The river banks could be cleaned this fall and winter to great advantage and help appearance of the ‘‘city beautiful” for next spring and summer. We believe the town appeared more attractive this year than ever before because of the united efforts to clean up and keep the city looking neat, by planting flowers and shrubs and keeping the weeds down. There are several things for next year. Clean the river banks, plant flowers at the entrance points to the city, provide a tourist camp and rest rooms. It pays to make people talk favorably about your community, EDDY * « * * * Over at Wabash the other day, Judge Frank 0. Switzer in circuit court had a sour stomach and he certainly did hand it out to those who ’ere unfortunate to face him that morning. Within a half an hour ho sentenced four people to prison. Charles Kesler, 20. drew three to five tears in the reformatory and Anna Huth Clayton, 17, a term at the girl’s Prison, for a joy ride in which they . ha d indulged, Harry Staley of De-, ,r oit got 10 to 20 years in prison for I stealing a few pennies and Marshall ‘ r Gn, a 20-year-old Converse boy, was* sentenced 10 to 20 years for stealing some groceries. Kesler's crime was Perhaps the most serious of all, yet * l6 Sets off the easiest. Sometimes Justice lookj funny after its served U P. A young woman of this city died in a hospital yesterday or a fractured

skull received when an automobile 1 party of which she was one, cnpdzed in a ditch south of Fort Wayne, a 1 short distance 0:1 the previous eve-1 nlng. The driver of the wrecked cur | says the tragic accident was caused by suddenly swerving from the center of the road to escape collision with', I another automobile parked without ■ lights at the side of the highway. The 1 * I darkened car, containing a man and n women, drove away when the acci-j, dent occurred. This version of the 1 1 accident is entirely plausible; no one I I familiar with what is common ulong : the highways just outside the <ity|' < at night will question It. The spec- , taele of automobiles parked at the roadside wit!) lights out may be seen in multiplied instances any night by anyone who lacks information about . that and desires it. Motorists who | drive the country highways at night know all about it. They see it fre-J quently and have been irritated by it 1 • Il . as a needless addition to road hazards i I many times. The automobile “petting party” as a modern social institution for two has come into a great vpgue. I It ought to be abolished as a nuisance and a danger, for it is both. The law requires that motor ears standing on streets or highways shall have lights displayed front and rear. The car parked at the roadside frequently has no lights at all. That is a violation of the law. A campaign by the proper peace authorities against this dangerous practice would do much to put a stop to it. There is good reason both in morals and in public safety to proceed against it. There are too many natural and inescapable hazards of the road to tolerate the creation of any that are both needless and evil. Break it up.—Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette.

NO FROST DAMAGE (Continued from page one) time, it is said. Indications ar« that the sugar beet crop this year will be one (if the largest and best in a number of years. Frost In Wabash Valley Terre Haute, Sept. 14. —Heavy frost was recorded throughout the' ■AVabish valley today, the weather bureau announced. The tornperai ire dropped to 38 and the sky clear'd early during the night. Light frosts were reported from some other I sections of tile state, but the frost, here was tile heaviest in many years for such an early date. — - n Detmore Baby Dies Fortland. Sept. 14. —The infant | daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harr I) ta- | more. East Walnut street, was buried i yesterday afternoon at one o’clock 1 at Green Park cemetery, following a

I short service at tile grave conducted ' by the Rev. W. Everett Hogan, pastor of the Methodist church. The baby was born Tuesday afternoon at onethirty at the Jay county hospital and died that evening at seven-thirty. Mrs I Detamore is recovering and is as well | as can be expected. She is the (laughI ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Bryson, this city. The Brysons formerly resided iri this city and Mr. Bryson was the local opi rator for the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad company. CARD OF THANKS j We wish in this way to sincerily thank all the neighbors and friends who so kindly helped us in any way during the sickness and death of our wife and mother, Mrs. AA’m. Spuller.

Unlike conventional designs, the clutch and transmission gears are lubricated by the engine oil except for some cars produced during 1921 when these parts were separately lubricated. The piston material is cast-iron and each piston is fitted with three rings and six oil return holes unde: the third ring. A moderate compression of 60 lbs. is carried. Oil is distributed to all the working parts by a splash circulating . system. The fly-whtel acts as a pump to carry oil up to a strainer pocket on the right side of the engine. After filtering, the oil flows through tubes in the crankcase to the main bearings under slight pressure and also to the splash troughs. From these,it is distributed to all other engine parts by the splash created by the connecting rod dippers. The clutch, transmission gears and bearings, also the front univer sal joint, receive their oil supply from the spray thrown by the fly-wheel. When the clutch and transmission gears are lubricated by the cn gine oil it is desirable, in order to pro vide the maximum of protection M for the gear teeth which often operate under heavy loads, to use as heavy a lubricating oil as can be employed without causing excessive ' I “dragging” of the clutch. The use of oil return holes in the piston under the third piston ring as employed in the Overland design, tends to prevent any excess oil reaching the combustion chambers and consequently reduces the < tendency toward carbon formation. Should carbon accumulate, the moderate compression minimizes the tendency of the fuel to knock. In cold weather, it is necessary, where distribution of the oil is by splash, to use an oil which will flow free: ■ and readily create a fine spray at low temperatures. Otherwise, 50...- o. the working parts may not be lubricated. To minimize the clutch drag due to thicken- ■ ing of the oil on the contact surfaces it is desirable to use a more fluid oil in winter weather. To meet these special features of Overland Four design, we advise for the engine the use in summer of Gargoyle t .obiioiP’A and in winter of Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic. For the transmission of those 1921 models, not lubricated by the engine oil, use Gargoyle Mobiloil “C.” The same grade should be used in the differential of all models. 1 next tuesday 1 we will tell yo 1 about the Cor- fvjg.
