7ir', fig a? We k11 A tire that is overinflated is as badly abused as the one which has not breathed deeply enough. We can give you advice about your tires and your engine and your gears that will be of assistance to you. "You can never tell when some- thing will spoil your motoring fun un- less you give your car the treatment it deserves," says the manager of one of the largest garages in the city. He Tt is regrettable, yet inevitable, that one or two reckless drivers should bring disgrace upon the whole class of motorists. Sound the horn when approaching a turn in the road or the brow of a hill, for another car may be coming to- ward you. "No man likes to ride in a squeaky car and he need not if he will only grease it now and then and look after it just a little bit." “If the, springs and working parts are not kept well oiled there will [be squeaks and rattles. "A well Irerit car runs smoothly, without rattles, and with springs that are kept greased, so that they do not become noisy, Simple things, eas- ily done in a, few minutes every day, add to the life ot a car, and make driving a great deal easier and more comfortable. Brand new cars should be treated with the respect due a. fine piece of machinery and not banged around as is too often the case with many drivers. "The surest way to keep a car run- ning properly, is to break it in grad- ually and then take care of it. A pro- perly oiled and greased automobile will last longer than one who is fed oil in starving rations. C There is one, way to ruin a perfect- ly new automobile that is sure and cer- tain. If you do not believe this, try it. Simply drive your brand new car at high speed for a time and then wonder why it will not pull, PAGE SIX SOME SUGGESTIONS Let us Vulcanize your Tubes.

I Lost Motion May Cause Pounding If a pound in the engine is regular and continuous it is likely to be from lost motion in the bearings. If it is irregular and occasional it is more likely to be, due to iyreignition caused by incandescent carbon or from im- perfect electrical connections. If the pounding is accompanied by oceasion- al missing, especially if the missing is more frequent when the car is running than when the engine is idling, it is more apt to be due to imperfect elec- ,trical connections. In an emergency a temporary taper pin may be filed from an ordinary nail or a stiff piece of wire to replace a taper pin that has broken on the magnetic drive or in some other im- portant location. This repair will serve until a permanent replacement can be made, but it is not in itself permanent. Remove Cylinders In removing the cylinder block from the chassis the utmost care must be taken not to injure the parts. It is very easy to spring the rods out of true if the cylinders are not lifted off straight. For this reason in removing these parts one person should do the handling while a second takes care that no injury is done to the pistons or rods. "It is a shame," says the garage man, that a week end trip or a. long tour should be spoiled by a break- down. Nine times out of ten it could be avoided. When you are out for a. good time you do not think of the gears that are making your car go. It pays to think of these things beforehand, however. warns motorists against the dangers of taking a car on the road without being sure that the hidden mechanical parts are cared for. Milton and vicinity had six more or less serious automobile accidents on Sunday last, The sheep and goat industry in Ca.. nada continues to grow, not only on account of the money to be made from >mutton and wool, but the fact that ‘goats are considered to be immune ( from tuberculosis has been the great factor in the encouragement of milch goat raising in a number of the prov- inces ot Canada. Pamphlet No. 17, a Directory of Breeders and Pure Bred Shee'p and Goats in the Dominion of Canada, issued by the Sheep and Goat Division of the Live Stock Branch and procurable, free upon application, from the Publications Branch, Ottawa, gives the names and addresses of breeders of recognized breeds of sheep and goats in all parts of Canada, On- tario leads in the number of breeders , of pure bred sheep, while goat breed- _ ers are most numerous in British Col- umbia, where the milch goat industry‘ is assuming fairly large proportions. DIRECTORY or SHEEP AND GOAT BREEDERS I Huge Goodyear Plant for Coast l Ground has been broken tor a $26,- 000,000 rubber and cotton plant for Goodyear at Ascot Park, Cal. Deeds cover 550 acres. This plot will be de- veloped with tire and cotton plants. Construction engineers are on their way from Akron to California, and the building of the large plant, which is to employ about 3500, is to be com- pleted this year. The first building will employ 3000 men and will turn out that number of tires each day. As soon as tire production is taken care of the com- pany expects to erect the proposed cotton factory, which will draw its raw material from the cotton fields of Imperial Valley and the Salt; river in Arizona. Autos Aid Italy to Supply Interior Italy has 8700 miles of broad track railroad and 8070 miles of roads over which a regular service is run to time tables. This big development ot mo- tor passenger carrying and good ser- vices is largely explained by the fact that Italy is a mountainous country in which railroads can only be built with difficulty. Most of the main lines follow the coast, leaving the cen- tre of the country undeveloped. This defect has been remedied by the crea- tion of motor lines which link up the railroads and penetrate in the moun- tainous districts where railroad con- struction is costly. If automobile owners could but real- ize the full measure of increased effi- ciency and insurance against trouble which they could secure by intelligent attention, care, and adjustment to their cars, as outlined in their instruc- tion books, the cost of motor car up- keep would decrease, and their satis- faction increase in direct proportion. Converting Grease Cups for ‘Oil It is possible to convert the ordinary screw-in grease cup to the use of oil by putting in it a, small sponge and using a light grade of oil. In this way the oil will be fed gradually and the car owner is relieved of the need for turning down the grease cups at fre- quent intervals, and an oil can with extended spout serves Well tor this. 110 The soft centers of the tomatoes that were removed lend themselves to making scalloped tomatoes. Butter moderately thin slices of bread and cut them in cubes. Mix the cubes with the soft tomato centers, season with celery salt, green pepper and salt and pepper to taste. While baking the tomato shells, place in the oven in a. covered granite dish and bake in a good hot oven about twenty minutes. "Tomato delight" sandwiches afford a relish for the supper when appe- tites are "picky." Cut two thin slices of bread, spread one with peanut bub.. ter and the other with a tart salad dressing. Pare tomatoes and cut in, very thin slices, laying the latter on; the buttered bread, place the other slice on top and cut in triangles. These sandwiches can be varied by using cream cheese in place of the peanut butter and in that case a little red pepper should be shredded and mixed with the cheese. Rice, cheese and tomatoes make another meat sub- stitute. Cook the ride in boiling salt- ed water until it is quite cooked. Have ready some grated cheese, a little green pepper cut fine and the toma- toes peeled and drained after being sliced fine. Mix with the hot rice and bake in a buttered dish in the oven until the top is nicely browned, seeing that the oven is quite hot when the dish is put in. Spread a little soft butter over the dressing in each shell and bake in a hot oven until the shells are quite soft. Children wil eat these tomato shells in preference to meat and grown people get to be equally fond of them. Make a dressing of dry bread, on- ions chooped fine and a shredded green or red pepper. Season with celery salt, salt and pepper and fill the tomato shells. The large round tomatoes are de- licious dressed. Select the biggest, cut a slice off the top, that will make the fruit even, then with a small spoon, take out the centers, leaving only the outer shell of the tomato, about half an inch thick. TOMATOES AS A SUBSTITUTE Now is the time to use the tomato as a. substitute for meat. This much appreciated vegetable is found very plentifully in every garden this Bum- mer for the dry, hot weather has been its best friend. The fruit is very sym- metrical too, another tact that is at- tributed to the lack of wet. it A small boy coming down Main St. 3 driving a horse and waggon, behind s which was tied a German field gun, - advertised the fact that the first an- nual field day of the local branch of ) the G.W.V.A. was over till another r year. Less than a year ago the mighty e conflict was raging and rumor was - rite. The war, as far as we were con- 1 cerned, is now over, but rumor is still s as busy as ever. It is an old story s now about the winning of the auto in V the drawing contest. This draw was one of, if not, the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted in this town, but it nearly proved a disaster for the boys. Stories, which an old Indian ac- I 'r quaintance of mine would call "dam) fool stuff," were circulated by some person or persons to the effect that about two thousand tickets had been sold and that one person alone had , purchased two hundred dollars worth ) of tickets also that the winner's num- [ ber was known by certain vets. All this was foolish stuff, but it created a false impression on the general pub- lic. Then to make matters worse, the terrific storm broke up what would have been a record crowd for Weston but every dark cloud has a silver lin- ing and in this case the sporting spirit of the citizens of Weston came to the rescue and the financial statement, which would have been draped with black crepe, is now a crowning suc- cess. Monday and Wednesday even- ings, especially the latter, proved that the Weston public appreciate a good thing when they see it. It was the best midway ever in town and what is more, the money stays in Weston. The Weston Band, the personnel of which has changed considerably dur- ing the war, proved a special attrac- tion on Wednesday night and the stir- ring music put every one in a merry spirit. Men may come and men may go but the high standard of the local band still stands good. Pages of cold print will never convey to the citizens of Weston the appreciation that the boys wish to show to thecitizens for helping to make the first annual Field Day (in this case days) a, big success. It is just possible that the midway of the Weston Fair will be taken over by the local branch. If this should be de- cided then look "out for a real big thing for experience is the best teach; er. Watch tor information. Our mem- bership roll is growing and gets) an- other big boost this week. The boys. are coming in fast and without asking. Whether Weston branch of the G.W. I V.A. takes over the catering and mid- way of the Fair or not, the Board can rest assured that the boys are behind them in making this year's fair the biggest ever. The town has been be- hind the boys, the boys will now en- deavor to boost the town. WESTON BRANCH General Allenby has been credited with the statement that these little Ford cars were impprtant factors in the success of the brilliant campaigns in Palestine, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Because of them, he was able to trans.. port pnunitions and supplies of all kinds across deserts and sandy wastes with a speed that was marvellous. Lord Wellesley knew what he want- ed and he proceeded to get it. He traded those, six Rolls Royces for two Fords. That is what we said, "two"-- six Rolls Royees for two Fords, and it seems that he drove a good bargain at that. The Ford could make easy going of the roads, which were im- passable to heavier cars. It's a tact, strange as it may seem. The possessor the humble Ford can now look at any car owner with hau- teur and disdain. For beholdh the war has demonstrated that, for swap- ping ability, the Ford is in a class toy itself. Lord George Wellesley, a grandson of the "tron Duke," is the authority for this, hitherto unexpect- ed, value of the "flivver." He was an aviation officer in Egypt, and from the front sent in a requisition to the Army Service Corps for tour Ford cars to carry gasoline across the des- ert. In due tme he received, instead of the Fords, six 1tolls-Ttoyces. Six Rolls- Royces for desert touring, where a heavy car would be stalled in the sand in less than no time!
