BIC RANCH COMPANY BUYS IMPLEMENTS BY THE WHOLESALE LOT

Probably one of the largest single sales in the valley of implements, machinery and ranch supplies was consumated the past week, when the Gila Land & Cattle company purchased two carloads of equipment for their ranch at Gila Bend from the O. s, Stapley company. totaling better than a $15.999 sale. .
 The Gila Land & Cottle company, re- gently reorganized, have 4500 acres, 1900 of which will be in cotton and alfalfa this year, the balance to be put in condition, for another year. While the company receives water from the Gila river. to avoid pos sible. water shortage, big pumping plants are being installed.
 Some of the equipment purchased was two 15-30 and two 10-20 Titan tractors, four International tractor disc harrows. four International trac- tor disc blows, twelve drag harrows. six walking blows, two Columbia flexible disc harrows. twelve large tents, four wheeled scrapers, two Bain

AL|TTLE TALK ON AUTOPERFECT|ON
What is perfectione 2

What is perfection.
 The expert draftsman will draw a line, admit that it is the shortest dis tance between two points, yet will not admit that it is perfectly straight.
 Great men are constantly reminding us that no human accomplishment reaches perfection. To the naked eye. or to the ear. or to any of the senses. tests with instruments disclose that it is not
 Judged by these standards, vibration in an automobile cannot be entirely eliminated In fact, the very delicate instrument which is used to detect vii brations in the rotating parts of the Franklin engine discloses a very sig nificant fact: the fine big solid metal and stone factory building in which this instrument is located is actually vibrating all the time.
 The sensitive needle on the dynamic balancing machine shows that the fac tory building is constantly vibrating about 1-1000 of an inch. Of course, no human could detect vibration of 2-1000 of an inch or even 3-1OOO of an inch without the use of instruments Yet, this machine sets 3-IO0O as the standard that the revolving parts of every Franklin engine have to meet before they will be passed by the in- SpectorS.
 The rotating parts of the Franklin engine are the crankshaft, the fly wheel and the clutch. Even while these parts are in the process of manu- facture-before they are assembled they are subjected to tests to insure balance of weight. And again after they are assembled, they are subjected to a second standing balance test. The standing balance test is simple and the corrections for unbalanced weight are easily understood The parts are placed on level roilway; the rollway is mounted on concrete base An off, balance as small as one tenth of an ounce can be detected by these stand

for anyone. Tie the line between two trees about four feet from the ground. Put about seven feet of the canvas on the ground over a. xbed of dreid grass, leaves or straw. Throw it over the clothes line and bring the loose end back to the corners on the ground. Have the canvas fitted with gaskets and tie the corners back to couple of small stakes. and crawl under.
 Stake the sides down over the straw bed. The ends can be pinned shut with large safety pins if the night Is cold. If you want an open shelter for a day, loosen and raise the top corners of your canvas and stretch them at the desired height with clothes line run . hing to nearby trees or over poles which you can cut along the way and back to small stakes as guy lines.

ing balance tests. The corrections consist of removing material from the heavy side cf the part.
 Then comes the dynamic balance test-the last word in inspection methods. The dynamic balancing machine. like the standing balance equipment is mounted on a concrete base to exclude as much as is possible of the vibration of the building. The rotating parts are rotated at engine speed, and any unbalanced force is quickly disclosed by an indicator. An unbalanced force of 14 Of an ounce is only sufficient to shake the hood of a car. Many new automobiles in the fine class have vibrations as noticeable as that represented by an off balance of A ounce.

CRACKED WATER JACKET

A cracked water jacket may be mended at home, if the car owner is a moderately handy workman. Drill a small hole at each end of the crack and tap it for a small copper plug. Next scrape the surfaces near the crack until the metal is bright. Cover the crack with soft copper filings and melt them in with a blow torch. Use flux of roSin dissolved in alcohol.

CLEAR VISION

Here is a simple recipe for obviating the obscuring of the windshield glass by moisture in the fall days that are upon us. Rub the glass all over with strong soapsuds and permit the suds to dry. This prevents the formation of the small grobules that hinder clear vision through the glass in rain or mist.

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"AIN'T."

CAN'T"
TN THESE articles, ONE of the more
Il common errors in speech and writ
ing are pointed out. Careful study Of
these short lessons, with the use Of a
standard grammar, will assist the
reader In acquiring the habit of speak
ing and writing correctly.
one Of the most common orrors Is
the use Of "ain't." This word is q
combination of the verb "am" and the
adverb, mot" or of the verb are" and
the adverb not" Very many persons
say she amt" "shc amt or II amt
but few, if any, of them would say "he
am not" or che are not" Indeed, while
the use Of "ain't" with 81" or 1--WE" or
"you" or they or plural nouns is,
strictly speaking. grammatically cor
rect, the use of "ain't" is certainly in
elegant and is condemned by many
authorities on English grammar. II
should disappear altogether from the
language, in spite Of its long history.
Correct usage is: IL am not" or I'm
not; che, she or 1t is not, or isn't;
