THIS BEAUTIFUL 
HOME DRESS 
OF CRETONNE 
A Style That’s Just Out 
Only $1.98 
It’s all Cut Out, in just 
your size, ready to sew 
Such a new style as this could never be 
found in any store for $1.98! 
It is made of high-grade Cretonne —the 
material, you know, that has been taken up 
by the big Fifth Avenue dress designers 
and has come to lie so popular for home 
wear. It comes in a dainty pattern of 
bright little flowers scattered over a crisp 
checked ground. The upper part of the 
dress, the sash and the useful pockets are 
of chambray in a plain tint that harmonizes 
with the cretonne, the edges outlined in 
ric-rac braid. This combination of figured 
material with plain is most fashionable 
these days. 
The dress comes to you all cut out— 
every piece correctly notched, showing 
just where it joins its neighbor—complete 
with all facings and trimmings—even the 
thread to sew with. And a sheet of pic¬ 
tures and directions so simple and so clear 
that you can have the dress all made up 
and ready to put on in less than two hours! 
Anyone who can sew two pieces of cloth 
together can make it. Thousands of 
women are taking pleasure in making and 
wearing Readicut Dresses—you’ll enjoy 
Readicut, too. 
THIS IS A SPECIAL OFFER 
to introduce Readicut Dresses to more 
and more women. To show them this new 
money-saving way to buy clothes and the 
new, time-saving way to make clothes. 
.No tiresome shopping. No puzzling over 
patterns. No danger of cutting wrong 
and spoiling materials. No waste what¬ 
soever. You buy direct from the factory 
and save money.

I hot water on tho manifold with helpful 
r< suits, but a few splashes of well water 
or lukewarm water is necessary to take 
out the frost. It is wise to strain all fuel 
through a chamois skin, so that water can 
be separated from the fuel. Water may 
freeze in fuel pipes and stop the flow. 
It is further wise occasionally to drain 
j the fuel from the sediment bulb in order 
j that water which settles there may he 
removed. In the writer’s experience the 
amount of water which had settled in the 
bulb practically filled it. and the opera¬ 
tion «>f the motor was affected. 
Oiling. —Lighter oil is necessary for 
Winter use. Heavy oil, generally used 
in Summer, becomes thick like transmis¬ 
sion oil in the Winter. The various re- 
liners have given particular attention to 
the matter of lubrication in Winter and 
Summer. Their recommendations should 
be considered. A new tractor should be 
started every few days to keep the oil 
well up on the cylinder walls. The 
writer found it almost impossible to start 
a new tractor which had stood a few 
weeks in cold weather. 
Winter Repairs. —By all means make 
j sure the radiator is drained. In wann¬ 
ing the tractor do not attempt to build 
a fire under it, as a friend did, as there 
may be danger of igniting the fuel sup¬ 
ply. The Winter is the proper time to 
overhaul the connecting rods, bearings, 
replace rings or install new pistons. 
These are not difficult tasks, and if you 
do not feel competent there may be a 
tractor owner nearby who may he able to 
assist you. w. j.

One-piece 
Piston 
Pings 
prevent loss of power 
Because: they press so snugly and 
firmly against the cylinder walls at 
all points that gas cannot waste 
past them. All of the fuel is com¬ 
pressed into power. And they do this 
satisfactorily through thousands of 
miles of service because they are 
cast individually from a special 
gray iron that retains its elasticity 
and tension under the stress and 
strain of the hardest usage. They 
prevent carbon accumulation too, 
and thus remove another cause of 
power loss.
