FORDSON TRACTOR GOOD ROAD-MAKER The many attachments of the Fordson tractor make it a convenient machine for many purposes on the ranch, says Sid McGraw, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributor in Anaheim and vicinity. Some of the handiest attachments are those which convert the Fordson into a complete roam-making contrivance, by means of which the road surface can be torn up or scarified, scraped, graded and rolled. A saw, holst, sprayer, hay cutter, etc., are other attachments. The various attachments can be given in variety at McGraw's garage, demonstrations made and the rancher can select those he prefers. The demand for tractors has been good recently, and business in general during the last 10 days of May was better than in the first two-thirds of the month. More active cultivation on the ranches is responsible for the increased interest in the Fordson, in McGraw's opinion.

EMERGENCY BOOST SOUGHT BY EDISON Recording for the current year the lowest water supply in history So, Calif. Edison Co. has filed with the railroad commission an application for authority to put into effect an emergency increase in rates during the period of July 1, 1924, to March 31, 1925. The company's application certifies that the cost of power production during this year will be $568,000 greater than the cost of producing an equivalent amount of power during an average water year. "The extreme dry season stated R. H. Ballard, vice-president and general manager of the company," has necessitated planting in operation all of the steam plants of the company and making full use of interconnection with other companies' steam generation plants. Work is also being rushed on an additional steam plant at Long Beach of 120,000 horsepower capacity, of which 26,000 horsepower will be ready in June and the remainder of the plant by the end of this year. "Our entire organization working at maximum efficiency and the most rigid economy in operation is being practiced." "Next season's water supply will be greatly augmented by completion of our 13-mile Flence Lake tunnel, upon which we have been working four years and which we expect to place in operation by April 1 of next year."

Don’t Pick Yucca Blooms; Fans, It’s Against the Law Ignorance of the law protecting yucca plants is costing many motorists heavy fines and threatening imprisonments, according to county passed an ordinance making it unlawful for any person mutilate or destroy any yucca plant, or to pick or cut any bloom or blossoms therefrom, whether Don’t Pick Yucca Blooms; Fans, It’s Against the Law Ignorance of the law protecting yucca plants is casting many motorists heavy fines and threatening imprisonments, according to announcement by the Auto Club of So. Calif. In this connection, the auto club is warning all strangers in the state not to yield to the lure of the beautiful white blooms, as two years ago the county passed an ordinance making it unlawful for any person to mutilate or destroy any yucca plant, or to pick or cut any bloom or blossoms therefrom, whether such plants are growing on public or private land. This ordinance was passed to prevent the beautiful desert plant from extermination. This is the blooming season and the temptation of motorists is great. Plugging the big blossoms kills the plant so that drastic measures are necessary to save the remaining specimens that form a highly dangerous feature of desert travel. A fine up to $50 and imprisonment in the county jail for term not to exceed 30 days, both fine and imprisonment may be imposed for violation of the law. The forestry department reported to the auto club that many persons are picking the yucca plant in ignorance of the law, which does not excuse them. Hence the club urges that resident motorists familiar with the campaign save the yucca, inform visitors motorists that the blossoms may not be disturbed.

Blooms; test the Law Passed an ordinance maknawful for any person to or destroy any yucca or pick or cut any blooms so therefrom, whether Yosemite Never Lovelier Than Now: Weather Perfect LOS ANGELES, June 7.—With all restrictions on travel to the Yosemite lifted—none ever existed on camping and hiking and fishing within the park—vacation conditions are ideal at this most famous of California's National playgrounds, according to J. A. C. Waters, Southern California Camp Curry representative. "Weather conditions in the valley now are perfect," he says. "Those who visit the region this month are indeed fortunate, for they will see it at its best. The falls have a full supply of water and the wild flower season is at the height of its riotous glory. Acres of beautiful high mountain flowers are blossoming in the meadows on the floor of the Yosemite Valley and along the trails. The departure of the Memorial day week-end crowds has again provided plenty of room at Camp Curry for all visitors, according to Waters. He urges all those contemplating a stay at the famous resort to make reservations well in advance, however, since doing so will give them their pick of Curry's choice accommodations. ZERO, BUT DODGE EASILY STARTED Dean Rakes owns a 1922 Dodge touring car which he has driven 19,000 miles on the original tires and on which he has spent only $7.50 in repairs. The one expenditure was to have his generator overhauled. Rakes was at Big Bear all winter, and when owners of larger cars were having a lot of trouble during the freezing weather to start their cars, got his engine moving with little or no trouble. he told Charley Mann's men. Some of the other owners there spent some times half an hour or even an hour, trying to get their motors working. Rakes declared he had left his car for a week undriven and still had little trouble. The heavy work under which the Dodge stood up in the mountains "sold" him on the Dodge more than any other one thing. Rakes ground his own valves once himself, but that and the generator-overhauling have been the only repairs made on the car. On health appropriation, VOLUME OUTPUT CUTS DOWN COSTS Motorists have known the Hudson Super-Six so long that there is little need to enlarge upon its qualities of performance and beauty. The motoring world has come to its own conclusion that Hudson must always be reckoned with when the fine cars of the day are mentioned. This is the natural result of 15 years' successful manufacturing. Because Hudson is one of the very large producers of the automobile industry, it has been able to reduce its costs by a great number of volume economies. The cars of today, while of the best material and standard of workmanship which Hudson has known, are offered to the public at remarkably favorable prices. This standard Hudson is a large comfortable motor car, highly suitable for those who enjoy touring and who wish at times to accommodate fairly large parties. The emergency seats fold conveniently out of sight when not in use. The car is built on general lines so that all may travel in comfort.

AARS CHEAPEST IN EIGHT YEARS Alarmists in the economic fold are trying to foist on the American public the statement that the maximum point of absorption in the motor car industry has been reached and production mustane, says Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer. "I have studied the situation carefully," says Turton. "I have read the analysis of the motor car industry by practically every economic authority, and invariably they concur in the belief that there is nothing to fear from either of these conditions for some time to come. "There is a fundamental reason for a continuation of motor car sales volume and it is this. Motor cars are lower priced now than at any time since 1916. For comparison the index in that year was 9 and today it is 70, an increase of one-sixty-ninth. Living, however, is much higher now than then. In 1916 rents, groceries, clothes, etc., indexed at 105, but while this was going on, wages increased to an index of 220, which gives the people a leeway of 55 points between wages and living costs and makes it that much easier for the public to keep buying motor cars. In 1916 the Oakland sold for 795 and it was a little car with none of the finer appointments that are embodied in the Oakland of today, which sells for $995 at the factory. On a basis of direct value comparison the Oakland buyer of today gets 100 per cent more for his money than he did in 1916, because instead of 30x3½ fabric tires he now gets 31x4 words, genuine leather upholstery instead of imitation; Fisher made composite wood and metal body instead of spotwelded all metal bodies; permanent tailored tops of waterproof materials with plate glass rear window instead of ill fitting tops covered with mohair; Your Car (A series of articles on the care and upkeep of the car from the day of purchase. The articles were written exclusively for the Plain Dealer by Joe Nichols. They will appear weekly.) Now that summer is here the cool places are inviting motorists to week-end trips, and to enjoy themselves completely drivers must have cars in good condition. Many little things if done to the car will aid in making the trip a pleasure. Have your storage battery filled, tested and terminals cleaned and greased. See that all nuts are tight and springs and shackle bolts oil. Fresh oil in the crankcase and grease in the universal joints and transmission will aid. The radiator should be wasnec out thoroly. The brakes should be tested—all of them. The front wheels should be lined up. New headlight bulbs should be installed, old ones being carried along as spares. Tires should be tested for pressure and all tools inspected. Extra spark plugs should be taken along for emergencies. The motor should be tested for compression leaks. Lubricating oil should be poured in the spaces around the pluga. A sluggish fan on a long trip can make a junk pile out of the sweetest running machine made. Most fans are designed to contain ANAHEIMERS LAUD NEW BUICK SEDAN Chris Chigaras, who, with Mrs. Chigaras, returned recently from a trip of 1760 miles in their new Buick sedan, are enthusiastic over the showing made by the car. Only 78 gallons of gas were used, an average of better than 22 1:2 miles, and the crankcase was drained only once in addition to the usual draining after the first 1000 miles of service. The couple first drove to San Francisco and back and then went to Marlin, Texas, Mrs. Chigaras' old home. They never had any trouble and climbed all the grades they met with in perfect safety. The four-wheel brakes they had to use hardly at all. They are so accustomed to them now, however that they feel queer operating low-old two-wheel type. The big Buick has meant everything in the way of comfort and pleasure. Returning, they passed through Fort Worth, Waco, El Paso and Phoenix. a large supply of grease and if once packed properly will not give trouble for a long time, provided the adjustment bearings are set correctly. If the bearings are too tight the grease will melt and run out, causing the fan bearings to seize or run so slowly as to be of little benefit in cooling the engine. Then the engine will overheat, the valves warp, oil is lost and excess fuel used, and later a number of unnecessary repair bills will come in. that are embodied in the Oakland of today, which sells for $995 at the factory. On a basis of direct value comparison the Oakland buyer of today gets 100 per cent more for his money than he did in 1916, because instead of 30x3½ fabric tires he now gets 31x4 words, genuine leather upholstery instead of imitation; Fisher made composite wood and metal body instead of spotwelded all metal bodies; permanent tailored tops of waterproof materials with plate glass rear window instead of ill fitting tops covered with mohair; longer wheel base; more powerful motor; four-wheel brakes instead of two; five disc wheels in place of four wooden wheels; larger radiator, full crowned renders, genuine Duco finish, transmission rock, banjo-type rear axle and numerous other vast improvements. DON'T OVERHEAT BATTERY; JENSEN Robert V. Jensen, dealer in Prest-O-Lite batteries, gives the following warning to motor car owners who want the best service out of their cars. "A storage battery is an electro-chemical apparatus and therefore sensitive to -changing conditions. Many a storage battery goes dead from overheating in hot weather. To preserve the life of a battery the temperature should never exceed 110 degrees." "The working and wearing of a battery are away from sight and for this reason an injury done to your battery will not be discovered until it fails to operate, perhaps weeks later. You may also overheat and overcharge your battery because the generator regulation is out of adjustment and permits the generator to charge at an abnormally high rate. Here are a few hints that will enable you to keep your battery in good condition." "1. Look at your battery once or twice a week. Make sure it has enough water. Keep the water above the separators in Prest-O-Lite batteries, others higher if instructed by the maker. 2. Watch your ammeter to see that the generator charging rate is not higher than recommended for your car. 3. If in doubt whether your battery is overheating, turn on all the lights while driving. This will use up the current generated during about 20 minutes of driving. The same results may be obtained by cranking the engine with the ignition shut off for two or three minutes. 4. Have your battery and generator examined by an expert. Although we sell Prest-O-Lite batteries we inspect all kinds. It is" TIRES ON CREDIT Reliable Tire Co. R. N. MENDOZA, Prop. 200 So. Los Angeles St. Anaheim The True Blue Six $995 Compare the price with what you get Look the Oakland Six over searchingly before you choose your new car. See for yourself how much it offers for $995. If you plan to spend this amount, or more, here are easy tests which will help you to decide wisely. 1 Drive an Oakland six. Make its performance your basis for comparison. You be the judge. 2 Examine its advanced construction—then you will understand its fine performance. 3 Test its four-wheel brakes for yourself. Then you will realize their great importance. 4 Examine its remarkable finish. Remember that its lustre is enduring. 5 Compare Oakland's Fisher-built bodies with others. Consider beauty, and stamness. 6 Find, if you can, a top which equals Oakland's permanent top in smartness and utility. CLOSED CARS ARE ALSO ECONOMICAL That closed cars can be operated almost as economically as the open cars was demonstrated by the Oakland six sedan entered in the Los Angeles to Yosemite Camp Curry economy run. The sedan driven by K. L. Peterson, averaged 18.18 miles on a gallon of gasoline while the Oakland touring car driven by Harry Neville, twice sweepstakes winner in previous Yosemite runs average 19.11 miles per gallon. When a sedan with its extra weight and wind resistance can travel 400 miles and average within one mile to the gallon of gasoline of what an open car can do, then closed cars have proved their economy of operation, says Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer. The Oakland six sedan carried off the sweepstakes cup for closed cars for its splendid showing and also coped the cup for cars in its class, defeating the Oakland open car because of the method of scoring which takes into consideration the weight. The sedan ret up a ton mile average of 34.18 against 32.86 by the Oakland open car. "The consistent performance of the two Oakland entries conclusively proves that the reports that owners have turned in surprising mileages is correct." And many folks, both lean and stout, will still pursue the coffee route. Bang! Bang! There's a split tongued serpent with the venom in her fang.
