Loss orPot•er in Tracto
After the tractor has completed the
spring -work, you are likely to notice
a considerable less of power; or the
engine seems to start harder, and
when operating runs rather slug-
gishly,
There are three common place to
Rook for the trouble—leaky valves,
worn, broken or sticking piston rings,
or a leaking cylinder head gasket.
To find the trouble. turn the engine
ever slowly, paying close attention to
the strength required on the com-
pression strolze fbr each cylinder.
When operating correctly there will
be very little if any difference, Note
the one that seems to turn the easiest
and then examine it more closely to
see what is causing the trouble. If
the cylinders are cast together there
is no need to pay much attention to
leaky gaskets, unless all of the
cylinders seem to have lost their com-
pression. In that case, however. the
trouble may be a leaky gasket.
More often the trouble lies in leaky
valves or badly worn piston riga,
The exhaust -valve always causes the
most trouble and should be examined
at the first. The hot bases that are
forced paet it on the exhaust et:'oi c

anti carbon from the cap :and the
stent, making sure that the valve
works freely in the guide. If it binds,
examine it for a sprung stem. This
is done by rolling it along on a smooth
surface. If it seems to be warped
ever so little, the best thing to do is
to replace it with a new one. A warp-
ed valve stent is a nuisance.
Valve grinding compound. may be
bought at any garage or shop where
gas -engine work is done. Use the
compound sparingly and make sure
that it works only between the valve
and the valve seat.
Put the valve in place and, using
a carpenter's brace and a large screw-
driver bit, turn the valve n half revo-
lution and back again fifteen or
twenty tithes; then lift the valve from
the seat, turn it around and repeat
the operation until the valve sets
evenly.
The dark spots found on the valve
and the seat are the places where the
surfaces do not touch. Continue to
grind until these spots are gene. In
grinding. valves do not make complete
revolutions, as that will have a ten-
rien:y to cut rings completely around

Do you encourage fear in your chil-
dren, or do you encourage them to be
unafraid? The importance of train-
ing along this line is just beginning
to be understood, for the doctors are
discovering nowadays that many of
the ills from which grown-ups suffer
are due more to mental conditions
than to those which are physical. The
things that people worry about, yet
never speak of, are upsetting and
destroying thousands of lives; and the
beginninge of these disturbances can
be traced 'way back to early child-
hood.
The predominating emotion which
a child experiences is probably that of
fear. He is put in a great, huge world
about which he knows nothing and
which seems to him to hold all sorts
of possible dangers. He is surround-
ed by people bigger and older and
wiser than he; and what are Itis
thoughts?
First comes his mother, whom he
probably trusts implicitly and of
whom he is only mildly in awe. Then
there is his father, who seems a bit
severe to him. Both these people
have him completely at their mercy
and their anger must be avoided at
all costs. It is quite up to the par-
ents in just what way the little fellow
will go about this,
Then there are teachers and big
brothers end sisters, and neighbors
and all sorts of big, wise people. And
outside this world .of people there is
another world of things—unknown
things. There is the dark, and the
things that are in the dark; there is
the great space outside his home;
there are things there, too, such as
thunder and lightning; he does not
understand these things and his in-
stinctive reaction to them is fear.
Now the question is, "Are you go-
ing to increase or diminish this fear?”
Take the unknown, untried world.
You can't take away the dark or the
storm or the space that lies off in
the distance, but you can do your
best to see that the child has no ex-
aggerated er false ideas about them.
This is not accomplished by telling
him that he shouldn't be afraid, for
that will only lead him to conceal his
natural timidity from a feeling of
shame and will not make him less
timid.
The child should be helped to face
facts frankly. In days which we hope
are past, just the opposite was done.
The child was frightened into obedi-
ence by stories of the "hogyman" who
waited in the dark to catch naughty
boys. He was punished by being put
in a dark closet where the darkness
that surrounded him often terrified
tate of frenzy. He was
told in addition that the policeman or
Satan himself would "get him" if he
did not do as he was bidden. As a
consequence the child's natural fear
was increased tenfold; he created a
nightmare world of fancy that en-
veloped all unknown things with a
mist. As he pew older he was
ashamed to conies; his fears; but
they were still with hint. All his life
ipe had an exaggerated awe, perhaps
terror, of everything with which he
was not perfectly familiar, Ile was
afraid of life, n prey to nervous im-
agiuings. Whatever means of dis-
cipline are necessary to adopt, this
method of "terrorizing" should surely
be eliminete,L
Then there is the fear of people and
what they w.11 do to hint. The mother
enforces her washes all too often by
means of threats, And in the case of
the child with initiative and "go" she
doesn't enforce there—she merely
limits the performance of forbidden
things to the time when her back is
turned,
It is, "Johnnie, don't wade around
in those puddles. If you do, 1'11 spank
you."
Johnnie has been given no logical
reason for not wading in the puddles.
It is one of those innumerable, incom-
prehensible whims of grown-ups for
which no reason is given, So he con-
tinues to wade, but not where his
mother can see him. He comes in with
suspiciously wet feet. His mother
questions hint. He hesitates in reply;
for he will be spanked if he tells the
truth—spanked for indulging in a per-
fectly harmless pleasure so far as he
can see! He wavers and then replies:
"I was reading my geography as I
walked along and never saw the pud-
Idle and walked right into it."
If the mother is busy at the time
she lets this go by, Johnnie has not
:been persuaded that it is intrinsically
i wrong to walk in puddles. He is only
:convinced that his mother has made
an unreasonable request, and that if
he can outwit her all is well. Perhaps
' she does not accept the explanation
and pursues the matter further.
Johnnie's fear is only increased by
'the added horror of having to confess
to a lie. He accepts the humiliating
punishment—and still for doing a
seemingly innocent thing—and his
fear of his parent is only increased.
But fear of father is usually even
greater. "I will tell your father when
he comes home and you know what
he'll do," he is frequently told. Is it
any wonder that children lie and de-
ceive when they think that by so doing
they may escape punishment? The
wonder is that children have the cour-
age to tell the truth as often as they
do.
Threats should be replaced by ap-
peals to tine children's reason, his
!sense of fair play, or iris affection.
The mother who patiently explains
why she does not want a certain thing
done, who shows that it is bad for
the child, or his parents, or his sister,
may not reach the stage where dis-
obedience in her children is unknown,
but her wishes will certainly meet
with greater consideration than if she
threatens and frightens the child into
obedience, and undoubtedly she will
have more of her child's confidence.
A child's powers of reason are de-
veloped at a much earlier age than
teachers and parents have been wont
to suppose. If we can just supplant
the rule of fear with an attempt to
make the child see why he should or
should not do certain things, training
him to think for himself, he will be
much readier to obey when eslced to
do something for which an adequate
reason is not easily given. He will
be guided by good sense rather than
' by fear.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON,
JUNE 13TH. -
A Shepherd Boy Chosen King. -1
Samuel 16: 1-13. Golden Text,
1 Samuel 16: 13.
1-3. I Have Provided Me a King.
The king to be chosen must be one
who will acknowledge Jehovah as his
Lord, and who will recognize Je-
hovah's prophets. Samuel was, no
doubt, acquainted with Jesse the
Beth-lehenite, of a well known and
pious family, grandson of Boaz and
Ruth (Ruth 4: 17). There trust have
remained in this family something of
the high character, the purity of life,
and the unaffected faith, which aro
reflected in the book of Ruth, and it
is in this direction the prophet's
thought is turned by that divine voles
for whose guidance he always looked.
Samuel took the horn of oil for
the anointing, but that had, of course,
to be taken secretly, for his errand
must not be known to Saul, He was
to go, therefore, as though to offer
sarriftco and to hold -a sacrificial feast
to which Jesse and his sones would be
invited.
4-5. Comeet Thou Peaceably? It is
not clear just why 1110 elders of. Beth-
lehem were alarmed. It is possible
that Samuel's Vliauit on ,former oc-
casions as judge, to this and ether
towns, had been on the occasion of
:;nate dispute or wrongdoing;', to tall
the guilty to account, Or it. may 1po •
that the elders had learned of the
quarrel with the king and were. afraid
that iia renting might bring upon
them the king's anger. Sareucl's I

this purpose, to superintend the peri -

that might have caused the jealous
eyes 0f Saul to look upon this house
with euapicion.
640, Look Not On IIis Counten-
ance, or On the Iieight of His Stature.
Eliab, the eldest son, was tall and
good-looking, perhaps in some res-
pects like Saul. But Samuel was
learning not to judge the quality of
a man.altogether by his appearance.
"For titan looketh on the outward ap-
pearance, but the Lord looketh on the
heart," "Surely," says Blaikie (in
Expositor's Bible), "he had seen
enough ('n Saul) of outward appear-
ance coupled with inward unfitness.
One trial of that criterion had been
enough for Israel,"
For the general thought compare
1 Chron, 28: 0; Luke 10: 16; Acts 1:
24.
11-13, IIe Keepeth the Sheep. It
was the shepherd boy who was chosen,
Young, red-haired, with boyish feesli-
ness of color, he was goodly to look
to. His name was David, which in
IIebrew means "darling" or "beloved."
IIe had already acquired skill with
the harp and in the singing of songs,
and ho had shown strength and coup
age in encounters with the beasts of
the jungle which had attacked his
flocks. And he was to show also that
he could sling a stone so as to make
it hit its mark with precision and
deadly foree. But the greater quali-
fication which came upon him now
was the Spirit of the Lord. It was
this epirlt which had qualified Moses
for his great task, which had conte

Jcphtnah and upon Sampson,' It was
