To Fill Grease Cups.

To facilitate the filling of the
grease cups for the forward end OF
the universal joints, which are To-
Gated under the floorboards. drill
four holes through the floor board
directly over the grease cups. Con-
meet the holes with saw cuts, when
that section of the board will come
out. A slightly larger section should
be cut from the rubber mat and
four sections of sheet metal ,are
screwed Non the cut out block under
the section of rubber.

varying conditions of opera
tion are completely separated
in this construction. With

notched plates at their outer
ends which engage with The

through the shafts and are taken

In turning corners at speed these
endwise strains are considerable.
owing to the centrifugaI force which
tends to throw the car as a whole
out from the center of turning. In
such n case. the greater strain
comes on the outer driving shaft
as the weight of the car is thrown on
that wheel while the inner wheel Is

URGE FARMERS
TO BUY EARLY
Saving to Crops If Tractors
Are Ready for
Season.

Records of retail tractor sales
for more than five years show that
the farmers of America buy more
tractors in April and September
than at any other time in the year"
says Earl B. Stone, assistant adver-
tising manager of the Cleveland
Tractor Company.
And since these two months
mark the opening OF the busiest
season of seed-bed preparation. we
are forced to conclude that our far
mers wait until the very last minute
before selecting their tractors.
But this is practice which
sooner or later will cost the ma
jority of tractor owners a whole lot
of trouble and delay. and it has
already brought discredit upon
more than one worthy tractor. If
our farmers are to get full value
from their tractor investments, they
cannot wait until the season is on
before buying.
"A tractor. like any other piece
Of hauling machinery. whether IL is
mechanical or alive. must be broken
in gradually to bring out its full
efficiency. No farmer would think OF
driving his horses at a mid-season
pace after months of inactivity in
the barn. He knows their limita-
tions, and so works them easily for
, only a few hours at first, gradually
increasing the load and the hours
as sinews harden and their wind
improves. This method of building
up horse flesh is such common
knowledge to the farmer, that he
forgets or neglects to apply IL to
his tractor. But when the tractor
gives way under the sudden strain
of spring work. he refuses to con-
sIder himself in any way at fault.
Even the lesson learned from
their first automobile experience
falls to impress our farmers as
applicable to tractors. The auto
dealers wisely cautioned them to
take 1t easy at first. Some needed
the caution and became enthusias-
tic over their first machines, while
others stepped on the gas right
from the start, and they got moth

turn.
Delay Costly.
How much more this take-it-
easy warning should be \observed
when starting a tractor is evident
from the fact that a tractor motor
does more than twenty times the
work of an automobile engine in
travelling the same distance. II it
paid to give the automobile a thor
ough working in. it will pay ten
times over to give your tractor the
same care and attention.
NO farmer will ever get all he
is entitled to get from his tractor
Ii he buys Ii the day or the week
before he starts to plow. The trac-
tor will do its level best, of course
perhaps 1t will so through one
whole season without a hitch, but
he has shortened it's life. and in
last-minute purchases.
The timet to buy a tractor is a
month or two before 1t will be
needed for the hard job of breaking
ground and fitting the seed bed.
The farmers who are going to buy
this spring will save money by
making their purchase now. A
month or more of easy work will
get the new tractor, mt for the
strenuous day when II must some
times wofk twenty-feur hours

relieved to some extent of the shear
ing strains imposed by supporting
the weight of the car. The single
bearing at the inner edge of the
hub of each road wheel is on the
outside of the axle tube and this
bearing takes practically all of the
direct downward load imposed by
the axle housing. The shaft, how
ever, also at times takes up it's
share. particularly in the case of
sidewise blows or pressure at the
bottom of the wheel as in skidding
or swinging against a curb or

CAN'T STOP POKER PLAYING
TeehnicaIlty in Law Puts Stop to Cru- sads in Canadian
 Town.

Renfrew, Can. Renfrew town council finds that it cannot stop male citizens from playing poker. A cru sade against poker in Renfrew has fallen down because of a technicality in the law.
 Women complained to Mayor Bo- Ian that their husbands were losing money through indulging in the game. A detective was brought to town and the council was supplied with names, dates and places. Every thing was ready for arrests when the tgwn solicitor advised against court proceedings unless it could be shown that the persons on whose premises the gambling occurred were taking a ''rakeoff."
 The detective found that nobody was thus profting. Now the council finds itself just where 1t began, but with considerable information as to how poker is played in Ontario con- munities.

Court Decides Which

Mrs. Min ' .nie Kaiser Dunken, who proved a ceremonial marriage with Dunken in 1901, at Passaic, and who said she lived with him un- til he died, claimed to be his law full widow.
 The evidence disclosed that Dunken lived with the first wOm- an nearly 20 years, was known as her husband, and deserted her for the other woman. If the decision stands, Mrs. Anna Davidson will share Dunken's S15,OOO estate with his three sis ters.

PUBLIC SHOULD BE INTERESTED
 IN UTILITIES

The commercial prosperity of any industrial community naturally de- bends upon the prosperity of the man. ufacturers located there. and their ability to compete with manufacturers in other communities. No industrial community can grow and prosper un- less the nublic utilities serving that community are progressive and sue cessful In these day no manufac- turing center can develop without that cheap and flexible form of power SUD- piled by electric lighting and power companies.
 vidual living in any industrial com munity is vitally interested ill the successful operation of the electric Gght and power company serving that community. Individual manufacturers would find their production costs raised to q point where they could not compete with manufacturers located in other communities if they were obliged to generate their own power
 Just now. when there is so great a demand for electric service. it is ab- solutely necessary for the central sta tions or power companies to enlarge their plants and increase their facili- ties in order to keen pace with the de- mand if the community is to grow There is no pot of gold into which the public utility manager can plunge his l hand.

ELECTRICITY MUST
 BE STANDARDIZED

"The big need of the present day is for one kind of electricity. one ire quency and one voltage" declares Floyd Parsons in "Everybody's Busi- ness" in the Saturday Evening Post for June 26.
 There is absolutely no reason why we should not have the same stand ardized electric service in all our homes throughout the land. Such standardization would not interfere with the supply of direct or alternating current of special voltages or ire quencies for commercial and industrial establishments.
 For many years the public has suf- fered great losses and endured much annoyance from this lack of electrical standardization. It is also true that the electrical trade suffers in the mat ter through having to carry large sup plies of duplicate stocks for the vari- ous voltages and the different cur rents. Manufacturers of electrical ap- pliances are also penalized by having to provide large assortment of equip ment for variety of types of electric service. The responsibilitv for all this waste appears to lie entirely on the shoulders of the electrical industry as whole"

RAILROADS WILL SHORTLY BE RUN
 BY ELECTRICITY

The economies demonstrated by the the next year or two to bring about a great boom in the identification of the trunk lines of America. Financiers who at present seem conservative where the return is not immediate. may hold up the transformation of the railroads but it is obvious to every student of Americas industrial de- velopment that the electrified railroad is thing of the near future.
 The railroads are facing the neces- sity of purchasing new equipment to replace that worn out and to accomo- date increased traffic. To lay out great sums for steam power carriage would seem to be laying up useless equipment against the day when cleo tricity will supplant steam. Certainly. the recent figures of coal savings alone would seem to justify the belief that steam as railroad power is near the end of its usefulness.
