VACUUM TANKS
EASY TO ADJUST,
EXPERT PROVES
Internal Repairs to This Type of
Feed Are Rarely Necessary
and Tests Are Simple.

II is very unlikely that internal
repairs will ever have to be made
TO the vacuum chamber of the
vacuum tank, as IL is a very simple
construction and there are not many
things which could interfere with
its functioning. Before any attempt
is made to take the tank apart, the
owner should be positive that II Is
the cause of trouble.
IL is always possible to test the
tank by opening the pet cock at the
bottom and II more than one-sixth
of quart of gasoline flows out. 1t
Is certain that the system is per-
forming Its function properly, writes
an automotive engineer in Motor.
Running the engine at slow speeds
with an open throttle for a long
time such as In ascending a long,
gradual hill may reduce the vacuum
to sufficient extent that the tank
will empty itself, or this condition
might result from dirt or foreign
matter getting in and clogging the
gasoline feed tube. that is, the lead
from the tank to the vacuum tank.
IL II is case of insufficient suction,
this can always be cured by letting
the engine run with throttle closed
Tor a few moments, after which suf-
ilcient suction will be created to NIL
che tank almost instantly.
In case the float valve leaks for
any reason, which would cause an
overflow of gasoline from the tank
either through the vent pipe or
some other portion, the inner shell
can be taken out by removing eight
screws at the top OF the tank. The
tank may then be filled with gaso-
line and will act as an ordinary
gravity system, enabling the owner
to drive to the nearest garage where
the float may be repaired.
In taking off the head of the tank.
after removing the eight screws
care must be used so as not to dam
head, 1t is necessary that the joints
be kept air tight. This gasket is
shellacked.
Should the tank ever become en-
tirely empty. II may be filled by clos
ing the engine throttle and turning
the engine over a few revolutions
This will create a sufficient vacuum
in the tank to I'LL II. II the tank
has been allowed to stand empty for
considerable time and does not
readily I'LL when the engine is turned
over, either sediment or dirt has
accumulated under the flapper
valve, or the valves are dry. To
overcome this difficulty, remove the
plug at the top and squirt a little
gasoline into the tank. This will
wash the dirt from the valve and
also wet the valves and cause the
tank to work Immediately. The
fapper valve sometimes accumulates
a black deposit, which NAV tend 70
hold 1t from being kept tight to it's
seat. In this case, the valve should
be scraped with a knife.

FARMERS WIN AGAIN
IN RAIL RATE FIGHT
Roads Defeated in Attempt to Block
Reduction Of Hay and Grain
Freight CHARGES

Organized farmers Won another vic
tory in their fight for lower freight
rates on agricultural products, when
the Interstate Commerce Commission
refused to reopen hearings on grain
and hay tariffs, according to farm bu-
reau officials.
The railroads, after Offering to re-
duce rates On all farm products ten
percent for six months, objected to
the commissions previous order, which
directed the roads to cut rates on
wheat, hay and coarse grain by Dec.
9th.
The commission has re-afirmed it's
order land only an appeal to the
courts, it is said, can prevent enforce
ment Of the rate reductions. The Or
der directs that rates on wheat and
hay be cut half as much as they were
increased in August, 1921, and that
rates on coarse grain be- set 10 per-
cent lower than the new rates on
wheat In the northwest it. is esti-
mated that this reduction amounts to
approximately 17@ percent.
Rate experts predict that this re-
duction will mean an actual saving of
$5O,OOO,OOO to American farmers in
the next II months: The Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation presented ev-
idence in the hearings before the COM
mission, and vigorously demanded the
reductions which have just been Or

STOCKMEN RELIEVE
WEDNESDAYS RUSH
Sixty Carloads Shifted to Other Mar
ket Days by Combined Action
of Farmers and Roads ,. ..

st. Paul, Dec. 2S-Losses amounting
at times to $4,000 day suffered by
northwest livestock shippers, may be
wiped out in, time as a result of a
joint investigation undertaken by
farmers, railroad officials, packers and
stOckyards operators, the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation said today.
The investigation showed that be-
cause of improper arrangement of
shipments, the South ST.. Paul market
is glutted on some days and under
supplied on Others. Records covering
1920 and the first six months Of 1921
show that shipments reaching the mar
ket on Wednesday were from 30 to
SIS percent larger than arrivals on
Tuesday and Thursday. Price rec
ords for the same period show that
hogs brought an average of five cents
pound less on Wednesday, due prob
ably to the large supply. The differ
ence between total prices received by
shippers for, hogs on the market Tues
day and Thursday, and prices receiv-
ed by those whose hogs were on the
market Wednesday,, has amounted at
times to as high as $4,000, according
to the investigation department of the
state farm bureau federation.
As result of the investigat ton, rail-
roads have changed stock train sched-
ules so that so to 60 cars of stock
which formerly arrived on Wednesday
now reach the market on Thursday.
Since these changes were made, 17.6
percent of all stock arriving each
week has reached the market on Tues
day, 2O.4 percent on Wednesday, and
II percent on Thursday. Il
Final results of the investigation,
committee members said would be q
distribution of shipments so that ap-
proximately 20 percent Of the arrivals
each week will reach the market on
each of the first four days. s4.s .@.
The investigation committee includ-
ed representatives Of the farm bureau,

association, the livestock exchange, the
