a poor, adjustment of the carbu-
rotor will also cause poor perform
ance at low speed, but this is usually
indicated by decided loss of power.
And if the engine will not perform
slowly for an extended time, this is a
cue to suspect pumping of oil, weak
valve springs, overheating, sticking
of carburetor float or worn carburetor
needle valve.
1t always pays to iron out the
wrinkles in performance, not merely
for the better riding it affords, but
for the repair bills it forestalls. If

It's a foregone conclusion that things
are not running normally when the
engine is driving the car at twenty
five miles an hour, even though it
seems to be going well enough.
The reason why most cars are said

owners do not appreciate the impor-
tance of the details of adjustment
upon which performance hinges.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. %. -
With the hooded figure of the Ku
Klux Klan standing silently in the
background, the state of Indiana is
a greater enigma than ever to poll
ticians in the present campaign.
In many sections of the state the
khan fight injected into the COVER.
norship race has completely disrupt
ed party lines, has turned political
brother against political brother and
has diverted attention from all
other state and national questions.
There will be more scratched
tickets and more boiling of party
ranks among Hoosier voters on No
vember than for many years, as
result of the khan scrap, it is in
dicated.
\ The khan showed tremendous
strength i'll the spring primaries
when it rallied to the support Of Ed
jackson in the race for the Repdb-
lican nomination for governor and
helped nominate him over IA field of
seven, other candidates. Whether
the khan will have the same soldar-
ity and disregard party alliance in
the election, is the problem that is
causing politicians the greatest uu-
easiness.
Although there was dissatisfaction
among anti-klansmen in the Rcpub-
lican party over the results Of the
primary, G. O. p. leaders believe
party bonds will tell at the polls
and that the anti-klan element will

stick with the ticket and help put
Jackson over.
Democratic chieftains, however,
are counting on DIR. Carleton b. Nc
Culloch, Jackson s opponent for gov
ernoT, to draw a heavy vote from
Republican anti-klansmen. McCul-
loch declared against the hooded
order soon after his nomination.: The
McCulloch forces are counting fpartic
ularIy on the negro vote in Indi-
annapolis deserving the Republican
ranks.
The Republican organization al
ready claims the Indiana electoral
vote for President Coolidge by Il
margin of 100000.
Walter Chambers, Democratic
state chairman, declared the Cool
idgc peak ia Indiana was passed in
August. He finds that the strength
of John W. Davis has been greatly
increased by his three visits to the
state.
Senator La Toilette will poll a
heavy vote in the industrial cen
tcrs and among some farmers who
blame the government for their
troubles, il is conceded by both Re

CHAMBER HEARS
HEMP EXPERT in
SNAPPY SPEECH

/ Pleasant indeed was the noon
hour of the chamber of. commerce
Wednesday when a delicious lunch
was served, followed by musical
selections and readings by the Harp
quartette which rendered such a
charming entertainment in the Will
son school the previous evening.
Miss Dyer accompanied her compan-
ions on the piano, Miss Flanagan
contributing violin solo, Miss Be
hensky dialect story, and Miss
Voelkel assisting on the cello.
l. Speaking on behalf of the I'M
perial Valley Hemp Mills, and as
representing Karl Vessel in his tex
tile and industrial enterprises, j.
B. Woodside gave short and snap
py talk on what the hemp mills
will mean to FL Centre. He said
that Mr.. Vessel was recognized as
perhaps the greatest living authori-
ty on the growing of flax and
hemp, and had contributed the
greatest manufacturing inventions
to the industry. He also was the
inventor of the icc-crcam cone ma
chine, and much textile machinery
now i'll use in New England ycner-
ally.
60 His presence hore,o said Wood
side, els due to the result of a
great deal of experimental work.
He has sought places suitable for
the manufacture of hemp products
lo Ia 20
United States, and he has selected
Imperial Valley as the best loca-
tion on this continent
Mr.. Woodside alluded to the hon
ors Karl Vessel had received, and
wanted his hearers to visualize what
was being brought into the valley
with the industry. There would be
hundreds and perhaps thousand of
well-paid workers attracted here,
in receipt of wages that would bring
in hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the Golfers of the merchants of
this center. There was being brought
into ;,n agricultural community a
crop which could be speedily hand
led and the money from which
would be returned in six months,
and which would build up the i'm
poverished land now devoted, year
after year, to the growing of cot
ton, thereby enhancing land values
in the Imperial Valley.
"By rotating crops of hemp they
cay bring back the land to its ori-
gihal condition. said Woodside,
"and our activities will not con
flict with any Other industry in
the valley. We have interested a
large number of prominent business
men in the valley, who recognize
the value of the industry to the
community, and all we ask is your
cooperation in our plap.'
r. P. Moore chamber president,
and Perciel Thacker, committeeman,
also spoke briefly.
