Omaha Cadillac owners will be pleased to know that they can get Jones-Hansen service when they are in Lincoln, and they will receive ex pedient, efficient and courteous serv ice at the home of the Cadillac whet) they are in Lincoln. Mr. J. H. Avery is in charge of the Lincoln branch and welcomes all Omaha vis itors to the Nebraska state fair. DyS.P.LaDuc Dry the Top. Farmers Going to Buy Trucks-for'Their Use ' On Comaker Farms The 1918 state fair at Lincoln, ac cording to Carl Changstrom of the . Standard Motor Car company, brings to the more serious consideration of trucks as the means of supplementary the man-power shortage and increas ing transportation efficiency. Many farmers have decided to buy motor trucks and the actual purchase has been held off until such times as are ! able to make a thoough investigation on the various trucks. v The state fair will offer the oppor tunity which farmers have been seek ing and an opportunity to compare various points by points. " Making Campaign on Auto Owners with Bright Lights Papers of the state are making a campaign against autoistf who drive with their headlights turned on full flare. Here is one from the Loomis Sentinel j . Autoists who have complied - with the anti-glare headlight law find little profit in ; such compliance when they are compelled to fairly feel their way past the blinding headlights of other cars whose owners have ignored the staeite. This is plain violation of a law enacted about a year ago and ap plies to rural districts as well as to cities, where it is strictly enforced. Compliance with the law is neither difficult nor expensive, and as the practice is fraught with danger when cars are passing each otheMn oppo site directions, the law should, and doubtless will be enforced everywhere in time. i Skeptical Farmers Change Minds. About Motor Trucks It Is surprising, according to J. M. Opper of the Jqnes Opper company, to note the change in the attitude of the farmers regarding the modern y motor truck. Many who are 7 ex tremely skeptical as to the use of trucks in this territory, have been forcecMo recognize the motor truck -through the activities of many of their neighbors. Many farmers who voiced their opinions that Nebraska roads were not- suited for truck use have heir judgement upset many times by their more progressive neighbors. - The Jones Opper company have ar ranged quite an elaborate display of , trucks and truck-bodies at' the state fair at Lincoln and Mr. Opper feels certain that their efforts will influence much serious consideration on the fart of the farmers. , Axle Noises. ' When noises issue from the axle housing they may be ascribed to one of the following causes: Misad justment of the driving gears, gears' that have worn, out of round Or be- , come warped, differential bearings 'hat are worn or broken, a broken ' tooth ot teeth in the gear, or metal chins ina the .mechanism, ,' Never fold the too while It is wet. f the car has been driven through the rain, keep the top up until it is thoroughly dry, because a wet or damp too folded up will mildew, which very quickly destroys the fab ric. In folding the top take care to get each fold even and eliminate all wrinkles. The metal frame pieces should be separated by rubber pads wherever they rub together and the whole should be firmly secured by straps, so as to prevent rubbing and rattling. Clutch Grabbing. This trouble is the opposite of slipping. The clutch takes hold too suddenly, so that the car is jerked in starting and needless strain is involved fo the entire power trans mitting ' mechanism. Grabbing is caused by too heavy spring pressure, by facings that have become rough and dry, by end play in the crank shaft,' by misalignment of the clutch Shaft, by -too tight -an adjustment The driver who jams in his clutch is quite likely to produce a grabbing action. : Grinding in Transmission. When a grinding noise is heard in' the transmission case, it will be found to be caused by one of the following conditions: lubrication fail ure, either the oil has leaked out or 7s too thin in body to do its ap pointed task, the shafts may be out of alignment, bearings may be. bad ly worn or broken or there may be chips from injured teeth in the case. Whatever the cause, it should be run down and eliminated, immediately. 1 Mud Scraper. A convenient home-made mud scraper may be made by cutting a shallow oval in running board before the door. Across the outer edge of this oval a piece of bar steel is screwed, corresponding to the thick ness of the running board. It is very simple to scrape mud from 'the shoes and the dirt so removed falls through the oval cut out in the board. Spares. The question of what soares to take on reasonably extended tours is one that bothers most motorists. Here are a few useful spares that are frequently forgotten. For in stance extra bulbs for the headlights ought always to be carried.1 A few dry cells may be invaluable in an emergency. Two or three pairs of pliers instead of the customary one, should certainly be carried. Spare tire valves and a hand tire pump for emergencies- will be friends in need on occasion. Front Wheels. The averaare car owner la unite likely in the desire to give the rear wheels 'all the attention they need, to' torget the front wheels. Now the front wheels should be given careful inspection at least once a month, par ticularly those of the type fitted With ball bearings of the cup and cone type. The cones wear rapidly because they are subjected to heavy stresses in travel. Summer Battery Troubles. During the warm weather, when night driving 'is common, the battery will need double attentive care. The most freauent trouble will be under charging. This is due to the fact that the lamps are burned for long periods and the drain upon the battery is heavy. The stock instructions should be carefully followed. The cells must be kept filled up with water and to do this distilled water should be added every week. The solution on each of the cells should be tested every week and the specific gravity should be kept up to around 1.28; never allow the gravity to drop below 1.2S. If the gravity does not get too low, have it brought up to full strength by re- . . ir ii ..a f a. cnargmg. limine generator is not serv ing to keep the battery adequately charged, alter the charging rate as the need shows, or have it done by the service stations. ' Silent Chains. The tendency toward fhe use "of silent chains seems to be increasing. It may not be amiss then, to remind the car owner that these Darts should be cleaned frequently, especially when they run in an exposed position as in some starter nd generator installa tions. The proper method of proced ure is to remove the chain from its Jlace, submerge it in kerosene oil for S minutes. Then dry it thoroughly ana next suomerge k in a medium erade of lubricating oil. nermittinr it to remain in the bath until the oil has reached every bearing surface. Hard grease never should be employ ed as a chain lubricant. ' Number, Please. Because of the great variety of windings necessary for service under varying conditions, starting motors ana generators are given serial num bers and are usually, fitted with a Elate containing this and other data, n writing the makers for information in regard to their equipment, these numbers and data from the plates should be given, in order to insure in telligent replies. internal Short. ' When one of the cells shows a loss of specific gravity, in its elec trolyte of SO or 75 points and no leak can be discovered, an internal short circuit is indicated and should be remedied at once. Whenever ii is more than 20 points below' that of the other cells, there is trouble some where and it should be run down without delay, even if it is necessary .

Towing Pole., A piece of two-by-four "scantling" with two one-inch holes about six inches apart and near the ends for use in tying the pole to the car being towed and. the pulling vehicle, has certain advantages over the tow rope, sine it noias tne towed car at a safe distance. , McKinley Had a Oar.
