Friday night to some time Monday

any more wheat will he sown. There
is plenty of water now and few warm
days would help the fall pasture. The
wheat that is up is looking fine.

FUEL INQUIRY.

s. writes: l have been using - gasoline with very fair satisfaction, but there is another brand sold here at several cents less per gallon. Sev- eral of my friends are using this with excellent results, but when tried it in my car, it would hardly run at all, although l changed the carburetor adjustment. Is there any thing which l can do to enable my engine to run on this fuel?
 Answer: It is probable that your friends cars have more effective means for heating the mixture than yours has. Perhaps their cars are equipped with exhaust heated or "hot spot" intake manifolds, while yours may be heated only by the jacket water or perhaps may be exposed to the air and thus not heated at all This cheaper gasoline is presumably less volatile than that which you regularly use and thus requires a higher intake temperature to vapor- ize it properly. Perhaps you can ob- tain a heated manifold or arrange an exhaust heating jacket around yours. If you do so, you can prob ably make use of this cheaper fuel.

INITIATION PRESSURE QUERY

c. H. write: The four-inch tires on my car are marked "inflate to 50 pounds pressure" Is it actually nee essary to follow this advice?
 Answer: Probably not. The rec commended imitation pressure for this size, under normal loading, is now considered to be nearer 65 than 80 pounds per square inch. However, it is for the tire manufacturers in terest to have his tires run very fully inflated and he therefore specifies a pressure that is safely high, know ing that his tires may be used great ly overloaded, in which case high in- flation will go far toward preventing their discreditably early failure. He knows also that if he calls for 80

Ford Plans to Use
 Hydro Electric on
 His New Factories

Ford Plans to use - - Detroit, Mich, Sept. 6.-Henry Ford, who is said to be planning the erection of several large automobile and tractor plants and auxiliary fae- tories in various parts of the coun- try, will operate them entirely by the hydro electric system it has been announced by his secretary, Ernest G. Liebold.
 Many municipalities situated on streams and rivers that can De mar messed will, according to Mr.. Llebold, eventually have Ford factories. It is reported that MT. Ford and his engineers have devised new type of generator which is a radical departure from designs now genef- ally in use. : It is planned by Mr. Ford to begin the erection of number of auxiliary plants on the streams of Michigan shortly, manufacturing at the source of the raw material and providing labor for thousands of men and wom- en. Eventually, it is expected, the system will be extended to various parts, standardized, will be shipped to Detroit and Dearborn, Mich, for assembling, it is understood.
 The Canadian assembling plant probably will be located near Wlnd- sor, Ont., across the border from De- troit. That for Mexico has not been decided upon. It was stated some time ago that MT. Ford planned to enter the Swedish automobile manu- featuring field, also and he may use the same power plans there he is contemplating for this country.

MURDER FARM CASE,
 NEW KANSAS MYSTERY HAS OLD C0UNTERP
Nearly Fifty Years Ago Eight Victims Found in Similar
 Case.

Toneka. Kan.. Sept. 6.-Not since the disclosures surrounding the ind ing of the remains of eight Vlctllns,, buried near the notorious Bender roao house in Lafette county, way back ln 1873. has Kansas experienced 'nuT- der farm" mystery such as recently has been brought to light in the little town of Maple Hill, IS miles west o1 this city.
 This month three human skeletons have been found at Maple H1A, on premises formerly occupied by Rufus King who for 12 years ran delivery business in that village. In each case a corners jury found that the victim has been murdered and King now is confined in the Shawnee coun- tv iail. confronted with three charges of first degree murder. lie was brought to the jail here from Alma Kan. for fear of an attempt at lynch ing. officers declared.
 l The three men, whose skeletons have been identified, disappeared years ago. Search for others con tinues. King denies any knoWleoge of murders or of men. being buried ewith their boots aons about ms place' In each of&the three cases, however, at the time the men disappeared King offered plausible explanation. The fact that he possessed property of the men in each case, after the disappearance, he explained by de- claring he bought it. He even went to relatives of two of the men ana told them of the departure "on the night train'' of the men and conflded alleged reasons why they had to ! leave town in a hurry. .a,

COASTING HILLS WITH CLUTCH
 DISENGAGED,

C. L. s. asks: In driving down slight grades should l push out the clutch and let the engine run as slow ly as it will or keep the clutch and gears in and close off the gas? The car will go much further before pow CT is required, by adopting the former practice.
 Answer: The objection to holding out the clutch, while coasting,is the liability of wearing out the clutch bearings, which are not intended for long continued duty. This is especi- ally true of the thrust bearing, which is subjected to the full clutch spring pressure and runs at speed equal to the difference between engine and drive-shaft speeds. If these bear

WATCH ADJUSTMENTS

Careful attention paid to adjust ments goes far toward achieving this end. Bearings too tightly adjusted wear themselves out very quickly and when set either too tight or too slack cause serious damage to gears the meshing of which they control. The prompt correction of defects, when they first develop and before their consequences have become serious, is another important consideration. If a loose connecting. road bearing is at once taken care of, when it's ham, outlay need not be large but, if re- pairs are neglected until the rod has broken loose and wrecked the crank case and perhaps the whole cylinder block, the replacement expense will be staggering. It is only when the stitch in time" is taken that the thine" can be saved and the opera tor, who always has one ear open for unusual car sounds, is the one who is likely to detect the need for the time ly small repair. the performance of which may obviate a "maior opera tion." But after all, there is one way of reducing the need for repairs, more important than all others combined namely, the continuous effective lub- rication of all car parts. Cars that are well fabricated can do strenuous work for long periods and even with stand moderate abuse, without seri- Ous deterioration, but a car that is not oiled and greased can hardly be moved without beginning to suffer unnecessary wear, which will very soon call for repairs. Let no motor ist fail to realize that. in nine cases out of ten, it is imperfect fabrication tribute sXacted by the demon fric- tion.

LOW GASOLINE ECONOMY OF
 ~ SMALL CAR

H. T. writes: Not long ago I bought, to use in my professional work. a small four cylinder car, think ing that it would operate much more economically as to gasoline than the larger six, which I have been driving Although this small car weighs nearly 1000 pounds less than the larger one and has much smaller engine, it consumes just as much gasoline. This is quite disappoint- ment to me. Can you tell me why the small car should not do better than this?
 Answer: Perhaps your small car is not worn in or turned up to give its best economy and that you may expect better results later, but many cars of this class are wasteful of fuel for the following reason: In order to make small engine give it's ut most maximum output it must be capable of extremely high speed. it's exhaust valves must be opened long before the end of the power stroke or the cylinders will not fill properly This extremely early exhaust open ing releases the expanding gases be- fore they have by any means com pleted the useful work upon the pis- ton, which they are capable of per forming, and large part of the fuel energy is thrown away In other words, fuel economy is sacrificed to maximum speed performance-some people think mistakingly.

NOISE IN STEERING GEAR.

F. B. writes:- When driving fast over stony roads, there is noise as if sharp blows were struck upon the lower end of the steering column. The car steers all right, but I don't like this noise. What causes it?
 Answer: We cannot be sure, but most likely it is due to the presence of end play in the steering column so that, when one of the wheels strikes an obstruction, it gives the steering connections a jerk that tends to give the column an endwise mo- tion. Somewhere in the steering de-
