NEW PLAN FOR AUTO LUBRICATION IN USE AT SERVICE STATION No More Guesswork, Says Leo DeRochford of Molly's Service Station Every automobile owner is interested in saving money, yet! the average owner spends over, $80 per year in needless and} preventable repairs. This bur-} den is due to the fact that with: motor horsepower more than doubled in the past few years,' quick acceleration, speed and) hill climbing ability, the vari-; ous car units have not been! properly and regularly cared! for. Free wheel units, im-| proved rear axles, universal joints and twenty more de-; vices, under more severe! strains, need to be properly and, regularly cared for by modern! specialized lubricants which) have been especially developed | for these units during the past few years.

D. 10 GET FRED DESPITE EMBARGO, WILLSON DECLARES Surpluses in Some Sections Across Border to Be Available to North Dakota Canada’s embargo on fodder ship- ments is expected to have little effect on North Dakota, E. A. Willson, fed- eral relief director for North’ Dakota, said Thursday. 5 Willson said Clyde Barks, assist- ant director of stock distribution for the relief setup in North Dakota, is in Canada seeking to negotiate for hay purchases for the state. Explaining that Barks is: negotiat- ing with Canadian authorities, Will- son declared that if any fodder is available he believed there would be little difficulty in obtaining licenses for shipment to North Dakota. Any contracts made by Barks would be subject to approval by Canadian gov- ernment officials. Some areas in Canada are re to have a surplus of hay, Willson said, and Barks, whose first stop was Win- nipeg, will go further west to in- vestigate what amounts can be pur- chased for use in North Dakota. “The embargo may be helpful in that it will result in orderly handling of the situation,” Willson said. “If there is any surplus of hay in Canada, I am sure we shall be able to obtain Ucense for its shipment into North Dakota.” PREDICT AAA WILL RELAX CROP RULES Controls Over Cotton, Corn and Hogs Are Expected to Follow Wheat Precedent Washington, Aug. 2¢—(?)—The move by relaxing the govesmment’s controls over cotton, corn and hogs. It announced Thursday night that wheat production would be cut ong 10 per cent in 1935 in contrast to the 15 per cent slash called for this year. Wheat was regarded as the bell- | wether, indicating how the official minds are working. Farmers are asked to cut their normal wheat area Of 65,800,000 acres down to only 62,- 000,000. Under average conditions this is expected to produce a. crop of 775,000,000 bushels. As for cotton, the goal probably will be set at between 32,500,000 and 35,- 000,000 acres, compared to this year's 25,000,000 and the normal 40,000,000 Officials said. arrived at until this year’s crop is and pig production is krown.
