Getting Water bj Qraiitj.
Will a fall of three InoheaHn 100
feet be enough to ran water to house.
1,890 feet away? What sized pipe
should i ase? Would It be adrlsable
to Save standplpes at the high spots to
let off the air?"
I think It very doubtful tliat you
could get a satisfactory flow of water
with so small a fall, as til# friction
In the pipe that distance would be
considerable. Use-not les-j ttuyi two
inch pipe. If you can't get a greater
fall In another -direction, act the
spring Js a strong one, yoa could use
a hydraulic ram to elevate tlia water 1
to the house andput It In an derated j
tank to supply the upper floors. This
*ould take' a strong flow of water, ,l
sine? the ram wastes a great part of
It.?'W. K. Massey, in Tbj t'rogresslvj

Right bow is the time to "Stop, Look and Listen" before you buy your muw
automobile. No matter what ear you may be thinking about buying, you eta
not get away from the (act, tbe Ford outsells ail others three or lour time?.
Over htfif a million people huve bought the Pord ran. I don't know bow you
would reason it out. but I believe that if thai many people can ilrcide on the
Ford to kepp their profits up and their expense down then their choice ought to
be a pretty safe on? togo buy. You cannot afford to experiment. Lifeu too
abort to be fussing around witb uncertainties. You want profits. You are en
titled to them and you get them quick and in big volume with the Pord.
The difference between a Ford and aM others is that it is simple, practioal
and will go any time of the year, winter or summer. Your business does not
wait until a bright, warm sunshine dav to ca|l you. Yon have to go any time?
that's tbe Ford.
