To bring about this condition tho Farm rurunu has Btartod what tho Argus blncoroly bollovcs Is tho most striictlvo work undertaken hern In years, to bring Into tho country high class dairy stock. In this ef fort tho bureau should Imvo tho sup-. port not only of tho hay growers of tho county but of overy "buBlnwis mnn. Tho benefits of tho cliango will not bo conflnod to any ono sec tion nor to any ono class. Wo will nil benefit by tho change. In an other column In this Issuo tho Argil Is presenting somo Intorosllng com parisons of tho rolntlvo prosperity of dairy, sections as compared with grain growing and fruit soctlons. Thcso snmo comparisons could bo cnttlo soctlons, or liny growing sec- f tlons Avhoro tho hay Is used for stock 1 cnttlo or sheep. Howovcr tho fig- t ures mod nro sufficiently convlnc- tng nnd emphatic to command tho t Instant attention of nnyono Interest- t od In tho growth nnd ponnnnotU $ prosperity of this region.

Hut this Is Just what this country ncods Now Is tho tlmo to net. Dairy oat tlo enn bo hnd at figures far lower than In tho past fow years. Many of tho rnnchqrs nro boglnlng to ronl ln tho truth of tho lessons which tho Farm Tluronu tins been teaching In Its dlvorslf'ed farming campaign nnd given tho financial nsslstnnco to which Industrious farmers ara en- tltlod, thoy will dellvor tho goods. It Is tho ono big way of salvation for this region. It should ho furthered by overy moans nt tho cammand of tho communities of our county, nnd Ontario should tnko tho 'load In this ' constructive effort, Wo bollove that Ontario will do Its part. mnny adjustments tho ! Altho wo havo jio part In Its do- must bo mnde. Thcso nro being accomplished now, somo gradually, 'somo precipitously. Dut with tho greatest crops In our history, with labor sufficient to transform, tho raw material Into com pleted products, with tho world In need of all tho surplus wo can sparo; wo havo faith enough In the brains of America to ultimately find tho pathway that will lead to tho high road of commercial prosporlty. What nnd their employes they havo slmplo means of changing tho tlmo liberations, tho Amorlcnn people nro of opoulng and closing- their stores. No ono can object to that, tint to endeavor to run tho city on two tlmo schedules is llladvlscd.

YOUR ENGINE requires on internal bath frequently. Road dust, carbon from the combustion chamber, and fine particles of metal worn from the bearing surfaces get into the lubricating oil in the crank case. All this dirt circulates with the oil through the engine. If it isn't drained out regularly there's bound to be excessive wenr and tear. Gasoline also escapes past the pistons and dilutes the oil. Modern Crankcase Cleaning Ser vice gets rid of the dirty, diluted oil, FORD GARAGf, V. B. Staples, Prop. Ontario, Oregon ? flushes the crankcase thoroughly and refills with clean, fresh oil.
