-Four bankruptcy petitions In which
the aggregate liabilities are $685.

trict court at Covington by Robert
Rankin and sons. Of Dsnville. farm
ers. in partnership and by Robert
Rankin and two sons individually.
The schedule shows the assets Of
the partnership to be si72.3s5 and
the liabilities s205. 5000. Robert
Rankin listed his individual assets at
1902. and his liabilities at $751;
4i0.57. Daniel r. Rankin's schedule

titles aggregating 1851, a50.3i Chas.
r. Rankin listed his assets at $751;
$50 and liabilities at s229,i77.62.

the Robert Evans farm in Boyle
county, which they recently purchas-
w ahd "HiNh tVnRahhf CIV stNr~-
II has been known for several months
that these people were in financial
straights. but no one thought or
even suspected that their liabilities
were anything like the amount stated
in the petitions. Coming on the
heels Of the big Bagby failure a few
months ago in Boyle county, brings
out more clearly the decrease in
farming lands and farming products,
which is directly the cause Of the two
failures.
The Rankin family as a whole,
stand high in this and adjoining
counties. having come to the blue
grass region from Wayne County.
They purchased the best farms in
Boyle, Lincoln and Garrard counties,
and until the slump came a few
months ago, were the most substan-
tial financially. in Central Kentucky.
They have many friends who will
deeply regret their financial reverses
and hope they may soon be able 70
regain some Of their lost fortune.

GIVE YOUR AUTO
GOOD ATTENTION
Winter Motoring Can Be Made
More Pleasant by Giving Car
Necessary Care.
WATCH ENGINE VERY CLOSELY
Hood and Radiator Should Be Kept
Covered and Anti-Freeze Solution
Poured Into Water System
Be Easy on Battery

With the closed car and all sorts
heating arrangements more popular
than ever. few automobiles are put
INTO storage during the winter.
But manufactured conveniences will
lOt make winter motoring pleasant
and care necessary for cold-weather
irving,
Chief Source Of Trouble.
The motorists greatest attention
hould be paid toward the engine, for
that Is his chief source OF trouble In
winter. He should keep the hood
and radiator covered. The gasoline
should be cleared of water and other
Impurities and an anti-freeze solution
placed In the water system.
The best anti-freeze solution is
sbout a gallon of denatured alcohol
or alcohol and glycerin in equal pro
portions, to three of water. This
freezes at about 10 degrees above zero
fahrenheit. For colder weather the
icohol mixture should be greater.
II the engine doesn't start imme-
cately on depressing the starter but
Nlon the motorist should resort to the
: kpriming and crank method. The bat
lery should not be Overworked, for
lhe long nights and short days during
winter mean added current for the
lights Besides, the battery's efficiency
lowered with a drop In tempera'
ture.
Starting Cold Engine.
A cold engine will start best after
being primed with highest gasoline
ether. The crank should be used to
imber up the engine. The choke
mould be used sparingly. for overuse
auses the raw fuel to run through
INTO the crank case.
There is least load on the engine
starting If the clutch is held out
while turning over the engine with
ne starting motor.
Lighter lubricant should be placed
~ the differential and transmission,
Hor cold weather congeals the oil and
furnishes more work for the engine.
