When the Battery Starves
It Must Be Fed Up Aqain

"a battery that is run down for
lack of proper charging, is like a
man who has been weakened by a
lack of proper food" saws Elmer
Rosengren of the Nebraska Storage
Battery company. THE battery is
too weak to take the charge in the
normal way just as the man who
has not had sufficient nourishment
may be too weak to work for a
meal. For this reason it is useless
to try to charge the battery by run
ming the engine of the car.
The proper method to follow
with such a battery is to put it on
charge at an extremely low rate for
short period and then gradually in
crease the rate until the normal
charging rate has been reached. This
can only be done at some service
station which is properly equipped
for this sort of work. .
Occasionally some one asks US
if this job cannot be done by run
ming the engine slowly at first and
letting the battery charge in that
way for several hours; after this
process has been allowed to proceed
for some time the idea would be that
your engine should be speeded up
so that normal charge would pro-
coed. OF course, this process is not
a workable one. The one thing that
stands in the way of such a charg-
ing process is that the generator is

Real Question After
All Is How an Auto
Performs on the Road

A change has come about in auto
mobile circles. Once, car owners
boasted of six cylinders or eight in
much the same spirit as the school
boy, who proudly asserts that, my
daddy is smarter than your daddy"
People are finding out that six
cylinders or eight" as opposed to
-four" come far from constituting
the final argument in automobile
performance.
In commenting on the subject, ].
7. Bartlett of Lininger Implement
Co, Allen dealers, very aptly said,
If someone could put a wash boiler
under the hood that would pull the
car-ayer the hill, sweetly and surely
and invariably, I'd be for it. People
come to me repeatedly and tell me
that this new Allen rides like a
six" Many think it actually is a
six. 1t happens to be a -four" and
it certainly is great performer.
1t strikes me that the real question
of car merit is in performance and
not in specifications. As fast as we
get them, we are selling these Al
lens on the basis that they have the
ability to make any grade that IS
negotiable and they ride like Pull
man in the tonneau. With that
kind of a car I'D be foolish to sit
up nights worrying whether it has
seven cylinders or only three"

Willard Now Becomes a
Tractor Farmer

Jess Willard, ex-champion heavy
weight prize tighten of the world,
has joined the ranks Of tractor farm
ers on his 700-acre farm near Tope-
ka, Kan.
Back to the farm" seems to be
the universal way of the mighty.
Writers, statesmen, actors and prize
fighters, all seem to find a common
mecca in the peaceful pursuit of till
ing the soil after doing their bit in
the spot light of life. But back to
the soil" no longer means taking up
hoe or the handle of a pillow be-
hind a slow horse. Jess Willard is
making things hum on his place with
a $3.50 Avery. He is turning husky
burrows every time his outfit crosses
the field. He can pull two or three
times the load that one man could
handle with team. He has belt
power ready fer the thresher and
silo filler, as we'll as the power need
ed for grading roads.

Christmas EIeCtriCS
Must Be BOUGHT Early

A word of admonition to the local
Santa Claus from Joe Elfred of the
Hanson & Tyler Auto company,
Buy your Milburn electric early"
It seems to be the custom Of local
people when buying <electrics for
Christmas gifts to want them dellv-
cred at certain hour on Christmas
day. This entails quite lot of
preparation on our part. To have
these electrics fttingly decorated
with flowers, ribbons, cards and
notes at the door at exactly the
right time would tax the executive
ability of stage manager.
IF we knew all about these
things in advance" continued Joe
Elfred, eve could do them properly
and avoid very many disappoint-
ments. The value of the purchas-
er's cooperation is a point that can
not be over emphasized if this
princely gift is to be delivered ex-
act1y as intended"

.L|N|NGER TO Be
DISTRIBUTOR OF
F. ". D. TRUCKS
Bartlett SAYS This Selection
Is Long Past Experimental
Stage as It Has War
Record.

Announcement is made by the
Four-Wheel Drive Auto company,
Clintonville. Wis, that they have APP
pointed the Lininger Implement
company as wholesale distributors of
the F. w. D. truck in the Omaha
territory.
In speaking of this announcement,
!. I. Bartlett of the Lininger Imple-
ment company states: "Only after
a very careful search OF the truck
field for a general purpose quality
truck, did we take on the F. w. D..
line. Our investigation satisfied US
that we could offer the F. w. D. to
the public with the assurance that it
was all the makers claimed for it
and long since past the experimental
stage. The record the truck made
in the war is convincing proof of the
quality and service put in It A buy
er can purchase a F. w. D, truck
with the assurance that Re is get
ting the greatest return for his
money.
There are three great-'rights' in
the successful truck business, built
right sold right used right This
places an equitable responsibility on
the manufacturer, dealer and user.
The makers of the F. w. D. trucks
have done their part by using high
grade material and super-units &C
curately put together. We will do
cur part by selling a truck to fit a
buyers requirements and by taking
such care of F. w. D. trucks through
prompt and efficient service as will
keep them in hrst-class condition.
The users responsibility is to give
his equipment reasonable care and
attention"

Here is a home made instrument

Foreign Policy of the Russian a.@a
Bolsheviki Simp ly to "Live and Let Live"

The bolsheviki would agree to pay
all debts of the old regime This
could be done partly in gold and part
ly in materials
The bolsheviki would keep their ar
mics within the boundaries of the pres
ent soviet republic until a plebscite
could be held in the territories sur
rounding it. By this plebiscite, ST.
IBERIA, Ukrainia, the Cuorland and all
other buffer states in the former Rus
sia nempre could decide whatever
they wanted to remain independent
or join a Russian soviet confedera-
ton.
The soviet government also would
agree to withhold its propagandists
from other countries and finance no
campaign for boshevsm outside of
Russia.
DcmobIization of the bolsheviki
army would take place as soon as the
allies withdraw their forces.
On the part Of the allies, it was
proposed that they evacuate Rus
sian territory, cease financing or en-
couraging the opponents of the soviet
government lift the blockade and per-
NIT the bolsheviki to buy railway
equipment and other machinery. The
bolshevik further asked the allies to
recover $1,0OO,0OO rubIes in gold,
captured by the Czecho-Slovaks at
Przemsyl and now held in Siberia to
be used in payment of Russia's debt
to the allies.

try" said Makowski.
