HENNEP|N COUNTY STAYS WET
Attempt to Gust the Saloons at Min
neapoIis Falls by Over 5000 in
Record Breaking Vote.

In the greatest battle Minneapolis
and Hennepin county ever witnessed
John Barleycorn was victor over the
forces of prohibition by more than
5000 votes.
The total vote cast was the great
est the county has known, exceeding
the last gubernatorial fight, when Co.
600 ballots were cast. The vote on
county option totalled over $4,000.
The landslide for the wet forces
carried through the city and swept
in the country districts which were
figured as certain to go dry.
Wards that were considered sure
to turn in a big dry vote completely
reversed expectations. Even the
Eighth and Thirteenth wards failed
to develop the dry strength expected.
Other wards went overwhelmingly
wet.
Charges of fraud beyond any CON
ceivable degree were made by the dry
leaders. They asserted they had am
ple information on which to annul the
election.
"The frauds have been wholesale,
said DIR. George B. Stafford, president
of the Minnesota Anti-Saloon league
'T cannot estimate their extent nor
give particulars, because each case
will be investigated and verified to
form the basis Of contest should we
decide to hold a recount.
"Wet workers brought voters to the
polls by the hundreds in automobiles
Judges in wet wards swore in voters
without asking them questions. They
simply lined them up in rows and lie,
them qualify. In the Third, Fifth and
Sixth wards the vets voted dead mer
and men who had registered for the
last election and have since moved
away"
By voting to retain the saloons Min
neapolis citizens made sure of a we
city for at least three years.
Under the county option law anoth
er election on the liquor issue canno
be held for three years. Only state
wide prohibition law passed by th'
legislature at it's 1917 session can GUS
LIQUOR from the city.

LEARNING TO DRIVE
ADVICE THAT BEGINNER WILL
 DO WELL TO HEED.
Prospective Autoist Must FamiIiarize Himself With the Machine, Is
 Declaration of Expert.

Take your time during first month of driving. keep cool and have req son for everything you do and above all. think-do not forget it. think-and you will get along all right.
 Know what each pedal is for, know what each button will do, but be sure about it, and do not lose your head. Then you will not get into any trouble.
 Early morning is the best time to learn the rudiments of driving. Go slowly and keep to the right. Get in the habit of watching for street cars both in the street you are driving on and in the cross streets.
 After short period. when you feel satisfied you have mastered the ele- mentary things, drive later in the day when the traffic is heavy. But be careful. This will accustom you to the crowds. During the learning period drive slowly. Do not speed up. Most of the trouble comes from driving too fast.
 Find out all about your car and treat it with consideration. Watch fabrication. You do not go without food for several days. nor should you allow your car to be without sufficient oil and water.
 And remember your car is a piece of machinery. It is not infallible. Do not expect the impossible of it.

Arizona.

Mining men are now looking to Mo have county for zinc properties, and it is probable that many new mines will be brought in within the next six months.
 The price of copper has stimulated development work at the Mesa gold camp. Mine and prospect owners are busy taking out ore and opening up new ground.
 The Arizona Copper Company Is gradually increasing its production as the demand for copper increases, hay ing produced about 300 tons more the past month than in any month since the slump came.
 Among the important acts of legis- lation passed by the Arizona Legisla- ture at this session is the establish ment of State Bureau of Mines. The present Bureau of Mines, although not state organization. has been con- nected with the University of Arizona and the enlargement of it's scope through increased appropriations. will allow it to fulfill the demands upon it

Adjusting Carburetor.

Carburetor trouble, which is usually prevalent at this time of the year as a result of changing atmospheric condi- tions, usually is due not so much to the atmosphere as to the rash judg- ment attempted by the inexperienced motorist. In seeking a new adjust ment, whether of fuel or air, care should be observed not to move the adjusting device too far at a time, and to wait until its effect is perfectly evident before moving it again. If no change is evident, the device should be restored to its former position and some other adjustment tried, if pos sible. In carburetors possessing sev- eral means of regulation 1t is possible by few careless movements to pro- duce a condition of hopeless confusion from which only an expert carburetor man can extricate the luckless experi. menter.

How Many Tir.s We Use.

In round numbers there are now 1.600,000 automobiles in the country. and not one of them can possibly get along with less than four tires a year. The most conservative estimate must place the number per car at six tires year. This would be 9.600.O tires. In addition there are scheduled for manufacture during 1915 not less than 600.000 new cars. which must be fitted with at least 2.4O0,000 new tires. mak- ing a total of at least 12,0OO, 900 tires. In reality the number is much greater, even though a million or more tires are "retreated," fitted with covers" |" etc. Taxicabs and some of the high powered converted racing cars could not possibly get along with less than 20 tires year. The money spent for tires in 1914 in the United States alone probably exceeded $200,000.000.
