WHY NOT GET OV GOOD TERMS WITH
 YOUR BATTERIES

Talk to the average motorist about carbureter adjustments. cylin- der synchronism, gear shaft align ments, or any simple little matter like that" remarked Tom Spaulding. man ager of the local EXide' Service Sta tion, and he's right with you on every count. Ask him to explain 60 you the action of his storage battery and he'll usually go down to the end of the class without a struggle.
 And yet there is no real reason for this. Any chap who can figure out the elerSental mechanics of an auto mobile possesses plenty of intelli- gence with which to dope out his battery And he ought to do it. Ex- perience proves that the more a mo- torist knows about the internal ar engagements of his car. the better care he is going to take ofthem-and my personal opinion is that many n good starting and lighting battery is ruined just because its owner doesn't know the few simple principles of it's ac- tion. I'm not much of a lecturer but it is my object, just as it is that of every other 'EXide' Service Man the country round, to help my customers to get the absolute best out of their batteries; and I'm willing to sit down any time and give htem an enlighten-

LOGICAL GAR |S
 FRANKLIN SAYS
 LIVE STOCK MAN

That only the shortage Of members iE the family keeps them from having at least a half dozen more Franklin cars. is the astounding statement of w. H. Merchant of the Merchant Live Stock company. Mir. Merchant has written and signed the following state ment in regard to the uses to which he has put his Franklin.
 We purchased Franklin Touring cal in 1910 for the use of the firms scouting work, and We used the car every day in rounding up the ranches or cattle which consist of several town ships of land throughout Arizona and New Mexico. This car, to date, has turned over the 300 00O mile mark and has averaged 22 miles per gallon of gasoline in it's entire life; lubricating oil has been very small, about 10v miles per gallon; we have averaged on fab ric tires 5000 to 12 900 miles, on cord tires, from I2,O0O to 10000 miles per set: the repair bill has been so small that we have not kept any record. We have owned several different makes of aUtomobils, but now there are six Franklins in the Merchant family and if there were more Merchants old enough to drive cars there would be more Franklins.
 We have found out that the biggest cost in operating any car shows in the depreciation, although few ever figure it. Franklin owners are urged to fig ure it. because no matter how far Franklin car has run or how many years it has served, it is, our records show, worth a larger proportion of its list price than any comparable car.
 Tt has been our experience that years and years of service are built in the Franklin car. It is impossible to build a car of finer material or closer workmanship. With it's light weight ana construction the Franklin has to be especially good. It's strength must come from quality and not from cast ircn.
 "The things a Franklin car will do do not seem real when told in words. They are so unusual.
 Tn Franklin car you simply can not feel a jolt. The car absorbs it before it gets to you.
 "Skidding in the Franklin is almost impossible. You can drive all day al 40 miles per hour over roads which are desperately uncomfortable in a much heavier car at half of the speed. But you can imagine what the superior driving comfort of a Franklin must be from the fact that Franklin owners hahitually tour from 200 to 400 miles rer day. Such easy travelling is not possible in other cars.

"A Utility semi-trailer with a one ton truck will provide a three-ton equipment at a saving in initial cost of from 5000 to S25GO. Obviously the cost c. operation Of the smaller truck will bc less than that Of the larger one. The semi-trailor construction, on a one-ton truck, will do the work of a tnree-ton truck and get around in tight places more easily. There are ten of them doing it in Phoenix now. ard il you don't believe they handle nicely, watch the boys from lumber wards back them," says C. Winfield hartranft.
 The Semi-trailer is an integral part Of the truck, being mounted on the frame with a fifth wheel of special con struction. With this equipment the load is placed on the trailer frame Ore load properly placed. sufficient weight on the truck to give traction and the balance on the trailer tires which are not subject to the driving friction experienced by those Of the truck. The semi trailer is rapidly re- placing other hauling equipment in Large cities where it is desirable to haul large loads and at the sa me time have q unit that Is easily handled in champed quarters.

ing little discourse on the whats and why's of storage battery theory and practice. I'm there to bet that the average life of the average battery in these parts would be considerably heightened if they absorbed my ad vice and that my job would be a more cheerful one. For even so husky a product as the 'Exide' is good deal like the garden variety of husband it's much better to live with when it's properly understood"

FREIGHT CAR DRIVE
Campaign Started to Safe

which has over 600 members,
leaders in the largest business
activities Of the state, and the
principles of which have been
endorsed by substantially all Of
the commercial body organiza-

Members of the association will
be asked to use their personal in

munities to secure loading to ca
pacity, prompt loading and un-
loading of freight cars and speedy
release Of equipment. The argu-
ment issmade that shippers who
make one car do the work of two
increase the supply available to
themselves and the public by 100
per cent.
Official posters reminding ship
pers that an increase of two tons
in the loaded cars would have
the immediate effect of adding
200,0 600 freight cars to the num-
ber now available in this country,
will be displayed at important
points.
John S. Drum, of San Francisco,
chairman for Northern California,
will direct the drive in this sec
tion of the state, while R. c. Gilhs,
of Los Angeles, will act in SIM
liar capacity for Southern Cali
fornia.
The Southern Pacific has
pledged the cooperation of its
agents who are being instructed
to do all in their power to expe-
dite shipments and to speed up
equipment.
The average freight car, ac-
cording to statement issued by
the association, is moving only
about 3 hours out of every "a,
the balance of the time being
consumed largely by free time
to shippers and delays in loadiug
or unloading. By cutting down
this "loafng period" the ques-
ton of car supply can be simpli-
fled, for freight cars work on the
principle of an endless chain: de-
lay anywhere holds up the ma
chinery. With the intelligent CO.
operation of shippers it is hoped
to make the best use possible out
of every car.
