when We ALL
PULL TOGETHER

What wonderful results have been
obtained by concerted efforts in the
recent war activities. Without this
unity the purpose on the part of the
people of communities the mammoth
Liberty Loans could not have been
possible, the Red Cross campaigns
would have failed, and in fact, none
If the great things that we have ac-
complished could have been possible
with the people Of the country pull
ing in opposite directions. This is
true in just as large a sense in COM
munity work of the Buy-at- Home
Movement. With each and every re-
sident of the community pulling for
the home town, a force is presented
that cannot be defeated. That town
will thrive-there is no such a word
as fail.

WHERE DO
YOU STAND?

Are you standing at the cross roads
of DUTY and NEGLECT?
Which road are you going to take?
Why should you hesitate in doing
your best toward the development and
betterment the community in which
you live7
The good, loyal citizens of your
home town are striving, constantly,
to increase the money-mak posi-
bilities there.
Are you going to cooperate by TAX
ing an active, personal interest and
do your share?
Are you going to help increase real
estate and farm values of your home
community and the opportunities for
investment, business and employment
there?
Ii you are, start right in today to
boost the home town by doing all of
your buying there. It is YOUR
town and needs your financial sup
port-your moral support, your bust
ness judgement, your advice, your
ideas, your personality, your cooper
alton in every way. Only by taking
a personal interest in the welfare of
your community can you ever hope to
be honred and respected there.

He is the fellow whose years are fat
When the wanderers years are
lean.
For many man has failed to find
The spot where the treasures Turk,
Until he came back to his own home
town
And settled himself to work.
Stout is the heart which chooses
Alright
And willing the hand to do,
For duty wears ever a fearsome guise
And those who follow are few.
But under the garb so tattered and
Are garments of texture fine,
And rich the reward of the ones who
are brave
And who patiently hold the line.
Pleasure may wait in the paths affair
And the lure of the trail be strong
But often we come to the end of the
road
To find that our course was wrong.
And many man has sought far and
wide
For wealth and fame and renown.
Only to learn that they might have
been his
If he'd stayed in his own home
town.

THE TOWN IS
THE CENTER

The modern town is not only the
trading center of the community, but
it is the social, educational and re-
iigious center as well. Just how far
this town will advance or go back in
the scale of towns growth depends
altogether upon the people of that
particular city OF town. Each tow
is community center. If the people
Of the center of things are alive to
the possibilities of the community it
will advance If not, there is nothing
under the sun that will keep that
town alive. Another and more pro-

To Keep Meat and Butter Cool

To keep meat and butter cool with
out ice when camping, select the cool
est place you can find and dig hole
IN the ground about three feet deep.
Put the meat and butter in a wooden

towel and board. Lower this into the
hole, then spread a piece of canvas
with two or three boards nailed to-
gether over the top to form a cover.

in YOUR
idle HOURS

While resting in the cool shade
these hot days why not let your
thoughts dwell upon this town and

what you can do for them, and upon
how you can spur others to greater
exertions in behalf of our community

They need more thought, deeper
concentration, greater action.
Many great aid ennobling deed
receives its inception in an idle mo-

serve but to expand and develop it.
1t might be SO with that idle
thought of yours, with this communi-
ty of ours.
No town is ever SO perfect but
what it might become hundred per
cent more so. Even ours is no ex-
ception to the rule.
Cool off in the shade if you feel
so inclined.
Let your thoughts wander afeld,
and gather in the ideas of fancy

We add new coat of paint to our
house and gaze upon the finished
product with pride. It's improved
appearance more than justifies the
labor and expense.
And if improvement is good for
the home of the individual, why not

Let your hand of idleness beget
!others of energy and aggressivena ss.

kyour value to the community.
It develops the community and in

STAY-AI-HOME

Others may sing of the Rolling Stone
Who snaps his fingers at care
And accumulates naught but polish
fine
In knocking from here to there.
But sing the praise of the Stay-at-

Who sticks to his job in the fact'ry

And is never from duty swung.
He is the man who gathers the. moss,
The kind that is long and green;

SERVICE
There's something which is greater

There's something which is greater
far
Than modern cults or creeds;
It is to all humanity
An answer to it's needs;
1t builds our cities, railways, ships,
Makes fruitful barren soil:
This something is called Service"
1t is askin to "Toil."
Serve others as you would be served"
That's how I'd like to say
The teaching which the Golden Rule
Says in another way
And, though I know a lot depends
Upon the point of view,
If charity bes ms at home
Why shouldn't service too?
[ mean, not only helpful deeds,
Kind words or courtesies,
But where and how we buy our nails
Our shoes or groceries.
We go when we want fsvors done
To someone whom we know,
So in all fairness I should think
That's where our trade should go.
I
The merchant who supplies our needs
Or shows us latest modes,
The editor who advocates
improvements, = better roads,
These men are doing all they can
To serve us every day,
And we can show we understand
By serving in our way

RULES TO PROTECT
TIRES ON TRUCKS
Manufacturer Points Out
Methods to Make Them
Last Longer.

Hero u . set Of rules for truck
drivers on the care Of solid and
pnsumatic truck tires formulated by
the technical department Of the
United States Tire Company for the
benefit Of truck owners:
AL truck tires have load limit.
Constant, slight or occasional heavy
everloads shorten tire life.
Distribute the load in the truck
body so each tire will bear its pro-
porionate share Of the weight carried.
When applying and dismounting
pneumatic truck tires, flap and tube
must fit properly and casing fit prop
erly on rim
Know-don't guess-your imitation
pressure. Proper imitation pressure is
as important as proper loads and
speeds.
Running in car tracks causes tires
to break de- WI early. Avoid car tracks.
Check your wheel alignment. Tires
cannot give full service il jnprop-
erly mounted.
Neglected cuts lower tire mileage
Trim off loose slivers of solid tires.
Mend the small and repair the large
cuts in pneumatic tires.
Chains and other anti-skid devices
injure tires. Use chains only when
necessary and apply them loosely.
Turn corners slowly to prevent tire
strains. Apply power and brakes
gradually to avoid useless spinning
or locking of wheels.
Tires are cut or scraped occasion
ally by bent tenders when the loaded
truck travels over rough places.
Tires are limited in shock absorb
ing power. Careful. slow driving on
rough or rutty roads will reduce tire
costs.
Overspeeding a tire has the same
harmful effect as overlooking. Keep
truck speed within prescribed limits.
To avoid unnecessary strain, lift
the truck weight from the tires
when the truck is to be idle any con-
siderable time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
FOR THE 4 AUTOiNOBULSTS

safest way to travel through mud
Is in q lower gear. Do not force
the car through especially bad
places-if it stops back it few
teet' quickly engage a forward
speed and again drive forward. ANY
Iofward momentum Of the car while
shift 10 made can thus be taken ad-
vantage Of. Keep the car as near as
so there viii be no danger Of sliding
sideways into the ditch. and keep
puddles Of water between the wheels
instead Of driving through them
with one side of the car. Some
holes. and running into them with
only one front wheel may result In
stal1ing the car in the mudhole or
possibly a complete overturning and
injuring Of car and passengers.
s.; OIL should not be ustE In the
water to prevent rusting because the
oil would rot the rubber hose con-
nections between radiator and engine
6. Automobile springs are general
ly made Of vanadium steel. silica
manganese, chromium alloy and car
bon steel, the latter being in more
common use. High-grade springs
with great resiliency and strength
are made Of the three former-men-
toned steels.
I. An annoying rattle which usually
cannot be found by shaking the car
when it is at a standstill is located in
the spring shackles or ends of the
springs where they are secured to the
car frame. Wear at these points will
cause side slap when the car weight
is suspended after rebound Of the
spring when the car passes over a
bump, and only a slight amount of
lost motion will create a great deal
Of rattle. It Is remedied by placing
shims or washers at ends Of shackle
bolts, drawing up the lock nuts on
these bolts. or by replacing worn
bolts with new.

BY THEODORE p. MOVES.

Mr.. Motorist, have you ever been
driving at night in a city with which
you were not familiar. and. on ap-
preaching a busy crossing looked
yainly around for a traffic policeman.
and, not seeing one. kept on your
way, only to have traffic man Jump
celt from a crowd and call you down
for not obeying his signal?
Now. if you were familiar with tnat
particular city and that partlcuIas
crossing you would know just where
to look for the policeman. and the
chances are you would be able to dis
tInguish him. But in a strange city
unless he was directly in your path
or operating semaphore. you would
more than likely miss him. -.
or course, the fact that you don't
know whether there is traffic po-
liceman stationed on that particular
crossing or not tends to confuse you
and make you not so sure OF your
ground.
In Different Positions.
The cause Of a lot of this uncer-
tainty on the part OF the visiting
motorist is the fact that on prac-
tically every crossing in every differ
ent city the traffic policeman Is In
different position.
At one crossing you will md him
operating semaphore in the middle ;,1
find him in a little house set on the
curb. directing traffic. And at others
you will find him at the crosswalE
either to your right or left, not oniy
directing automobile traffic, Oct
pedestrian traffic as well.
And, to add to that, you will nnd
ali sorts of different traffic sema-
phores. In one city you will see a
small apparatus with Go" and stop
on it. another with just a large
stop"
To digress for a minute. In Phila.
delphia the large sign with just
"Stop" on it is use. When you did
not See the stop it means that traffic
is clear and you can go straight
through. When the mo left-hand
turn" was put into effect in that city
it proved confusing for visiting mo-
torists inaSmuch as the NO le1t-
hand turn" sign was put on the sema .
phores and from distance IT looked
exactly like the stop" sign. So when
you are in Philadelphia and you see
a crosspiece on the semaphore you
don't need to slow up, thinking 1t
