Hints to the Car owner.

A tire pressure gauge is worth its
weight in gold to the motorist, rs 1t
will save many dollars in the course
of year. Don't guess at the press
ure in your tires, but make sure it
is right. Some people pretend to
tell the pressure by noting the re-
sistance when they kick the tire.
This tells nothing and is not a re-
liable method Use a tire gauge and
be safe.

KEROSENE

Kerosene is the best known and
most generally used illuminant We
are all familiar with it. AS is often
the case, familiarity breeds con-
tempt" or more properly speaking
carelessness and Indifference. Most
of the kerosene fires are due to mis-
management of lamps, lanterns and
kerosene stoves, a few only to defec-
tive construction of such stoves. Ker-
osene is really the blameless agent
of human carelessness
During the last fiscal year there
were reported to this department AZ
kerosene lamp explosions, 3 lantern
explosions and IS kerosene stove ex-
blossoms. The fires resulting there
from caused total fire loss of S84,-
$1,000. The elimination of this waste
alone would pay the running expenses
of this department for about three
years,
Electric or gas light, properly in
stalled, should be used where possible
instead of lamps.
Lamps. A metal lamp bowl is al
ways safer than one of glass. The
base should be broader and heavier
than the bowl to prevent tipping over.
The burners should always be secure
ly fastened to the bowl and kept clean.
The lamp chimney should fit we'll and
be free from cracks, wicks should ex-
actly fit the burner, be trimmed regu-
larly and not be permitted to get too
short. Lamps should not be over
filled, small air space should be left on
top of the oil, nor should they be per-
mitted to become empty. Hanging

cedah Treasurer. A committee on
Freight Rates on Tile and Drainage
material was appointed consisting of
A. E. Holcomb, E. P Arpin, Grand
Rapids and J. A. Reeves, Chicago
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Codding-
ton spoke on the qualifications of a
drainage commissioner and started a
lively discussion. Mr.. Coddington IA
vored state drainage commissioner
and this remark brought out great
deal of rapid fire oratoray from those
who were in favor of it and those who
opposed. Mr.. Coddington said that
it was necessary to get man who had
been through the mill, who knew the
cost of construction and organization
to fill this position. He also went on
record as being opposed to the cleo
ton of commissioners and thought
that should be left to the court. He
finished by saying that good commits
sioner must be prize fighter, broad
level headed man, a man not afraid
. spend money and a man who could
hold on to money, one Who must stand
firm and must be a man who can not
be bought.
Mr.. Vaughan said there were two
things man mus have to be drain
aGe commissioner and they were, 1st
good horse sense, End, he should pos
sess all the information of drainage
and values he possibly can.
F. w. Lucas, Madison addressed the
association in the evening on the sub
ject, specifications in Drainage Con-

as to filing and care to be given in

Kerosene Stoves. Explosions of

fective valves, improper feeding, want
of cleaning, boiling over of fats,
strong drafts, and placing same close

George the Baptizer, not John
'Tother evening when the wind was
blowing great guns, 1--WE think it was
Friday, and old Boreas was singing
icy sleet over all creation like sugar
sand over wedding cake, little boy
named George Wood went out for
ninst the Wood Co. Drug Store, like
Jack and JILL" to get pail of wa
ter" through nice hole on the river.
1t was dark like unto a black garnet,
and little George Wood stepped as
carefully as kitten upon freshly
mopped floor, till one of his little
''footen tootens" struck little snow
sugar mound, and he stood upon it for
moment like a democratic rooster
at the head of Tilden paper, but just
for moment-and then-and then
down he went like a penny in a con-
tribution box, casouse. We are glad
we don't have to chronicle little Geor-
ge Woods decease. He survived. He
knew of another ice hole about twenty
feet below, and when he stuck his
head out of that hole, he, he left his
little shoes sticking out at the other
while the swiftly congealing water
fastened the insteps to the solid plat
eau of ice, and the story goes on that
there he left 'em. In the morning
they were to be seen sticking up like
the pyramids, Sleeps and Hoops and
some feeling friend, who didn't know
that little George Wood was not yet
an angel had inscribed thereon, in let
ters as big as a dogs foot:
Sacred to the Memory of little
Georgewood
Aged six feet two inches"
and beneath:
Beware! of big high soles."
We picked up one of the pegs, and
have used it for fire poker in the Re
porter office ever since. Little George
Wood is alive and well, and so are we,
for we print the paper on Thursday,
and this is only Monday, and We'll be
far away on the scent of brewery be-
fore then.
