Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
Meeting Next Saturday

MeellilS NexL SATURDAY
You may have received a let.
ter this week asking you to take
out a membership in the farm
Bureau, and you may already
have taken one, if so just throw
the letter away. We sent the
letters not knowing at the time
just who had taken member
ships so if you are already a
member the letter does not
mean you.
We want all memberships
turned in by Saturday, and if
weather is good we will attempt
to organize but if roads are i'm.
'passable the organization will
have to be postponed until such
a time as folks can get over the
roads.
The American Federation
Whether the Charlton County
Farm Bureau affiliates with the
American Farm Bureau Fedora.
ton is to be determined by the
membership on the day we or
ganize. You can do it or not as
you may please. If We do afili-
ate only so cents of the member
ship is sent away, not "thous-
ands of dollars.
However, l am saying to you
II. all candor that l think it the
thing to do.
Too much is to be done that
We cannot handle in a local way.
We must see beyond our own
little circle, and in saying this to
you, | am saying it from no sell
fish motive. No personal inter-
est or gain can come to me, no
matter which way you turn,
hence, if l did not believe it best
for the farmers l certainly
would not suggest it.
The Fight on Farm Bureaus
There is a fight on this from
but one source that | know of
in all the United States. The
same kind of a fight can be
made on any man, or on the
teachers, the preachers or on the
church, or on any lodge, or So
ciety on earth.
The A. F. B. +. is not all |
would personally like to have it.
Neither is the farm bureau, or
the school or the country church.
My own work is by no means
what | would like it to be. The
farm clubs are not all we would
like them to be, yet, cannot see
that we should give no good
word to any of these because
they do not measure up entirely
to our own particular ideal. May
be one church could save US all
but then there are more church.
es. Maybe one lodge could sup.
ply goats" enough for US all
to take a ride, but there are 9TH
er lodges. Maybe one form of
farm organization should do for
all, but that is not the condition,
and it does seem to me to be
very anywise at this critical time
for one farm organization to be
putting on a fight on other farm
organizations.
There is work for US all and
much more we could do if we all
would pull together. / love to
see a good honest scrap, but we
cannot win the spurs" by call.
ing our adversary bad names.
Surely at this time there is nc
intelligent man who will claim
that there are no problems that
must be solved a national way,
or that all our troubles are here

in this country who do not think
all the wisdom and vision" is
within any one skull and these
are big enough to see a gigantic
work for every farm organiza-
ton that will take its place in
the ranks and play an honest
game, and not try to make our
selves seem very great by tell
ing how small the other fellow
is.
Sheep Meetings in May
Beginning May 2Oth we will
hold meetings over the county
in the interest of sheep men.
Special attention will be given
to grading and pooling wool.
Watch the papers for dates and
meeting places.
Wool Pool Committees are now
appointed and ask the chairman
of the Committee for your terri
tory for particulars. Names
follow. B. C. Smutz, County
Chairman and Chairman of
Brunswick Com, Salisbury c.
W. Garhart, Mendon D. R. Nc
Allister, Chairman of Brunswick
Com, Rothville, Lon Richeson,
KeytesvilIe j. M. Hershey,
Chairman, Sumner, Ira Taylor,
Chairman.
These men can name their CON-
mitteemen to you. All have
Wool Consignment blanks.
Conditions look good but so
far we do not have sufficient in
formation to say what is likely
to happen but it does seem evi.
dent that the early prices will
mot be the best ones.

SPRINGS SHOULD BE
GIVEN PROPER CARE
Leaves Slide Upon One Another
When Car Moves.
Mud, Dirt and All Foreign Matter Can
BE Excluded by Covering with
Boots-oood Grade Of leath-
er Substitute Favored.

The leaves Of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon one another
when the car is in motion. Many car
owners allow the springs to get dirty,
to go without fabrication and to be-
come very rusty. The leaves become
SO dirty that instead Of sliding on
each other, they work almost as II
they were one solid piece Of steel.
Then, when the car strikes hole or
a bump In the road the springs are
compressed and instead Of each leaf
working as a separate unit, the lower
leaves Of a rusty spring are held fast
to the upper leaves. The reaction
from the compression Of such n spring
is many times greater than the reac-
ton of n clean, well fabricated spring
where the leaves are allowed to slip
on one another as they should.
The first step toward remedy Is to
keep mud and dirt and all foreign
matter away from the springs. This
can be done effectively by covering
them with boots. Some supply stores
carry covers to fit good range Of
sizes Of springs, but II you can't buy
them already made, you should be able
to make them yourself, sewing them
together Of leather or good grade Of
leather substitute, advises Motor Life
Magazine. The advantage OF the latter
material Is that II Is much cheaper
than leather, and being waterproof, It
will keep dirt and moisture away from
the springs.

tering knock. II is located by olsen
gaging the clutch and rocking the fly.
wheel back and forth. The trouble Is
caused by improper fitting, loose bolts,
broken bolts or bad keys and splines.
To Discover Loose Piston.
A loose piston gives very short
knock, its clearness varying with the
size of the cylinder aud metal used in
the piston. It can be located very
easily by the use of the listening ap.
paratus against the cylinder wall. 1t
is caused by a large bore, small piston,
or taper piston or bore.
Successful hunting for these trou-
bles requires a great deal Of expert
ence that can be obtained only by con-
tinued practice, which develops the
sense so that not only are the different
knocks easily distinguished, but they
are also speedily located.-Popular
Science Monthly.
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1920-04-24

Pull up the engine hood every go often
and listen carefully. A little prao-
tlee will enable you to detect trou.
Bile.
IF the rod is very loose the knocks can
be located by turning the engine with
the crank. This trouble Is caused by
twisted rod, loose bearing, scored
bearing, burned.out bearing, or side
play. With n seized or burned.out
bearing the motor will groan or stick
In starting.
The main-bearlng knocks are readily
located by running two cylinders at
time, one on each side of the crank
bearing. A hard bump will be notice
able throughout the motor, produced
regularly with the firing of the two
cylinders. Such knocks are caused by
end play In the shaft, loosely fitting
bearings, or a scored or burned-Out
bearing. In the latter two instances
the motor will groan upon starting
cold.
A loose plston.pin Is distinguished
by a sharp metallic knock. 1t can be
located by using the listening rod for
each cylinder and speeding up the
motor, then closing the throttle sud
denly. BY doing so a double knock
will be noticeable, which is very sharp
and better termed a rap. The knocks
are caused by crooked or broken pin
or by a tight or badly worn member.
A loose nywheel will produce a very
heavy knock ut low engine speed, and
will appear regularly. The knock will
change its nature entirely when the
motor Is speeded up and the vibration
Of the shaft will produce dull. chat

VARIOUS KNOCKS
OF AUTO ENGINE
One Of Most Delicate Problems
Amateur Motorist Has to
Deal With.
LISTENING DEVICES ASSIST
Each Faulty Motor Part Has Different
Sound, Which Comes In Regular
Periods-Experienee Obtained
by Practice.

One of the most delicate problems
the amateur motorist has to deal with
Is that Of distinguishing between and
locating various engine knocks. While
there are numerous listening" devices
on the market, experience is. as usual,
the best teacher. and will enable you
to repair 1t before 1t develops into
serious trouble. A few of the mysteri-
Gus knocks are described below.
The more experience one has In lis
tening to knocks, the more expert will
one become In finding them and telling
what Is loose. Each faulty motor part
has different knock, which comes al
ways In regular periods relatively to
the speed of the engine.
Locating the Trouble.
A loose connecting.rod produces a
sharp bump or q very heavy hollow
sound. 1t is easy to locate the faulty
connecting-rod by running but one
cylinder at time, In which case two
bumps are usually noticeable, due to
the relief Of the explosion pressure.
