Califosniisa, i The Melon CITY.

Turlock,, California, The Melon City. z
Owing to the fact that we have been
away on another long trip, this time to
British Columbia, from which we have
just recently returned home, there has
been an interruption in the write up OF
our trip oSthe Pacific coast. IN as
much as the rest OF the trip was fully
as interesting to us as the part already
described we will resume the account
of our travels In sunny Calf fornia.'
I. We left San Francisco at s o'clock on
Monday morning, Aug. ii, 1919, on the
Southern Pacific with Turlock, Calf,
as our next stopping place. We were
anxious to- visit Turlock for at least
two reasons, one off which was that It
would give us an oppor tunity Ito see
many former Marshall county people
and good old friends of ours, who there
have established their homes. The
other reason was that the fame 81 Tur-
locksas the melon city, had reached
our ears and we wanted to satisfy our.
craving for this delicious product of
thegsoil.
Turlock IS located 126 miles southeast
from San Francisco, in the Great Cen
trail Valley between the Sierra Nevada
Mountains and the several Coast
Ranges. the south hern part of the valley

For the benefit of hundreds of thou sands of new car owners which this season of the year produces, let us say again: Oil is the greatest enemy of India rubber. Mineral oils are not as bad as animal oils or fats, but keep the tires away from all of them. Don't let pools of oil gather on the garage floor, and anyway keep the tires out of oil if you do allow it to gather.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS
QUALITY TO EXCLUDING STAR OF THE CAR MAKERS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26.-- quality, rather than cheapness, will be the guiding star of automobile manu. lecturers in the future. The devel. opment of the industry in the next few years, at least, is expected to be distinctly in the direction of higher quality, according to government au. thorities.
 They point out that with the. de. mand for automobiles far exceeding the capacity of the plants there is nJ need of producing a cheaper quality in order to stimulate sales. An au- thority on the subject said:
 With market never before equal ed the sales and engineering depart ments will insist on the factory turn ing out the best car it is possible to design with respect to performance and longevity. Prices will be fixed to meet competition. The rising price of cars today is largely due to this tegd- ency. Many concerns are bringing out higher class cars than they ever mar keted before.
 Assembled cars are automatically forced into the high-priced class be- cause parts makers will build only high quality units. This is clear when it is considered that it is utterly inn possible to sell car at $1 900 or less unless it is produced in very large numbers. Quality production must be backed up by fundamental control of the sources of material supply. In fact, the tendency in the largest plants is to get further and further back to the core in securing materials. Thus the product of the parts makers in the future will be found in the car selling at $1 800 and upward.
 "This does not necessarily signify that in lower priced cars quality will be sacrificed. Tbe difference in price will be made up'in riding comfort as provided by increased space, more lux urious upholstering and fittings, greater speed, in range and accesti- bility and possibly in greater econ omy. It is possible, to build high priced car with the finest materials designed on an economy basis. This would be an exception, however, as the difference in value would probably be put into the first mentioned qualities.
 From these considerations it is ap- parent that there are two real mar kets-one in which low price is the dominant thought of the purchaser, and the other that in which the great est, comfort and luxury is desired. The thought of luxury is desired. The thought of luxury need not and should not be distasteful to us any longer, now that we have peace. Civilization consists largely in making necessities of luxuries. America is leader in this movement"

A TIMELY TALE

Seven years ago a farmer living west of Charles City, la, hung his vest on fence in the barnyard. A hungry calf chewed up pocket of the garment in which was a standard gold watch. :.
 Last week the animal, staid old milch COW, was butchered for beef and the timepiece was found in such a position between the lungs of the COW that. the respiration - the closing in andThe filling of the lungs-kept the stemwinder wound up and the watch had lost but four minutes in the seven years.-Mason City (la.)

FARMERS GREATEST
 TRUCK USERS IN U. s

The biggest users of motor trucks in the world. are the American farm CTS, with 79,7S9 motor trucks in op- eration.
 Manufacturers come second with 75.928, and retailers third with 74,486.
 These figures are taken from reli- able statistics for the year 1917. Estimates for 1918 show a tremen- dous increase in the number of motor trucks in use; but with the farmer still in the lead.
 It is estimated that during 1918 ap- proximately 350,000,000 tons of, farm products were hauled to market in motor trucks by the farmers and gar. deners of the United States.

} TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR !! l****+++********l | <

"There would be less visits to repair shops if motorists would only take reasonable care of their cars" said J. w. Francis, of the Northern Ari. zona Motor O., Stakeholder agent.
 Here is one way that car can be made to last longer, and many motorists do not realize the para mount importance of the operation: Drain the oil from the crankcase every 2,0OO miles, clean the case out with kerosene and then fill it up again ' with fresh oil. By following this rule the motorist will save many dol lar in repairs sand prolong the life of the motor.
 ''The importance of following this advice is not appreciated by many, bpt an examination of the oil taken from a case that has been run a season without cleaning will quickly convince the owner of the necessity of this service.
 "A great many owners are under the impression that a cars lubrica- tion is properly looked after so long as they pour in from time to time sufficient oil to maintain the proper level in the crankcase. This is im- portant, but the oil must be free from sediment and grit and the only way this can be accomplished is by chang ing the oil and cleaning the case reg ularly.
 Automobile engine oils are com pounded from oils which have range of boiling points from low to high. Each time the oil is circulated through the motor a certain percentage of it is lost through evaporation caused by the heat. That part of the oil lost is that with the lowest boiling point. That part of the oil with the next highest boiling point, which is not lost through heat, is scorched and it's lu- bricating value consequently reduced. The percentage of this scorched and blackened oil in the crankcase in- creases as the original supply con- tinpes to be used.
 "fn addition to this worn and car- bonized oil, 8 considerable percentage of kerosene and other heavy portions of the. fuel leak past the pistons and mix the lubricants. After this dilu- tion passes a certain percentage, cyl finders, pistons and rings wear rapid ly. Understanding these things, mo- torists should see the importance of changing the oil as first suggested and cleaning the orankcase."

ILLINOIS TO HAVE LONG
 STRETCH OF GOOD ROADS

With the tidy sum of s29,000, ,00C in prospect for road building work in Illinois in the next two years, the work of constructing a statewide highway system is getting under way at last in earnest.
 From Frank l. Bennett, state direc- tor of public works, comes the definite assurance that 654 miles of trunk line" roads comprised in the group to be built with federal aid will be under contract before the end of this month. Already more than hundred miles of construction work on the Lincoln and Dixie highways is in the hands of contractors.

HISTORIC GUN IS
 GIVEN OVER TO SOCIETY

A shotgun used in the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 and the Battle of New Orleans in 1915, has been pre- sented to the State Historical Society at Columbia by P. J, Hainey, of Bar nard, Mo. It is an old model muzzle loader, 59 inches long, with 2 43-incl, barrel. It has the same lock, stock and barrel used at Bunker Hill, and though much worn can still shoot. On the stock is attached a kallow and patch box which was used to grease the balls when loaded in the gun.

When foreign matter of some kind finds it's way into the fuel pipe be- tween the two sections of the, vacuum system, the result is that the vacuum tank is empty in spite of the fact that there is plenty of fuel in the main tank. When this happens, fill the float chamber of the carburetor with gasoline, which can be drawn from the main tank, and then start the engine. The resulting suction will draw out the obstruction and permit the system to function again. This same trouble ,is sometimes caused by the obstruction of the small airhole in the filler car of the main fuel tank, which must be kept open to induce atmospheric pressure on the gasoline.

Clutch spinning is often due to ex-' cessive friction in the spring thrust bearing, though sometimes faulty alignment of the fly wheel and clutch cone prevent the engaging surfaces from entirely clearing each other. A bent clutch shaft might also cause this trouble.

The continued action of the impel Ter of centrifugal water pump or of the gears of gear pump frequently causes wear in the pump. In case a considerable space develops between the impeller and the pump casing the power of the pump is largely reduced. The only remedy for this condition is to install new parts in place of the worn ones.
