Your Auto A. B. C.
BY OTTO KRANK
Grease Her Wheels

"A man drove into an automobile
garage one day with a fine big eight
cylinder car. Something was wrong
1t groaned and it creakeG and it Ia
bored.
He climbed out of the drivers
seat, said Fix it, to the garage
man, and beat it for car line.
The garage man went to work
when he got ready to. He lacked up
that car and took off a wheel. The
steel roller bearings were ground
10 bits. The rough broken pieces Of
metal had ground out the housings.
The axle was denied in places. And
there wasn't the slightest evidence
that grease had ever been applied to
that axle. The other front wheel
was just as bad.
Once a season-twice if the mile
age is say 10000 miles-the front
wheels must be taken off and the
bearings packed with grease. And
the best grease you can buy is none
too good.
tThe rear wheels are fabricated
from the differential housing.

Tuesday night and secured more than
a thousand dollars in currency and
Liberty bonds. Several people about
the town heard the muff1ed explosions
and search was started Immediately
afterward for the yeggs, who have
so far made good their escape.
In the pharmacy $3.50 in cash and
two $50 Liberty bonds were secured,
while in Pye's store $500 in Liberty
bonds and 5000 worth of Savings
