Doctor Campbell drove to Flagstaff
Tuesday.
There has been transferred to this
jurisdiction one of the White trucks
that had been used in the Indian in
dustries division at Phoenix. The
truck was delivered here Saturday.

Gently vacated by Chas. P. Neher's
resignation, having been transferred
here from the San Carlos jurisdiction.
On Thursday afternoon the public
school held a flag raising with appro-
pirate exercises, in celebration Of the
acquisition of new flag pole
Chas. P. Neher, for three years
school farmer here, departed Friday.
Mr.. Neher resigned early in March to
accept position outside the service
rear Santa F'e. He went from here to
Flagstaff, where his family has lived
Tor some months, and will go from
there to his new location
Saturday evening there was given
at the Moencopi day school one OF
the most enjoyable of the employees
socials of the season. 1t was an
nounced as an sold Time School,
party, and the events of the evening
and the costumes of the guests were
all in keeping with that idea. Super
intendent Meyer presided as school
master with dignity unrufflcd during
the most trying, not to say hilarious
moments. Doctor Campbell as 'sPer-
cy," mammals pet child, kept the
school in an uproar, while the antics
of various other mischievous "young-
sters" were not conducive to what in
modern schools would be considered
good order.

At Wednesday nights meeting Mr.
O'Brien, lowest bidder on laying the
flow line from the springs and build
ing the 12-foot road along the line,
whose bid on the latter was only $13,-
coo for several miles, explained that
his bid in lump rather than by yard
age was made with the consent Of
Mr.. Tamanes. Ray Downer and Frank
Nero of Downer & Nero stated their
belief that this exception made to Mr..
O'Brien was unfair to the other bid
ders, in that it took Mr.. O'Brien's bid
out of the competitive class; that if
the other bidders had been let in on
the same basis instead Of being held
to the terms and specifications, which
called for much more grading, anpar

might not have been the lowest bidder

NO WONDER HE WAS

Being scared sick and desperately
so, was the experience of a Mexican
logger near Mormon Lake. He be-
came entangled in a skidder line and
was thrown high into the air When
he came down he was put upon a
stretcher and brought to town, where
he received medical treatment; but
was unable to move so much as a
finger. Cautiously trying various
parts Of his anatomy the next tmorning
he found out that he was perfectly in

Speed Is Big Factor to
Be Considered With Oil

Speed is not only a factor to be con-
sidered in oil economy, but a handy
method of testing for oil dilution. If
the car is not driven over 30 miles an
hour, as in city driving, gallon OF
oil in the crankcase may last for 1000
miles, yet the wise owner is faced
with the possibility of considerable
oil dilution, since short runs in the
car mean excessive use of the choker.
When he suspects that there is lot
of gasoline in the oil he steers for the
open road and runs fast fer, awhile,
watching the oil level carefully. II the
level does not drop rapidly the oil is in
good condition, but If it becomes neces-
sary to add a quart or two he knows
that he has been driving with far too
great a gasoline content

Battery Posts Need Care

Did you ever wonder why the en-
CINE does not show the accustomed
pep or why the lights burn dimly or
the ignition seems poor? Unfasten
the wires and bars at the battery teR
minals and notice if they are clean.
They must be clean if current is to
flow freely Scrape off with stick
any green or white deposit you see,
and spread a little cup grease over
the parts to prevent corrosion.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-03-05

When the crankshaft turns over
with a steady and unusual resistance
it probably means that there is de-
post of gummy substance under the
piston rings. This may be removed
by putting an ounce or two Of kero-
sene through the petcock Of the en-
CINE with the spark plug wire discon-
nected to that cylinder for few min
utes.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-03-05
AUTOMOBILE BIG
FARM NECESSITY
Only Real Drawbacks Are
Original Cost and Com
sequent Upkeep.


The average man living some dis
lance from town has found the auto
mobile a very necessary part Of his
equipment. In fact, he would, once
he realizes it's full Importance, just
about as soon part with his right hand
as to get along without car. The
only real drawbacks are the original
cost and the upkeep. Ways are be-
ing found to reduce both. First, buy
a good car and then secondly keep 1t
in AL condition.
Years Not Mileage.
Statistics show the average life of
the automobile to be about five or six
years years mileage or service.
1t is doubtful If the average farmer
runs his car over 5000 to $500 miles
per year. AT this rate his total mile
age in six years would be 1900 to
10000 miles In round numbers. But
no automobile ought to be worn out
from this mileage The fact is, that
the car that is ready for the junk
heap after $4,000 to 10000 miles,
whether used one year or six, has very
likely been abused either through ig-
norance, carelessness or neglect With
proper care the average car should
give many times this mileage.
This is an age of specialists. Why
not let the boys on the farm learn to
keep the cars in repair? At least one
boy on every farm ought to be me-
chanic-to keep the car, the truck,
tractor and the rest of the farm ma
chinery at the top notch of efficiency.
1t is not only the cost of the repair
job-labor and parts-but the time lost
that counts. A great many big repair
bills can be avoided entirely by the
timely care and attention that any
fairly good mechanic and handy man
can give, to say nothing of increased
life of the machinery.
Change Oil Often.
The careful car operator will change
oil often, every 500 to 1000 miles, and
never take a chance on cheap or I'M
known oils 1t never pays to guess
there's enough oil to get to town"
You may get there without apparent
trouble, but later on you learn that
your motor has been seriously dam
aged. At your leisure you can trace
this back to the time or times when
you took a chance"
Watch the ammeter. 1t will give
you timely warning of electrical trou-
bles. If the hand wavers unsteadily
or remains at zero, the cause should
be located at once. Look for loose
connections and if this doesn't rem
edy it then it is best to have some
competent auto electrician make tests
which will show what must be done.
A timely inspection may prevent a
burned-out armature which may cost
the car owner $40 to $50, depending
on the car
Watch the battery carefully, espe-
cially in the winter to keep it fully
charged. A fully charged battery
won't freeze. Don't forget that you
don't, as a rule, drive as much in win
ter and, therefore, your generator
doesn't have the chance to charge the
battery as thoroughly as in summer;
besides your car starts or cranks much
harder in the winter on account Of
cold motor and CONCEALED (thick) oil
This has a tendency to discharge or
run down your battery much more
quickly than in summer.

This difficulty is overcome by provid-
ing a luggage carrier Of the kind
shown in the drawing, which is also
convenient for statesmen. Two go
inch lengths of pinch angle iron are
securely bolted to the frame under the
rear end of the car, with the ends pro-
jecting about Is inches. Across these
ends is bolted brace of 1-inch angle
iron, long enough to be bent over to
permit fastening the ends to the fen
ders with short bolts. A piece of L
inch board just long enough to fit on
the frame thus made, is provided with
cleats, and serves as a floor on which
the luggage is carried. The carrier
may be enameled to match the color

Attaching Frame Bolts

1t is sometimes rather difficult to get
bolts that run through the frame chan
nels back in place after they have
been removed. Where these bolts are
drilled to take a cotter pin the sim
plest way to replace them is to run a
piece of wire through the frame hole
and then out through the hole in the
bolt. The bolt may then be drawn
through the hole.

Worn Cylinders Cause Trouble

One of the sources of engine trou-
BILE is due to worn cylinder walls.
These wear most at the top, causing
the cylinders TO become tapered and,
therefore, permitting oil and gas to
leak past the piston rings. A lengthy
and costly operation of reboring and
the use of diversified piston rings are
required where the cylinder walls are
cast en- bloc.
