Farm Defined.
A farm for purposes of census in
cludes all the land cultivated by a
single farmer either by his own labor
alone or with the help of hired labor.
1t may be in two or more separate
tracts, but it is all one farm If it is
all under one management.
The land cultivated by share hand
or cropper, or by cash renter, con-
stitutes a separate farm and is not to
be counted as the owners farm or in

BLOCKADE WILL NOT BE RAISED
UNTIL AFTER RATiFi-
CATION.
U. S. BEHIND FRANCE
FINAL PROVISIONS MADE FOR
ENFORCING OBSERVANCE
OF TERMS.

Paris, June 30.-Conditioning the
raising of the blockade upon Ger
many's ratification of the treaty Is
regarded in conference circles as a
sure plan for securing speedy ratifi-
cation because of Germany's food and
raw material needs. AS Russia was
practically blockaded as result OF
the blockade against the central pow
ers, the opinion is held that when the
blockade of them ceases there will lie
no blockade against Russia.
Paris.-The official notification to
Germany that the blockade will not
be raised until the treaty is ratified
by Germany was in the form of
resolution adopted by the council OF
four and presented to the German del
egution before its departure for Ber-
lin. The resolution follows:
1.-THE superior blockade council IL
instructed to base its arrangements
for resembling restriction upon trade
with Germany on the assumption that
the allied and associated powers will
not wait to raise the blockade until
the completion of ratification, as pro-
yided for at the end of the treaty with
Germany, but that it is to be raised
Immediately upon receipt of infOrma-
tion that the treaty of peace has been
ratified by Germany"
The Franco-American convention
has been signed on behalf of the two
governments, according to the news
i ic ssaih thOt tho RnUnnO N
includes several articles and specifies
that violations of the peace treaty by
Germany will give France the right
to request American and British as
| sistance.
One paper says the coincidence in
| the signing of the convention and the
peace treaty the same day is part Of
| the spirit of union among the assOci-
ated powers to see that the treaty is
carried out.
The peace treaty was taken from
the protocol office. Marshal JOffre
was unable to attend the ceremony.
and Marshal Foch and Marshal Petain
also were unable to be present.
A note will be sent the Turkish
delegation by the council of four ad-
vising the members to return to Con-
stantinople.
The message will say there is no
reason to believe IN agreement can
be reached in the near future, be-
cause of the great difference between
the demands of the Turks and the
concessions the allies are willing to
grant.
The council of four have reached an
agreement on the economic terms to
be imposed on Austria.

Be Careful in Using
Spark Control Plug

Many motorists have habit of
driving with the spark control lever
at full advance. A little thought and
understanding OF what happens in
such an event would be beneficial both
for the welfare of the car and the
driver
Full advance OF the spark means
the gas in the cylinder Is fired before
the piston has reached the center on
its upward stroke and therefore has
only a retarding effect which lessons
the power. also it is a sheer waste OF
gasoline. This power explosion oc-
curing many hundreds Of timeska
minute puts great strain and wear
upon the crank-shaft bearings and
connecting rod and is the direct cause
of the breaking of these parts.
1t is well known that the battery
ignition requiINs much more advance
to give maximum power from the en-
gine at full speed. and that it also
requires continuous manipulation OF
the spark control lever. in order to
time the spark correctly according to
the speed Of the engine. How many
of the average automobile drivers do
actually properly control the spark
timing while driving? Without a
doubt, the greatest number of them
drive continually with the spark ad-
vanced too far. simply because they
do not want to bother with the spark
lever; they want a quick pick up"

MENT.

My engine runs as though there Is a
knock in 1t. but have had the crank
case cover or and the repair men tefl
me the rod bearings are o. K. The
pistons and cylinders are all right and
there is no carbon. The knock Is only
present at certain times, which leads
me to think that the crankshaft rear
bearing Is worn on the ends and also
slightly on the surfaces. Is 1t all
right to run with such a bearing and
wait until colder weather to do q
complete overhaul?
It is all right to run for q few hun
dred miles. The trouble IL. that as
the bearing wears it throws the clutch
out of alignment more and more and
also affects the timing gears. the con-
meeting rods, etc 1t should be attend
ed to as soon as possible.
My engine smokes badly and know
that the rings are about ready for re-
placement. The cylinders are all right,
but ] hate to tear down now in the
best time of the touring season. Would
heavy oil tend to stop the smoking and
is there any chance Of damaging the
cylinders?
Heavy oil will reduce slappins and
also has a tendency to reduce the
smoking because less of the oil gets
TO the combustion chamber. The
cylinders will not be damaged.
I have heard that If q small piece
of bent pipe is used to screw the spark
plug into that much plug trouble can
be stopped In my Ford. what's in the
idea?
The smaH piece OF pipe Is an exten-
sion which is supposed to prevent oil
from getting on the plug. 1t works
well in the engines I have seen.

PEER OF ALL In WAR

1T has been said that the American
ambulance and truck transport drivers
were the most efficient Of any of the
armies that took an active part IN
the war" says w. L. Kissel. secretary
and treasurer of the Kissel Motor Car
Company.
Quick thinking, quick acting and q
cool head at all times were the nat
ural results of owning and driving
either an automobile or motor truck.
The American people use more auto
motiye units in both their industrial
and isocial activities than any other
nation on earth. America has become
motorized. There is one automobile
for every eighteen persons in the
United States
The nearest any other country
comes to this is that of Great Britain

Car Shortage Means

upon the sales Of motor trucks. In

Increased 81 per cent over those for
July, and the sales for September con-
tinue at the same high rate.
The large proportion OF sales OF
heavy duty trucks indicates that the
buyers purchased trucks to enable
them to haul large quantities of ma
terial that they evidently feel they
cannot count on the railroads to han

Short Circuihnx Plug.

The short circuiting of a spark
plug that causes misfires is seldom
at the spark gap. Oily surfaces of
the porcelain collect and retain
metallic wear products which invite
the current to avoid the gap and
prevent the spark jump that is need
ed to get ignition The quality of
spark plug makes no difference. The
surfaces must be cleaned to restore
proper action.

HOUSE HEARS NEED
OF REDUCING ALL
APPROPRIATIONS
Representatives Fear AnOth-
err Loan Will Be Neces-
sary to Pay Debts.

Washington, May 81 Necessity for
sharply reducing appropriations for
government expenditures We're urged
upon the house today by Representa-
lives Fess, Ohio, and Moore, Pennsyl-
vanian, republicans. Each declared
that unless radical retrenchments
were made. the government would
have to go to the people for another
large loan.
Mr. Moore criticised the policy of
the house appropriation committees
in reporting out appropriation bills
which failed in the session, without
conducting careful hearings to de-
termine whether reductions could be
made.
UNLESS our committees begin to
go into details with regard to these
appropriations Mr. Moore said. 1--WE
are going to run up against trouble
Gus times in the republican party, as
the democrats ran up against troubl-
Gus times up to the moment they let
go their power"
Repeal of sections OF the war rev.
enue bill. levying taxes on semi-lux-
uries might be advisable, Mr.. Moore
said, but such action would place the
country in a serious financial predica-
ment unless appropriations for vari-
Gus governmentc~activti were cut
down.
Big Deficit Threatens.
1--WE passed a revenue bill that was
presumed to provide $6,000,000,O0O for
the next fiscal year" he stated. "but
that bill was so manipulated that 1t
finally provided for only $4,000, 900 900.
Expenses next year will run up to
over $1,000, 100000 Members of the
ways and means committee say, and
members of the appropriations COM
mittee declare that according to the
estimates already in. our appropria-
tions next year will amount to be-
tween $4,000, 100000 and $4,000 ,OOO,-
600.
"Tbat will leave a deficit of $1,000
100000" ;,
Mr.. Fess said the deficit the coun-
try would probably have to face at
the end of the next fiscal year would
amount to nearly ST .000000.O00.
"a large part of the money obtained
from the Victory loan. was spent be-
fore 1t was received" the Ohio rep
resentative said.
