Another Jump in Potato Prices.

Potato prices are still jumping
skyward tand Russets yesterday came
within 10 cents Of striking the six
dollar mark, while other varieties,
with the exception of Triumphs,
which are almost out of season, have
advanced on an average of Is cents
per cwt. Only a few weeks ago the
Union predicted that eating stock
would reach the IS notch, but now
the height to which prices may ascend
is merely conjectural- probably seven
or even eight dollars per cwt.
Most of the warehouses in town
have only small quantity Of pota-
toes on hand, and the receipts are not
large Notwithstanding the big prices
offered.
1t is estimated that not more than SO
or 60 carloads of potatoes now remain
in growers hands.

Migratory birds are arriving daily
and it is expected that this year we
shall have more songsters with us than
ever before. Federal and state laws
that protect these birds, thousands of
which, largely robins, were formerly
slaughtered in the south for food
make this possible. Be- good to the
songsters while they are here by furn,
ishing them with drinking water in
your yards and making it point tc
see that their nests are not disturbed
They will repay you hundred folG
by eating the bugs in your gardens
and singing their delightful carols il
your tees and shrubbery.

A Letter From Miss Triple,

The many friends of Miss Adeline
Triple, who is in Armenia, will be
pleased to hear that letter has been
received from her-the first since she
reached her station, which is at Sivas,
far in the interior. But as the letter
is dated November 80, 1919, it does not
carry much assurance as to her pres
ent safety.
The letter she wrote describing her
trip into the interior has been lost, as
she mentions having written, and the
number on this letter shows that one
has been missed
Miss Triple has charge of an
orphanage containing 500 Armenian
refugee boys. She speaks most low
ingly of her charges-says she never
saw children more appreciative of
care and kindness.
She speaks Of the difficulty in find
ing suitable teachers Tor the bows as
the best of the adult Armenians in
that district have been killed, the
Turks having special grudge against
the educated ones.
She mentions-rather uneasily-
that rumors had just reached them of
trouble at Marash and says: eve
hope it is not true. We don't want
things to get~stirred up. Oh, it is a
mysterious country One never really
feels safe a minute"
Last weeks Literary Digest con-
tains picture Of the near east mis-
sion at Marash, Cilic1a, where Ameri-
can relief workers were beseiged for
three weeks. The article says that
one-half of the town of Marash was
burned and that over five thousand
Armenians were massacred, so evil
IDENTIFY the rumors Miss Triple had
heard proved to be true.
She had just returned from spend
ing Thanksgiving in Caesarea. There
had been a gathering Of American re-
lief workers and they had spent a
jolly happy day together. She says
that never before had she ridden in an
auto so fast for hours at time as on
this trip. Caesarea is several hum
dred miles distant from Sivas and they
were only absent four days from the
mission.
Following are some extracts from
Miss Triples letter: GLOW few and
far between my letters are! I make

Even the bitterest enemies of the re-

constructive party platform adopted
last Saturday at the republican state
convention was the most splendid
declaration of sound principles that
has ever been made. Not only has no
public question been sidestepped, but
such recommendations and pledges
have been made that no one who seeks
the highest good for this state or ma
ton has any cause for hesitating as
to whether the platform should be
adopted as their creed It first
pledges devotion to the constitution

SUPER SIX SHOWS WONDERFUL
 ROAD PERT ORINANCE

Driving Hudson Super six for 25 hours. with stops only for gas, oil and water is d truly wonderful performance and Chet Goldberg is loud in his praise of the car that he drove to Los Angeles in this remarkable time. In describing his trip in a letter writ ten to Cal Aessner. he said that he drove continuously through the night and experienced neither tire trouble nor any other minor difficulties.
 The motor ran extremely cool and smooth. This was particularly notice able through the great heat of the des- ert and the deep heavy pulling in the sand Although heavily loaded with baggage, he averaged 15 1-3 miles to the gallon of gas for the entire trip and the oil consumption was extremely low, using only three quarts of oil.
 MT Goldberg reports the roads east of Parker as being very sandy but from there on they are in fair condition on until Barstow is reached. From Barstow to Los Angeles which is 146 miles, the roads are very good. The latter distance was driven in a little over five hours which made an average of 2 miles per hour for the trip from Phoenix to Los Angeles. After arriv- ing in Los Angeles, the car was found to be in as Food condition as the day it was turned out of the factory.

VALVE TIMING

In our previous article we considered the subject of valve systems and the ills that commonly afflict them and the proper cures to apply. The subject of valve timing is so intimately involved with valve operation and engine eff ciency that it follows naturally after the former discussion, and it certainly deserves an article to itself
 To begin with, it must be understood that in the four cycle engine now uni versally used each valve is opened and closed once for every two revolutions of the crankshaft, the camshaft which actuates the valves turning at just half the speed of the crankshaft. The inlet valve is opened when the piston is at the very top of it's suction stroke or just after is has begun to descend. When the piston comes up again on the compression stroke the inlet valve is closed, otherwise some of the fuel would be driven out of the combustion chamber Then comes the explosion and the downward power stroke, dur ing both of which both valves remain closed When the piston has nearly reached the bottom of the power stroke the exhaust valve opens and remains open during the upward Scavenging stroke to allow the burned gases to be driven out of the cylinder. All these various openings and closings must be accurate to a degree or the efficiency 0A NAAC G1A54lAC ID idA ely 1OSNs eAAANA li1Ao accuracy depends principally on proper valve timing.
 It must be understood that valve timing is not an adjustment; indeed, it is not often necessary, for once the valves are properly timed they remain so until the engine is taken down for some reason. But once the timing is disturbed it is vitally important that it shall be properly assembled again if the engine is to function properly.
 Before taking down the engine the gears should be carefully inspected for markings that will enable them to be assembled again as they were before. Usually there are marks on the cam shaft and camshaft gears, either round indentationS or lines stamped on the teeth. By turning the crank these

volved to a position where the inlet valves just begin to open. The inlet camshaft is then slipped into mesh and the timing is complete.
 Where the valve gear is chain driven the same procedure is followed, except that at the psychological moment in stead of meshing gears the chain is slipped on.
 In V-type engines, such as our eights and tweIves, there is generally only one camshaft, which is placed between the cylinder blocks at the base of the V. The procedure in these cases is just the same as with the conventional type of vertical engine.

the cold weather and I would like to
 know if I must have the battery charged at intervals? CD If you wish
 to make a trip in the daytime and the
 battery is fully charged is there any
 danger Of overcharging? @ Is there
 any danger of running a very short
 distance with the generator terminals
 removed? (D What makes bubbles come out of the battery solution?
 A 0) If the car is left standing for a week or so at a time add water weekly, test the solution and if it drops below 1.25 run the engine to bring it up to 1.30 or very near that If the ] cars is to stay in the garage for a few months remove the battery and let the service station store it for you. CD There is little danger of overcharging; l rather the reverse is true in most

marks are made to come together. In cases where chain drive is used the marks are usually placed on the timing gear case.
 In reassembIing the ordinary gear driven valve gear, it is only necessary to turn over the crankshaft until the mark on the crankshaft gear gets to the point where the camshaft gear meshes and then slip the camshaft gear into mesh so that the two marks coincide In the chain driven type the crankShaft is revolyed until the mark on the crankshaft gear coincides with that on the gear case next to it. The camshaft is now turned independently until it's mark coincides with the cor responding mark on the gear case, when the silent chain is slipped over the gears.
 In the rare cases where no marks have been put on the parts the car owner should mark them himself with a punch. But even if some accident should make it necessary to retime the gears without any marks to guide him the owner need not despair By using the marking on the flywheel he can do the job without much trouble. The common method of marking the 1 flywheel is to mark the dead center of | every cylinder. The only thing neces- sary to find is the upper dead center of number one cylinder. Having found
 this, the camshaft may be slipped
 into mesh, for which the first cylinder properly timed the others will certainly
 be correctly timed, too.
 In cases where the design embodies
 two camshafts the same procedure of | finding number one upper dead center
 should be followed. This will time the
 exhaust shaft, which may then be slipped into mesh. Next the degree at which the inlet should open is obtained from the instruction book and laid of
 on the flywheel. The flywheel is then
 turned to that position and held sta- l fiOnafv unfiI the inlet camshaft is re-
