We doubt the practicability of
your scheme unless you use a very
powerful engine, such as an airplane
engine or a V-type automobile en-
CINE. 1t is, however. an interesting
field for experiment. We cannot
recommend any particular engine.
You should write the secretary of
state regarding the license.
This is TO fill the cylinders with
fuel mixture, making it easier to
start the engine. Your anmeter may
be defective or there may be some
other trouble that only an expert
can find by a careful inspection.

trouble it used TO squirt a lot OF
gasolene out of the carburetor every

bles in any way related TO each

The drip after stopping is due TO
the fact that raw gasolene is held
in the manifold. AS soon as the
engine stops the gasolene runs out.
This is normal, especially in win
ter, and when there is a long in

CINE stops is because it has used up
the gasolene in the float chamber,

ing clogged, keeping the gasolene
from running in as fast as necessary.
Clean strainer or remove abstraction
from pipe and the trouble should
be ended.

Labor Day Came


Labor Days game of ball between the
Army and Navy ball tossers and the locals
was the most thrilling and exciting game OF
the season to be staged upon the. local Ola
mond. The contest. was. waged for thir-
teen successive innings before final deci-
sion was reached. In the last halt of this
frame the locals were successful in getting
one man to complete the circuit, resulting
IN victory of a to 8 for the home guards.
The game was bitterly contested for ev-
cry inch of the way and the results were
such class of ball as has never before been
exhibited upon our local diamond. The
brilliant plays were so fast and numerous
that it kept the eight hundred and fifty
some odd fans in a continuous uproar of
roofing and applauding their favorite play
ers. The game opened up with Kien in
the box for the locals and Hoy was the first
opponent TO face him. Hoy lifted a high
fly to short center field and Hick dropped
the ball allowing Hoy to get safely on. Hoy
steals second base and insstealing third base
he was thrown out but the jumps did not
see it that way; therefore Hoy was not Gre
dited with stealing third. Berger struck out

Labor Day Fittingly
Observed

Labor Day was time of cheer and glad
ness at this institution. Ideal weather con-
ditions prevailing we were permitted to en-
ter the park Immediately after breakfast and
enjoy an extra long half-hoIiday. The
visiting team, the Army and Navy club of
Saltwater, arrived about o'clock and the
game was on. 1t was really the fastest
game of ball played this season. Every
one was full of pep and the game was 13
innings long. The visiting team is COM
posed of boys just home from France and
they have not forgotten our national
pastime. They played even better than
they did three years ago. A great many of
the players belonged to the old Starkels of
1916. The game lasted until IL o'clock
and we marched to the dining hall where a
feast, appropriate of the occasion, awaited
us. There was some doubt in the Kitchen
department as to whether we would have
watermelon on this date, but watermelon
was on the bill-of- fare, so, therefore. we
must have watermelon. And we did have
watermelon. There was not enough for
the kitchen and hospital but they can wait
and enjoy theirs later on. Below we ap-
pend the menu that was served for dinner
and it was with a wish that Labor Day
came more often that we did full justice to
the spread. 1t is an assured fact that every
one thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Fol-
lowing is the menu: Pork chops with
dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, wax
beans, tomatoes, white and raisin bread,
minute pudding, cheese. watermelon, cof-
fee, milk and sugar.

Where Quality Counts

When you enter the door of a grocery store
And the clerk bobs up with bounce,
1t isn't her size that dazzles your eyes,
It's case where quality counts.
And so if you please, with the pumpkins
and peas,
1t isn't the pound and the OUNCE.
Not the size of the pile, but the class and
the style,-.
It's a case where quality counts.
If the pumkins are punk, and the ginger is
junk,
Your pie is a pill, l announce.
SO be wise man, and trade while you can
In the city where quality counts.
If the cherries are old, and the berries are
mould,
Pray what have you saved that amounts?
The boys whipped the Kaiser on good ap-
petizer,-
Twas case where quality counts.

Motion Picture Show

Wednesday, August 81, was red lettel
day with the movie fans. Our auditorium
became literally house of mirth and pea
after peal of contented laughter issued forth
The cause of this hilarious conduct on the
part of the audience was brought about by
appearances of several comedians of note in
two two-reel comedies, entitled, "Tha,
Night and "a Country Hero "Tha,

reels featuring Ben Turpin, Charles Muir.

The Seeds Punishment

A little seed lay in the ground,
And soon began to sprdut;
''Now which of all the flowers around"
1t unused, "shall come outl
"The lily's face is fair and proud,
But just trifle cold;
The rose, think, is rather loud,
And then its fashions old.
"The violet is very we'll,
But not flower I'd choose;
Nor yet the Canterbury bell
l never cared for blues.
s'Petunias are by far too bright,
And vulgar flowers besides;
The primrose only blooms at night.
And peonies spread too wide."
And so it criticised each flower,
This supercilous seed;
Until it woke one summer hour,
And found itself aweed.

Hoy Tried to Steal Home.

after Anderson had made two unsuccessful
attemps to bunt, Hoy became over anxious
to score and tried to steal home with the
next ball delivered but was thrown out,
Kien to Jam. Anderson struck out. The
locals, in their half of the frame, were un-
able to get a man to first. Eut in their
turn to bat in the last half of the second in
ming they were able to get their initial
score, on base hit, stolen base, sacri-
flee hit and sacrifice fly. After that they
were held scoreless till the last half of the
sixth inning. But in the meantime the Wis
itors got busy in their half of the fifth frame
and before the threatening avalanche was
staunched two runs had crossed the plate al
lowing the visitors TO take the lead. The
game remained in this condition until the
locals turn at bat in the sixth frame. Then
on combination of passes and two base
hit the locals got two runs, giving them a
lead of one point, and thus the game stood
until the opening of the ninth frame. In
this frame the locals pitcher had some hard
luck. The first four batters that faced him
we're either passed on balls or hit with a
pitched ball, allowing one of the opponents
to walk all the way around the circuit.
The next two batters struck out and the
third one went out on fly to Wells. The
game was now tied and it stood in that con-
diton until the last half of the thirteenth
frame. Eros, the first man up in this frame,
struck out. Brad was passed on balls and
he stole second. Hick lifted one out to
right field for two stations, scoring Brad
and ending the game.
Loney, who pitched the entire game for
the visitors, had an exceptionally hard row
to hoe. 1t was almost by superhuman as
sistance his team mates gave him that he
was allowed to keep. the locals batting aver
age to such low degree. He allowed six
hits. struck out nine men, passed four on
balls and hit four batsmen.
Kien who worked upon the slab for nine
innings, had a small margin the best of
the game till the opening of the ninth. By
him giving the visitors one score in this
frame he turned the game over to his pre-
decessor on an equal basis. During his
period in the box he allowed five safe hits,
struck out eleven men, passed two on balls
and hit three batsmen.
Wells who relieved him in the tenth
frame was as equally effective. He allowed
only two safe hits, struck out three men
and passed one on balls.

His Crutch

He hobbies down the quiet street,
A youthful veteran
Whose heart is still attuned unto
The drums wild rataplan,
Whose ears are deafened even yet
By battles dread alarm,
Whose hating step depends upon
The crutch beneath his arm.
His good right leg is gone-afar
In Flanders mud it lies,
But there's smile upon his lips,
For still Old Glory flies.
And though a slow and painful gait
His mundane progress mars,
Behold! his spirit vaults the clouds
And strides among the stars.
Washington's sword and Franklin's
staff
And -Lincoln's pen shall be
Embossed forevermore upon
The shield of Liberty;
And 10! the doughboy's battered
crutch,
Through Times eternal flight,
Will stand signpost on the road
To Freedoms mountain height.

A Creed

Less human cussedness is what we need.
And that's my creed!
Less wish to make some other heart repeat
|. Or make it bleed.
Less will TO muddy some ones crystal stream
Because we're queer,
And don't want any body else to dream
When we can cheer.
Less human meanness in its varied forms,
That's my desire!
More of the heart love that so truly warm:
BY natures fire.
Less spilling other peoples peaches just be-
We split our own;
Less growing like the dogs do when they
pause
By some stray bone,
Less human misery when we have less
Of these cite,
And more glad heartedness and Joy to bless
Lives lived Alright.

At Ninety

Swiftly the years 60 rolling by,
We cannot stay them if we Try;
Like birds they come, like birds they fly.
Strange messages to us they bring,
Like carrier pigeons, meath their wing;
Some make us weep, some make us sing.
But as we ponder on the scrolls
Each passing day to us unrolls,
May we t1nd courage in our souls
To understand the message given,
To strive as our forebears have striven
To read the orders sent from Heaven;
To do the duty they impose,
Following where'er our Leader goes,
Leaving the end to Him who knows.
