Heavy oil is being used by many
service stations for chassis lubrica-
ton on new cars. Tight shackIes
are better off with oil, but cars more
than.a year old should have grease.
Starting with oil, however, prevents
clogging troubles which so frequent
ly occur when grease Is the steady
diet.
More pressure can be eXerted with
the hand grease gun of the booster
type than with the large equipment
used in many garages and filing
stations. The hand operation seems
to be more tedious but it does the
work.

the increase it is only a warning OF

Cars Must Be Better

In an old edition of a book on car
care, the list of supplies which
should be carried in a car that goes
a-touring includes 3S different
articles not counting the quantities
of those articles. These do not in
clude the conventional tool-kit
articles such as wrenches, screw
drivers, jacks and tire changing
equipment.
It is somewhat startling to record
that the average motorist nowadays
carries just four Of the articles list
ed: namely. spare headlight bulbs,
spare spark plugs, Oil can and
search or trouble light. Many of
them do not even carry these.
Among the articles that are no
longer deemed necessary as emery
sncy equipment are spark plug
terminals, calcium carbide, coil unit
gaskets, cotter pins, candle wicking,
valves, valve springs, valve grinding
compound, funnel and measure. col
lapsible water pail, gasoline emery

ANSWERS to last weeks questions)
1. A crankweb is one of the parts
of a crankshaft connecting the
crankpins.
2. All the pistons of an engine do
not travel at the same speed stimuli
taneously. This may seem like an
impossibility, but although the ex-
PLANTATION is too technical for in
clusion here it is true nevertheless.
8. Lack of water in the battery
raises the voltage until the plates
buckle and short.
4. If car is left five hours with
its parking light on. assuming aver
age battery and charging conditions,
the current loss can be made up in
fifteen minutes of normal driving.
5. A four-cylinder engine has
one kind of vibration which is less
than in a six of the same power.
This is in the crankshaft. The
shaft in the six, being longer, has
more natural vibration when the
force from a piston is transferred to
it.

AN UNDERPAID PROFESSION
REV. Row T.. Smith,

(Rev. Roy L. Smith,
RIME is the poorest paid pro-
I fession in the world.
- Measured by all those tests
which the world applies to success
the criminal never gets bis share. He
is greatly underpaid considering the
risks involved, the working hours, the
overhead and the expensive training.
Search the records of a nation and
you will scarcely find a professional
criminal who has died rich. Consid-
cradle sums of money may pass thru
his hands but he seldom gets much
benefit out of it. Lawyers, police
fees, court costs, protection, political
pull, witnesses, betrayals and geta-
ways cost too much. The overhead
is excessive considering the profits
of the game.
The criminal walks through life a
lonely man. He seldom, if ever, has
more than one or two pals he can
trust. He looks with apprehension
into the face of every man he meets
lest he be an officer in some new dis
guise.
He lives in the daily company of
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1926-03-10

fear-fear of detection, fear of APP
prehension, fear of frameups, faxed
charges, double crosses, squawkers,
stool pigeons and other gunner.
His money buys less than that OF
an honest man. He is the prey OF
every vulture who wants share OF
his filthy spoils. He cannot go into
the courts and get redress for hrs
wrongs. No one can assure him OF a
square deal. In the land of the free
he is a chained man. He gets only
Justice as he is able to command by
tear or by the, reputation of his trig-
ger finger.
He rarely has home and family.
He knows little or nothing Of the
thrill that comes from having little
children running to meet him at the
close of the days work. Ii he has a
wife he scarcely dares to appear in
any public place in her company.
Martin Durkin, the Chicago gun
man, seemed to lead a spectacular
life and doubtless he will be initial
ed by scores of other boys who
are enamored of the wild adventures
through which he lived. But they for
got the nights he slept in garages
or under sidewalks like hunted rat.
They do not stop to realize that he
was unable to even visit his sweet
heart because of the watchful eye of
the law. 1t is true that he drove a
Cadillac car, but he couldn't sleep two
nights in the same place and dared
not present himself at reputable
hotel and ask for accommodations.
The criminal gets his picture print
ed in the newspapers-but in order
that honest men may identify him
and shun him more severely.
And in the long run he runs afoul
of the law. Few professional GRIM
inals are able to elude the police sue
cessfully for long periods of time.
And life behind steel bars at hard
labor has little glamor about it.
Verify, the way of the criminal is
poorly paid.

THE BUSY MAN

If you want to get a favor done
By some obliging friend,
And want a promise, safe and sure,
On which you may depend,
Don't go to him who always has
Much leisure time to plan,
But if you want your favor done,
Just ask the busy man.
The man with leisure never has
A moment he can spare;
He's always putting Off until
His friends are in despair.
But he whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work
Forgets the art of wasting time
He cannot stop to shirk.
So when you want a favor done
And want it right away,
Go to the man who constantly
Works twenty-four hours day
He'll find moment sure, somewhere
That has no other use,
And fix you while the idle man
Is framing an excuse.

We hope the author of Main Street
reads this; we also hope it gets at
least passing thought from every
one who thinks that every town west
of Chicago is chick" town. 1t was
written by James w. Dean in his
syndicated New York Tales. "But
Broadway is a series of small towns
and the gossip is just as biting and
hit-and-miss as at the Hanktown

that called forth this caustic remark
from Mr.. Dean was absolutely foun-
dationless gossip about Broadway
celebrities.
Do you feel proud of yourself when
you are struck with fine idea, high
motive, worthy purpose? Are you
proud of yourself when you have an
unselfish thought? Perhaps you do
well to carry this word of Henry
Ward Beecher in your pocket: "All
higher motives, ideals, conceptions,
sentiments in a man are of no ac-
count if they do not come forward
to strengthen him for the better dis
charge of the duties which devolve
upon him in the ordinary affairs of
life" Grove Patterson.

the Al Club boys and girls at their

things to the >, youngsters upon whom
depends Redwood County's agricul-
tural future. Not the least of the
things he made clear to his audience
was the difference between seeking
culture and the worth while things,
and going out after entertainment in
an automobile parade led by jazz

Dean Coffey and knowing of the fine
things being done under his direc-
ton at the University Farm has

fore that each year may see more and
