Obituary

Death has again entered our midst
and called to rest another of Pierce
county's prominent pioneer residents,
Lewis Edmond Green.
Mr.. Green was born 70 years ago
in st. Claire, Michigan, on April 25,
1851. When but four years of age,
he moved with his parents to what is
now the town of Beldenville, Wis.
There he remained with his parents,
and worked with them until the age
of 81. At that age Mr.. Green was
united in marriage to Emma Gean
Russ. Together they lived, loved, and
toiled for more than 81 years.
For a short time they lived in the
vicinity of Beldenville. Then Mr..
Green purchased a farm Az miles
east of River Falls on which they liv-
ed for about % years. There their
eleven children were born. They are:
Dexter D., Steven L., Harrison, and
Mrs. Louella McCue of River Falls,
Mrs. Della Peterson of Pine City,
Mimi, Charles L., of Alberta, Cana
da, Clarence j., st. Paul, Mimi, Mrs.
Gertrude Chryst and Mrs. Frank
Schramske of Randolph MINI. A son,
Freddie, died in his infancy, and a
daughter, Minnie, the eldest in the
family, passed away % years ago.
It was with untiring zeal and de-
votion that Mr.. Green gave the best
of his early manhood to improving
his farm, pioneering his way through
untold hardships that tested the en-
durance of man in those early pioneer
days.
In 1903 the family moved to the
city of River Falls, where they have
lived the last Fl years.
In addition to his sorroWing wife,
his children and grandchildren, Mr..
Green leaves two brothers and two
sisters: William F., and David, Mrs.
Stephen Browell and Mrs. Elsie
Flint, all of River Falls. He also
leaves a large circle of friends who
will greatly miss seeing and chatting
with "Lute" on the streets of River
Falls.
Mr.. Green will be remembered as
man of honest ideals, always adher-
ing to tt, fact that "Honesty is the
best policy" He always instilled in
the minds of his children this idea of

honesty and truthfulness.

Mr.. Green passed away at his home
on Sunday, May 25, at the age of 70
years, / month. Funeral services
were held on Wednesday forenoon at
the home, Rev. Thrush officiating.

"Tis hard to break the human ties
that bind US to those we have learned
to love and cherish. Someday the
'.Silver Cord will break" and leave
vacant in our home place that ne'er
can be filled God in His wisdom has
taken this loved one from our midst
but
Somewhere the sun is shining
Even in darkest night.
Cease then your sad repining,
Soon will your sky be bright.
Sometime, Somewhere
God will make all come right.
Sofetime, Somewhere
Skies will be always bright"

During the night of the pageant
some miscreant attempted to get
away with L. L. Plummer's car, which
was parked near the show grounds

the wouldbe thief was novice in the
driving of an auto when the car was
found abandoned the following morn

Samuel Clark, aft ferwards built his beautiful residence which. with its setting of trees and gardens, is one of the most beautiful colonial homes in this state. This road crosses the present main high way between Berlin station and Warrington Ridge and continues on to the east in front of the Norman Porter place and was Nthe main road between Pennington and Middle town. The exact location was prob- ably near the intersection of these two streets and on the north side of the former.

The same kind of people lived in the north center and south of this at- tenuatcd parish. It is not difficult to see that being assessed to build a new Meeting House where a sub stantial minority did not want it would lead 10 trouble. It did. As early as 1730 the society voted to build a new Meeting House on Sarg't. John Norton's lot, voting 42 for 1t and S6 against.

It might be recorded, however, that before this was done the parish had passed in- numerable votes. A drawing by lot was resorted to in order to decide where the Meeting House shoui>1 be built. The choice fell for >>c 1oca- tion desired by the minority where upon the majority refused to abide by the lot. They had agreed to have this lot taken In a reasonable way and, before sundown. They claimed it was taken after sundown.

gineer officers, who have other duties,
and there is probably not more than
300 officers who are assigned OK
clusiyely to duty with the reserve.
The reserve officers, who have be-
come Intimately acquainted with the
needs Of the Organized Reserves are
asking for IL program which would
require at least 716 regular officers.
The reserves is, therefore, short
about 200 executive officers from the
Regular Army.
The same condition prevails in the
National Guard as in the Reserve
Officers Training Corps units at our
various schools and colleges. There
is on duty with the National Guard
about 4S1 officers, while the Militia
Bureau has asked for $50 Even this
is the minimum required. The Ma
tional Guard should have at least
700 regular officers. The shortage
with the Reserve Officers Training
Corps units is even more greater.
The minimum requirement for the
Reserve Officers farming Corps would
be 1000 officers if the War Depart
ment were to expand its activities
in this direction to meet the present
demands of the colleges. If the Re
serve officers Training Corps units
are to furnish their share of the re-
placement in the Officers Reserve
Corps, according to the plans of the
War Department and the Reserve
Officers Association, more than half
Of the 1000 Regular Army officers

present time there are about 100
officers on Reserve officers Training

No. 77-VaIve Troubles.

I was just about to start out for
Saturday afternoon spin when truck
driver info rmed the garage man that
a chap by the name of Smith was
stranded With his car about a half
mile out of town. The messenger in
formed US that the trouble didn't
seem to be anything requiring the
SERVICES of a tow car. So, since the
mechanics were busy trying to turn
out jobs for Sunday driving, 1 offered
to drive out and see what L could do
with it myself.
1t was not difficult to find Smith.
He was standing beside the car, peer
ing helplessly at the perplexing motor
under the hood.

he hadn't as much as soiled his shirt

Sticking Valve Trouble Maker
The engine ran on five cylinders,
chok ed, and made a sharp, clanking
noise. as though a connecting rod or
two were Numbering around in the
crankc e. The noise was the sort
which would be perpleXing to any one
+ who did not know what caused it, but
1t was plain to me that the trouble
was caused by a sticking valve. To
prove this. ! removed the cover from

planned that the particular cylinder
could not fire under these conditions,
, because every time it's pi ton came up
on the compression stroke the gas va
por was pushed out through the open
exhaust port This caused the un-
even running of the engine and some
of the noise. The rest of the clanking
noise was caused by the push rod and
rocker arm for the particular valve.
The action of valve in closing is
relied upon to- return the valve
mechanism to its original position,
but in this case it was free to slap
around and become noisy. a

Gas Vapors Get in Destructive
Work by Lack of Care.

Much trouble in the way of oil
dnution and scoring of cylinder
walls is found in FAN and Winter
driving by reason of stopping the en-

into the garage, crank up, back out
and, not wishing to drive off right

a good plan to start the engine and
let it run an instant after switching
it off. provided that you do not have
to choke it again to do so.

flames, particularly IN your type of
motor, where the valves are subjected
10 the maximum heat. In my type of
motor, where the valves work in
pockets at the side of the combustion
chamber, there is not so much heat,
but this arrangement has the disad-
vantage of encouraging the valve
stem to stick through lack of lubri-
cation. That is because the valve
heads are pointed upward, and any
oil on the stems must be forced up
from below. In your motor the
heads are pointed down, and the oil
which you squirt on the spring runs
down through the guides and oils the
stems.
Two Types of Sticking.
I'm the overhead valve engine.
therefore, the sticking Is mostly a
matter of overheating, while In the
L-head type the sticking is mainly
caused by insufficient fabrication
Sometimes, however, the causes com
bine. This explains your case. Being
overheated, this valve has dried OF ali

When this occurs crank the engine by
hand for a while with the ignition
shut off until you are sure that the
valve is opening and closing properly
That will give the oil a chance to free

sene it would be better to apply that
on the valve spring and stem before
using the ell. as any gum on the stem
would then be cleaned off and the oil
would work down into its proper
place quicker"

you remember the time YOU told me OF
the advantages of carrying a little
kerosene in the car? It's mighty
lucky 1 had it with me, because I've
just discovered that my oil can is
missing. Suppose | didn't even have

Then you would be sensible enough
to drain little of the crankcase oil

BALTIMORE, December 20.-Re-
turns from the 2-cents- gallon gaso-
line tax, which became effective this
year. are expected by John n. Mack
all, chairman of the State Roads Com
mission, to reach the original esti-
mate of s. 100000 a year.
In the first nine months of this year
the State collected S1,21s,967, and the
remaining three months are expected
10 bring the total up to the $500, 600
mark, which was the estimate set in
1922. when the tax was provided for
by the General Assembly.
The tax is paid directly by the
wholesaler when gasoline is brought
into the State. Baltimore city re-
ceives 30 per cent of the total.
The money is expended on State
roads resulting in 32-cent re-
duction per horsepower in the automo-
bile license tax

sumed in Maryland is used for other
purposes than motor vehicle fuel.

The truck is operated on a sched-
ule, movements being subject to the
orders of train dispatcher. The
contract price of $40 a day for the
motor truck includes insurance
against loss and damage. Since the
service was begun in October there
has been much less damage to ship
ments than FORMERLY, when small con-
signments were knocked about by
the frequent stopping of the freight
cars.
Another experiment which the Lee
high has been making is the substi-
tuition of 40-passenger rail motor
coach for a train on the run between
Plainfield and Perth Amboy, y. j. A
crew of two men has supplanted the
five who manned the train. This ex-
