THIS YEAR WILL
 SEE MORE CARS
 SAYSLOCAL MAN

1T predict that the year 1920 will see more uses of the automobile and mo- tor truck than 19I9," says Geo. H. Reuben, local KiSsel distributor.
 Tt has become so interwoven in our activities, in our social. industrial. business, governmental and profeS- Sional activities, that people have come To look upon it as a matter of course and a necessity they cannot get along without.
 Hotels have started to put up their own garages, and parking places-the same is true of department stores and apartment houses Even manufactur- CTS and aindustries have their parking spaces for the automobiles of their em- ployes.
 Farmers are erecting garages just as attractive as those in the city and in every small community the garages are the most up-to date and imposing buildings in town. No matter where the mOtorist drives he has up-to-date service and source of supplies just as efficient and up-to-date as if he was at home.
 The motor truck has become the business mans freight line making him less dependent on the railroads for receiving and shipping goods and supplies. This is particularly true of short line hauls as the motor truck has been proven the most economical labor and time saver in hauling distances of l to 800 miles.
 The mammoth good roads program laid out by each state insures that within a couple of years America will be the home of good roads, enabling automobile and motor trucks to drive across the continent without getting off of improved highways and by ways
 Take it altogether 1920 will be record motor year from every stand point and in all walks of life. It has become one of the leading industries Of the country and takes front rank in it's accomplishment in the matter of in creased production, economy and eff ciency"

washers will cure the trouble.
 Ford Manifoids

Trouble often results from careless ness in replacing the ruanifolds of the Ford car. This occurs when the small gasket collars do not make airtight joints It is well to fasten these gas- kets in the holes in the manifold by using small pieces of paper to wedge them in and then adjusting the mani fold to the holdes in the cylinder. This plan obviates dropping them or getting them out of true.
 Overheating
 X car owner recently devised an in- cenious automatic safeguard against overheating. The ground for the igni- ton current was made by soldering a copper wire to the top of the rear cylinder. Just as soon as heat enough develops in the cylinder the solder is melted and the engine automatically stops.
 Valve Grinding
 In grinding valves very small amount of emory paste should be smeared on the bevelled edge of the valve, considerable pressure should be used on the grinding tool and tho valve should he turned only half way

SALESMEN MUST BE EXPERTS ON CARS
 THEY SELL PUBLIC

Everywhere throughout the land there is a sweeping reform in motor gar buying" says John D. Mansfield, general sales manager of the Dort Mo- tor Car company There was a time when purchasers were wont to take Tor granted every word that salesmen old them about a car. Nowadays it is different

They know Inc most approved type of engineering practice Our dealers tell us it is sur prising the number of prospects that come to them and when they get into B technical explanation regarding some feature, the prospective buyer usually says, Yes we know this feature is right and we would like to know some thing about the rear axle, etc. Today It is a hard thing for a motor car salesman to sell prospect on some thing he knows nothing about"

 Tube Valve
 Frequent removal of the core of an air valve will generally impair the holding ability of the small rubber washer. A small screw having a groove lengthwise on one side and threads to fit the inner part of the valve may be run down so as to press on the core and keep the valve open until the air can escape, without its being necessary to remove the core.
 Stale Gasolene
 After it has stood for several days, even in a tight tank, gasolene will be- come dead and slow to ignite. This is partly due to evaporation and partly to chemical changes that take place.

 The porcelean of spark plug may be made almost as clean as new by soaking it in carbon bisulhpide.

Tips To Auotoists
Oily Plugs


 There are several causes of oil col Iecting on the points of the spark plugs. One of these is the use of too heavy a lubricating oil. If this trou- ble is persistent try mixing pint or kerosene with each gallon of oil. This may cure the trouble.
 Deep Mud
 When the car is stuck in deep mud and the wheels cannot get any pur- chase try wrapping the tire chains bodily around the tire and rim of the wheel so that they make q big bunch and then fasten them with strap or some wire. Turn on low gear slowly and carefully and generally the wheels will get grip enough to pull the car out.

HUDSON SUPER SIX
 LOWERS RECORDS ON
 CROSS NATION TOUR

The endurance shown by the Hud- son super-efx three years ago when it made the round trip from San Fran CISCO and return in a total lapSed time of 10 days and 21 hours, has again been Strikingly demonstrated in the recent setting of a new cross continent record" declared Cal Messner today.
 This time, however, it was an owner driving and the record was for de- probability and not for speed. Leav- ing New York on June 3 in their Hud- son super-six. Lieutenants M. B. Value and T. w. Carpenter, made a 1eisurely, sightseeing trip to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco, taking approxi- mately two months to cover 4,700 miles
 But the notable thing about their journey was that not a single adjust ment of any kind was made on the car. the only trouble encountered being the replacement of one damaged spark plug. Even the tires went through without a single puncture.
 The two army men followed the Lincoln highway to Chicago where they passed a week visiting friends. From the Windy City they drove to Davenport, Iowa, and then over the River-to-River road to Omaha from where they took the O. l.. D. trail to Denver. Before leaving Denver they climbed Pike's Peak, taking the Pikers Peak highway to Los Angeles, after wards going to San Francisco.
 After leaving Chicago, the worst roads were encountered in Iowa while the best, outside of California, were in Nebraska and Utah although those in Nevada and Arizona were good. At the end of the journey. both men united In declaring that if they were to make the trip over again they would much rather do it in their super-six than in a passenger train

THE HAM-RAMsEY REVIVAL

The greatest and most far-reaching
revival ever held in this section OF
the state closed last Sunday evening
having been in progress four weeks.
with result of more than 500 souls
being brought to Christ
The meeting was conducted by
Revs. M. F. Ham of Anchorage, KY,
and w j. Ramsey of Chattanooga,
Tenn, under the auspices of the
Baptist, Cumberland Presbyterian,
U. s. A. Presbyterian, ard Method
ist denominations, and was partici-
pated in by thousands of people of
all denominations, all of whom de-
clare with one accord that it was the
most wonderful outpouring of the
Holy Spirit ever witnessed by them,
and that its good effects will be felt
for all time to come. Everyone seem
ed to be sorry that the meeting had
to come to a close, and unanimous
vote was taken in an audience Of
more than three thousand for anoth-
er meeting to be held by Revs. Ham
and Ramsey in August of next year.
Mr. Ham Is a broad minded, high
ly cultured man of God, and his gos-
pei sermons were delivered In such
pleasing style and manner as to
reach the hearts of his hearers and
send conviction to all agen and clas-
ses. He has a great store of know
ledge, together with a gift Of person
al magnetism and simplicity of ex-
preston, which combination makes
him one of the really great evange-
lists Of his day.
Mr.. Ramsey, who conducted the
choir in this great meeting. is no less
master Of his profession than is
his co-worker. His choir of 200 .voic-
es gathered from the different
churches of the town were trained by
him as If by magic, and no better
music was ever heard in the state
than was rendered throughout this
series of meetings. Mr.. Ramsey's
cal talent from seven to seventeen
years of age, and trained one hour
per day for only five days, gave
program during one evening of the
meeting, which was pronounced the
most successful musicaI event ever
given in Cookeville. It was wit
messed. by about 1000 people, and was
certainly scene never to be forgot
ten by those who were in attendance.
The local churches have been
kept busy since the close of the meet
ing, taking new members into their
folds, and many OF the churches
throughout the county will add new
names to their rosters as a result OF
this most glorious revival.
