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.

UNCONFIRMED REPORTS
T
Report That Ships May lie Requisi
tioned to Carry Rags From Cal
cutta Is Misleading.
OorvalHs. Ore., March 10. 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. G. R. Hy
