Better Valve Action

AT the same time that you grind
in the valves, clean the stems of all
foreign matter and make them
bright and shiny. You will get bet
ter valve action if these parts are
kept in good condition. A, good
way to remove all grit and carbon
from the stems is to clamp the head
of the valve in a wise between two
blocks of wood and wrap a narrow
strip OF emery cloth around the
stcm. Pull the strip back and forth;
at the same time move it UP and
down on the stem. A few strokes
will thoroughly clean the stem. but
you must be careful not to score the
metal bv pulling the emery cloth too
tight. Wipe the head clean of all
PARTICLES that might fall down on it,
before putting the part back in the
cylinder.-Motor Life,

Road Tested Motor.
Because of its exclusive features,
power, efficiency, flexibility, beauty
of design and comfortable riding
qualities, the new Cleveland Light
Six occupies a conspicuous place in
the light car field.
The Cleveland motor is OF ex-
elusive design and is the result Of
six years of careful study. This
motor was refined and perfected
while in successful operation on a
very large number of test cars-not
merely factory block tests, but in
actual road tests wherever severe
road conditions could be found. The
motor embodies a great many fea-
lures found in high priced cars.

Most Unmannerly

An English automobile publica-
ton in recent editorial thinks, 1T
is time something was done about
the use of the cutout." Particularly
in London, the writer complains, the
cutout has become "most unman-
nerly."
Wonder what the writer would
say, at,2 o'clock in the morning,
if he lived in a New York apart
ment house with a public garage in
the back yard.-Motor Life.

ANDECONOMY|S
COLE KEYNOTE
IA Miles to Gallon Gas and
$4,000 Miles On Original
Tire Equipment Other
Features.

Striking individuality, involving a
touch OF futurity, is exemplifed in
the assemblage of Cole Aero Eight
models, which are to occupy place
OF prominence at the Automobile
show this week.
Not IN many seasons has single
exhibitor displayed line of motor
cars embracing such startling inno-
Natlons as are found in the Aero
eights, shown by the Traynor Auto
company, Omaha Cole distributors.
The Aero-Eight models represent
marked departure from the staid
conventions of the past, both in en-
gineering and design" says Lou J..
Iraynor, manager OF the Traynor
company. Each of the nine models
IS creation which distinguishes it
as forerunner of a new vogue in
motor car building and recommends
itself Immediately to the discrimi-
mating.
Eighty Horse Power.
A car of 80 horsepower, which
averages $4,000 miles or more on the
original tire equipment and travels
from II TO IA miles consistently on
Z gallon of gasoline, naturally is 60
ing to gain widespread attention"
Originality is disclosed through
out the entire Aero-E.ght line from
the two-passenger roadster to the
seven-p passenger tasring car. In
design alone each model represents
the latest developments in motor car
fashions, transcending all previous
Cole achievements. Mechanically,
they provide an expanded range of
performance and an increased scope
of possibilities at a far lower cost
Of operation than heretofore has
been encountered, Cole officials de-
clare.
The lines of the Cole Aero-E Eight
are distinctly aerotype. The large
radiator, the massive cowl effect, the
straight lines of the body and the
manner in which it rests upon the
frame, identity it and mark it as a
distinctive engineering advance
ment.
Speed and Comfort.
The Cole Aero-Eight line COM
prises three open and one all-sea-
son models. The open cars, namely
tourster. roadster and sportster i'm
mediately impress with their style
and obvious power.
The Tourster, seyen-passenger
model, bespeaks speed, comfort and
economy. The Aero-Eight roadster
is rcplete with novel features and
conveniences which appeal to those
seeking a car with individuality. The
Sportster, as the name implies, is
distinctly sport model. capable Of
unusual speed and power and at the
same time providing ample comfort
ahd luxury for four passengers.
The Aero-Eight all-season model
at the show is the sport sedan,
equally adapted to touring on the
open roads and to town driving.

Guy Babcock represented Central
Wisconsin at a meeting of the state
advisory board of the Salvation Army,
Monday evening at the Hotel Plank
inton, Milwaukee, preceding the state
convention, Tuesday.
A startling amount of vice and un-
rest was revealed in the course of the
session where the confidential reports
of the county advisory boards on So
cial conditions were studied.
With only thirty-fve Of the seven
ty-one counties in the state reporting,
the advisory boards have found to-
tai of SIT illegitimata births outside
Milwaukee county.
A large drift towards the big cities
was discovered. With only thirteen
counties furnishing figures, the boards
showed total of 954 young women
who have left their homes and sought
work in the cities.
One hundred delegates from forty
counties had been accredited up to
Saturday noon, according to report
from state headquarters.

THE ROAD HOG

There ought to be some way to
catch the road hog speeders." Sew
eral weeks ago the writer was forced
out of the road and came near having
a serious accident, while the culprit
who was responsible drove on with
increased speed. Yesterday afternoon
Orvil Olsen, son of our county highway
commissioner was forced into the
ditch by big car between Deerbrook
and Kempster. The car was badly
wrecked, but he escaped without SER
ious injury. Instead of stopping to
see what happened the other driver
put on more speed and got away. A
driver who commits an act of
that kind is nothing less than mur-
derer. This man might have been
pinned under %he car and near the
point of death and yet this car speeds
away and leaves him to suffer and per-
haps die. And they s>ho are respon-
sible, the only ones near to render
assistance, leave him to suffer and
die without even stopping to lend
hand.-Stevens Point Journal

WOOD COUNTY
At STATE FAIR

Wood county held its place as one
of the leading dairy counties of the
state in its representation at the State
Fair. About seventy head of fine pure
bred dairy animals-from the Holstein,
Guernsey and Brown Swiss breeds
made up the County Cattle Exhibit.
Most of these animals were shown at
the Marathon County Fam held at
Wausau just previous to the State
Fair, and had little trouble in defeat
ing the best herds of our neighboring
county. The showing made at the
State Fair was a very creditable one.
The cattle had all been rounded up in
the early part of August so that hard
ly month was available for the prop
er fitting and conditioning of the show
herd. Wood County's Cattle Exhibit
with it's liberal array of advertising
material, County and Individual signs,
all hemmed in by the border of ever
green trimmings, attracted a great
deal of attention on the part of the
State Fair visitors. Wood county was
congratulated by the Fair officials on
its showing of dairy cattle.
A number of individual prizes were
won and in addition to these fourth
place was awarded our County Hol-
stein Herd, and the same place on the
County Cattle Exhibit as a whole.
Wilmer Drollinger with his fine
herd of Brown Swiss was the high
man in the prize winning for Wood
County With atotal of thirteen ami
mails shown, Mr.. Drollinger captured
sixteen prizes. Some of the prizes
may be named.
Aged bull-1st and Senior Champion

E. E. Royce showed several fine Hol-
stems taking 1st honors in the yr.
old heifer class C. F. Schroeder and
Sons. of Marshfeld, who carried off
Holstein honors at Wausau, also came
in for a share of the awards at the
State Fair. August Knospe of Vesper
J. C. Kieffer and Sons of Auburndale,
T. F. .SVannedum of Marshfield and Leo
Varsho of Hewitt were among the 9th
er Holstein contributors at the State
Fair. Clark and Jackson and A. P.
Bean of Vesper, with nice showings of
Guernseys also got into the money in
nice, shape.
Taken as whole the Wood County
showing was commendable. Plans are
already under way for the County Cat
tie Exhibit at the State Fair in 1921.
The animals to make up the County
Herd will be selected at an early date
next year, so that they may be prop
erly fitted for the big competition.

WOOD COUNTY DUROC
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

\ step in the right direction towards

last Saturday at a meeting Of num-
Der of the Duroc breeders of Wood
County at the City Hall in Marshfeld.
