New Ajax Factories Are
Located at Jackson, Mich

Horace DeLisser, president OF
Ajax Rubber company, Inc, has just
announced the purchase by the Ajax
Rubber company, Inc, of ITO acres
of land in Jackson, Mich.
On this newly acquired property,
new Ajax factories, to cost approx
nately $2,500,000, will be erected.
Work will be started at once as the
present production facilities of the
Ajax company are being strained to
the limit in an effort to keep pace
with the ever-growing demand for
Ajax tires and Ajax tubes. Il
The new plant when completed
will enable the Ajax Rubber com
pany practically to double its output.

Push Out Your Clutch
When Starting Motor

why push out the e1utch1" A
good many people ask this question,
Says Elmer Rosengren of the Ne
braska Storage Battery company.
whats the use of pushing out
the clutch when you start your
motor, as long as the shift lever
is in neutral and there is prac-
tically no load on the engine?" The
question sounds like logical one.
but as matter of fact it is based
on a wrong supposition. There is
really considerable load on the
engine, just on account of the shaft
and gears that must be turned.
Just try this test if you want to
see how much this load amounts to.

Turn your engine over by hand
some morning with the clutch in.
Then have someone hold the clutch
pedal down or fasten it down with
blocks and try it again. If you
turn the engine over rapidly you'll
see that there is quite difference
and the lead is much greater when
the engine spins at the rate the
starting motor turns it.
It pays to keep in mind the fact
that thickened oil has very. def

ABUNDANT RAINS
MAKE GRASS FOR
SLOPES CATTLE
Situation Saved for Present, De.
clares State Treasurer Olson,
Big Rancher

Abundant rains of the last week, al.
though a month too late to help small
grain, have saved the feed situation
for the present on the Slope.
1--WE have no further worry about
fall feed,' said State Treasurer OF.
son, big farmer and rancher in Bow
man county, today. "These rains will
make plenty of grass and that will
take care of the cattle until cold
weather comes. Unfortunately this
late grass, even though we didn't need
it all for grazing, will not cure on the
ground for winter pasturage as the
earlier grass would have done. But
It will take care of us until snow
flies, and if we can only get some
hay for winter we'll not be in bad
shape.
Wheat for Forage.
Small grain crops on the Slope are
not bad as they have been reported,
in spots at least. l started cutting
wheat last week. We worked all morn
ing and didn't get header-box full. l
intend TO let it stand now, hoping that
it will grow up with thistles so we
can cut it for wheat"
AS is characteristic of men from the
Slope, State Treasurer Olson shows no
Encouragement. He is disappointed
with the failure of his small grain, but
he's far from flat on his back, with
1000 acres of the fine grazing land ana
plenty of sheep and cattle to turn the
grass into money.

.EQU.ALlZERS IN
INITIAL SESSION
ATSTATE HOUSE
Busy Season Ushered in for Gov
ernor Frazier and Fellow
Tax Doctors
LAWS CAUSE CONFUSION
Little Grist for Mill Available
Today Because Of Mix.up
in Statutes

The state board of equalization ent'
cred upon it's annual sessions today
The commission consists OF Govern
or Frazier, State Treasurer Olson,
State Auditor Kositzky, Attorney Gen
eral LANCER, and George E. Wallace
state tax commissioner, who by an act
Of the last assembly is made secretary
OF the board. l..s
The meeting which began today prob
ably will be the most important ever
held by a North Dakota state board OF
equalization. The new tax laws have
created much confusion and not a lit.
tie dissatisfaction. The last assem-.
bly provided that individual com
plants may be carried direct to the
state board, instead Of first being
sifted out by the county boards OF
equalization. AS a result it Is expect
ed that the state commission will have
manv times more individual claims to
pass on that have ever before been
presented.
Some Big Job.
The state board must determine the
amount which will be required for
the state levy under the new assessed
valuation, which increases the worth
of taxable property in North Dakota
from s450,OO0,O0O to $1,200,000, 900. It
is believed probable this rate Will ne
S.5 mills, as compared with four mills
last year. The revenue produced Dy
the somewhat smaller levy upon the
trebled valuation will be much great
er. The equalzers must also spread
upon the tax rolls of the various
counties the assessment which 1nsur'
ance Commissioner Olsness deems ne
cessary to indemnify farmers whose
crops were protected in the state hail
insurance department. This assess.
ment probably will range between 10
and rs cents on about 100000 acres
of land. Eighteen millions acres OF
crop lands originally were covered, but
the Withdrawals averaged about fifty
per cent. The total loss, whatever 1t
may be, will be pro-rated over the
lands which were not withdrawn.
New Tax Levies.
The board is also required to assess
against all taxable property a special
levy of one-half mill to provide fo1
the soldiers bounty payments, and
there must also be spread on the rolls
another special levy to create an in
terest and sinking fund from which
the $17,0OO,OO0 in state bonds author
lied by the last assembly may be re-
tired.
The work of the board is complicat
ed by the fact that the last assembly
in it's tax program provided that the
state equalizers should meet on the
first Tuesday in August but did not
demand that returns from the county
auditors be made before the last Mon
day in the month. A majority OF the
county auditors appear to need all the
time they have been allowed, and, al
though Secretary Wallace has appeal
ed to them to hurry up, there was lit
tie grist for the mill when 1t began
grinding today. Still another tax
statute requires that the board make
its levy on or before the first Of Sep
tember, which will necessitate some
tall hustling upon the part of the
equaliZers.

IA large proportion Of northwestern
barley is ground up with wild oats and
shipped south for stock food. It is
surprising, too, to discover how much
of this grain enters human consump'

for pork, especially, there is nothing
finer. Putting the breweries out OF
