JACK PULLS OUT MIRED MACHINE It Often Happens That Automobilist Gets His Car Into Deep Mud Hole. IMPLEMENT VERY EFFECTIVE In Case Auto Is Not Too Firmly Imbedded or Stalled It Can Be Brought to Solid Ground Without Much Difficulty. — Sometimes the automobllist accidentally gets his car in such a position in a mud hole, over a bank, or in a similar predicament, that the power of the car has no effect in helping itself out. In that case, where thenar is not too firmly imbedded or skilled, the wheel-jack can be brought to the rescue. A tree or post and some rope are also required. Loop Rope Around Tree. Lash the rope to the necessary axle and loop it loosely about the tree or post. Then carry it back to the car and lash the remaining end to the same axle. Now take the jack and shorten it up as much as possible and set it between the tree and the ropes, away from the car. If too much slack occurs, take it up by retying one end of the rope on the axle. Block the Wheels. When in the proper position, extend the jack as far as it will go. If this has caused the car to move, block the ■■ j n . With the Jack Pulling Against the Rope, the Car Is Very Easily Hauled Out of the Mud. wheels. If not, compress the jack again and take up any resulting slack in the rope. Repeat this operation as frequently as necessary, blocking the car each time so it will not return to its old position. In time it can be pulled out to the road again. Place jack as low down on tree as possible so leverage of pulling will not tend to pull the tree itself. —Popular Science Monthly. TAKE RATTLES OUT OF HOOD Noise May Be Silenced by Drilling Series of Holes in Band and Tying With Leather. A hood that has a tendency to rattle with the vibration of the motor may be silenced by drilling a series of holes in the band of metal on which the hood rests and threading a strip of leather through the holes. In this way the hood rests on leather instead of metal, so that it cannot make a noise. ARRANGING TOOLS IN GARAGE j Splendid Idea to Give Device a Number and Place in Corresponding Number in Rack. An admirable idea in the arrangonent of tools in the home garage is to give each tool a number, which is painted on it. The same number is i painted on the walls or racks in the place where the tool belongs. In this way it is a simple matter to retmli each tool to its proper place, so that it is ready when it is next needed. When Motor Weakens. If the engine develops a weakness on a hill consider the conditions neci essary to product* power ignition, carbu'etion, compression, lubrication and cOOi.ng. By going over each one of the above in turn you will probably find the trouble and save a trip to the repair shop. Electrical Connections. Don't fail Io examine electrical connections, gasoline and oil lines and bolts and nuts occasionally, and sue that everything is intact.

I tirL tread design IS VERY IMPORTANT Has Much to Do With Ease of Steering a Car. Especially So on Large Machines Where Contact With Road Surface Is Broad—Two Styles of Tires Complicates Matters. The tread design of an automobile tire may be a matter of small consequence to the driver of a small car. but every driver of a heavy car knows that the tread configuration has a good deal to do with the ease with which the car may be steered. On the smaller cars the area of the tread that is In contact with the road surface is so small that an improper design may cause little trouble. But when a heavy car settles down on Its tires, the driver finds himself called on for the exercise of constant attention and effort to keep the car from swerving off the rond. if the tread design is improper type. One point on which all motorists agree Is that the tires on the rear wheels should be of a good non skid pattern no 4 that the front tires should have a 'read design that will keep them running ahead in a straight line with a minimum of steering effort on the part of the driver. The ideal tire tread is one that can be used with equally good results on any wheel, either front or back. Given such a tire a motorist need carry only M^spare, and his car is always evenly balanced, no matter what tire changes he makes. But if one style tread is used on the front wheels and another on the rear, the motorist will usually carry two spares, one of each type. Having two types furnishes a further complication when it is desired to shift partly-worn tires from the hardworking rear wheels to the front wheels, in order to get a few thousand miles more wear out of them before they go to the scrap heap. The non-skids used on the rear may not be suited for front wheel purposes.

“LAND OF PLENTY" Western Canada a Country o! Marvelous Fertility. Literally Hundreds of Miles of Wen derful Grain Fields Delight the Eye —Yields Will Run Well Over a Billion Dollars. A trip through the wheat fields ol I Western Canada may lack the inspira- ' tion, such as one may find working in- i sidiously through his being as he traverses the mountain areas of' Canada, rich in the variety of color | and depth of shades that they cast, wonderful in their magnitude, their I grandeur, restful, wen although the streams that flow from their sides come down with a swish and a swash creating a noise that makes one’s eardrums beat their last beat. Then as we rest beside the lakes In the clouds and see the calm and peace which they enjoy in the midst of nestling hills, we wonder If there’s another world. Care has vanished; all we want is to dwell upon the scene. But It was not the intention to speak of mountain scenery, roaring torrents, placid lakes, and restful haunts, j Rather, we were about to epeak of the other kind of inspiration that is aroused as one traverses Western Canada’s immense plains, gridlroned with railroads and splendid highways, j along whose borders and away back are to be seen the most wonderful grain fields. The crops of wheat, oats, barley, flax, and corn—yes, corn—have just been harvested, the threshing machines are busy, the elevators are ready—the thirty and forty thousandbushel elevators, with three, four, and five and more at nearly every station along the thousand miles of railway that serve this immense new area of agricultural land. There is not a more inspiring sight than these grain fields. They lead one to pause and reflect, get one into a mental arithmetic strain, and the mind wanders as it gathers the great length of figures that represents the Western Canada grain crop of 1920. A pencil and paper are needed, for the value will run into ■nd over a billion dollars. At least, that is what those who profess to keep themselves posted as to values believe. The wheat crop alone will run over 250.000.0P0 bushels, and if you figure this at $2.80 per bushel, the price it Is selling at as we write, there you have $700,000,000 alone. Tlien there Is the oat crop, with a yield of one hesitates to say the quantities in bushels, for the threshers are reporting yields of 110 and 120 bushels per acre, where but 8(1 and 90 bushels were expected, but their value, apart from that of barley and rye and flax, will carry us over the billion dollar mark. Os course all this means—but w« had almost forgotten to speak of the cattle and horses, the sheep and the pigs, the dairy and many other farm products, the increase and production of which this year will bring in many more million dollars —all this means that there will be a rush of buyers to Western Canada this fall, during the winter, and next spring. A certain amount of satisfaction is derived by those “back home here,” whose friends are writing them in- ; dorslng the statements that are appearing in the press of wheat yields of thirty, forty, and fifty bushels to the acre; of oats yielding anywhere from sixty to 120 bushels per acre. Dis-“ tricts have not been specially favored. Travel anywhere, eight hundred miles east and west, four hundred miles north and south, and it is the same story, splendid yields, good acreage, excellent prices, easy marketing, but > labor a little scarce.—Advertisement Unconsciously True. “Mollie met a skin doctor who says he can take away wrinkles and make old faces as good as new.” "I guess he does it with one of them new-fangled things they call wrinkle prevaricators.” A bill poster knows his place and [ there sticks.
