Monday Afternoon Hon. j. A. o.
Preus, Commissioner of Insurance of
Minnesota, announced his candidacy
for Che Republican nomination fol-
state auditor.
It has been currently reported for
some time that the popular Insurance
Commissioner was considering filing
for this important elective office, but
he did not enter the lists as an avowed
candidate until he was quite satisfied
that there was a general demand fol-
his candidacy
Mr.. Preus is one Of the coming men
of Minnesota. He is the son of the
president of the DEBORAH, Iowa college
and graduate of that institution, and
also from the law department of the
University Of Minnesota. Soon after
his graduation he was appointed clerk
of the United States Senate commit.
tee on public lands by Senator Knute
Nelson, an old and warm personal
friend.
Mr.. Preus is a close student and the
experience he gained in the U. s. Pub
lie land department will be valuable to
the people Of Minnesota in his admin
istration Of the state auditors office
should he be nominated and elected.
+ Soon after Mr.. Eberhart became
governor be selected Mr.. Prues as his
executive clerk, and Jan. !, 1911, ap-
Epointed him as Commissioner Of In
surance. In this department the
gentleman has made an enviable repu-
tation. He studied all questions in his
depastment thoroughly. While in
sisting that the insurance companies
doing business in this state strictly
comply with the insurance laws, he
administered the affairs with fairness
safeguarding the interests Of the COM
panies and the policyholders alike.
During his tenure in Office Mr.
Preus has been instrumental in pas
sing of number Of badly needed in
surance laws, probably the most i'm
portant of which is the one which pro-
vides for the state carrying its own
insurance on all public property. Al
though the law has only been opera
tive since last August enough has al
ready been accomplished to demon
strate the necessity for the law.
For the past four years he has been
secretary of the state republican COM
mittee and has built UP an acquaint.
ance that extends into every town and
hamlet in the state. Even the most
bitter opponents of Gov. Eberhart
have nothing but kind words fol-

TIRES NEED REGULAR
INITIATION HOT DAYS
They Should Be Kept at Same Pressure
In Summer As In Winter to
Keep In shape.

Take this advice and avoid driving
with tires underinflated in hot wealth
er. On the theory that the heat Of the
sun and hot roads would expand the
air. increase the pressure and burst
their tires, some motorists run their
cars with tires far too soft Tire max
ers and some users know that there
is no ground for this fear and that
the man who UNDERWRITERS in hot
ings.
Experts recently made a practical
test of this matter TO convince car
owners of the facts. A runabout was
chOsen-One considerably too heavy
for the 33x4 tires that equipped it. The
test was made June "a. the hottest June
day ever recorded. The tires were all
pumped to so pounds in the cool atmos-
phere Of the garage. After some in
termittent driving the car was run at
high speed continuously half an hour
block covered with hot tar. The test
concluded with a little spin at 40 miles
an hour over hot brick pavement The
air pressure was measured quickly
thereafter. It had increased an aver
&c Of exactly four pounds.
This was no difference at all so far
as the welfare Of the tire was con-
cerned.
Tire men declare emphatically that
underinflation, not OverinflatiOn, is
the thing to guard against If tires are
to be protected and proper mileage OBJ
tanned. It is realized that some car
owners will insist on using their tires
at less than recommended air pressures
for the sake Of greater comfort, but
the result inevitably is shorter tire
life.

II has remained for the motor car

As nearly every person knows. the

cream from the milk
Here is the way the automobile in

farmer and his cream separator
In every big factory hundreds OF
gallons Of oil are used while various
parts Of the motor car are being drilled
The oil streams over the tool as it
bOres through the metal aiding in the
work and keeping the metal cool
Consequently much oil sticks to the
metal shavings and dust.
At big motar car plants the shavings
are scoOped into the cream separator
The oil is separated from the metal and
used again, effecting a big saving dur.
