GOOD TURN APPRECIATED

Scout Executive Dyer L. Jones of
South Orange, n. j., is in receipt of
The following letter Of appreciation of
good turn: During the storm Sun
day, June IL, large hickory tree on
my premises was blown down by the
wind, breaking two other trees in Its
fall and entirely blocking the side
walk and most of the roadway in front
of my home. In response 10 call by
the village authorities. Troop No. II,
boy scouts came TO my home and in
side of 80 minutes. they chopped the
tree in five or six lengths, Topped off
the branches and stored all of the de
bris on the lawn, entirely out Of ths
way Of traffic of all kinds. As this
tree was between 60 and 20 feet high
and measured about IS inches in
diameter il seems to me that the ac
compIishment of this work in such q
speedy manner is meritorious
achievement and worthy of being
called To your attention. | certainly
appreciate the work Of Troop II uuder
their leader. Mr.. Morrison. and
through you wish to express my
hearty blanks FOR their sincerely earn
est work in time OF emergency.-John

IMPORTANCE OF OIL
TO FARMERS CAR
material Supplied bp the Department
Of Auto Mechanics, Utah Az

In these days when nearly ever,
farmer runs his own car. it is very
essential that he understand the why
and wherefore of every part OF it's
mechanism.
The first and most essential thing
) the oil.ng. Do not use inferior
Dill. Stick to standard and well test
ed brands. Do not use two different
Sils at the same time. IL you change
Ois, drain and wash out the motor
With kerosene before putting in new
)il. You can do this by removing the
Iran plug from the bottom of the
rank case: after I'LL the. dirty oil has
drained out. replace the plug, fill
rank case through filler tube with
about one gallon of Kerosene, being
sure that the ignition switch is off SO
hat the motor will not start, and then
pre- : the starting switch and let the
5arter spin the motor for about one
i.inute Redrain and fill with clean
oil. This operation should be perform
ed ON every car after every thousand
miles of running.
1t is very necessary to get all the
Kerosene out of the motor because
if it is left in it will thin the new
oil and cause it to lose its lnbricat-
ing qualities. The engine will prob
ably smoke more or less and there
But after running the engine for
a while the smoke ought to pass away |
and the spark plugs can then be
cleaned and properly set DO not start |
the engine on its own power even
after the oil has been put in without |
first turning it over several times
with the starter. This is done to elm
mate all kerosene from the engine dis
tributor pipes and bearings, and to
pump the engine oil in its proper
channels
The dirty oil which is drained from
the crank case may be used in trans
mission gears by straining and mix
ing with hard oil providing the car
has not been run more than one thou
sand miles on this oil. II it has not
been run longer than this the oil is
merely charred and is slightly stringy
'r9m the wax which has been formed

he very qualification necessary for a
;ear lubricant, in that it holds the
Ill to the gears. The oil should be

reae, neither fluid or solid.

There had been heartburnings in
