 CAN EASILY
 BE SPOILED
overworking Will RuT Down Storage Battery
 In Short Time.

Many automobile drivers overwork the so-called 'self-etarter" by con- tinually and unnecessarily using it, sometimes for several minutes.
 They might as well shout in a loud voice "I don't know anything about an automobile, but I'm going to make this-engine start If have to run this starter hll day"
 Little do they realize that their battery Is but q storage compartment holding only six volts of electric cur rent, and that the effort necessary to drive the dynamo, which rotates the fly-wheel and crank shaft, operates the pistons for the suction of gas into the cylinders, and then congresses it, uses up just as much energy as If the engine was cranlSed by hand.
 It would be exhausting to a person cranking by hand, SC, also, is 1t ex- hausting to the storage battery. In consequence, the six volts of electric current stored in the battery, which alone operates the "starter," rapidly drops to three volts, or less, and this very often Is not enough to produce a spark, if ignition current is SUD- piled from the battery, to fire the gas charge and make the engine "go."
 
 in such a way-yet this foolish thing Is done every day by Ignorant auto- mobile drivers. Because of this nuis- ance the battery runs down." the plates buckle, and intending trouble delay and expense follow. One cannot get more out of a battery than is put into it-nor as much.
 A battery should never be used for ignition purposes. It is a great con- Venience, necessity, and comfort, whe- used only for driving the dynamo which turns the fly-wheel attached tC the crank-shaft and thus gives the engine its initial few starting turns and for the electric lights. and fO1 operating the signal horn; as these things are used only occasionally very little of the stored electrical energy is taken from the battery, and is re- stored when the engines take up theil ! work.
 It is always best to have the cal equipped with a magneto, which gen. crates it's own electric energy, O,O0( volts of it, and is used for ignition purposes only.
 A large proportion of the ter thousand volts are always there from the first half turn of the fly-whee to the highest speed the engine at. | tains. The timing of the spark is al ways correct as 1t Is controlled by the speed of the engine.

COWS BREATHING KEEPS WATCH ON
 TIME ' YEARS

Snakes are not climbing trees, and ,a.1ligators have cut out jig dancing in this dry-bone section. but here's evil dance of warm weather influence on the weather reporter of the Mason City Globe-Gazette:
 Seven years ago a farmer living west of this city hung his vest on a fence in the barnyard. A calf chew ed up a 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 respira tion-the closing in and the filling of the lungs-kept the stemwinder wound up. and the watch had lost but four minutes in the seven years.
