the piston rings can so seal the firing

He learned. too, that pistons will

And in this same discovery he came to

This business of examining the car

There was only one way to find out
through examination. The trans
mission was looked into and given all
the scientific tests of the service sta

main driving gear was set up SO tight

That was not all. One of the me-

FORD PURCHASE PLAN.
Weekly Payment Method of Ac.
curing Auto Announced.

DETROIT. Mich, April 1.-THE
Ford Motor Company has just made
a nationwide announcement of the
new Ford weekly purchase plan.
For some time past Ford dealers
have been selling cars and trucks
upon what is known as the deferred
payment plan, in which the purchaser
makes d substantial initial payment,
secures his car and completes the
payment for il in regular installments.
Now comes the Ford weekly pur-
chase plan, which will make il pos
sible for additional millions to own
and operate motor cars. as under the
terms of the plan as little as S. will
start any one toward the ownership
of "A Ford car, Ford truck or Fordson
tractor. This initial payment, as well
as all subsequent payments, will be
deposited to the customers credit in
a local bank and draw interest at
the regular savings rate.

Keep This in Mind.

Be careful to remove everything
from the side pockets-and remove
the battery, if the car is repaired on
one of these new devices used TO turn
it upside down. A bottle of polish
with a cork that isn't in tight might
easily do some irreparable damage
The mechanics will be careful to see
that water, oil and gas is drawn off
but the car owner is supposed to at
tend to the rest.

down and the chances of reduc-
ton in rates-with safety-are that
much nearer. for the companies which
showed the best average ratio en-
deavored to insure only those risks
which are known as desirable. In
other words, those motorists who
were insured by the five first COM
panies are on a fair way toward get
ting insurance rates reduced Tn
fortunately, however, this slow prog
reSs has to be initiated by the in
surance companies in the selection
process, rather than initiated volun-
tarily by the car owners themselves.

URGE TARIFF BOOST.

Fargo, Oct. 15.-The United States
Tariff Commission in investigating
the cost of wheat production in Can
ada and the Northwest in an effort
to determine whether the tariff of 80
cents bushel should be increased
to Is cents, Rep. Frank Mondell in
formed members of the North Dakota
Bankers association Saturday. Mr..
Mondell made this announcement af-
ter several speakers had said a high
er tariff was necessary as q relief
measure.
"This inquiry has been under way
for sometime" Mr.. Mondell told the
conference, "and the Presidents ac-
tion will depend on their recommen-
dation. If it is shown that the cost
of production in. the United States
is greater than 80 cents the tariff
may be increased to fifty per cent"
President John Lee Coulter of the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
led the attack on the Meyer plan by
declaring that the "co-operative mar
keting plan would not solve the prob
lem of the wheat grower at this
time"
North Dakota bankers likewise
were firm in their opinion that a 50
per cent increase in the tariff on
wheat was necessary and also that
the tariff on fax would be greater.

RADICALS TO
GO, HE SAYS
Oklahoma Commerce Secre
tary Writes on Situation
in That State

Radical politicians soon will be
relegated to the scrap heap in Okla
homa,, says E. R. Waite, secretary
of the Shawnee, Oklahoma, Board of
Commerce. Mr.. Waite, in letter to
The Tribune, seeks to present his
views on the situation in the south
ern states, and does SO as follows:
Dear Mr.. Editor:
The day of the radical politicians
in Oklahoma will soon be past. They
will be- relegated to the scrap heap
with a dull sickening thud--the re-
suit of the action of the people by
the ballot.
Good government in Oklahoma will
come back again, stronger than ever.
Many of the politicians are trying
to save their bacon by the hand
shaking and "soft peddle" route, but
it is too late. .'s
Some men can fool strangers for
awhile but they can't fool the home
folks long. Some men can -four
flush" to the world until the home
folks get their numbers, and then
it is Goodbye Fourflushers! Some
politicians in Oklahoma can give
some real testimony to that fact.
The general impression through
out the country seems to be that a
Battle Royal is going on in Okla
homa between the X. X. K. and the
Anti-K. X. X 1t is far from the
truth; the real battle is between
good government and bad govern
ment; between those people who are
building up this wonderful state and
those who are trying their best to
tear it down.
Yours very truly,
E. R. WAITE,
Secretary.
Shawnee, Okla, Board Of Commerce.
