THE OWNER DRIVERS
COLUMN.

The other day the writer dropped
into an auction market where used
cars and odds and ends of all kinds
were put up for sale. Among the
latter was q lot of cylinder oil called
"V Oil" The auCtioncer, Of course
interpreted this as ''Veedol.'' 1t was
a nondescript lot of questionable
cuality, yet men who had cars bid
on it. 1t was in fact very interest
ing to note the readiness with which
these car owners bought this oil.
No manufa cturer's stamp on the bar
rels. nothing but the name Auto
V Oil" yet it was snapped up quickly.
What is the use of warning people
against the dangers of cheap, poor
oils or of writing articles about what
poor oil does to an engine, as long
as car owners remain SO gullible? :?
Poor oil carbons up the cylinders and
ring grooves very rapidly. because
it has a low fire test and burns or
breaks up at much lower tenn
perature than does good OIL The
result of this is that the engine
needs much more oil per mile, gets
much dirtier and it's running is very
much impaired
Then there is the fact that cheap
cylinder oils sometimes contain ma
terialS which cause valves and piston
rings to become eummed badly. This
makes them stick and prevents their
correct action. Such oils soon waste
much more money by the loss of time
and the cost of frequent cleanings
of the engine, which become a neces-
sity, than is saved by buying cheap
oils.

Difference in Clutches
IT'S six to one-half dozen to the

The fault of the plate or multiple
disc clutch is slipping: that of the
cone clutch is sticking and grabbing.
Neither type of clutch will give any
trouble if properly used. Learn to
keep your foot off the clutch pedal
when it isn't necessary.
And if you are ever caught again
with a frozen clutch don't try to
force it out. Simply stop the engine.

slight strain on the starter motor,
but as the engine is warm it will
start at once. If you will then run

will come out when you press
down hard on the clutch pedal. The
clutch seldom sticks fast when 1t is

against trouble, but he was ready to

STARRING AGAIN BACK
WITH FARM BUREAU

Huron-George A. Starring, who re-

sition Of secretary of the South Dakota
Farm Bureau federation, today return
ed to the state headquarters of this
organization as manager, secretary
and treasurer, being placed in full
charge of the Farm Bureau work in
South Dakota.
This action was taken by the exec
utive committee of the federation at a
meeting held here Tuesday afternoon
and evening, and caught Mr.. Starring
just as he was leaving for Chicago to
enter another field of work. The
board felt that the work of the Farm
Bureau in the state had grown so
large and was proving of such service
to the thousands of members in South
Dakota that it was necessary to en-
large the authority Of the man in
charge of the work, giving him full
supervision of the bureaus activities.
The board had been trying for a full
month to secure a man competent for
such a position, but without success
until at the last minute Mr.. Starring
was finally prevailed upon to take this
position of increased scope and i'm
portance.

HARD TIMES ARE GREAT
BOON TO HOLT co. FARMER

John j. Hynes, living north of
O'Neill, may become millionaire be-
cause corn was SO plentiful last year
that it didn't have any price and
times were so hard that he didn t feel
able to make necessary investment in
a bale or so Of cotton flannel mittens
to protect his hand from sandburrs
and cockleburrs in getting out the
corn.
John gave up the idea Of husking
his corn for market that fall after he
had visited Spencer, his nearest town,
learned the price Of corn and of cotton
flannel mittens and compared the two
prices. 1t was necessary, however, to
gather little of the corn to feed the
horses, the dairy stock and a pig or
two. and hand protection was necess-
ary to do the work, so necessity, as
has often been the case, became the
mother of invention, and Hynes i'm
provised pair of mittens from worn
out inner tube and some tire tape.
He decided to husk corn only while
the supply lasted and then let the
stock harvest the rest themselves.
But the first pair Of mittens made
from the inner tube refused to wear
out, or even become thin until more
than 800 bushels of corn had been
picked, while pair of ordinary mitts
does well to last through the picking
of from forty to sixty bushels, and
John took out the corn in the entire
section field before he had exhausted
his supply of inner tubes. incidentally
he told his ncighbor about his dis
covery, CT invention, and they too,
made mittcns from old inner tubes.
The use of tube mittens gradually
spread amcng ice men, garage work
crs, masons and bricklayers and 9th
ers about O'Ncill ENGAGED in rough
work and Hynes was kept busy max
inc them. Former Mayor Charles
DAILY of O'Neill learned of the new
Lave it ra: ntcd and placed on the
mitt and advised young Hynes to
market and assisted him in the pre-
liminaries. Now an eastern rubber
comrany is making gloves and next
