Water in the Crankcase.

This Is the time Of the year when
water condensation In the crank
case Is serious matter. The more
cylinders the engine has the worse
the situation. Water, a product Of
combustion. makes it's way past the
piston rings into the crankcase
where II interiors with lubricstion.
In the warmer weather the water
In the form Of steam may blow out
Of the breather, but when the crank
case is famed by a cold breeze the
steam condenses into water which
contaminstes the oil. The remedy
Of course lies in draining the oil
about every four weeks and altering
it. In some eight and twelve-cylin-
der engines more than a pint Of
water may be removed under certain
conditions.

SOFT TIRES PROVE
COSTLY TO OWNER
THROUGH FATIGUE
Standard Makes Required
To Withstand Wear
OF Flexings.

Did you ever hear OF tire fatigue?
A 30x3h tire is approximately %
inches in circumference and must
make SCI revolutions to the mile.
In each revolution the entire carcass
flexes or bends twice-once down
and once up. This means 1884 fiex-
ations to the mile and over one and
one third million feelings per thou
sand miles run.
A 35x5 tire is 1Ie inches in CIR
and makes 57i complete

Tape Prevents Leaks.

When water leakage develops be-
tween the rubber hose and the out
let from the cylinder jacket. or
where the hose joins the radiator
pipe, 1t can be obviated by wrapping
the joints with ordinary adhesive
tape. The proper method to fol-
low is TO remove the clamps, tape
the joints and shellac the tape.
When the shellac is dry the hose
clamps should be replaced. Be sure
that the clamp draws up in a perfect
circle. II it is out of shape and
will not draw up properly it will
bunch up the rubber hose SO that
leakage will begin again before
long.

A. 1t might leak into the cyIin-

 There is a reason why cats walk on stone fences in their peregrinations. A cat will often travel three or four miles in search of prey. By walking on a stone fence they have a better chance to get the lay of the land. Thus, when the cat desires to return, if it once strikes fence upon which 1t has travelled, its way home is then clear. A cat generally has good req son for everything it does.-Farming- vile Correspondence Ridgefield Press.

 Marion, Ohio, Baptist Church and
 Senator Harding's pastor. The other
 day Rev. Martin was asked just why
 he is so enthusiastic about Senator
 Harding, and this is what he said:
 "It is a peculiar pleasure for me to
 continue the work which I began
 twenty-five years ago. It was my privilege to stand on the side lines and boost for Senator Harding when he received his first nomination for public office. When he was a candi- date for the senate I was visiting in Ohio and had the pleasure of boost Ing for him. It is, therefore, a pecu- liar pleasure to join with this bunch of Minnesota boosters in seeking to put Senator Harding over, in the greatest gift within the power of the people. Being a clergyman, I have been constantly asked by my friends at the college commencement in Mich lgan, in Chicago and in Minnesota why I am such a persistent booster for MT. Harding, and I have been asked to state in this presence my reasons for doing so. These are three:.
 "The first pertains to certain ele- ments of his character. I will give you these as l received them while I was pastor of the Baptist Church in this city, of which MT. Harding is a mem- Der. l asked him and a group of other men to make some Sunday evening addresses. 1 do not remember much that Senator Harding said at that time, but do remember very distinct ly the words with which he closed his address and which have stood all these years as outstanding clements of his character to me. He closed the address by a quotation from the Pro- phets, in which he said, And what doth the Lord thy God require of thee but to do justly and love mercy and walk humbly with thy God Justice, mercy, kindliness and humility have In all these years stood as foremost of Mir. Harding's life which are always at- tractive and make a mans life worth while.

Lumber prices are deflated. Lum- Der, the last great commodity to ad- vance in price, has been the first to come back to a normal basis. While lumber constitutes less than 30per cent of the cost of the average frame house, these reductions mean an important saving in building costs.
 Building labor is more efficient. A reduction in the wage scale is less i'm portant than full days work for one days pay. Increased efficiency has al- ready brought about substantial re- duction in cost.
 There are many reasons why people should
