charged with criminal libel in indict

Duulop, the Irish veterinary surgeou,
who revised tine paeumatic tire, and
who was granted a patent for his inven

Scott For County Judge
It is reported upon good authority
that Hon A. M. LaFollette of Salem
will be an independent candidate for
state senator this fall and that a lot
of earnest work is being done in the
county in his behalf. Mr. LaFolktte, it
is said, decided to come out independent
after much urging on the part of his
friends. He was a candidate before the
primaries and was defeated only by a
small majority. He received democratic
votes enough, however, to nominate him
on tho democratic ticket, but cannot ac
cept that nomination, if he would.
Sine.) the primary election, it is learn
ed, some things have cotno to light
which will have a tendency to give Mr,
LaFollette strength as an independent
candidate, and it Is believed by many
that he will be elected at the general
election in November. He will doubtless
get a big vote from the democratic
party at the general election, which did
not count for him at the primary elec
tion.
Another possible candidate who is be
ing stronglv urged now is lion. John II.

A party of 45 grade teachers of Port

picking season. Each member of the
party is to bring with her, bedding, a

They are urged to wear coveralls or
overalls and a dark Waist and bring
with them at least two pair of shoes.
Miss McGregor will be the "boss" of
the party. More may be added to this
party before they leave. The berries
are exceedingly fine this year and the

ii Hints for the Motorist
I By Albert L. Clough tg?7 I
MMMMMMt M-f MtMMMMM MMMMmT
'pyrigM, 1D1S, fty The International Syndicate.
To Prevent Stalling Of The Engine.
HB UNINTENDED STOPPING of an auto engine while under load,
a known as "stalling," Is always Irritating to a motorist but especially
B to one whose fiiglne has to be cranked by hand. Like most evils In
connection with motoring it Is especially likely to occ;ttr in winter,
when engines are started and run much of the time, very cold.' Stalling
may be occasioned by some fault In the engine, such as Ignition Irregulari
ties or especially by a lack of properly proportioned and vaporized mixture
in the cylinders. It is this latter cause which makes engines stall so easily
when cold. Stalling also occurs when a load is put upon an engine that is
too heavy for it to carry. This occurs if the clutch acts harshly or is
engaged too suddenly, when the engine has not been previously speeded
up and the throttle not opened sufficiently after the clutch is in and when
an attempt is made to start a car without having rele'ased the brakes. The
liability of stalling can be much reduced by feeding the engine gasoline
somewhat In excess of its normal requirements, until it becomes warm, by
insuring an unfailing spark, by keeping the clutch In condition for gentle
.nsragemnit and by letting It In gradually, while opening the throttle ia
proportion to the power which Is to be called for. If stalling does occur, '
care should be taken that the car is thrown out of gear before an attempt is
made to re-start the engine, in order that the person cranking It may not
be hurt nor the starting motor injuriously overloaded, as the case may be.

Both are of seven passenger ca
pacity, of the same year and I can
buy thorn at about the same figure,
although the former Is roomier, con
siderably higher powered and, I be
lieve, nior comfortable. Which la
the better buy?
Answer: This depends upon
whether economy of operation or
(he ownership of a big, roomy car
Js of the greater consequence to
you. It the former is the more im
portant consideration, we advise you
to choose the smaller car, for we
believe that its tire and fuel expense
would bo very considerably lower
than those of the larger car.
Heavy, high powered cars are, at
present, less In demand In the sec
ond hand market than light cars
the fact that you can buy the higher
priced of these two cars for the
seme money asked for the lower

tA.'s condition. If cost of operation
Is an entirely secondary point with

KXGIXE MISSES AT FULL
THROTTLE.
A. L. asks: What causes my en
gine to miss explosions when .the
throttle is wide open, although it
runs perfectly regularly when I cut
down the gas supply?
, . I Ltit PIgD
Answer: Aside from the possi
bility that the engine does not get
a combustible mixture at wide throt
tle, while it does when the throttle
is only partly opened, the most likely
reasons are the following: The gaps
between the spark-plug points may
have become too wid, due to the
burning away of the metal, unde
which conditions the spark, whila
able to pass between the points at
low throttle and hence at moderate
compression, may not be able to pas
through the highly resistant ga
present at the spark gap at full
throttle and maximum comDreasion.
The voltage of your sparking di
charge may have become reduced
through some such cause as th
weakening of the magneto magnet
or the reduction of the period of
contact of the make-and-break de
vice, through wear of the point
Perhaps the sparking current leaka
from the cables through faulty In
sulation a defect which would man
liest itself especially when the plug
were under full compression.
