HOW TO STORE
YOUR AUTOMOBILE
FOR THE WINTER
GREAT CARE SHOULD BE EXER-
CISED SO 1T WILL BE READY
FOR USE NEXT SEASON

Frequently there are motor car
owners who travel to another climate
during the cold months, or who, for
some reason or other, wish to store
their touring models until spring. For
such owners the following instruc-
tons which will be found perhaps
more thorough than any of the kind
ever before issued have been prepared
The statement set forth is the prime
object to have in mind the protection
against cold and dampness, two fac
tors which can do more injury to your
car than 10000 miles of driving. The
first and obvious thing to do is to look
over your garage and see If 1T is
weather proof. If it could be hermet-
ically sealed it would be ideal, but as
this is impractical, do the next best
thing, and see that all cracks and OPP
enings are closed up, doors fit proper
ly, and generally prepare it so that
your car will be snug and warm as
possible. Now as to the preparation
of the car itself.
Wash and thoroughly clean the car
and jack it up from under the frame,
Do this by placing four wooden trest-
les under the frame, the wooden points
of support being close up against the
two front shackle bolt brackets of the
front springs. Supporting the chassis
in this manner relieves all weight
from the springs and wheels. Remove
oil tires from the rims and complete
ly exhause air from the inner tubes
and rub them down well with soap
stone. sprinkle with French chalk,
fold them up perfectly fiat, care being
taken not to crease them, and place
in inner tube bags. The tires should
be laid down flat. Store both tires and
tubes in a dark place.
Clean and shellac all rims.
Drain off water from the radiator
and cylinder block. Flush out the ra.

the dog was young and quite fat, he
made fine eating. Capt. Writ found
the dog missing the next morning
He was very angry and issued orders
that no more rations should be issu-
ed to the prisoners until the man or
men who took the dog confessed.

Yankee government and reprisals

the men.
"No one ever told who ate the dog

of many a man who was an Ander-

While coming home from Palo the
other night, ]. M. Thomas, who by the
way is some weather shark, told us
that he had been observing the heav-
ems lately and that he had also been
reading considerably on the subject
of late and that at present there were
numerous small troublesome planets
gathered about the moon and that on
Wednesday today they would leave
their positions and that from then on
the weather would get warmer. The
fact that he told US that just as we
had a blow out on one of the rear
tires at 2:30 o'clock in the morning
and had to help Merit Eaves fix the
thing in the face of a ninety-mile gale
whose chillp, freezing blasts nearly
turned us into an icicle made 1t seem
pretty good news to hear. 1t made our
burdens lighter and ever since then
whenever we got cold we just prayed
and hoped that we could keep thawed
ont until Wednesday, when the prom
ised weather was scheduled according
to Thomas-not the doubter, but j..
M. Thomas. Well, Tuesday morning
we were coming up the street when we
saw Bill Wilder from over on the north
side and Bill told us that he had also
been watching the stars and other bod
les around the moon and that along
about this time they would scatter and
that it was a dead sure sign that the
weather would be just like the storm
that was beating then for the next
ninety DAYS or more Verify, these
weather prophets from the highest to
the lowest, from the sincere to the
intentional prevaricator, are source
of great annoyance to our peace Of
mind and we don't know which to be-
lieve--old man Thomas or Bill Wilder.

1t won't be long before the World
war "vets" and members of the
American Legion will be getting to-
gether to "reminisce." Whether or
not they will ever sit around the
corner grocery store and squirt to-
bacco Juice into a box full of saw
dust is doubtful.
AS to the tales which they will tell,
il is probable that they will Guido
all previous attempts at both truth
and prevarication, but there has
been one yarn extracted from a Civil
war veteran living just south of Lam
sing, which may make the recent
war heroes step some.
The party in question is Allen
l.. Barnes, who was a member of Co.
D., 9th Mich Infantry. His story
might well be entitled, "Who Ate
Writes Dog?" and the yarn was OBJ
tanned by Rev. Winfield Scott Sly of
Holt during a visit at the home Of
Mr.. Barnes. The latter's story which
clears up a long-standing mystery is
as follows:

was given such prisoners as were sent

could find, and had escaped, replac-
ing the board behind them. Capt.

Going Home?


Going home for Christmas,
son? Going back to mother? Go
ing to spend day with dad? If
there is a mother better sit down
right now and write her a letter.
Better say: "Save me big place
at the table, mother, for I'll be
home for Christmas!"
=, When you don't come, mother
and dad do not say much. They
5 try to excuse you and 70 make ex-
cuse for you. But, o, son, and
daughter, too, you don't know how
parents miss their children on
Christmas day-that dav Of all
days. You little know of the lump
that come in mothers throat, nor
of the te"~s that silently drop as
she reads re hasty note: 81 fear
/ cannot come" You may weigh
200 pounds in your gym trunks,
but you are still mothers "baby".
Next Christmas may be too late.
One of our busy prose poets puts
it this way: "Are you going
home for Christmas Have you
written you'll be there? Going
; home to kiss the mother and to
show her that you care? Going
home to greet the father in way
to make him glad? Just sit down
and write a letter-it will make
their heartstrings hum with a
perfect gladness if you'll tell
them that you'll come"
