A Storage Battery
SixMilesintheAir
A normal storage battery weighing
about sixty pounds is capable of de
livering enough electrical energy to
raise Itself to a height of six miles
in the air. This fact was set forth in
the course of an interview yesterday
with M. ii. Walker of the Auto Elee
trlo Epuipment Co., I'SL service sta
tion representative fpr this district.
In which he urged all motorists to
know more about their storage batter
lea. "Since 1850," he continued, "when
Plapte began work on his storage b.it
tery consisting of two plates of metal
lic lead immersed in a dilution of sul
phuric acid, wonderful strides have
been made by. battery manufacturers
"Plante's method of making bat
tery plates was slow, tedious and ex
pensive. Faure later gave us a more
economical method in the hand-pasted
plate consisting of a skeleton
framework of lead with the sponge
lead and peroxide of lead compris
ing tho active material filling the
spaces between the ribs of the frame
work. "The hand-pasted; plate filled a
long felt want, but it had Its disad
vantages, laboring in the fact that,
'becauso a workman has only so much
strength, he is unable to pack the
stiff paste needed for the plate into
the plate's skeleton all at once. He
muBt resort to doing it by degrees, ap
plying one-half of the paste gradually
to one side of the plate, then turning
the plate over and applying the sec
ond half of the paste to the other
side. Air affects the paste rapidly so
that while tho paste mikht at first be
in the best Adhesive condition, it
would be less apt to stick when tho
last half of It was applied. Thenvthe
man could 'not suppply the pross'ure
roally needed to force tho pasto into
the best grip. The result was an un
certain weld midway between the two
sides of the plate and between the
mass of paste and platcframo.
"Thon the machine pasted plate
was invented, along with special ma
chinery to manufacture it. With
such a plate manufactured under
heavy pressure, solidity was assured,
together with density and toughened
structure, minimizing the offects of
wear and making the wear uniform.'

ASHLAND. April 21 The prevail
ing overall fad has struck town, the
postolfice having set the pace, and
report indicates that city hall offic
ials, bankers, the schools, and even
the pulpits will follow. It required
four ordinary pairs, rebuilt on tho
installment plan, to fit tho postmas
ter due east and west and perpendic
ular. The most that can be said in
behalf of the innovation is that in
certain instances the new habill
monts are an Improvement over
those heretofore worn by tho rotor

fall in lino in adopting the unconven
tional garb, deponent salth not. In

Mtb. G. F. .Blake and daughter
Ethelvn. and Mrs. R. D. Blake an
son Lloyd, all of Portland, who have
been In southern California the past
winter motoring in various sections
of that state, have been visiting In
the family of Dr. W. E. Blake tni
week, homewards bound. The men
t the tourist party shipped their
cars by steamer from San Francisco,
also making the trip by water pcr-
onally, fearing that they might be
marooned on some of the tough
stretches of ruad north of Grants
Pass, a fate which has overtaken a
umber of motorists this spring.
After an extended visit in the
south, Mrs. Cora Van Fossen has re
turned home from Knoxville, Tenn.,
accompanied by a sister, Mrs. Alice
Mallcot, who has previously visited
Ashland.
City water rates, as applying to
irrigation of luwns and gardens, will
be raised about fifty per cent during
the dry season prevailing in July,
August and September, which rate
heretofore has been 25 cents per
month, the increase being to 50
ents. The flat rate on acreugo will
also be increasod. Quarter-acre tracts
will pay $3 instead of $2; half-acro,
G; and full acre, $12 instead of $S
as heretofore. The domestic flat
rate of one dollar per month, plus
some trifling charges for incidentals.
remains in force. Tho city reserves
the right to install meters wherever
the water commissioner deems advis-
ble, such meter rate implyiug a
minimum charge of $1 per month the
same as the present flat rate, plus
wo cents per 100 cubic foot over an
established allowance of GOO cubic
feet per month. In the meantime
the city is already advertising a war
ing to property owners regarding
leaky faucets and other phases of
wastage, as a precautionary measure
against the days when the supply is
invariably short. The upper system.
above tho Boulevard and Main street,
was also advertised to be shut off on
Tuesday for a half day, pending
cleaning out tho intakes. No further
developments as yet regarding pro
posed extensions to the system in
gcnerul, agitation for which begins
sporadically each' season
The appointment of W. U. McNair,
of this city, as a member of the state
board of. pharmacy, was no news to
certain ones hereabouts, It having
been known for some time past that
the appointment merely awaited the
expiration. May 21, of the t,orm of J.
.eo Brown, of Marshfield.
It looks prematuro to discuss
threshing activities this early in the
season, but nevertheless C. II. Davis,
of Talent, Is in tho market already
for a new steel J. I. Cuso outfit, to be
delivered about June 15, Including a
gas tractor of the latest typo. This
new outfit will be used in territory
south and west of Medford and
around Central Point, releasing the
outfit purchased by him last season
for use in the upper valley from Tal
ent to Ashland and neighboring sec
tions. These outfits represent a big
investment, and it is hopod a bumper
grain crop will keep them humming
merrily during the harvest Beason of
1920.

No' Other Light Car
Offers So Much
Unusual power and control, quick' pick-up and extraordinary acceleration to real speed, are
features inherent in the Cleveland Six and features with which Cleveland owners are delighted.'
Many a Cleveland Six owner ,has said, "It would be hard to tell you what a good car the.
Cleveland honestly is. It's wonderful." '
' The Cleveland is wonderful because it is a splendidly
developed and finished product, not a cur rushed into
the market. Three years ago the pluns for production
of this car were far advanced. But, with wm ap
proaching, production and marketing were delayed
though experimental and cngineerinr; woik were con
tinued and test cars kept on the road. When war
ended, came the Cleveland.
Built in a fine big factory, with all conditions and
equipment assuring the very best of manufacture,
and built by men whose successful experience; had
been wholly in the production of fine cars, the Cleve
land Six began rolling out to the world last August.
Sinre then thousands have gone to delighted owners,
and thousands more are going every month.
There isn't any other light car that will give;
you so much of all that you wish, and lt such at
fair price.
Come let us show you what a car the Cleveland is r
