Cleanliness is next to godliness,"
but as applied to the automobile,
cleanliness comes first and is all-im-

operate better, wear longer and give
less trouble if it is kept clean and
free from grit. Careful cleaning also
involves inspection, for the two go
hand in hand. When you clean the
dirt out of corners with kerosene and
a brush you may discover that an oil

In regions where potato production

relatively short. Two-ton trucks are
popular for this purpose, and 100
bushels, or 5000 pounds, are common
ly taken at a trip. One business
like potato grower whose farm is four
miles from railroad states that he av-
erages five trips day, hauling loo
bushels to trip; that he uses the

Fruit Growers Favor Trucks.
Fruit growers are another class
among whom autotrucks are becoming
common. The big fruit farm, hauling
its own fruit to the railroad, uses
horses in the fall out of all proportion
to farm needs at other seasons.
Numerous large fruit farms formerly
made no attempt to keep draft horses
in the numbers required for fall haul
ing and instead let this work out
on contract, at so much box or bar
rel. The autotruck interests this
class during the long, idle periods it
consumes no oats. The autotruck is
also proving valuable to growers of
perishable fruits, permitting them to
ignore the express route and find g
market in hurry when required.

PAT DUNCAN WILL BE 26 YEARS OLD
 ON NEXT BIRTHDAY

Lewis B. talias PaD Duncan, Cincin- natis outfielder. was born at Coalton, O., October 6. 1898, and hence will be 26 years old a week from next Tuesday Patricia" made his debut in profes- sional baseball with the Flint, Mich. team in 1912, and played in the Central league until 1915, when Pittsburg bought him from Grand Rapids On February 6, 1917. the Pirates released him to iBr- mingham. but during the early season he broke his leg sliding into base and was out of the game for most of the season.
 Last year Duncan played great ball here, but never came into his own until this season, when he was rated as the best right-handed batter in the Southern league. Scout eGne McCann of the Reds saw Duncan work at Redwood and immediately decided he was the man that Moran needed to beat the Sox in the worlds series. so the Baron outfielder was bought six weeks ago. He brought more money than any southern player sold to the majors this year, but he has already demonstrated his value and Cincy fans are counting on him to play an important part in the 'croocial ser ious' beginning Wednesday.

Comparison of 1917 and
 1919 White SOx Teams

Chicago, September 25.-When Kid" Gleason succeeded Clarence Rowland as manager of the Chicago Americans and started the 1919 season with the same lineup that finished sixth in the 1918 pen nant race, after winning the worlds championship in 1917, few baseball ex- perts figured that the White Sox would win the American league flag this sea- son.
 But that is what has happened and the ''wise ones'' are offering all sorts Of reasons for the startling reversal of form. They say that playing under a new lead CT was contributing factor, but all agree that perhaps the main one was that the players themselves entered the game this season with a renewed con- fdence following the termination of the world war. Last season majority of the White Sox were expecting to be called into military service any day, and this with the classification of baseball as .nonessential' was disturbing sit fuation. E The 1918 White Sox was team grind ting over the pennant road minus some of it's main cogs. Joe Jackson, the clubs leading batter this season, went into the shipyards after batting ;354 for seven games; Oscar Happy Felsch quit the club after playing in 53 games; Pitcher Faber enlisted in the navy after winning five of six games, while Pitcher Claude Williams went to work in the shipyards when he had won six and lost four games. The loss of these four players proved a staggering blow.
 Added to this loss, Eddie Cicotte, the veteran right handed and leading pitcher in 1917, was in slump during the en- tire season, winning only F games and losing 19. But 1t was different Cicotte this season. His remarkable comeback has been soue of the sensations of the year and his effective pitching is one of the chief reasons why the White Sox finished out in front.
