IMPORTANT TO AuTomoeoLlsrs,

About this time of the year car is
almost sure to show signs of use, if it
has been run very much. This does
not necessarily mean that the vehicle
is not good one. A certain amount
of wear and tear is inevitable and,
even if the car has not given a mo.
ment's trouble throughout the season,
it should nevertheless be looked over
carefully to see how it has stood the
work. Nuts may jar loose; cottar-
pins may be lost; oil holes and pipes
may be partly or wholly clogged;
valves may be pitted and require
grinding; steering gear joints may be,
and probably are, loose allowing ex.
cessive play at the wheel. The fact
that car has run for the whole sea-
son with little or no attention beyond
oiling, cleaning and filling up tanks
is all the more reason why it should
be examined. as the owner may be
lulled into a false sense of security
by the good behavior Of his vehicle,
while all the time something is grad.
ually working towards the trouble,
which a little overhauling would have
avoided.

FAMILY Will
Be DEPOR1EO

LAUREL, Mont, Nov. 29.-United
States Emigration officer Patrick was
in Laurel looking after some of the
duties connected with his Office.
He had been to Bridger, where be
took into his custody Mrs. Angus ::
Jekubzik and her four small children.
She is of German descent and came
to this section Of the country from
Niche, Canada.
She and her children were occupy.
ing house in Bridger and were with
out the necessary food and clothing.
The fact that she was to become a
county charge caused an action to be
instituted by the emigration authori-
ties to deport her and the children to
Canada. the place from whence they
came. Her husband left very sudden
ly for parts unknown and the family
were left in destitute circumstances.

VALLEY CITY, N. D., Nov. 90
Residents of the Park district of Val
ley City are starting a quiet move
ment to secure the installation of a
dam in the river just at the rapids,
below the Platou hospital. Residents
of that section have been talking the
matter over among themselves for
some time, and within few days it
is expected that a petition will be
circulated, asking the city to install
such a dam. 1t is believed that the
expense would not be great

SEEK REPEAL OF
INSURANCE Law

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 29.-Repeal of
the valued policy law" of this state
is recommended by the state fire mar
shall in his annual report. He says
that he finds the most general motive
for fires presumed to be incendiary,
to be, an attempt to defraud insur
ance companies. A part of the blame
for this he ascribes to the avari-
cious agent who wrote the insurance
without investigation as to the value
of the property" and his summary OF
the situation is: "This law should
be repealed or agents should be pen
allied for permitting over insurance"
1t is admitted that the honest man
does not attempt to secure privileges
under the law. but it is insisted that
it puts a temptation in the way of
the dishonest.

as to the number Of persons who vii
be brought into tNo competitive classi-
fed service until further analysis OF
the effect Of the order has been made.
There were on July 1, 1909, 2,105 as
sistant postmasters in first and second
class post Offices, and on the date
named there were 614 second class
post Offices In which city free delivery
had not been established. In which
there We're employed 1,746 clerks who
we're unelassifed A considerable
number of these second class offices
have since been classified by the es-
tablishment Of city free delivery. thus
reducing the number OF clerks who
are classified and who viii be affected
by the present order. It is probable
however, that the total number Of per
sons affected viii be in the neighbor-
hood Of $500.
Some regret is being expressed by
civil service reformers that the presi-
dent did not accompany this new or
der with one covering all the fourth
class postmasters in the country into
the classified service. At present the
fourth class postmasters Of IA states
the territory east Of the Mississippi
river and north of the Ohio river-are
in the classified service, The number
Of fourth class postmasters in these
IL states is about 24,000. The total
number Of fourth class postmasters III
the country is 52.942, SO as viii be
seen, not quite half the postmasters in
this class are in the classified serv-
ice O.
It was said at the civil service com
mission recently that the policy viii
undoubtedly be to fill the places Of as.
sistant postmasters by the promotion
Of postofice employees already in the
classified service. Postmaster General
Hitchcock desires that this policy
shall be pursued rather than a policy
under which men unfamiliar with the
duties Of the Office would be brought
In through competitive examinations.
and the civil service commission sup
ports the postmaster generals views

Sacrificed to Fashion.

What devastatlons Of bird life are
DeiHg wrought at the dictates Of fash.
ion are set forth in a vivid manner by
an expert who has devoted years Of
study to the question. Among orna-
mental feathers assumed for show
during the counting season the
strangely beautiful tail OF the lyre-blrd
Of Australia IS unequaled A few
years ago over four hundred lyre-birds
were killed in one district to supply
the Londrn plumage market. It is
not 80 long ago since some sordid
yandals surrounded patch of scrub
in which some Representatives of this
fastdisappearing genus were known
to be breeding. and setting fire to II
shot down those avian marvels as
they struggled through one pitiless
ring Of fire only to meet their death
in another. The lyrate plumes hav-
Ing been cut of, the bodies were
thrown aside to rot. The result Of
such ruthless butchery is seen in the
fact that fifty-two tails only were
catalogued for the past years feather
sales IN London. The egret has been
practically exterminated in North
America and in China, and is now so
scarce that the best selected plumes
are fetching forty dollars an ounce.

Secretary Wilson Of the department,

signed by eight American delegates
who attended the recent international
road congress at Brussels requesting
that his department consider the adj
visibility Of the United States govern
ment becoming a member Of tho Per.
manent International Association Or
Road Congresses. The office OF pub.
lie roads is part Of the department,
Of agriculture, and for this reason the
matter was put up to the secretary for
his consideration.
The special significance Of the peu.
ton is that it discloses the fact that
the United States, which has the most
extensive system OF roads Of any
country in the world, has been enc Of
the three slowest nations to join the
International Road association now
formally adhered to by 26 govern,
ments Italy and England are the
only other large countries which have
not joined.
The nations Of Europe have gone q
long way ahead OF the United States
in road work, particularly in the mat.

reason this country win benefit TN
