KNOW YOUR TRACTOR
ADVICE TO FARMERS

The implement dealer of yesterday
is a power farming expert today. Be
sides binders, mowers. and others OF
the older farm machinery equipment
he now sells tractors, power sprayers.
electric light outfits and motor trucks
land in between times may write an
article for leading national magazine.
This has been the experience of A. E.
Kull of Oklahoma City.
From selling trucks and tractors to
writing serio-comic articles for ma
tional magazines is considera BILE step,
but it has been taken without apparent
effort by Mr.. Kull.
Until recently Mr.. Kull was an i'm
plement dealer. Then he added a farm
tractor line and most recently has
become distributor in his territory for
Federal motor trucks
PASSING THE BUCK"
That Mr.. Kull is one of a new type
Of salesmen-and not the least pro-
gressive of the gasoline power demon
strators, is evidenced by his most re-
cent articles which has just appeared
in Country Gentlemen. 1t is entitled
Passing the Buck"
Mr.. Kull, in his Country Gentleman
article, urlNeS nome the tact that there
should be no passing the buck when
a truck or tractor is sold He declares
that the manufacturer should see to
it that the necessary parts are to be
had in territory where his truck or
tractor Is sold and that when needed,
expert service should be provided
The dealer, too, should sell the truck
or tractor on straight facts-not on
overdrawn statements. says Mr. Kull.
His part is to not only point out the
good points of his truck or tractor but
to show the purchaser how he must
operate and care for said truck or trac-
! tor to have it give the best results, the
longest service, and the least trouble.
ADVANTAGE OF KNOWING.
TOO many statesmen tell the buyer.
If anything goes wrong, just wire us
and we'll shoot right out in stead of
impressing upon the buyers mind that
he must exercise ordinary intelligence
in operating his truck or tractor, must
read the instruction book carefully,
and heed it, and in general learn how
to care for his minor truck or tractor
troubles himself says Mr.. Kull. This
would save the manufacturers so per
cent at least of their service expense,

VALVE STEM GUIDE susHINes

In engines not fitted with special
valve stem guide bushings, excessive
wear of the guide and consequently
valve stem side play and oil leakage
may be prevented by roaming the
guide and fitting a bronze bushing.
The bushing may be obtained already
machined from any supply house In
fitting, the valve should center on the
tappet, otherwise there will be a side
thrust against the bushing and it will
wear cccentrically.

Every storage house in New York City and other
Atlantic ports is stuffed with food BreWerles diverted

able building is crammed from cellar to garret
Most of this food seems intended for expectation
Food exports have already reached record volume and
that volume is said to be still growing Europe is clam

But the owners Of the stored food do not care
whether they sell it abroad at home They have NOV

advantage Of the foreign market but they will just
willingly release it for the home market domestic prices
can be forced up high enough to give them big profit
as they could reap abroad The profit is the thing And
it is in most cases. profit admittedly far in excess OF
any previously realized.
The food boards are estimated at no less than 10000
100000 pounds in NV York alone The totals for the
whole eastern seaboard are beyond calculation.
Who are the owners of these boards? A govern
.nent representative says:
"Of the immense quantities of food stuffs held in
storage the greater percentage is at the moment in the
hands Of profees who awaiting an opportunity to

Of the So fixed for annual dues, 25
cents will be forwarded to national head
quarters, and SO cents to state headquar-
ters. This year the state headquarters
will use most of its funds in sending
delegates to the national meeting to be
held in the east late this fall. The
delegates from the local post to attend
the state convention in Portland, Sep
tember Is and 10 will be appointed at
the next meeting, to be held early in
September.
Robin Day presided at the meeting
last night. Speaking of one of the OBJ
.jects Of the American Legion, he said it
was to look after the interests OF the
boys who left their jobs and went into
the war. He referred to one instance
where a soldier applied for his former
work at the state house AID was turned
down for a man who had seen no serv-
ice. Mr.. Day said the post should act
as one man and demands its rights.
DIR. Carlton Smith, upon his election
as president, said he appreciated the
honor, especially as Capital Post No. 9
represented the Drawn and brains of
American citizenship. He recalled that
he had been with the boys for two years
and knew just what each one thought
when called out Of bed at $50 in the
morning during the war, and what the
boys thought Of the daily gymnastics
and how they felt at the mess call. "
All these things make community in

ization will grow. Twenty years from
now the American Legion will bind you
together in g union of feeling and sym
pathy, the like of which has never been
known" /"

PEACE CONFERENCE
BRINGS FIRST STORM
Question of Secret or Open Session In
.volved-Agreement Reached to
Issue Statement.

Paris. Jan. Is (By the Associated
Press) The question of whether the
peace confernce is to be secret or
wholly open to the eyes and ears OF
the world, the settlement of which has
been long awaited, was brought to
focus today when it was announced
that an agreement had been made to
confne the information given the pub
lie to daily official communique and
that a gentleman's agreement prevail
ed among the delegates not to dis
cuss or in any way give information
of the meetings in the foreign OF
fee.
No written official announcement Of
this purpose was issued, but word
was passed out to this effect, and it
was followed by an explosion Of pro-
tests which quite drowned out the
doings of the peace commissioners.
The understanding is that the
American and British delegates op-
posed this decision but the French,
Italians and japanese voting together
prevailed
The British newspaper correspon-
dents Immediately joined in me-
mortal of protest, which .ey put be-
fore Premier Lloyd George. The
American newspaper correspondents
united in what is virtually round
robin to President Wilson in which
they protested in measured terms
against the decision and reminded the
president that one of his IA points
specifies "open covenants of peace
openly arrived att
