Marshall Has 7wo
Hundred Tractors


From figures compiled from tax
assessors reports made In 1913. and
from estimated sales later In tho year
and this spring. It Is conservatively
estimated that there are now 20 farm
tractors In use In the county. This
10 an average OF nearly q dozen to
the township. The figures illustrate
the rate at which the tractor has
como into use. when 1t is recalled
that practically all OF these tractors
have been sold within tho last three
or four years.
The first count OF tractors was
made In 1918. when the number In
the county was placed ut sixty two,
When the assessors finished their
count the number had jumped to 1855
early in 1919. an increase Of loo per
cent In the year.

counties as represented by the 1918
count and the assessors returns In

S-Which Is the harder to over

At high rate of speed on good

Cylinder blocks are usually made
of cast iron because OF the ability
of this metal to Withstand the ex.

iron is considered more satisfactory.

LINN's PAVING PROGRAM.
County Getting Specifications for Sis
and Ono. Half Miles.

County Getting Specifications for Dix
and Ono Half Miles.
An extensive prospective program
of road Improvement in Linn county
this year, including the pavig Of six
and a half miles on the Lincoln
highway connecting Cedar Rapids
and Mt. Vernon, Is now awaiting the
completion Of plans and specihca-
lions which are being prepared by
the Iowa Highway commission.
In addition to the stretch OF road
mentioned the largest other item IN
the road program for the year Is
the bringing Of the Lincoln Highway
entirely across the county to q
finished grade ready for paving.
Specifications have been asked on
this by the, supervisors and 1t is
hoped that the plans will be received
and approved and bids let in time to
begin work early in the spring.
In their request to the highway
commission the supervisors asked for
specifications on the paving on the
basis of an eighteen-foot paved
roadway with the additional graded
widths for berms on each side. AZ
usual it is probable that the plans
will include specifications for at
least four kinds Of paving; concrete.
brick, fiber brick and asphaltic con-
crete. Bids will be asked on each
kind.

1-Why Ia 1t necessary to keep ex-
haust pipes and muffler clean?
It is necessary to keep exhaust
the burned gasses from exerting a
back pressure on the piston while
the gasses are being expelled from
the cylinder, which would cause a
waste of power.
2-Why should the spark be varied
according to engine speed?
The spark should be varied accord
ing to the rate Of speed of the en-
CINE. On high speed the spark
should always be advanced to ignite
the gas charge earlier in the cylin-
der. On slow speed, the explosion
should occur later. therefore a re-
tarded spark is necessary.
3-What are the purposes Of pis-
ton rings? Why are they split?
Piston rings are placed in grooves
on the pistons to take up remaining
space between them and the cylinder
wall IN give better compression.
They are split SO that they can ex-
pand enough to fill that space.
4-What is an anti-friction bear
ing? A bushing?
A bearing made of steel with balls
or rollers Is called an anti-friction
bearing. A bushing Is usually made
of bronze and has only q smooth
surface. no rollers, for friction.
5-What Is the stroke Of a piston
In proportion to the bore of q cyl
inder?
The piston strokes on some Of the
smaller cars is usually no longer
than the diameter Of the cylinder
bore. A long stroke motor has q
piston stroke considerably longer
than the diameter OF the bore.
g6--Which valve Is held open the
longest when the motor is running,
intake or exhaust?
The exhaust valve IL open the
longest time when q motor Is run
ming. A triiie more time is nyede1i
to allow the burned gases to escape
than to allow the gasolene vapors
to enter the intake valve.
7-What is the shape of q valve
cam? How does 1t open a valve?
IA valve cam is q flat cylindrical
disc OF steel, having bump or rails

SHAFT, comes in contact with the
