MOST SIZE TRUCKS
 GOOD ON THE FARM

Sales of motor trucks have broken all records this year in states west of the Mississippi, according to figures of large tire manufacturer. This is due primarily to the fact that the mo- tor truck is finding extensive use on the farm. A few years ago it was considered useful only in the city, where large trucks of great carrying capacity were able to take over the long, heavy hauls formerly made by horses.
 The smaller trucks have now be- come popular for country hauling and sales are increasing at rapid rate. At the same time Some of the larger trucks are finding use in the country where rural truck routes have been established and a group of farmers or trucking company handles the hauling for persons living along the route.
 The estimated production of motor trucks in 1919 for civilian use is 282,- 394, according to figures compiled by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Of this number 153,515 or 54.3 per cent will be trucks of 1-ton capacity or less, and 88,613, or 31 per cent will be those of from 11a to 2R ton capacity.
 Eighty-five and seven-tenths per cent of the production will be in the sizes which are adapted to farm re- quirements, and it is likely that many Of these trucks will find use on the farm, since farmers as a class are already the largest users of motor trucks.

OWNERS CAN HELP
 STOP AUTO THIEVING

Auto theft insurance mounts while the evil of car stealing remains un- abated. Everything should not be left to the police and insurance companies. Too many policy holders are inclined to become careless while they feel thefr own risk covered, which encour- ages car stealing and makes insurance premiums go higher. Every owner should have an effective lock and leave his car alone as little as possible. Vigilance on the part of owners will do more than all other agencies to- ward making the auto thief's calling unattractive.

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

The common method of locking spare tires is to use chain and pad. lock. The only trouble with the idea is the noise incident to the rattling of the chain and the fact that it mars the finish of the parts with which it comes in contact. Some car owners cover this chain with a bit of hose, but this is usually to stiff and is somewhat noisy and even permits marring of the finish. A bit of leather or heavy sub- stitute, the length of the chain and wide enough to form tube to enclose the chain, offers a satisfactory solu- tion of the problem. Turn in the edges of the leather case and if you can not do the job yourself, the near est harness maker will make the tube for you.
 Tire chains are practically always used in wet weather and care is neces- sary to keep them from getting rusty The chains should always be dried off before they are returned to the tool box after use. Especially should the chains be looked after. A little cup grease or vaseline will prevent rusting and eliminate the trouble of prying them open or using hammer to close them. There should always be carried in the tool kit a crosspiece tool and one or two extra cross chains. With this tool broken cross chains may be removed or replaced very easily.
 In cars that use thermo-syphon cooling, the water system should al ways be kept completely filled. If the water level drops considerably, the circulation of the water will be re- duced and may even be stopped alto gether. With a pump system the pump continues to force the water through the system, regardless of how much or how little of the liquid there may be, but the circulation of the syphonic system is simply a natural flow and this is interrupted in case a considerable portion of the outlet pipe is empty, resulting in overheating of the engine.
 A very handy weapon to make easy the examination of the inside of a casing when looking for punctures, fabric breaks or weak spots, is a wedge ihade of substantial stick of wood thfee-quarters of an inch thick and three to five inches long, depend ing on the size of the tire. This wedge may be slipped between the beads and pulled around the entire of the casing with one hand, leaving the other free to hold the tire.
 Brown shellac mixed with graphite makes an admirable cement for pipe joints and connections which are sub jected to heat and compression. The two ingredients should be mixed to a paste and smeared over the joint need ing treatment.
 Seat covers may usually be cleaned very satisfactorily with non-alkaline soap and warm water. The best way to carry out the job is to take the covers off and give them good scrub ping on the board.

TEN-TON BLOWS ARE
 HARD ON THE TIRES

When a car that is rolling along at a speed of/ twenty-five miles an hour strikes a stone or bad bump, the tire receives blow at the point of impact of nine or ten tons in force. Many drivers who would regard it as an insane proposition to strike one of their inflated tires blow with ten ton hammer, ride merrily along day after day in their cars, taking no pains whatever to avoid the bumps. Even the best tires give way in time under such treatment.

KNOW THIS; SAWDUST
 IS FIRE EXTINGUISHER

It is not generally known, but saw dust is a really effective agent for putting out fires such as are likely to occur in garage. The sawdust floats on top of the burning oil or gasoline and tends to exclude the air. By. soaking buckets of sawdust with bicarbonate of soda the effectiveness of the sawdust is increased. As an added precaution in addition to the regular equipment of fire extnguish- CTS, the Ssawdust is both cheap and good.

To secure clear view ahead thru the glass of the windshield in rainy weather is vitally important to the safety of the motor car and it's occu- pants. Many schemes are used ta keep the glass clear in wet weather
 but perhaps the old-fashioned alcohol and glycerin mixtures which is car ried in small bottle and rubbed on the glass as needed is best. If the bottle containing the solution is wrap ped in cloth and slowed in the side pocket it will always be ready for use and cloth to apply it will be at hand

0NE-TON TRUCKS ARE
 PRODUCTION LEADERS

There were 37,373 trucks manufac- tured in the United States in the sec ond quarter of 1919. Of this number the one-ton type predominate with a total of 1850. The other, figures fol low: 12 ton capacity, 4,568; 2-ton capacity, 4,739; 2ha ton capacity, l,4S4; 3-ton capacity, 1909; 3h-ton capacity, 2,257; 4-ton capacity, IA; 5-ton capacity, 3,166; A-ton capacity, 3,619; A ton capacity, GAIT; over th, 5-ton capacity, 587; capacity not given, 1,121; fire apparatus, 122; buses, ann balances, hearses, S9; government trucks, 601.

WEAR MAKES SPRING
 CLIPS WEAR LOOSE

After a car has been in service for some time there is tendency of the spring leaves to fit somewhat tighter together, owing to the smooth sur faces that have been produced. This makes the spring little more com pact by few thousandths of an inch, but this is enough to loosen the springs clips. These latter parts should therefore be drawn tight after thousand miles or so of travel in the new car.
The Coconino sun., 1919-10-31

The car owner should keep in mind that one of the most prolific causes of engine overheating is driving on a retarded spark. The cause is obvious, the explosion taking place when a maximum of the cylinder wall is un- covered instead of the minimum, as is the case when ignition takes place at upper dead center, the piston being at the top of its stroke.
The Coconino sun., 1919-10-31

Chronic squeaking in the braking system is generally due to dirt that has been imbedded in the lining and is pressed against the drum when the brakes are operated. Usually this dilt may be washed out with kerosene, but if it is so firmly intrenched that it refuses to come out with this treat ment a little rosin mixed with castor oil and applied to the bands will cure the trouble.
The Coconino sun., 1919-10-31
USE WASHING SODA
 ON BATTERY TERMINALS

The best medium for use in cleaning terminals that have become corroded is a strong solution of washing soda. After the parts have been cleaned and are dry they should be given a light coating of vaseline to prevent return of the trouble.
The Coconino sun., 1919-10-31
CLUTCH TROUBLE

Clutch trouble is one of the com monest complaints among car owners. The clutch throwout collar needs daily fabrication, and in many cars failure to give this, even for single day, may mean clutch trouble. Give the clutch the fabrication it needs.

MAJOR PLAYERS
TO BE IN ARMS
AGAINST PROFIT

Persons acquainted Intimately with
ballplayers are predicting that the
chickens Matched during the recent
eight game world series will come
home to roost before the winter Is
over. In other words. magnates will
hear a lot about that three-quarter OF
a million world series when II comes
time to talk terms with the players.
That half-million dollar world series
OF 1912 gave birth to the Federal
League. At least. that series started
the idea Of a third major league. and
the gate receipts OF that eisht-game
clash between the Giants and the Red
Sox was the stock argument of Jim
Gilmore when he was inducing men
like Robert Ward. Charles weeshman
and Sinclair to invest fortunes in his
rainbow circuit.
The fate Of the Federal League prob
ably will deter any one who has am
billions toward starting q third major
league for some time. but there is no
telling what will happen in baseball
One thing is certain. namely, that the
players intend to get in on the pros
perity wave that hit the game last
season.
One already hears such remarks as
We'll. they'll have to come across
next winter. We were working TOR
wartime salaries and they took in
more money than ever before"

the Central Labor Union. held last
night at Musicians Hall. The res

hacker more privileges.
Hart Jackson, OF the aPtnters
Union, spoke on the steel strike and
expressed an optimistic view of the
situation. Carl Brennan. of the

Huntington Valley Hunt Club race

not near enough to the finish wire
to hear the chukle of delight OF each

the end of the run and helped himself
to the dangling purse suspended in a

they heard the pater of hoofs over the
