During the coming year l do not
anticipate any great advance in crude

the United States Government and tho
full production OF all plantations. II
was believed in the East that there
were held In the markets and ON the
plantations $4,000 tons. This amount
considered with the prospective output
Of 1918 of Approximately 100000 tons,
will supply the needs Of America and
countries against whom embargoes eH-

M. Reeder. 'and there are no people
on the face OF the earth more appre-

BARNEY JUNKS A
WICKED OLD FREAK
Oldfield Disposes Of the Chris
tie Car That Made Many
Unusual Records.

When Barney, oldneld retired from
racing to enter the manufacturing field
at the head Of the Oldnerd Tire Com
pany one of his first acts was to re-
duce to junk the famous old Christie
racing car that had served for so many
years as his pet war horse.
For distances up to two miles the
Christie was probably the fastest car
of its generation. 1t carried to the bone
yard the official worlds speedway rec
ords UP to two miles, as well as the
record for one lap on the Indianapolis
speedway, time 1870. It's total of
state and track records mounted we'll
into the scores.
Due to its unique construction the
Christie was undoubtedly the most
whimsical as we'll as the most danger
GUS of sleed cars.
Its front wheels keyed solidly to their
axle, which also served as the crank
shaft of the engine. This construction
permitted no differential, thus making
II necessary for both wheels to turn at
the same rate. regardless of the direc-
tion In which they might be pointed.
When front tire collapsed the driver
saulted or turned Off sharply and rolled
over several times
Because OF its bloody record the Chris
tie had lain for several years virtually
abandoned in n leaky shed. where Mr.
Oldfeld found It and bought 1t for $500
The Master Driver" Immediately pro-
ceeded to give the car infinitely more
severe use than any Of his III fated
predecessors, yet Il was always well be-
haved in his service. and only the pilots
close friends knew that he was deliber-
ately placing his life in peril every time
he drove it,
Barney made the Christie's tires his
especial study. He INDUCED In none
of his tire experiments with this car. It
was given the best tried and tested tire
equipment at his command. Whether
or not he could have survived the burst
ing OF one OF the Chris,ies tires remains
forever an unsolved mystery, for no tire
ever burst under him.
Repeatedly warned that the Christie
would get" him, Barney's only conces-
sion was to hold II In reserve. When
strenuous measures were needed, how
ever. he would always call on the fleet
old freak.
Crankltss Il had to be started by n
towline; clutchless thero was no way
OF stopping it except by stopping the
motor; the gigantic two cylinder engine
would begin its deliberate succession OF
bangs. and the wicked old car would
spring into It's hair raising dash
incidentally, the Christie proved a
veritable gold mine for the junk men.

Velie Motors Corporation.


Few people. even the residents OF
rural communities themselves. realize
the vast changes which have taken place
In farm life and in farm progress during
the past few years. yet the whole
scheme of living which formerly pre-
vailed has been revised and vastly i'm
proved by the coming of the automo-
bile.
The trip to and from the nearby vii
lage is no longer n task to be dreaded :
wife or child now drive the car seeking
urgent machinery repairs or needed help,
while the men continue their work In
the field This one fact is responsible
for many thousands of bushels OF grain
saved for the Allies this past year.
A few years ago there was a Gliscon-
certing migration of young farm folks
to the cities They rebelled against the
limitations OF farm life. This condi-
ton has largely changed The young
folks now go to town freely: their
radius Of activity has extended from five
to fifty miles or more. and as a result
they are content and fully satisfied with
the privileges afforded through motor
car use.
The farmer has become a better buyer.
He now knows all standard goods his
buying habits have been entirely
changed through contact with mer-
chants in all surrounding towns. He
locates the best market and deals &C.
,cordlngly. All this has brought him
added wealth and tina merchants them
selves profit by his enlarged buying
oower.
The self-centered farmer. hemmed In
by the limitations Of distance. becomes
careless OF his personal effects. His
buildings are allowed to depreciate; ne
is satisfied with fair return of crops
Through contact with other men, made
possible by the automobile, his vision
hroadens he is inspired to raise better
crops; his buildings are kept up TO the
best OF his ability and he becomes a
leader In the community.

TO INVADE
AMERICAN MARKET
Foreign Automobile Men Also
Will Make Own Parts
Hereafter.

Not the least remarkable accomplish
ment of tho great war has been the
metamorphosis It has wrought in the
attitude Of the foreign automobile in
dustries. In the days before the war
foreign motor car builders without ex-
ception contented themselves with small
production and affected to eneer at
American ideals OF quantity output
The exigencies OF war work. however.
have taught these overseas manufactur-
ers undreamed Of things In regard TO
production possibilities and have in
creased their factory facilities to such
a remarkable degree that their CONNER
cial ideals may be said to have been to-
tally transformed.
Flat. Sunbeam and De Dion, with
few other foreign makers. have an
nounced that their enormous works, built
primarily for munitions making, and
their trained personnel will be used to
manufacture every part OF their cars;
there will be no purchases from parts
makers. Fiat Is even going so far as to
wheels, carbureters and ignition appa-
ratus.
II Is n we'll known fact that In several
OF our allied lands serious consideration
Is being given to an invasion of the
American automobile market and certain
individual concerns are known to be
preparing big campaigns in this country.
In some cases we have specific infor-
nation as to just what offerings foreign
makers intend to mako in attempting to
capture our home markets. Flat has an
nounced four models. three of them With
narrow tread: Sunbeam has n sporting
model with 10 horse power model. and
the British firm OF Enfield-Alldays has
something radical In the shape of a
static radial engine with five cylinders.
Tho foreign makers wisely propose to
meet the fundamental demands of the
American market as TO equipment, and
all the overseas models offered in this
country will have electric starting and
lighting installed. The foreigners, how
ever, will retain magnetic ignition, Of
the superiority OF which they are firmly
persuaded.
Tho foreign Governments are deter
mined TO build up magnetic industries in
. their respective Countries. There is
even a possibility that certain OF them
will substitute magnetic manufacturers
They have not forgotten the state Of
affairs that existed at the beginning of
the war, when the magnetic industry In
all countries was in German hands. SUI
Zee It to say that disaster nearly re-
suited. Every magnetic IN Great Brit
ain was requisitioned and even then
, the supply was Inadequate.
TIE British military authorities sent
| an S. O. s. to the American magnetic
makers The Splitdorf Company shipped
tens Of thousands of It's Dixie magnetos
to the British and French military au-
thoriiles during the early years Of the
war.
American engineers always have fol-
| lowed foreign practice and undoubtedly
will accept what is best in these for
eign designs adapting IL 70 our own
Ideals and service.

Two Tire Mistakes.

A mistake often made by car owners
Is to continue using rims that have been
badly denied or even slightly bent. This
causes rim cutting, which means the
end OF the castings usefulness. Another
error Is to neglect TO keep the valve
stem and stay bolts tight. When this ia
not done water will get into the casing
on wet roads or even when the car is
washed.

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS.
battery LITTER.

An admirable litter for use in raising
the battery out OF the car may be made
BY having what are known as harness
enaps riveted on the ends OF a leather
strap. perhaps an Inch wide and a little
longer than the battery. When this Is
snapped into place 1t makes a convenient
handle for juggling the battery around.
Protect the Fuel Line.
II often happens that the fuel limo
rests against some more or less sharp
edge OF the chassis. The vibration inev-
stable when the car Is in motion causes
a slight rubbing, which in time wears the
piping through and a leak results. 4
break OF this kind may be repaired by
wrapping the pipe with soft wire for a
couple OF Inches on each side OF the leak
sud then timing the whole over with
solder. This not only cures the leak. but
prevents further chafng.
Conserving ChaIas.
II is a very good plan to shift the
cross links OF the tire chains from time

do not depend on the same link OF the
main chain all the time. The wear and
tear on the tire chain centres at the
links 10 which the cross chains are at

latter from time TO time spreads tho
