CIean Spark PIugs Save Batteries.

The man who is too busy to clean his
spark plugs is shortening his battery
life" This is the opinion of Mr.. Tom
Harris the local Willard expert.
Even though the engine is using
magnetic ignition the carbon on the
spark plugs is putting unnecessary
work on the battery. The engine must
he turned over more rapidly in order
to get a spark from the magnetic and
the battery has to do much more work
for each start than it would il the
plugs were clean"
The motorist who unscrews and
cleans his spark plugs every week or
two will find that he has taken a big
load off the battery and that he is
able to get his engine turning over in
noticeably shorter time"

It is indeed an unenviable posi-
ton that Mr.. Taft occupies before
the people. Once the leader of
the Republican party he finds
himself discredited by an all but
unanimous vote of his party associ-
ates in the Senate. He has gone
too far to hope to regain the posi-
ton he once held, so he econtinues
the hopeless task of persuading his
people to forget their Unborn nat
inalism and subscribe to an inter
nationalism that whenever attemt-
ed in all the worlds history has
brought disaster upon the nations
involved. How must be envy his
former political antagonist, that
virile American Of Oyster Bay,
whose grave is the shrine of every
true patriot. Does he not know
that his will bea memory ''unwept"
unhonored, and unsung?
