Advantages of Using
Motor Cars All Winter

1t is far better to keep the automo-
bile in service throughout the entire
winter than it is to put it in storage.
The cars now built are constructed so
as to be equally as serviceable during
cold weather as during the warm sum-
mer months, states George +. McFar-
land. of the Harrisburg Automobile
Co. distributor in this territory for the
Haynes. Americas First Car. when
a storage battery is allowed to stand
for any length of time, it gradually be-
comes discharged even when no cur
rent is being used. It is absolutely
necessary to charge the battery every
two or three weeks during the period
of its nonuse if the battery is to come
through the storage undamaged, and
some arrangement must be provided
for charging the battery. Either the
engine in the car may be allowed to
remain idle. or the battery may be
taken to a charging station. AS long
as the car is kept in actual use, there
should be no need of this extra atten-
uon II the least care is given the bat
terry.
When an automobile is stored
through the winter, the oil and grease
has tendency to gum up and be-
come solid, especially at points where
IL lS spread out IN Jnln nlmS. COrrO-
sion takes place at many points and
there is a general deterioration. II is
not safe to put any car into service
again in the Spring after It has been
stored, unless it is given a complete
overhauling, and this is an expensive
proposition. The same condition pre-
walls in an automobile as in any finely
adjusted machine.
THE leading designers take into ac-
count the fact that an automobile
should properly be an(all year car by
providing suitable protection for win
ter use. The electric cranking motor
will start a cold engine that would re-
fuse to start If cranked by hand. The
engine is turned over more rapidly by
the starting motor. A cold engine has
lost the terror it once had for the man
who formerly had to crank by hand.
Also. from the economical side, 1t is
better to keep the machine in service
where it is producing results. than it
is to allow 1t to lose its service by al
lowing 1t to stand idle for several
months"

 dence of irregularities in the Mexican GUS toms administration has been uncovered and the records show that the shippers were held up when their needs were UT gent and demurrage on the ships at the docks awaiting the discharging of their cargces was largely increased.
 The postoffice is getting on regular basis. Inspector Robinson, in charge or the postoffice, hopes to establish regu- lar mail exchange with Mexico City in few days. Former Postmaster Munoz is at the capital endeavoring to com plete arrangements. Several hundred sacks of European mall destined to Mexico City are piled in the postoffice. Nearly 1000 sacks have been delivered at the break of the Mexican railway line and the receipt of the fed eral officer taken. A report that these had not been forwarded to the capitai led to the suspension of further oenver- ies to the outposts until some dennite arrangement was made. It was reported that some mail had been burned py federal soldiers, but 1t is thought prop- able that only the newspapers were de- stroyed, as the federals have been search ing all passengers bound for the capital and confiscating all newspapers

Tennessee Land Owner Con. demns System of Rates; Says "the Interests"

By \. B. REMINE

Bristol. Tenn, May l7.-(Special)-ln view of promised sensational developments in the investigation of the New Aork, New Haven and Hartford railroad, being conducted by the interstate commerce commission and in view of the interest which some of the more important direct ors of that railroad have in railroad properties in the south, the outcome of the investigation recently authorized by the United States Senate into coal rates to South Atlantic ports will be awaited with keen interest on the part of interests most vitally concerned.
 It was through the efforts of Benjamin l.. Dulaney wealthy coal land owner of Bristol. that the investigation into the coal rates referred to was ordered MT. Dulaney has just returned here from Washington, where he spent the past two weeks. He was asked for an interview concerning transportation in connection with the present investigation before the interstate commerce commission and the coming investigation into southern coal rates. He would not discuss the investi- gation of the New Haven properties, but talked freely concerning freight rates and the influences which. in his opinion, make to say in this connection is of a nature to deeply concern the entire south and all people who have investments in merean- tile, industrial and other lines of business in these states

MANOR HAS 4 NEW REMEDY FOR WEEWL
Mississippi Man Says Boil Weevil Cannot Bear
 Strong Od0r

Jackson, Miss, May 17.-tSpecial.)- M. Manor of Anding, Yazoo county, is confident that he has discovered a rem edy. or a means of getting rid of the boil good crop may be made in the boil wee vii territody. Mr. Manor is not tryinE to keep his discovery secret, nor is he sell ing the recipe lie simply wants his brother farmers to try it. and if it fails to work for them as it has for him, they are not out any very large sum of cash or time.
 The remedy is very simple, the plan being to attach to the singletree of the blow gunny sack which has been satu- rated with a mixture that is. calculated to make Mr. Boil Weevil take to the woods. The mixture consists of auan- tity of lubricating oil and moth balls, which are boiled together, after which a pint of tar is added. Into this concoc- ton five gallons of coal oil are added and stirred together. The old sacks. or other cloth are saturated with the mixture and tied to the sngletree. The sacks drag over the young cotton, leaving a pene- trating odor that is said to be very ob- jectionable to the weevil, and he leaves the plant and the patch in disgust.
 According to Mir. Manor's home paper the Sentinel, he made 47 bales of cotton last season with four squads, or families, while his neighbors. working land that was just as good, made only bale and half to the squad. It is stated that his tenants and his neighbors testify to this record, and they are all going to use the mixture this year. The idea is that the weevil being too smart to eat or drink poison when rendered him. cannot hold his nose so tight as to prevent inhaling and smelling the tar, moth balls and coal nil nIa iel ta.A Asalr llioi..

 who think Huerta planned the offense

who think Huerta planned the offenses at Tampico and elsewhere, hoping through American civilization to unite all Mexico and suppress the constitu- tionalist cause.
 In settling the Mexican question, the Mexican delegates, according to their friends, will not be guided by the per sonal ambitions of General Huerta or any other man. The delegates are said to be men who are mindful also of the big interests of the Mexico City busi- ness men and others who fear an invad- Ing army would confiscate property and generally distroy the tranquil course of commerce.
 They will insist, it is said, on the selection of a man who will be able to guarantee all factions and inter- ests in Mexico fair treatment and law ful and constitutional government
