BATTERIES MUST
Be BUILT FOR

Local Willard Man Gives Reasons
Why Some Batteries Won't
Stand Up

A cheaply made or a poorly con-
structed battery cant long stand the
abuse and neglect that the average
battery has to endure says Mr. {. 0
Pinch. the local Willard man. Take
such a simple thing as the battery
box, for instance If this is poorly
constructed il is no time at all before
the jars and shocks of the average
roads condition burst il apart at the
joints.
I'm the willard Storage Battery
this is guarded against by making the
box of the very hardest wood obtain
able and not only dove-tailing the
joints but driving a hardwood dowel
through to be sure that they don't
spread.
IF ordinary bolts and screws were
used in the construction of the battery
it would only be a short time before
these would be corroded by the acid
For this not only the best materials
obtainable must be used then, but the
screws themselves must be coated
with acid-proof preparation before
they can be used.
Many motorists know to their sor-
row what a broken battery jar is. The
jars particularly must be of good ma
terial and well made if they are going
to stand up under the stress ana
strain of road service. The Willard
Storage Battery Company in order to
give the Willard users the best pos =
sible protection against this form of
battery trouble, subjects all rubber
for jars to tensilbel test of 5000
pounds per square inch of section, and
the finished jars to $4,000 volts of
electricity test to search out small
holes or weak spots.
The plates which go to make up
the elements of a battery must be es-
pecially well made if the battery is to
give the user the best service.
IF the grids, which form the base
Of the plates, are made entirely of lead
they will buckle and bend under the
slightest strain. For this reason an
alloy of lead and antimony is used in
the best girds. Cheap batteries usu-
ally have less antimony in the birds

Lakeland Battery Service Com

One Year

The Lakeland Battery Service Com

brating the first anniversary of the
foundation of the business one year
ago this month. The business is
owned by C. NJ. Foreman and son, H..
S. Foreman, originally northern men.
but Floridians by adoption. The bus
mess enjoys a large local trade in its
line, besides being distributors for
south Florida for the Universal bat
terry and parts, with dealers in nearly
all towns in this section. The bust
ness is under the personal supervis-
ion of the Nessrs. Foreman and all
repair work has their personal at
tention.
A feature that is building their
business is the service given on all
batteries, whether purchased from
them or not. They guarantee all re-
pair work and give service on all re-
paired batteries the same as new ones.

Repeated experiments have shown
that the best results are obtained from
using coarse-grained oxides. Plates
made of this type of ovide are longer
lived, have greater capacity and are
generally the most satisfactory.
One Of the most important features
in Willard battery construction is the
exclusive use of coarse-grained oxide
and to this must be ascribed a great
part of the satisfaction which Willard
batteries give.

REAL HOME COOKING BEING
TAUGHT TO YOUNG WOMEN IN
HOME ECONOMICS.

Actual experience under average
household conditions in preparing
meals and entertaining guests is now
being given to advanced students IN
cooking classes of the home eco
nomics department at the University
of Idaho, Miss Katherine Jensen,
head Of the department, announced
today.
Working individually, each girl has
the responsibility of planning din-
ner, preparing it without aid and then
acting as hostess to her friends.
Some students are required to en-
phasize economical features while
others are allowed to include modest
luxuries in the meals. A schedule is
arranged so that everyone in the
junior serving and cooking division
will receive this training by the end
of the year. The preparation of
somewhat unusual foods which do
not belong to the expensive" class
is emphasized. Thus far, the aver
age cost of the meals has arranged
from 20 to 35 cents a plate.
Following the completion Of this
work, the students will receive train
ing demonstration work that will be
required of them if they enter the
professional field.

SEVERAL TOWNS.

Gooding, st. Maries and Emmett are

spring and have ordered shade trees
from the school of Forestry at the
University Of Idaho, f. G. Miller, dean
of the school of forestry, announced
today.
"The Intermountain Institute at
Weiser and Kicks Normal college at
Rexburg have also placed substantial
orders for trees which they will use
in beautifying their campuses," said
Dean Miller Each of the orders
called for considerable variety but
the one from the Intermountain Insti-
tute was unique in that it requested
more than 20 varieties.
Several other Idaho towns have
been corresponding with us in regard
to parks, but they will probably wait
until next spring to plant" Although
this is not year in which an unusual
amount of tree planting might De
expected, the amount of orders that
have been received lately indicates
that this year will probably outstrip
all previous ones in the number sold.

STATE I. B. FUNDS
ARE NOT EXHAUSTED
DIR. ADAMS SAYS ERROR WAS
MADE IN REPORT-FEDERA
FUND WAS MEANT.

That it was the federal and not the
state funds for paying for stock or
dered killed by state or federal auth
critics because of contagious disease,
is the statement of Dr. Adams, state
veterinarian, who is in Moscow look
ing after the work in Latah county.
DR.. Adams made the following
statement on the subject:
State Fund Not Exhausted
Under the accredited herd cooper
ative agreement plan, of eradicating
the disease, there is a provision
whereby an indemnity of 2-3 of the
salvage paid for reactors diseased
animals) slaughtered, to the extent
of $50 for grade animal and $100
for pure bred registered animal,
providing the registration of the ami
NAL is substantiated by the proper
papers at the time of slaughter. It
has been reported that the state is
out of money to pay these indemni-
ties.
'aThis is mistake m way, for the
state is not out Of indemnity fund,
but at this time, and up to the first
of July, the beginning of the federal
fiscal year, the federal government,
will not have available funds to pay
their half Of indemnities.
"The state cooperative law provides
that the state cannot pay unless the
federal government pays, therefore,
no indemnities can be paid for re-
actors slaughtered, until after the
first Of July, at which time the new
federal appropriation will be avail
able.
However, the federal government
has recently ruled that reactors
found may be kept in quarantine
when it is practical, and the owner
desires to do so until after the first
of July and at that time the retained
reactors will be appraised and
slaughtered under and in accordance
iwth state and federal rules and regu-
lations."
