Minstrel cos tumes are being made also, for the boys dearly love amateur theatricals with the opportunity they afford for good natured criticism of the per formers. In six weeks one Y. M. C.

HOW to Oper&to Ga ooline ISA tors Economically. In a speech delivered recently 1 fore a meeting of farmers, W. Cha plin Robinson, Director of Oil C< servation of the United States Fi Administration, told a story about farmer who gave all his horses Uncle Sam for war work and inst* ed a gasoline equipment. "I fin< said the farmer, "That to get the b< results I've got to be as kind to i motors as I was to my horses. Gai line horses have to be fed, groom and bedded or else they'll go lan A man who keeps a lame motor his place is just as bad as the m who works a lame horse." With thc approach of cold weath the wise farmer will turn his att? tion to his machinery, and there no item of his equipment that c mands as much attention as his gas line motors. A new motor, which h been running all summer, requir particular attention becaus? t "shaking down" which comes wi the first year's service is general the most telling in the life of the m tor. Unless it is kept in proper a justment after the- first year's u i it will lose from one half to oi . third of its power. Here are some points to obser ? in the overhauling program: ; 1. Clean carbon from cylinders ai . plugs. Accumulated carbon is a fu and power waster, besides the ext wear and tear on the motor. 2. Watch piston rings. See th they fit snugly. Badly fitting piste rings are responsible for the loss i r power and the waste of gasoline ai oil. 3. Go over wiring system with sp cial attention to timer and ignitio 4. Adjust the carburetor. Durir cold weather a rich mixture is need( 1 for starting but after the moti 1. "warms up" it will give more powi if the mixture is made leaner. Wat< e the exhaust and you will be able \ . determine whether you are wastir fuel or not. A smoking exhaust ind e oates that you are wasting gasolir or oil or both. A sharp, snappy e: plosion from the exhaust withoi ? smoke indicates that you are gettiri good service in the engin?. 5. Don't fill oil cups while motor running because it frequently caus< spilling. Every drop of oil save counts. J' 6. When cleaning erank easo, don throw away the eil.
