TRUCK MAKES A DIVE

Friday afternoon one of Swift q
Company's trucks took a bath in the
race, making a nose dive from the
corner of East Superior street and
Pine avenue into the water. The
driver of the truck started TO turn
the corner and in some way the
steering gear locked, with the turn
for the corner just partly made. This
caused the truck to run over the
sidewalk, smash through the iron
pipe fence, and go into the race. The
truck was proceeding slowly, or it
probably would have overturned, in
stead of just remaining with the
front end down in the water, and the
rear end high up the bank. Two
men were on the drivers seat and
neither was injured, nor was any
thing on the loaded truck thrown off.

CLEAN SPARK PLUGS
IL Will Save the Batteries Saws
Willard Expert.

The man who is too busy to clean
his spark plugs is shortening his
battery life" This is the opinion of
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 be turned over more rapidly in
order to get spark from the mag
neto and the battery has to do much
more work for each start than it
would if the plugs were clean"
The motorist who unscrews and
cleans his spark plugs every week or
two will find that he has taken big
load off the battery and that he is
able to get his engine turning over
IN noticeably shorter time.-adv.
