FORD CAR HAS MANY REFINEMENTS Body nnd Mechanical Improvements Meet PublicApproval. The Ford Motor Company, Detroit, has Just made public a list of recent improvements in the mechanical features of Ford cars. Asserting that Ford cars are bettor today than theyo ever have been before, the statement adds that fuel consumption is lower; the engine is even more efficient than formerly; improvements in the springs and steering apparatus insure easier riding and driving qualities, a new head lamp lens, which complies with all state laws, improves the road light; and that many other minor betterments have been made. Ford pistons nnd connecting rods have been re-designed and are match ed for weight before assembling into motors. Tills reduces vibration and gives tile motor a quicker pick-up. Tlie new pistons weigh three-quart-ers of a pound less than those formerly used. A highly polished crank shaft bearing surface also reduces wear and, added to the piston and connecting rod improvements, insures a smoother-running and better balanced motor. The material used in the Ford crankshaft and the care and precision in its manufacture make it second to none. The new Ford carburetor gives increased acceleration. Though not radically different from the carburetor previously used, the new construction improves the all-around performance of the motor, giving it a quicker pick-up and a greater flexibility of action. The wiring system has been completely re-designed, and while it costs more to install than the old system is most efficient, proof of ' which is evidenced by the fact that it affords a fire insurance rate as low as the higher priced cars on the I market. Many other changes have been made: A 16 in. steering wheel is now I standard equipment: Timken roller I bearings are used in the front wheels one-piece pressed steel running-board brackets insure body rigidity and I eliminate vibration and body noises; , a dash weather-trough prevents rain from reaching coil terminals or dash wiring; the steering mechanism has also been improved; and the tools i supplied to purchasers of Ford cars I have also been improved in quality. ' Another important improvement in the truck chassis is the adoption of i cord tires as standard equipment on the rear wheels. The change made some time ago in the seating arrangement of the Touring Car has met with widespread approval. By lowering the seats and altering the seat backs, greater comfort was added. It is pointed out that retail sales of a million cars and trucks yearly, and the consumption of paw and finished products at a cost of approximately one million dollars a day makes it ' oossible to sell Fords a their present low prices and at the same time to produce a car of exceptionally high ’ quality. The Shanahan-Conroy- Auto company are the local dealers for Fords and Fordsons. Chas. Martin from east of the city | looked after business here this morn I ing.

SEASON OPENS TODAY (By Henry L. Farrell, United Press staff correspondent) New oYrk, April 12-(Special to Dally Democrat)—The old ball game, starts today. Some unintelligible grunt like —‘‘‘Cot some one out here” : —will sound from the inners of eight ‘ ump» und the real process of finding out “who's who" in underway. Opening geremonies will consist of al) the usual acts. The groundkeepers with new white dust, the wives of the players and new hats and least considered of all the players. High dignitaries of the game will not be congregated. Commissioner Landis, the big boss, will watch the Browns and the White Sox in Chicago. John Heydler, chief of the National league, will see the Giants and the Robins in New York, and Ban Johnson, proxy of the American league, will Journey to Washington to Hee the promising Senators and I the ruthless Yanks. President Harding will head a delegation of prominent national figures at the Washington game. Star actors will hold the center of the stage in most every park. The honor of pitching will probably fail on Artie Nehf and Walter Reuther in New York; Alexander the Great is expected to work for the Cubs; Stan Coveleskie for the Indians; Carl Mays or Sant Jones for the Yanks; Eppa Rixey for the Reds; Oldman for Detroit; etc. etc. The Giants start the season without Frank Frisch, star second baseman who is out with an infected foot. Ty Cobb probably will not be able to play with the Detroit Tigers and the Yanks are without Ruth and Bob Meusel. SPORT SUMMARY New York —Our pitchers are right and our club is stronger all the way around. We’re going some place.— Charles Ebbets. president of the Brooklyn Robins. New York —We don't win pennants talking but we're pleased with the outlook. —Charles A. Stoneman, pres ident of the Giants. ’ New York —We have a stronger i team than the one which won the pennant for us last year. Os course, ' we think so.—Jacob Ruppert, president of the Yanks. New York —Most of our clubs are improved. The strength of the . league is evenly distributed, ft looks I like a great race with four or five I teams having a fine chance —John Neydler, president of the National I league. > Cleveland —I am not claiming any i pennant in advance of the season’s opening. We have a ball club with the right spirit and we have been strengthened by the acquisition of Stuffy Mclnnis. We are in the race r to fight for that rag and we are not conceding it to anybody in advance. —Tris Speaker, manager Cleveland > Indians. ■ Cleveland —We are not afraid of ■ anybody or any team. The Tigers I are now going through a sort of reI construction period and so I have I nothing on which to base any predicj tion. But the other clubs will know I we are in the race. —Ty Cobb, manI ager Detroit Tigers I Cincinnati —We will have a hustI ling National league team this year I and one which I believe will improve I its position over the sixth place finI ish of the Reds last year. New faces I have created added interest in our I club and I look for a good season I financially.—August Herrmann, presI ident Cincinnati Reds.

Chicago—We have the best young ball team in the league. With a stronger catching department, better pitching staff and fast infield and out field, we’re going to raise hell.—Wip. L. Veeck. president Chicago National league. Chicago — The American league I pennant fight will be one of the best I in years. The year promises to be an eventful one for the league.—Ban Johnson, president American league. Chicago—Of course nobody can tell in April what the situation will be in August, but all indications now are encouraging for 1922 in both majors and miners. Generally speaking ,the years’ morale is good and what 1 hope for is to see the fellow lat the bottom of the league shorten the distance between themselves and I the top notchers. Therefore I am a rooter for the team in the cellar whoever it may be. —Judge Landis, high commissioner of baseball. Chicago—The White Sox will make it hot for seven other clubs in the league this year. With two additional pitchers to take their turns on the mound and a snappy infield and outfield we have a fighting club—Charles Comiskey, president Chicago White Sox.

To the Democrats of Indiana: I am a candidate for the nomination for United States Senator from Indiana. Beginning on the 13th day of January, 1913, I had the honor of serving the people of Indiana for four years as their Governor, and I am willing, in my candidacy for the senatorship, to be judged by the record 1 made as chief executive of my state. As Senator, I shall stand for the rule of the people and work for economy and efficiency in our government Samuel M. Ralston Advertisement

PURDUE LAMBS SHOW PROFITS Show Standard Ration of Corn, Clover Silage and Cottonseed Meal Best By County Agent A load of lambs hed at the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment station recently sold returned the largest profit ever received from any load of stock fed at that institution. The net profit for the load was $1203. This contrasts with the returns from a load o( lambs fed last year when the largest losses ever sustained from fettling a load of stock at that institution occured. The lambs were fed to test the value of clover hay and oats straw as roughages for fattening lambs and to secure information on the most profitable quantitie sos corn to feed on such animals. All lots received corn silage. The results show clearly that clover hay or some other leguminous is far superior to oat straw or other nonleguminoius roughage for lambs. If leguminous roughage is not available, a liberal allowance of nitrogenous concentrates like cottonseed meal or linseed old-meal is a great benefit to the ration. Limiting theamount of corn was not as profitable as allowing as much grain a stho lambs would oat. The lambs on full feed gained more rapidly and more economically than those receiving half feed of corn or those fed corn during the latter part of the feeding peroid only. The only profitable ration of the test consisted of shelled ■orn, cottonseed meal, clover hay and :orn silage. Lambs fed this ration returned a profit of $6.03 per head. “The high profits of this year compared to the extremely heavy losses of last year cannot fail to impress the livestock man with the necessity of following consistently from year to year as well considered plan of livestock production,” said F. G. King of the animal husbandry staff. “The man who tries to be in when everything looks good and out when conditions appear less favorable is too often out at the wrong time. The man who follows a definite program encounters losses during years of general losses hut the profits during prosperous years more than compensate for the losses for bad years. “ I Never Knew You Could Keep Rats Out of a Butcher Shop.” What Ralph Watkins says: “Figured rats around store had enough to feed on; wouldn’t touch anything suspicious. Heard about RAT-9NAP, gaveit a trial. Results were wonderful. Cleaned all rats out in ten days. Dogs about store night and day never touch RAT-SNAP.” Three sizes, 35c 65c and $1.25.

Writes John Simpkins, farmer of Annandale, N. J.: "Rats were costing me hundreds yearly; tried dogs, ferrets,, poison, could not get rid of them. Bought SI.OO pk of RAT-SNAP (5 cakes). Used half, not a live rat since. Dead ones aplenty. I like RATSNAP because after killing rats it dries them up—leaves no smell.” Three sizes, 35c, 65c and $1.25.
