I MAY Be DISSOLVED
: BY UNITED STATES
Department Of Justice Con-
ysidering Civil SuitfAgainst
Sss Corporation.

The Department, ,of Justice has under
consideration the. question of again
fling civil suit against the National
Packing Company to dissolve the cor
boration, which is Ialleged to be similar
ID the Beef trust.
sUnited States Attorney James H. Will
kersof, OF Chicago, aided by several
special agents. is making an investiga-
dpn of 1.-THE operations of the big COM
hine. and II is understood the develop
urents i'm the past few days, especially
the disclosures made by The Washing
ton Times in the publication of the sta
Hstics showing that the livestock re-
ceipts. have not justified rthe advance in
meat prices, will hasten, the action Of
the Attorney General .,
Action ,of some sort to forestall the
effect of Athe resolution Of Congressman
Edwards Sof Georgia, demanding an in
dtitry or investigation, is anticipated by
those competent to Judge the attitude of
the Department of Justice. The Attor-
ijSy GeneralN will be loath to permit
himself to be1 placed in the position OF
seeming to be forced, as he was by
Congressman Norris in the Coffee trust
sAit.
The Attorney General contends the
Beef trust has not been a dead issue
with the department in spite Of the fact
tafe criminal, suit against the National
Backing Company failed in every par
ncular He states, the alleged combine
has been under,the ban for months and
the question of renewing the civil suit
for dissolution Of the supposed holding
company of the packers has been an
active; one '.-'- $780,. g.
When the Attorney General moved
against the National Packing Company
ffh the fir,st instance two suits were
fiaed; one Acivil and the other criminal.
Ror some unexplained reason the civil
suit was Ndismissed even before the
criminal action was begun, so when
the hackers Were freed of the criminal
charges, the kBeef trust was high and
dry. ,..

dence no further criminal prosecution
will be launched, although II Is pos
sible to institute the dissolution suit

nAy Wilkerson, Attorney General Wick

Lurinq the Beaver.

Beavers when they have been undis
turbed for long are very curious in re-
lation to strange sounds. They will
come swimming out of their house
even at the firing of gun. The In
dams usually call them with a kissing
noise or one produced by munching the
lips. Another fsvorite tole is a sound
made by tapping the trousers with the
hand. The most successful beaver call
er in Newfoundland killed great num-
bers of beavers in the open season by
making a sound that resembled the
cutting Of chips off a tree. 1t is said
that the unfortunate beavers never fail
to respond to this noise.

WEATHER SIGNS.
Some Rules That Help In Reading the
Clouds and Winds.


The following formula of weather
signs was adopted by the Farmers
club of the American institute some
years ago, and it has been found to
give satisfaction:
When the temperature falls suddenly
there is storm forming south of you
When the temperature rises slddenly
there is storm forming north of you.
The wind always blows from region
of fair weather toward a point where
a storm is forming.
Cirrus clouds always move from re-
gion where storm Is in progress to
one OF fair weather. Cumulus clouds
always come from a region where a
storm is forming. When cirrus clouds
are moving rapidly from the north or
northeast, no matter how cold it is,
there will be rain within twenty-four
hours. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from south or southeast there
will be a hailstorm on the morrow, if
it be in summer, and if 1t be in the
winter there will be snow.
The wind always blows about a
storm in a circle When it blows from
the north the heaviest rain is east Of
you. If it blows from the south the
heaviest rain is west OF you. If it
blows from the east the heaviest rain
Is south The wind never blows even
moderately unless rain or snow is fall
ing within n radius of 1000 miles.
Whenever heavy white frost occurs
a storm is forming within 1000 miles
north or northwest of you.-Christian
Herald Almanac.

The graphite in 0ILDAG is defoeculat-
ed, that is, sub-divided to molecular fine
ness, in which state it will pass freely
through standard filter paper. When
mixed with motor oil, the tiny particles
are carried into the crank bearings and
| to the cylinder walls and piston rings.
where they form a film, providing these
, parts with more perfect fit than it
! is possible to secure through machin-
| ing. The friction and noise in the bear
ings is greatly reduced, while the fit in
the walls and rings increases compress
sion 900 more official test and accom-
| plishes thorough and complete wiping
down OF the oil with the down stroke
of the piston. Less oil in the explosion
! chamber means FREEDOM from car
bon and consequent spark plug, pre-igni-

Try this in your cylinder oil and save
at least one-half oil consumption, in
crease your power 90 per cent and do
away with spark plug troubles.

We are using Atchinson's Oildag in

we are getting very satisfactory results
from same. With the ordinary oil as
previously used, we could not get over
200 miles per gallon of oil, but by mix
ing the oildag with it we find that we
get considerably in excess of 600 miles
per gallon. At the same time it seems
to greatly improve the operation of the
engine, eliminating smoke and also
greatly increasing the hill climbing ca
pacity of the machine.
