IMf.E TW O THE GAZETTE-TRIES, HEPPNER, OREGON', THURSDAY MARCH 14, 1918. An engine that runs with soft ness, due to the now noted "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold Chalmers features In the days of yesterday, "roar" and "wallop" were the terms used to define an engine's power. Today, it is the softness of power, the controllability of it that fascinates. It is a new kind of power to many, brought to public attention through the famous "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold of the Chalmers. For here the gas is heated, and "cracked-up" at the throat of the carburetor by the "Hot-Spot" and then rushed quickly via the "Ram's-Horn" Manifold into the combus tion chambers. It is "toasted" so nicely, "pulverized" so fine, that the instant after sparking there is well-nigh no waste of gas. Little of power comes out of the exhaust. All the power comes out of the rear wheels and such pleasing, well harnessed power, that your enthusiasm for driving reaches a new peak. TOURING CAR. 7-FASSENGER U TOURING SEDAN - - .

The unconfirmed statement made at the recent Wheat Handling Convention at Spokane that two ships were avail able near Calcutta and that the Gov ernment might be influenced to re quisition those ships to stimulate fur ther interest in bags. Also an attempt has been made to frighten farmers into placing their orders for bags at the exhorbitant prices now prevailing. Many wheat f rowers know that it is cheaper to hulk even with bags at minimum pri ces, and many more recognize the ur gent need of the government for ships fee: that the request to divert ton nage from more necessary war en terprises to bring 25 cent grain bags to the Pacific Coast is not only un practical but ertremely unpatriotic. The placing of bag orders at this time serves only to delay the ultimate change from sack to bulk. It further helps to maintain the exhorbitant prices placed on bags and to reduce profits on the wheat. Recognizing the entire feasibility of preparing for bulk handling in time for the 1918 crop, few farmers are being stampeded into bag contracts at 25 to 27 cents per sack. Uncertainty of deliveries is anoth er factor stimulating bulk handling Interest in even the most conserva tive "bag handling" sections. The Oregon Agricultural College is distributing plans for Farm Gra naries and is being assisted in the work of bulk handling and elevator organization by the United States De partment of Agriculture.
