SAVES DRIVER’S TIME

CLOSES GARAGE DOORS.
Purchaser of Automobile Has a Right
:o Demand Many Things He Usu
ally Forgets—Always Best to
Buy From Local
Dealer.
The man who buys a secondhand au
tomobile may throw his money away
unless he knows exactly the condition
of the car. Better pay an expert to
go over It, thoroughly examining all
the parts, before the deal is closed.
While it may seem cheap, it may
prove very expensive. My neighbor
bought a second-hand car for $150 and
before he got it going just right it
cost him nearly as much as a new one,
says a writer in Farm Progress.
Again it may not pay to purchase
too cheap a new car. They may prove
too light and dance around over the
road. Then the very expensive and
heavy cars hang up In the mudhole
more easily and, besides, eat up the
gasoline very rapidly. The medium
sized car with durability serves the
farmer well and gives him good satis
faction.
It is better to buy from some good
local dealer. You know just what your
car will cost you and do not have to
worry about the freight or putting the
car together. The honest local dealer
will give you a good deal and prob
ably wait on you for part of the
money. Have it in the bargain that
the dealer is to keep your car In re
pair for six months or a year, for you
are most likely to call on him several
times during the period. Another ad
vantage of purchasing from the local
dealer; he will teach you how to run
your car. Before he turns it over to
you he will see that you understand
all that Is necessary about it Then
there will not be much likelihood of
you trying to climb a telephone pole
with your new machine.
Remember to use the best grade of
gasoline and the purest of lubricating
oil and transmission grease. Oil is
much cheaper than automobile steel
and the elbow grease it takes to make
the repairs. It pays to spend time In
looking after the oiling of your ma
chine. You will probably have more
little troubles the first six months than
In a year, or so afterward, but these
will he easily remedied, and in doing
the work you have a good opportunity
to study and understand your car.
The upkeep or cost of running will
depend largely on the owner of the
car. The man who is careful with his
farming implements and keeps them
In perfect running order will have but
little trouble with a car. The fellow
who tears up his farm machinery and
lets it rattle to pieces will be hard on
his motor car. The greatest wear is
on the tires, and one man has figured
this to be about a cent a mile or less.
A gallon of lubricating oil will run
100 miles, and a gallon of gasoline will
propel the average car from 15 to 20
miles. Without any serious accidents,
the repairs on the car will not average
much over a dollar a month. Thff'rate
at which the car is run will have much
to do with the cost of running and re
pairs.
Another point, be courteous to
the man driving the teams along tfie
highway. Don’t shoot your car right
up under the noses of his horses to
see if they will scare before turning
out of the way. You may cause a run
away and an accident for which you
will always be sorry.
Task Hitherto Has Been One of the

The cowboy characteristic which
makes him resent being compelled to
dismount for any purpose must have
been handed over to the chauffeur, for

It Is necessary to keep the doors of
the garage closed for the protection
of tools and other articles which may
be exposed within, so that as the
chauffeur leaves the house he must
dismount to close the doors after the
departure, and upon his return he
must dismount again for the purpose

By repairing your cuts you cut your

A little glass cut, a nail hole, or
any abrasion that penetrates the rub

a way for dirt and moisture to creep
in. In many an apparently perfect
tire, when removed from the wheel
and deflated, is found a loose tread,
under which are dirt and moisture,
rotting the fabric.
If you have ever found a tire in this

Colored Man Imagined He Saw Spooks
When Headlights of Automo-
ble Dazzled Him.
Touring in Maine may have its draw
backs on account of the rough roads,
but according to one man, there are
many funny incidents to break the mo
notony of had highways. '
“We were on a dark, narrow road
one night, somewhere between Port
land and Lake Sebago,’’ he said. “The
road was covered with trees forming
tunnel. It was about half past
eleven and a little foggy. A few yards
ahead there was a cemetery with faint
outlines of the white tombstones show
ing. The searchlights picked out a
one-horse wagon coming toward us
with a darky holding the reins. As I
sounded the siren horn as a warning,
the colored man was seen to give one
convulsive leap and disappear back
down the road with the speed of
scared rabbit. We had to stop the
car, turn the horse around and lead
him back to the village. We have nev
er seen the driver since and can only
imagine that the nearness of the
graveyard, the big blinding search
lights and nerve-racking sound of the
horn was too much for Rastus.”
Too Much Bull Run.
An automobilist relates that he was
driving a party over the battlefield of
Bull Run recently. While passing
through a lane the car was suddenly
confronted by an irate bull. One of
the lady passengers in the car
screamed to run him down. Another
young lady who wore a red cap and
red raincoat jumped to the ground
and started to throw clods at the an
imal. This only seemed to make him
angrier, and just as he was about to
charge, one of the passengers sounded
the electric horn. The unexpected
sound was too much for the bull and
he turned tail, charged around the
corner of the house, taking part of the
porch with him. The owner of the
house and the bull was not at all back
ward, he did not even apologize, but
insisted that we pay him for the dam
ages done to his property.
pitted with wormholes? If so, you
were tempted to cell it a poor apple,
and yet, generally, investigation would
have shown somewhere that it was pit
ted with wormholes where the worms
crawled in.
Almost without exception the tire
having a loose tread and rotting fabric
is no more at fault than the apple Into
which the worm bored its way.
As the tire revolves a suction is pro
duced, which draws particles of dirt
Into the cnL Gradually these par
ticles work under the rubber, grind
ing and cutting it from the fabric,
neglected, this grinding process will
work around the tire and separate the
whole tread from the fabric. The fab
ric under the tread soakB up some of
the moisture, which causes It to weak
en, and a blowout soon follows.
A tire cut is the most common and
most destructive of all tire troubles,
and yet is the easiest to remedy if
taken in time. It is a good plan to
look over your tires every few days.
It will pay you to repair any cuts, how
ever insignificant they may appear.
You can do this quickly by cleaning
out with gasoline and filling in with
quick-repair gum. A can of this is in
expensive and may save many dollars
worth of tires and lots of trouble.
Rapid deterioration invariably follows
a neglected cut.—Exchange.
The Modern Church.
A professional whistler and a mov
ing-picture show are the latest devices
employed by a church in Seattle to
lure sinners to repentance and point
the way to salvation. While the whis
tler is somewhat of an innovation, the
moving-picture idea has been used for
some time in at least one church In
this state. Evidently the churches
have been forced to the conclusion
that the average sinner insists on be
ing entertained while he is being
saved.—San Francjsco Chronicle.

DRIVER MADE BIG MISTAKE
Probably in the Future He Will Con

Mule in the Ribs.
Elmer Kershaw has a bad opinion
of the roads in the western section of
the Old Dominion, according to the
following tale. Mr. Kershaw writes
the following:
“Of all the muddy roads In this coun
try, that part of the earth west of
Clifton, Va., is the worst. We had
been traveling through red clay ruts
all day, and finally got stuck. We
were in a very lonesome spot, without
a sign of habitation in sight. All of
the passengers in the cars lifted their
voices in a loud ‘hello!’ It happened
that a darky was coming along the
road driving a white mule, and volun
teered to help us out. He hooked the
mule on to the front of the automobile,
but when it came time to start the
animal, it refused to budge. Thinking
to help matters along, 1 got a long
pole and started to punch the mule
in the ribs. The poor old man hol
lered for me to quit, but 1 did not hear
him in time. As soon as the pole
touched the mule’s side he got Into
action, and by the time ke finished
there was not enough of the front of
that automobile left to collect insur
ance."—Washington Star.

In such an emergency a car can be
very satisfactorily raised by running
one wheel, or two, for that matter, on
a stone or piece of timber until It is
sufficiently high for the purpose, block
ing up the axle with timber or stones,
and then removing the stone or block
from under the wheel by deflating the
tire. '
