LALLEY LIGHT and POWER
For Farms and Rural Homes
Announcement!

We have secured the exclusive fran
chise for selling the well-known Lalley
Electric Light and Power Plant in this
territory.
For some time we have noticed that
the progressive farmers of this section
are realizing that economical and re-
liable electricity is just as important
if not more so-to the proper develop
ment of their farming business and to
the comfort of their homes. as the tsle-
phone, the daily mail. the automobile,
and the most valuable labor-saving
farm machinery.
1t is our intention to give the residents
of this community the very best ma
terial and the best of service for its
maintenance.
When we decided to sell an electric
light and power plant. we set out to
secure that plant which. in our opinion.
had proven itself to be the most reli-
able, the most economical. and inevery
way the best investment for ourpatrons.
We chose. the Lalley Light plant. ma
troit. Michigan. one of the largest m
farm electrical equipment.

FAILURE TO CHANGE OIL IN

It Is commonly known among per-
Sons conversant with automobile
motors that the greatest possible
deterioration 20 machinery. especially
automobile engines, Is due to the
failure 70 change oil frequently in
the crank-case. But the average
mOtorist forgets. after being eau
TONED, this one detail, and too often
his f0rEetfulness leads him into
trouble. Annually thousands OF motors
are consigned TO the junk heap long
before the cars other machinery has
lost its usefulness.
Recently an experiment was made
that cast new light upon the subject
and Il Is expected that as a result
vigorous campaigns will be carried
on By automobile manufacturers and
oil dealers against the untimely
wreckinE OF motors from oil pollu-
ton. The experiment proves be-
yOnd a doubt the value Of changing
oil every few hundred miles.
A motor, filled with a good grade
Of fresh oil, was run continuously for
60 hours, during which time the oil
was changed three times. When the
motor was taken down II showed no
signs OF wear. The same motor vas
reassembled, allowed TO run another

second test showed a wear Of o.o05-in-

 c. Craven of the American Humane So- ciety, who reached the city last evening and is to lecture on humane work at several of the public schools of the city today and give an illustrated talk on the work at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium tonight at o'clock.
 MT. Craven is here cooperating with the local humane society and is advising them on the furtherance of their Work He is organizer and lecturer of the Amer ican Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. lie 1 is now touring the South in the interest 1 of his organization and states that con ditions surrounding treatment of animals and orphaned children in the South are 1 up to the average of the country, but there is room for improvement.
 Among the things in line with his work that Mr. Craven is advocating in the south particularly is the production of a | better grade or animals and interesting the school children of this and other 1 cites towards securing their co-opera- tion in the promotion of humane work. "It seems to me that Birmingham IS | the logical city in the southeast to lean | in the humane work. New Orleans has splendid society, but l think that Bir-
 mingham, due to her already advanced
 work and her enthusiasm, is the natural leader of the southeast in this splendid work, MT. Craven said.
