this divide the pullets and use the

Locate the Fuse Box.

Most self-starting systems have a
fuse box installed at an accessible
point. The purchaser of a new car
should acquaint himself with this as
quickly as possible. Very often con-

tenn can be eliminated by the install
lation of a new fuse. This is a simple
matter, but if not known may cause
a lot of trouble and unnecessary ex-
penSe.

WILL FIGHT REPEAL .
Of THE WAGE ACT
REPRESENTATIVE ADAMSON WILL
RESIST ATTEMPT TO REPEAL
EIGHT-HOUR ACT.
Author Of Much Discussed Measure
Gives Notice That Congress Will
Spank Both Sides to Controversy
If Necessary.

hington.-Reports that railroad
and brotherhood heads in peace con
terences have planned to propose the
repeal of the Adamson act and the
substitution Of working agreement
Of their own for it, has aroused Rep
resentative Adamson, author of the
law. to- declare that congress would
spank both sides to the controversy
If necessary"
MIR Adamson is willing to cooper
ate in any plan employer and employed
may evolve for the Interpretation of
his law, but will vigorously oppose
repeal of it,
The measure was passed in good
faith and it is a constitutional en-
actment regulating hours of labor and
not wages" he said on Sunday. Let
the roads aud their men settle their
wage disputes.
Congress will see that the public
gets fair deal. If it becomes neces-
sary to spank both sides, we'll spank
them, though | hope that won't be
necessary"
Representative Adamson says the
result of the presidential election
made the employers more eager for
peace than they were last fall and
that the growing belief that the presi-
dent stands for compulsory arbitration
law has put the brotherhood leaders
in conciliatory frame of mind.

ARM|ST|CE NOT
ASKED BY BERLIN
EXPECT PARLEYS TO BE HELD
AT THE HAGUE ABOUT THE
MIDDLE OF JANUARY.
But It Is Not Expected That Military
Operations Will Cease at Once
in Event Belligerents Agree
to Peace Farley.

London.-Telegraphi from Copen-
hagen, the correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph company quotes
the Frankfurter Zeitung as saying:
Germany does not want a cessa-
tion of fighting, but merely confer
ence at which the belligerents shall
openly state their peace proposals.
"A conference will be held at The
Hague about January Is. While the
erents will be allowed to continue
military operations"
The Frankfurter Zeitung continues:
Germany must try to prevent the
entente from giving an evasive an
swer. We expect wide cleavage of
views at the outset of the negotiations,
but great apparent divergence of opin-
ion will have less significance when
the oral explanations are offered.
The standpoints of both parties are al
ready partly identical as regards the
general fundamental aims of the war,
and the German note must be under
stood as meaning that part of the Ger
man proposals refer to the re-estab-
lishment of international conventions
for the avoidance of international con-
ficts and guarantees of international
peace"
Referring to the possibility of al
leviting the burden of armaments the
Zeitung expresses the belief that an
agreement to this effect is possible,
owing to the sufferings caused by war,
and adds:
But Germany must not be asked to
precede the others in reducing her
forces. Moreover, Germany does not
believe in abrogating general mill
tary service, although there are many
objections against such. 1t would be
abrogated if there were a common or
ganization of nations in which Ger
many would have an important place.

State Aid for Irri-
CATION Enterprises.

An Idaho irrigation district
asks tor an appropriation of
100000 to erect an electric
power plant to pump water.
IT this precedent is established
there will be other irrigation dis
tricts demanding similar grants
from the State for various pur.
poses.
Before the state builds a power
plant for any one district, there
should be careful and painstak
ing investi alton into the ieasib-
llity of the project from n com.
mercial standpoint.
The President of the district
testified before the Public Utilities
Commission that so per cent OF
the water pumped 1T feet frorn
the Snake River was lost by seep-
age in the main canal.
If such a condition exists, the
solutions of the troubles of the
district lies not in a state power
plant, but III stopping the waste
of water and consequent waste
of power
The district that asks state aid
to the amount of 100000 is
only one OF many irrigation pro.
jects which are in "A struggling

whether it isgood business policy

War Order Pros
perity in Japan.

8 Washington, Dec. 20.-Reports
of the most marvellous prosper
ity reach hear from Japan, where
every evidence of widespread act
ivity and profit is to be had.
Bank clearings and deposits, the
extension of industrial plants,
the growth Of foreign trade-all
tell of the wonderful expansion
of japanese trade and expansion.
1t is altogether natural that
this should be true with respect
to Japanese passports of war
material to her neighbor and
ally, the Russian Empire; and it
is likewise OF no special wonder
that Japan should be profting
largely through an unimpeded
entrance into the trade fields OF
the Far East which which are
necessarily neglected by the Eur
opean bellIeerents. But that the
growth OF Japanese trade should
also be largely at the expense OF
the United States is sorneth thing
which cannot be regarded with
90 mach complaceucv.
The balance OF trade between
Japan ard this country will prob
ably amonnt to nearly $3.50
100000 this year. Hes exports
to North Amel ica--most OF which
came to us-amounted to Abou,
$50, 100000 last year; and al
ready i'll this year she has sent us
$1O5,O0O,0OO worth.
This is but a beginning; and the
japanese is paying special atten
tion to the efforts of her business
men to extend their plants. and
their trade. Special subsidies
been paid to the promoters ofnew
enterprises, particularly for the
production OF synthetic dyes, of
glass, of celluloid and of paper.
But even the unrivalled indust-
ry of the Japanese workmen,
coupled with the sagacity OF the
Japanese business man aided by
the bounty of the Japanese gov
ernment, would not in itself ex-
plain the unparalleled develop
ment OF Japanese trade with the
United States. We have our.
selves made the largest contrib
ution to that result by letting
down the tariff bars which once
shut out the influx Of Japanese
goods to the A American market.
The European war has given
Japan ready access to the mark
cts OF the Orient through the re-
moval OF European competition.
The Democratic tariff has given
Japan ready access to the Amer
ican market thr oughthe removal
OF the only barrier between the
low level OF Japanese wages and
the high-wage level of the United
States.
