WILLYS LIGHTS
TO HAVE SALES
ORGANIZATION
One Of the Companies Con-
troIIed by John N. WiIlys to
Build Farm Light
Plants.

A modern electric lighting and
power plant for farms, rural schools
and churches, suburban homes,
yachts, etc. is to be manufactured
by one of the John N. Willys COM
panies. the Electric Auto-Lite cor
ooration of Toledo, o.
The new system will be known as
WHY'S Light. 1t will be marketed
by the WHY'S Light division of the
Electric Auto-Lite corporation
through distributors and dealers.
The formation OF the sales organiza-
tion is now under way. 1t will ex-
tend throughout the United States
and eventually throughout the
world. Distribution in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho is in the hands of
the Sander-Prentice corporation,
with temporary Offices in the Col
man building.
The new system is said to be the
most complete that has yet been
placed on the market. 1t is op-
Grated by a Willys-Knight sleeve
valve motor, a motor known for its
simplicity of operation and its quiet
ness. The engine has been developed
to such an extent that it requires
practically no attention and is so
simple that a child can operate it,
according to those who have OBJ
served it.
The complete plant consists of
Willys-Knight engine, directly con-
nected generator, a simple control
box and a storage battery. The
Knight engine burns kerosene at ap-
proximately one-half the cost of
gasoline. 1t is air-cooled. self
eranking. self-running and self-stop-
ping. The control is semi-auto-
matte.
The new lighting system is adapt
ed to an increasing number of uses.
In addition to its general utility on
the farm, it is available for cotton
gins, lumber and construction
camps, oil and gas pumping stations,
mines. stores, garages, dairies, tele-
phone exchanges in smaller towns,
warehouses and stations. 1t also
may be utilized for hospitals, fishing
and hunting clubs, country homes,
street. store and home lighting in
small! towns, theaters, military
camps and in summer resorts and

COUNCIL UNANIMOUS
AGAINST CHANGE OF TIME

If the people abide by the recon.
mendation Of council at a specia,
meeting of that body Monday night
they will not alter their time pieces
the first of April, as ruled by the fed
eral authorities.
Of the opinion that time has beer
messed sufficiently in the past by
reason of alterations, council is a
unit for retaining the present arrange
ment, regardless of the gain of an
additional period Of working daylight
by shifting the long pointers ahead
another hour.
While the extra hour of daylight
looks good to many, it is probable
that a majority would gladly forego
their natural desire rather than un-
dergo again the mix-up experienced
a few months ago.
Of course there is nothing manda-
tory about the action of council with
regard to a change of time, but it is
their united opinion that no change
be made.
