this fact when the southside

from Richmond.
Richmond City had a Negro
vote estimated at between $500
and 5000, out Of a total vote
Of $1,000. Roanoke City had

but only 1000 voted yesterday.

THE vote in Fairfax County

Delegate Omer Hirst, Fairfax,
opponent: 1T is obvious that q
majority Of the people Of Vir-

gated schools. 1t also is obvious
from the large number who
voted against the amendment

Hints On Caring For
Farm Machinery

Gas motors on farm machinery,
such as combines, hay balers and
self-powered corn pickers, that will
be stored for the winter months
should have the gasoline drained
from them before storing.
County Agent William H. Hen
derson points out that unless this
procedure is followed, the good
parts of the gasoline evaporates
leaving that portion which is often
referred to as stale gasoline and
has very poor engine starting quali-
ties. This explains why some en-
gines are so hard to start after
they have stood idle for several
months.
Besides having poor starting
ability, the gasoline which is left
ia loaded up with gum which can
plug up caTburetor jets and fuel
screens. Gasoline gum is almost
impossible to clean out of car
buretor.
