SHIPPERS ALSO SEEK LOWER FREIGHT RATES Fresno, Aug. 30 (IP Asserting that the railroads receive the bulk of the gross receipts paid by easterners for California grapes, a group of nearly a dozen shippers headed by the Tracy-Walrond Fruit company, were banded together here to attempt to obtain freight rate reductions. They also asserted that grape shipping rates were unjust compared with rates for citrus fruits. The objective of the group is a return to the $1.60 emergency rate With a minimum carload, which ended August 3.

The $1.60 rate, they said, would return the railroads a larger amount of money, would reduce cars required, would speed up shipping and would improve shipping efficiency generally, compared with the operations under the present $1.73 rate for minimum The House of Cleanliness 30x3)4 3.95 29x4.41 4.85 30x4.50 5.45 31x5.25 6-fly a. 0.42.15 32x6.00 6-ply H.D. 14.00 33x6.00 6-ply H. 0. 14.50 All other ai proportionately law.

THURSDAY FRIDAY and SATURDAY" SPECIAL FREE TUBE With every casing purchased. HANFORD LAUNDRY and Dry Cleaning Co. All Type. All Size AU Price Conserves for Bread of Charity Homes Will Aid Price Stability. Inmates of charitable institutions throughout the United States will employ a feast of peach butter made from the surplus California peaches, if a conservation and relief plan being sponsored by the Economic Conservation Committee of America is successful The plan will not only furnish a delectable sauce for those unaccustomed to such dainties, but it will also provide an outlet for the thousands! of tons of peaches that would otherwise rot and be wasted.

The plan calls for the purchase of all the surplus peaches at the market price, which will be canned and distributed to the institutions. The committee, with headquarters in San Francisco, has already had its plan endorsed by governors of 20 states, and it is being launched with the approval of Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, to whom the plan was referred by President Hoover. When it was learned by the state chamber of commerce, that the fruit was not to be used for commercial purposes but only for charity, that organization gave the plan its hearty endorsement, as jhas the California Canning Peach Growers association. The committee reports that already orders for the peach butter are coming in.

and it is declared that at the Junior League House in San Francisco; where the butter is already in use, the children prefer the butter to any other dainty. Although the plan has not yet been completely launched a favorable 'response, which is nationwide, is announced by the committee. One of the events of the fall in which the whole of the -county is interested will be the Lemoore Community fair scheduled for October 16, 17 and 18. The fair Is being sponsored principally by the Lemoore, Stratford and Island communities, but other adjacent districts will be represented with exhibits along agricultural lines. Not only will agricultural products be featured, but the educational fa- cilities of the community and I county will be given a prominent place in the displays.

The various committees are already at work and the activity will continue up to the opening date. C. Allen, principal of the Lemoore Grammar school heads the progress committee, and he is arranging for some special features which are to be announced later.

A Precaution Occasionally one should open the drain at the bottom of the carburetor before starting the engine. Water or any foreign matter will be drained off, and, possible trouble avoided Testing A Spark Flog Do not condemn a spark plug until you have determined whether or not It fault. First ascertain which cylinder is missing explosions. Short circuit each spark plug with a screwdriver.

If the engine slows down, it is a live plug. If it does not, the cylinder is not firing. Disconnect the wire from the plug and run the engine. If a good spark jumps, the trouble is In the plug or in the, cylinder. If no spark jumps, the trouble is in some other part of the ignition system.

If a good spark is shown, remove the plug and place It on its side on the cylinder, attached to the same wire. If the plug shows no spark, It needs cleaning or a new insulator. To determine this, take it apart. Clean off the carbon with a cloth dipped in gasoline, or a brush may be used. Touch up the points of the plug with emery cloth, do not touch the emery to the glazed porcelain, as it scratches and makes it gather soot all the more easily.

A cracked core must be replaced. Now put the parts together and adjust the gap to approximately the thickness of a very thin dime. Try it in the cylinder. If the engine misfires, the trouble may be the loss of compression, or faulty carbure-tlon. The Muffler Muffler explosions while the engine Is running Indicates a missing spark plug.

When the spark does not jump regularly across the points of the dug, the unburned gasses of that cylinder pass into the exhaust pipe. When this is immediately followed by a flaming hot exhaust oi the succeeding cylinder, this unburned mixture is ignited. The explosion actually takes place in the exhaust pipe, though the noise reaches the ear from the muffler pigtail, As it is necessary for. a combustion mixture to 'pass into the exhaust pipe in order for a muffler explosion to, occur, such a combustible charge Is possible only when the ignition system has failed to ignite It when it was in the cylinder. If such explosions occur, a missing spark plug may be suspected.

Such explosions may also occur when coasting down a hill with the spark retarded and the. ignition switch turned off. As soon as the ignition Is again on, a muffler explosion is likely to happen. With a retarded spark, the charge is still burning when the exhaust valves open and the, accumulated gases In the muffler are Ignited. With an advanced spark such a danger is lessened.

i Superior Dairy Products Co. Phone 1 F. J. Bowden 325 N. Douty St Replacing Spring Bushings Removing the bushing from the end of the first spring leaf is sometimes difficult, owing to the fact that the bushing is worn thin on one side, making it hard to secure a sufficient hold for driving it out.

A good way to do this work is to slip the new bushing over the shackle bolt, replacing the bolt in the old bushing, and drive it back into place. If the work must be done with the spring in place, a heavy hammer may be used, while a block of wood is held against the back of the spring to relieve It of the shock of the blows. Oiling Before oiling a chassis, be sure that all of the oil holes, even where they are protected by covers, are free of dirt. Shooting oil into the various holes indicated does not mean that the friction surfaces beneath are receiving lubrication. If the oil surface Is clogged, probably no oil will penetrate to the point where it is needed.

It is good practice to inspect the oil cups and their channels at frequent intervals and keep them clean. Rattle In Steering Gear Rattle in the steering gear is a trouble that is quite elusive, but may usually be located at the point of support near the cowl, or in the control shafts which pass through the hollow post. Rattle may also be located in the steering connections and in the worm shaft. The mast Which surrounds the steering shaft post, if allowed to work loose, 'will produce a very distinct rattle. Looseness in the steering connections can readily be detected by grasping them in the center and attempting to move them endwise.

Systematic inspection will readily disclose any trouble that may exist in the steering column. flushing The Crankcase When flushing the crankcase, the work should be thorough. Use plenty of kerosene. The best way is to fill the crankcase, keeping all drains closed. Turn the engine over several times, then open the drain 6ocks and continue turning, so that the compression caused by the downward travel of the pistons will force the oil out vigorously.

By corking the breather pipe, one can get a still more violent discharge of kerosene. A good, plan, is to leave the kerosene in the engine over night and drain it out in the morning. When flushing, be sure to drain out every bit of kerosene, for the smallest quantity mixed with fresh lubricating oil will so weaken the oil that it will not lubricate properly. What Is A Gowag?

The public and even some noted prohibition figures were excluded from the meeting, but it was learn, ed that the session did not progress to the point of discussing the names of possible candidates. It seemed apparent that the conference did not proceed Very smoothly and dissension among the drys arose almost at the start. Milton K. Young, Deemocratic nominee for governor, declared today he will not withdraw, in favor of a dry candidate under any circumstances. "If members of the dry forces do not want Mayor Rolph for governor they can.

endorse me, he said. They cannot make me an Independent candidate because I was a candidate at the primaries and therefore ineligible. Dry opponents of Rolph suggested a number of possible inde- pendent opponents, among thfcm Chester Rowell, who was urged to run by the editor of the La Verne, Leader. Mrs. Buron Fitts, speaking for her husband said he will support Mayor Rolph.

Governor Young, the other defeated candidate, already has pledged his backing to the San Franciscan. Flagrant Instance of Plants Without Moral Some years ago an Indian scientist sliowed tlmt many, if not all, plants have feelings very like our own. No one lias y.et discovered the brains of the plant, but it Sls unquestionable that while some are normally dean-living tilings, otlier-ers display craft, cunning, and even criminal tendencies in order to obtain a livelihood. One wiiidi is both criminal and cunning is the plantain, which infests lawns. It is clever enough to adapt itself to circumstances by spreading out its leaves so flatly that they escape the attentions of the lawn-mower.

And it goes farther than this. It wants to obtain sunlight, and it can do so only if the grass does not put it in the shade. Being a thorough criminal it puts out its flat leaves in such a way as to kill by suffocation the grass growing near Its roots. Iv.v strangles growing trees, and the small convolvulus plays a similar evil part to grasses and plants. But perhaps the worst criminal In tlie underworld of, plants is the dodder.

It attacks clover fields and Is capable of feigning dentil fori weeks until an unwary plant appears near it. Then it sinks its suckers into the flesh of tlie victim and commits murder.

Carbon The marriage of Miss Maurine Bradford of this city, daughter of Mrs. Leona Bradford, supevisor of music in Kings county schools, and Gordon Carlson of Ferndale, which was celebrated August 9 in Berkeley, is of much interest to the many local friends of the bride. A. Berkeley paper of recent date bore the following story of the charming event: One of the most attractive weddings of the early fall was that of Miss Frances Maurine Bradford and Gordon Theodore Carlson, which took place Saturday evening in Trinity Methodist church. Dr.

Clarence E. Flynn, pastor of the church, officiated, and Mrs. Baldwin M. Woods presided at the organ. Mrs.

Irving Norton sang "At Dawning and "Because. Several hundred guests were present and the -ceremony was followed by a charming reception and supper at the College Womens club. The church was a lovely setting for the nuptials with masses of gladioli in the apricot shades and ivory tapers in tall candelabra. The bride wore a gown of white satin crepe made with a long skirt with a court train. The slender bodice was fashioned with long tight sleeves and there was a hip peplum of satin.

The veil of tulle was bound to a cap of pearls with clusters of orange blossoms. The bridal bouquet was a shower of gardenias and lilies of the valley. Miss Ruth Losoely, honor maid for the bride, wore a gown of apricot chiffon, made with a long full skirt and hip peplum and slender bodice. She wore silk slippers to match and carried a bouquet of roses In the apricot tint. The two bridesmaids, Miss Mildred Schwab and Miss Elizabeth Smart, wore pale green chiffon frocks with full skirts and peplums and carried bouquets of apricot colored sweet peas.

The little flower maid, Miss Audrey Lind, a niece of the groom, was dressed in a frock of yellow taffeta and carried a bouquet of little yellow rosebuds. Master Billy English, son of Mrs. Walter English of Los Angeles, was ring bearer. The brides mother was in black with corsage of gardenias, and the benedict's mother was in blue crepe with corsage of pink begonias. The bride is a graduate of Hanford high, after which she attended the Fresno Teachers College and later attended the University of California, from which site graduat- But a moments thought to convince one that the fact that our services are more often called for, in this community, than any other, is significant.

Tracing Old Saying While there are hundreds of superstitions common to all people, all climes and nations, it lias been found that many of them are identical and many vary with climate, location, civilization and tlie degree of culture possessed by tlie people. Some can be traced to remote times, some beliefs that are current now are merely modernized versions of old forms, a large number are generally known, while -others are peculiar to certain sections of tlie country and particular localities in different states. Many superstitions are sagely quoted today in tlie mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.
