New Spark Plugs
Prove Revelation
to Drivers
Starting, Power, Speed, All Inn
prove When Old Sets Are
Changed Engineer Explains
By o. C.. R0hde
Chief Engineer, Champion Spark
Plug Co.

Motor car owners long ago learned
that changing Oil at regular intervals
is most efficient and economical
practice. Similarly owners have
learned, by actual experience and by
advice given by car manufacturers
through their instruction books, that
it is also economical and effective to
replace all spark plugs every 10000
miles, or at least once year.
That efficient spark plugs only
should be used at all times is proved
in theory, in the laboratory and in
actual tests in thousands of cars on
the road. These new spark plugs
more than pay for themselves by the
savings they effect and by the i'm
provement in engine performance
that results from their installation.
Practically every type of internal
combustion engines fires it's charge
every other revolution of the crank
shaft. This means that the plugs
must deliver the firing spark from
500 to 1900 times per minute, accord
ing to the speed of the engine. The
temperature around the firing points
varies, after the engine is warmed,
from 600 to 1900 degrees Fahrenheit,
the average being around 1900. In
most motors, also, oil is constantly
being splashed on and burned off the
plugs.
This tremendous heat and stress,
due to the rapidly alternating COM
preston and firing strokes, grad
ually affects the spark plugs efficien-
cy, no matter how well they may be
made. They will continue to fire and
ignite the cylinder mixtures indefin-
itely, but combustion is not nearly so
complete. The products of combus-
ton gradually adhere to the surface
of the core and eventually induce
leakage of the electric current. This
after time weakens the spark. The
electrodes, pitted and oxidized by the
heat and the incessant sparkling, in
crease electrical resistance.
AS the spark loses it's intensity at
the firing points engine operation is
necessarily impaired. Full power is
not obtained from the gasoline. The
engine becomes sluggish. Accelera-
ton is slower. Starting is more diff
ficult. The engine lacks pull on the
hills. Unconsumed gasoline seeps by
the pistons and dilutes the crankcase
oil, affecting fabrication and many
times causing serious injury to work
ing parts.
This process is so slow that if the
motorist notices it at all he is likely
to attribute it to carbon, poor oil or
some other incorrect cause. The
operation is actually about the same
as driving with partially retard
spark or too rich a mixture.
The installation of a new set of
plugs every 10000 miles, or at least
once a year, proves a revelation to

MONTEVIDEO DOCTOR
.NVENTS SOAP SUDDER

DR.. Henry A. Roust, Montevideo
has obtained a patent on soap dis
penser, which is being manufactured
BY Cleveland concern on a royalty
basis.
Under the old system, the Monte
video News said, a soap salesman
would sell barrel of liquid soap and
throw in a couple of dispensers free,
which he could afford to since it
wasted so much soap.
Under the new invention, DR.. Roust
said it would be more logical to sell
the dispenser and throw in the soap
free, because of the savings affected.
By the push of button, the soap
comes out already lathered. Accord
ing to the News, DR.. Roust is not a
chronic inventor, and this was his
"first offense."

GRAVEL, AS A STATE
RESOURCE, ENDANGERED

While much talk is heard on game
and forest conservation, no one has
given much thought to the gravel
supply of the state, which is being
threatened with exhaustion by cheap
grading, according to H. R. Bray,
county superintendent of highways,
speaking before the Worthington,
Kiwanians.
Gravel, unlike lakes or woods, which
can be artifcially restored, cannot be
replaced, once it is mined out. Three
principal ways of conservation were
pointed out-paving, use of asphaltic
or bituminous binders known as
"oilers."
Whenever the cost Of building and
maintaining gravel surfaces reach
es a point where the sum total is
greater than the principal and inter-
est on bonds necessary to provide a
higher type of surfacing, it is no
longer economical to maintain high
way as a gravel road.

Outstanding among the features
Immediately apparent is the fact
that, while the mechanism is above
the food storage compartment, it is
concealed beneath a fiat top. The
cabinet is unusual in that there has
plainly been an attempt to build
furniture beauty into the design. The
vertical edges are beveled and the
top has received the same treatment.
The satin chromium latch and hinges
show the influence of Art Moderne
and there is a temperature regulator
escutcheon plate in harmony with
them.
Asked for interesting facts on the
history and development of his lat
est product, B. ]. Grigsby, president
of the corporation, outlined the high
lights as follows: "The refrigerating
unit is the result of the mature ex
perience of one mans, c. E. Lipman's
lifetime, supplemented by corps of
experts gathered together under H.
E. Kranz, vice president in charge OF
engineering, for one purpose, namely,
the construction of a commercially
perfect refrigerating mechanism.

listing refrigerator designs, coupled
with exhaustive research. 1t is con-
structed with an accuracy of work.
manship unusual in any industry. 1t
is, first of all, a quality product; in
fact, it may more properly be de-
scribed as a super-quality product,
since in no case has any desirable
feature been sacrificed to reduce cost
of manufacture. We believe that we
have, by taking advantage of the
latest engineering developments and
the most advanced manufacturing
technique, produced domestic refri-
gerator that represents the last word
in present day accomplishment. y

MAN FALLS ON FORK
TOOTH, PIERCES EYE

In prodding away a bunch of hogs,
Charles Buckeye, Heron Lake, lost
his balance and fell forward, the fork
tooth piercing his eyeball and cutting
an artery.
His son heard the squealing of hogs
and the barking of the dog, and when
he arrived he found the dog keeping
the angry animals from his father.
After removing the fork, he called
for the hired man, and he was taken
to a car. He died as they reached
the Heron Lake hospital. He was 60
years old.

FAIRMONT MAN DIES AS
QUACK DIGGER DRAGS
AND MANGLES BODY

Frank Cushing, Fairmont, former
ly of Wells, was found dead under
meath the quack grass digger by a
motorist passing by, who noticed the
tractor stuck in a ditch with wheels
turning, and no one in sight.
The body was found covered with
weeds and dirt, and had been dragged
across the field, through wire fences,
and meadows before it came to a
stop. Apparently, the man had step
ped off the moving machine to tend
to the quack digger, when he fell or
was caught by his clothing.

the motorist who has not experienced
its advantages in other years. The
difference in engine operation is so
marked as to be unmis taxable. Start
ing is much easier. Power and pick
up are better. There is more speed.
Engine operation is improved in
every way. And the owner actually
saves more than the cost of the new
spark plugs in oil and gasoline alone.
After 10000 miles of driving, a
cars spark plugs lose efficiency to
such an extent that their further use
entails loss of gasoline and oil. Ex-
perience has shown that it actually
saves more than the outlay to install
a complete new set. The Champion
Spark Plug Company has established
a regular period when millions 'of
motorists make this change. Cham
pion National Change Week this
year is May to IL.
Thorough cleaning of spark plugs
makes a distinct difference in the en-
gine's operation but complete renewal
of all the plugs will make a still
greater Observation-Disclosures.

In the Cotton Markets
(BY Thomson 3 McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Cotton
continued its impartial attitude Civ
ing neither friend nor foe en-
couragement. It's resistance to pres
sure is apparent, but what it could
do if trade buying were augmented
by a public demand, no one knows,
because that character of buying is
reduced to the merest threat.
We do not doubt that handicapped
as it . is by makeshift legislation
and other attempts to supplant the
laws of supply and demand, nature,
which is never in a hurry, is grad
ually working out the problem of
oversupply.
We base our friendly attitude to-
ward cotton on the fundamental
principle that neither cotton nor
anything else can be produced over
an indefinite period at a loss to the
producer.
There is no sentiment in our con-
clusion and it carries with it no
positive belief that the south will
profit by its recent.

By Scrtpps-Hot1drd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-De-
feated in his initiated tax reform
election, Governor (Alfalfa Bid
Murray of Oklahoma will make his
next bid for presidential consider
alton here Jan. Is, when he delivers
one of the principal addresses at the
twenty-fifth national convention of
the Anti-Saloon League of America.
Politicians are awaiting with
much interest the keynote" speech
on prohibition which Murray is
understood to be preparing.
I'll give them new idea on pro-
hibition," he has said. "It may not
please all the radicals, but I will go
right down the line"
The convention of the Anti
Saloon League, Jan. 1919, is re-
garded as one of the most important
in its history, owing to the presi-
Dental campaign, the increasing
pressure of modification forces and
the fact that congress is in session.
