Theory is Wrong.

n is surprising how few drivers

20 d. 4. Boswell OF the Superior
Motor Sales Co. Hudson. Essex and
allen dealers. There is scarcely one
iriver OF an automobile In a hun
sired that really knows what makes
his car run. Practically all Of them
when questioned will say that the
motor IS operated by explosions in
he cylinders Of their car
1T is strange that such a com
mon misunderstanding could be so
-or from the real condition. In real
ty there is nothing resembling an
explosion, but instead. a burning Of
gasoline vapor. Gas vapor upon be-
Ing heated expands many times its
own volume. Thus every engine is
-cally a heat engine and derives its
power from converting the fuel
,ap0r into heat When the gas is
quickly burned a tremendous force
exerted which results in the i'm

The reason for advancing the
spark IS 10 hasten the ignition OF
tho gas vapor in the cylinders. If
he gas exploded and burned instan-
taneously this could not be done. for
he motor would knock or run back
ward. But compared 10 the opera
ion OF the motor, the burning is
slow and must be started before the
piston reaches the top OF its up
ward stroke. Thus by the time the
piston begins its downward journey

Keep Plenty of Stationery, Stamps and
 Postal Cards on Hand

No farmer who considers him. self halfway up to date ought to depend on buying a stamp or two at the time. or an occasional postal card just when he wishes 10 use one. Many farmer wastes D cents of time buying a , cent stamp.
 Now that postal cards have gotten back to the standard per. manent price Of one cent, and postage stamps to the old price of two cents, every farmer ought to make it rule to buy hun drCd stamps and a hundred pos tai cards at a time and keep a supply always on hand. It is also foolish to buy one or two pencils at a time instead ot buy irg by the dozen.
 Printed stationery offers so many advantages that it's use ought to be the rule rather than the exception.
 For few dollars, too, your To. cal printer will also print thou sand letter heads and envelopes for you with your name, address farm name, and everything you wish to add about your farm and it's specialities.
 The man who wishes to adopt progressive business habits must make it easy to do these things. Even the smaller farmer should buy fifty or a hundred postal cards and fifty or a hun dred stamps at time, together with an appropriate quantity of stationery; while no farmer who buys or sells by mail should think of doing business without printed stationery and envelopes. The folly of buying one or two stamps at a time. one postal card at time, one pencil or pen at a time, should be self-evident. The time wasted amounts from two to ten times as much as the article costs.

The Ball Of Yarn

Betty Jones's father was . veal.
thy merchant. and Betty got near.
ly everything she wanted. She
lived in a very beautiful house.
Farther on down the street lived
another little girl whose name was
Frances Brown. Betty and Fran
els went to the same school and
knew each other very well.
When Betty's birthday was very
near she asked If she could have a
party. OF course she had her
wish.
Now Frances had a very pretty
ring and locket which Betty ad-
mired very much. But Betty's
father and mother had already
given her their presents. Her
grandmother had not given her any
thing yet. but she said if Betty
would knit one ball Of yarn into a
square before her birthday. she
would give her something very
nice. Betty did not like to knit
very well. she liked better to play.
On the day before her birthday
she had only part of it done. early
in the morning before anyone was
up. she crept down stairs and got
out her knitting. She worked so
fast her fingers fairly flew. She
regretted over and over that she
had not worked harder.
Just as she made the last stitch
little white box fell to the floor.
She opened it. finding card on
which was written. ITO the little
girl who finishes her work" She
lifted the card and there was a
beautiful ring and locket.
She went to thank her grand
mother, for it was her gift.
When the girls came to the party
she told them all about 1t. She
resolved that in the future she
would always finish what she
started.

"Oh. Daddy, won't you make
Betty and me a lawn swing?"
begged Rachel Picket one summer
day.
IF I can" answered her father.
ooh. l know you can," cried Ra-
chel delightedly, and FASTENED
away to tell her baby sister
The next day Mr.. Picket began,
the swing and about three days
later it was finished. Now. Ra-
chel was only six years of age and
Betty was three.
The swing was rather small SO
as to fit the two little girls. 1t was
painted bright red and looked
very pretty against the green Of
the grass when Mr.. Picket brought
it out and set 1t in the yard.
"Oh. isn't it fine?" cried Rachel,
as she and Betty got in and began
to swing.
"Ess." answered Betty. laughing
and showing her pretty dimples.
The father was pleased at their
delight. but he was also plainly
worried about something.
III 1t doesn't rain pretty soon,"
he said, I'm afraid the crops will
be ruined"
There had been no rain for a
long time. consequently the gar
dens were not doing very well.
Are you going to leave our
swing out all night?" Rachel asked
her father.
Eyes. l don't think it will hurt
any" he replied absent-mindedly.
So 1t was left out. About mid
night it began to rain and oh. how
it poured. OF course. the crops re.
vived and Mr.. Picket looked much
brighter in the morning.
We'll. Rachel" he said laughing
ly. II believe it was your red swing
that drew the rain. I only wish
had made it sooner."-Myrtle De
