He knows he can always go anywhere and back again, and that he can go where others can’t. He probably knows, too, in a general way, that the reason for it is the Buick overhead valve motor, but what he maybe doesn’t know is why. Here it is in a capsule: A gasoline motor gives its power primarily from the explosion. The walls of a properly designed cylinder are-of such thickness, of course, that the force of the explosion is insufficient to blow them out, with the result that the gas must be confined inside the walls. It is the-resultant force of the expansion upon the head of the piston that exerts the force on the crank shaft. The “‘L” and “‘T’’ types of motor are those most generally used by motor car manufacturers. _ In addition to the advantages claimed for them,.the manufacturing cost of production is lower. Theoretically, motors of the same type of design and construc- tion, having equal piston displacement, develop equal power. In cases which are the exception the difference is due to internal fric- tion of the motor, and timing. When the explosion takes place, the gas at once rushes to the sides of the cylinder walls. In the ‘‘T’ head type of construction, the waves of force shoot into the pockets, can’t get out, and rebound to the other side. They can’t get out there either, and they again re- bound, this time the cylinder proper where they belong, and down goes the piston. In the “‘L’’ head, the principal is the same, but with the obvi- ous difference of its being an inverted “‘L’’ instead of a /‘T.”” There is but one false exit or pocket, and it gets into the cylinder just that much quicker and with less loss of force. In the “‘I’’ shape Buick Overhead Valve Motor, there is nothing but the head of the piston on which the explosion may exert itself. There is no inverted ‘‘L’’ and there’s‘no “‘T.’’ It hits the cylinder walls and expansion is confined. In other words, the head of the piston ‘gets the entire force of the explosion and no part of it is lost on the walls of the pocket. The better you confine heat units, the more power you will get for the same area. _ It is this type of motor which gives the Buick its reputation for power and speed. The “1914” Buick Cars will be completely equipped and will have the famous Delco Lighting and Starting System. $950.00 to $1985.00 McFarland €» Sons When Better Automobiles are Built Buick Will Build Them. ’ BUTLER, MISSOURI. er.

May his shadow never grow less. He informs us that his successor Mr. Wilson is a gentleman in every sense of the word and one who will faithful- ly fulfil his duties here. Protracted Meeting at Black School House Continues. The meeting at Black school house on the Butler M. E. Circuit continues with increasing interest and good at- tendance.

Bengston has been assisting us in the meeting, also the Rev. Suiter who was visiting in thecommunity helped us some. There seems to be a better religious feeling among the people than heretofore. However, there is still much indiffer- ence and impenitence, which will take much effort together with spirit- ual pressure to relieve. We sincere- ly wish that some of the good people of Butler would get this at heart enough to come out and help us.
