When Every Hour Counts

You know there will be no delays in haying,
harvesting, threshing, or any tractor work on
the farm, when you have the Twin City 1920.
You can clean up all these jobs at the right
time-in quick time-and be ready for your
fall blowing. .
For there are no uncertainties about the Twin
City. The best that tractor science has pro-
duced is built into this tractor. Its 16-valve
(valve-in-head) engine delivers full power
because it exhausts all burnt gases, leaving a
clean cylinder for each new charge. This
means more power from the fuel-more power
applied to the work-real fuel economy you
can see.
With the Twin Citys great surplus power you
have the rugged strength and light weight

Gear Shifting Is Difficult.

F. NJ. D. asks: What Is the rea-
son for the gears of my car shifting
hard? The lever moves with diff
Guilty into the low gears position and
there is that growing noise as If
the cogs scraped together. when
shifting into any position. The gears
run in oil.
Answer: The most common cause
for the levers moving hard is that
the lubricant in the gearbox Is al
most solid. The use of too stin
grease, especially during cold wealth
er. will almost prevent the sliding
of the gears. You say that oil is used,
but are you sure that does not be-
come very thick from cold? Lack of
oiling of the joints in the gear-shift-
ing mechanism will make it work
hard. On modern cars. these are oiled
from the splash Of the gears, but in
oiling. Sometimes the shifting mocha
nism becomes sprung. from rough
usage, and then 1t works hard. The
usual cause of the grinding of gears
is the failure Of the clutch to fully
disengage. If the pedal does not have
full movement, if the oil is too sti1

J. E S. writes: I am operating a
Ford on kerosene and the maker of
the carburetor has advised me to re-
duce the compression of the engine by
inserting another gasket under the
cylinder head. because kerosene will
not stand the compression that gaso-
line will. My engine runs we'll on ker-
osene. just as it is. Will the addi-
tional gasket result in more power?
Answer: There is no reason to think
that putting in the extra gasket will
give you more power. but rather the
contrary. If your engine does not
knock, we should advise you to leave
matters as they are. The reason for
fitting the extra gasket is to do away
with the knocking that the use OF
Kerosene generally causes, but as
you say your engine is running well.
there seems no need of any change.
If il should commence to knock. you
might try the additional gasket.

vision for the prompt construction of
the road from Winchester to Front
Royal, which is regarded by the
people Of that section as one of the
most important roads to be included
in the state highway system, as it is
about the only route that gives an
outlet from that section of the state
to Fredericksburg and eastern vir-
ginia.
Five state roads now converge at
Winchester, and each Of them is one
of the important highways of the
state system. This is regarded is no
more than natural. because of the fact
that Winchester is the northern gate

NORWALK KICKS ON COST OF THE
 OLD BALLOT

South Norwalk, Conn.,, Oct. 13.- Following a vote of the city council to return to the use of the Australian ballot at the coming election instead of using voting machines, as has been the custom of the past eight years, a near list fight was precipitated be- tween Mayor Jeremiah Donovan, and Jeremiah Egan, Democratic registrar of voters in South NorwaIk, over re- marks made by the mayor with ref erence to the presence of certain of the registrars at the council meeting last night. Mayor Donovan turned to the section of the room where the registrars were sitting and asked them if they did not plan some attack on the city treasury by being present at the meeting"
 ~ Registrar Egan called Mayor Don. ovan down for this remark and also for his actions in refusing the regis trars advice on the matter of return ing to the old ballot system. It was claimed by the mayor that the vot- ing machines would not accomodate the 5000 or more voters that are ex- poet cd at the election in NorIva k while the registrar; claim that the machines could handle the ipdtI. Per sonai attacks rapidly led to bitter de- lluncia;ions of each other resulted when the Mayor and Registrar Egan exchanged views on the matters con- cefnin= the running Of the city. Friends separated them wEe-i they were brandishing thei- fists in each others faces. The return to the bal rt system is decidedly unpopular in :<Crwa;<, and will prove expo nsive. ls being es:imate:. last night that the cost of .lI!s election would be Tn the ncighborhoo0 of S5.000, as the old

Judge Bartlett continued the case until Oct. l6, and released both of the accused in bonds of $50 each. Both are said to have admitted to the ringing of the alarm but decline to give any reason for their action.
 Fire Chief Daniel E. Johnson said this morning that he is Investigating the matter and that he believes the two young men arrested last night are responsible for the turning in of the numerous alarms in the past three months which has called out the fire apparatus on needless runs. This stunt of calling out the fremen when the occasion does not warrant has reached a stage where some strong means of prosecution must be taken to guard against repitition of the offense," said Chief Johnson this morning, "and if our investigation shows that the two men arrested last night are guilty we will prosecute them through the proper channels to the full extent of the law"
 Chief Johnson also stated this morning that great credit should be given to Patrolmen Heigel and Lal1ey of the Second precinct, who captured the two men after a chase of several blocks
