up here to tear this house
all to pieces?" was demanded.
"Oh, no, no. There will be no car
penters and there will be no other
painters beside myself. I shall make
villa of it by the way I paint it
and thousands Of people will stop to
