RESULTS OP USING CHEAP OIL
iieccu:ie an autolliobilr is a
heat engine, it tulles au exttenn.ly
high glade of oil to lubricate it pro-
perly. A poor grade will decompose or
"creek" into its elements hydrogen
and carbon iib soon as it cotyles In
contest with the hot parts. This car•
hon will be deposited on the piston
mod cylinder lread and on the valves
Whet' it will become quite hot, and
often ignite the gases before the pis- i
ton has come .up on its compreeeion
strolte and so try to drive the pistons
back in the wrong direction. This
will cause what is known as the car- I
bon knock. The carbon will also get
between the piston rings and often
causq them to stick. When the oil,
na matter how good gets past the 1
pi :ton rings and into the 1'ombustion '
Chamber in any quantity it will ear -

KEEP TIRES INFLATED
Keep the tires well inflated dur-
int the hot weather. This will pre-
vent excessive wear.
LACK OF OIL CAUSE OF klO1
ENGINE.
When the"engine labors on the
1„rel, as though it were on a steep
%•riche, and especially, if it gets hot
o.eii knocks, look at the oil system
a> this is a sign of lack of lubrica-
tion, As a rule when the bearings do
not get oil they will bind, and put a
great load on the engine.
WORTH REMEMBERING.
Owner of the latest model ears,
here high compression engines,
should at every third or fourth re-
plenishing of their gasoline supply
put in high compression gas, instead
of the regular ordinary grades. This
will remove a certain form of knock
nee is -occasionally noticed in high
high compression engines.
TIME TO TEST OIL FILTER
When the engine Is warmed is a
good time to test the oil filter. If
the oil fails to flow frees'• replace
the cartridge at once. in a season's
oleretion this oil filter may collect
more than two „pounds of foreign
:natter that would otherwise circu-
late through and rack the engine-

STEERING MECHANISM
The stability of the steering mech-
'anism is an extremely important
factor in the safety of driving. Too
great stress cannot be laid upon the
necessity for ae areful inspection of
these parts at frequent intervals.
Between the steering control and
wheels there are numerous connec-
tions, any one of which, if defective,
might prove disastrous. It is an un-
necessary hardship to inspect the
front wheel bearings at a time when
the general inspection is being made.
HOW TO WASTE GAS
Permitting brakes to drag.
Letting the engine run at high
speed while idling in traffic.
Dashing up to a stop street and
then jamming on the brakes. •
Driving too long in first and in
second gear before shifting to high.
Racing the engine in spurts when
waiting for the traffic "go" signal.
Uneven acceleration, that is, step-
ping on the accelerator unsteadily.
Driving with fouled spark plugs.
This wastes about 20 to 25 per cent.
of the gasoline used for every plug
that is out of commission.

IMPORTANCE OF WINDSHIELD
WIPER
Motorists are aavised not to ne-
glect the operation of tete windshield
wiper, as the failure of its mechan-
ical action during a heavy downpour
of rain often results in a very ser-
ious accident. Any trouble of that
sort may be obviated by a periodic
inspection of the vision clearing de-
vice. The blade should be kept free
from dust and lint, so that it will
clean the glass, Then the windshield
itself should be kept free from dust,
se that putting the wiper into oper-
ation will not have the effect of
grinding the dust into the surface
of the glass and so scratching it that
in night driving it will cause i•etarc-
tion of light incl increased glare,
10 CLEAR RUST FROM RADI-
ATOR
The beset system to employ for the
removal of rust and sediment from
the radiator is to fill the 'chamber
with hot water, in which a small ar-
ount of ordinary Wee -rung soda
(about one teacupful to each Lwo
gallons) has been dissolved. Run the
engine with the spark retarded for
15 or 20 minutes, until the solution
becomes hot and has circulated
through the entire system. Drain out
the radiator and flush out the system
with clean water, using a hose for
the purpose. Do not permit the soda
solution to remain in the radiator
for more than an hour. Be careful
not to spill any of the soda on any
painted or varnished surface.

WASHING IMPERATIVE TO
AUTO
When it is considered that rust le
the principle destructive evil to car
finishes and that rust s the result of
road dirt, grime and grit the import-
ance of regular ear washing becomes
evident. Here is the way it can be
done by any one to less than half an
hour's time : First the car is hosed
with cold water. The full stream i3
used without the use of the nozzle,
except on the underbody.' All pos-
sible dirt is floated off and loosening
in this way, assisted from time to
aughly water -soaked sponge. Two
sponges are used, known as "carriage
sponges." One is used exclusively for
the body, the other for the running
gear. After the first flushing with
cold water, the car is washed down
with large spongefuls of soap and
water. After each of the body areas
has been thoroughly washed, the
whole is immediately rinsed off thor-
oughly with cleat cold water. After
each of the body areas has been
thoroughly washed, the whole is im-
mediately rinsed off thoroughly with
clear water. After the washing and
rinsing, the car is then carefully
dried with chamois.
When making minor repair, stop
where the car may be seen from
both oireetions.
Every motorist should learn the
"feel" of having his car under con-
trol.
Water to which a little mmonia is
;added makes an excellent cleaner
for leather upholestery.
Never carry luggage on the front
of a car during hot weather. This
will interfere with the ventilation of
the engine.
To get more mileage from the
tires change thr idrection of their
rotation. This will reduce the wear
through. "scuffling."
An engine with worn rings and
pistons will exhaust smoke, espec-
ially when ties car starts up again
after reaching the bottom of the
hill.
A very simple test for spark plugs
is the use of a wire slipped from the
Plug and held about an eighth of an
inch from the terminal.
Sticky valves, worn-out spam
plugs, dirty breaker points and car-
bon in the cylinders will cause an
engine to lose power when climbing
hills,
Oil suitable for use in the cooler
months may be totally unfit for sum
MOT driving, therefore it is impor-
tant that -tile proper grade of oil be
used for warm weather operation.
Exports From
Vancouver
There were 1,522;577 rases of
C canned fish exported from Vancou-
• ver in 1028, showing little change
from 1927. France took 844,491
cases, the United Kingdom 262,272
cases, and Australia 215,932 oasee.
Tho balance was distributed over
more than ninety different count-
ries. Cured fish exnorts showed an
increase from 49,000 Loris in 1927,
to over 70,000 tons in 1928, the
bulk if this commodity going to the
Orient, Flour exports increased 42
per Cent over 1927, the amount
shipped being 1;200,580 .barrels in
1927, and 1,789,540 barrels in
1928. OF this quantity, oVer one
million barrels went to China and
about 300,000 barrels to Japan.

Western Wheat
Yield
The estimates of the wheat crop
of the Prairie Provinces has varied
considerably. An official estimate
sent out by the government statist-
icians some time ago placed the yield
at 330;000,000 bushels, while others
put it as low as 225,000;000 bush-
els. Recent surveys indicate that
the maximum yield may not be much
more than 200,000,000 •bushels. This
gives a crop of 60,000,000 bushels
to Alberta, about 130,000,000 to
Saskatchewan, and 30,000,000 bus.
hels to Manitoba. As a result the
price of wheat on the Winnipeg and
Chicago markets has substantially
increased, It is said that the chief
cause of this tax has been the re-
ports from the various centres where
threshing was taking place which in-
dicate that the wheat will be of a
low grade. Some of the samples, it is
said, indicate that not more
than fifteen pounds of flour will be
milled from a bushel of wheat.
✓ There is probably no reason for
any panicky feeling in regard to the
western wheat crop. Thele is a tre-
onendous amount of last year's
wheat of good quality left in the
elevators under the control of the
Canadian Wheat Pool The proceeds
from the sale of this wheat, together
with the increased price, ought to
bring a very large amount of money
to the Canndiait West- The
peg Tribune, in -commenting on the
situation, says : "If last year the
margin above production costs was
approximately 15 cents a bushel on
500,000,000 bushel.: of wheat, it re-
quire.; no great calculation to show
that :t m•'r-gin of 50 cents a bushel
on half the yield will give the farm-
ers 850,000,0(10 more in net profits
Nor will the total value of the crop
fall very far bolaw the 1928 mark.
A crop of 250,000,000 bushels.: old
at n figure anywhere in the neigh-
borhood of the present since, will
gave 'a total return to the country
-nearly up to the .average of the
pest four years."
If these figure a prove to be ap.
preeimntely correct there is no 1',.105
on for exaggerated statements enl-
culated to discourage businees, In
1''iat yens trade has developed to
such an extent in the West that it
isnot buttressed on any rtngle fac-
tor, and for -this reason the injur-
ious effects of one poor crop will he
lessened. The development of in •
du'trc its the West in the prrn nt
decade has been remarkable, Water

Elmira Merchants Ash $200
Transient Traders' Fee.
Transient traders who desire to do
business in Eitaira will be required
to pay a li ense fee of $200 if the
merchants are successful in the peti-
tion they plan to present to the
Connell at next meeting. The present
fee for this class of business is $40,
but under recent legislation munret-
pnllties are empowered to set the fee
as high as 000, The suns of $200
is considered fair there. The petit-
ion. will also ask that in eases where
local bankrupt stocks are ciisosed of
