Changstrom Finds West c

pite dry weather and torrid tempera
ture, sayj Carl Changstrom of the
. Standard Motor company, who has
just returned to the city after a
week's trip through , .Western Ne
braska and Wyoming. He says the
people are all eager to buy automo
biles and that the demand is greater
than the supply.

was kept running at 360 r. p. m.,
which was a good idling demonstra
tion with kerosene.
Records Kept
-Throughout the demonstration ac
curate record was kept of kerosene,
lubricating oil and water, as well as
the depth of plowing. The tractor
plowed for a total period of 80 hours,
42, minutes, 20 seconds, although this
was not a continuous performance,
there being several stops to take on
fuel and make repairs. It was nec
essary to replace a defective bear
ing in the left front wheel, requiring
one hour, 28 minutes, most of which
time was needed for securing the
bearing.
Throughout itsplowing period the
Parrett averaged 2.4 m.p.h. while
pulling its three 14-inch Oliver plows.
This is quite a' remarkable speed and
demonstrates the argument that the
tractor can work as efficiently at
high speeds as at low. Traveling at
this speed it averaged 0.95 acre per
hour during entire plowing period.
Kerosene was used as fuel from
start to finish. The average con
sumption was 1.99 gallons per hour.
The official report gives the consump
tion on an hour-acre basis and places
it at 2.008 gallons per hour-acre. The
term hour-acre is similar to ton-mile
in motor truck transportation and has
been tised as the unit of measurement.
These fuel consumption" figures do
not give the fuel actually use4 in
plowing but include that during the
UYi hours when the engine was
idling, the ground being -too wet to
plow. These figures a'.so include the
fuel used during the stops when
plows .were being cleaned and the
tractor supplied with fuel, oil and
water. These stops totalled 22 hoursj
Had the fuel used in the ixA hours
of idling been recorded the record
would then be a valuable one so far
as kerosepe and oil are concerned.
The consumption of lubricating oil
approximated one gallon to every, 12
acres plowed. During the 103 hours4
19 minutes the engine was running.
6.5 gallons of oil were used. On a
per hour-acre basis this is 0.084 gallon.

Mrs. Alice Hurst and Mrs. Mabel
Ingram are winding armatures for
autos at the Auto Electric Service
company, 2205 Farnam street. Both
women have been employed at the
work for more than a year and Man
ager Noyes declares they give excel
lent service. A sight of the women
working efficiently with coils and elec
tric currents and tweezers and ham
mers makes an easy solution to the
problem of how garages are manned
in war time. The work is neither
light nor easy. There is danger or be
ing burned and mechanical knowledge
is necessary in order that each arma
ture is properly wound and insulated.
Burnt out armatures are taktn apart
and rewound, each one according to
specific directions.

Buy Your Truck Complete
Why should you pay 100 or $200 to complete the quip
ment of a truck? hy shouldn't' the maker equip with
electric starting and lighting, windshield, spot-light, bumper,
etc., which are absolutely necessary for economical, efficient
operation.
GRANT TRUCKS are sold completely equipped yet they
are no higher priced than incomplete trucks of anywhere
near equal quality and capacity.
Electric starting and lighting have always been a feature of
GRANT TRUCKS. The exclusive spring-cradle battery
suspension makes the Grant system the best in use today.
As a saver of the driver's time and of gasoline, the electric
starting system is easily worth 300 to $500 during the life
of the truck.
Maximum pay-Ioacf capacity, high economy, advanced con
struction make GRANT TRUCKS a wise investment
