And OF Autumn's cheer, and beauty

When summers on the wane.
God seems to smile upon such scenes
And fair they are, know:
But, ah! the golden years OF life
Give forth a richer glow:
For life itself breathes forth a song
Gods master melody
From out the common threads Of life
He weaves harmony
The years wherein you gave YOUR
strength
To guide and teach the young
These make song transcendent

Do Not Wash Auto with Hone.

DO not use the garden hose to
wash the body Of a highly polished
motor car and do not wash It in hot
water with soap and a scrubbing
brush" says r A. Leavell, automo-
bile expert in the engineer extension
department ut Iowa State college
rubber hose is good method FOR
cleaning the lower portions of the
car, but 1t is positively injurious when
used on the tody and finished sur
faces. The force of the water strik-
ing the varnI,h drives the sand and
grit sticking to the body into the pol
ished surface. destroying it's bril-
liancy.
Cold or tepid water Is preferred in
washing. If the hose is used, the
water should flow without much
force. An ordinary sprinkling can
will work well. The dirt is thus
softened and easily washed of. The
surface can then be dried with soft
sponge. 1t IS better to have two
sponges, one for running gears, which
usually gather considerable oil, grease
and dirt, and che for the body, hood
and other parts.
With care. the body will preserve
its luster for about a year. When
necessary TO polish, a mixture OF
boiled linseed OF, and turpentine viii
restore even an old car to a bright
polish. This is applied sparingly and
rubbed dry.

requested that Governor Harris, as the
states chief executive and ASA candi-
date for reelection. make statement
outlining his purpose TO take vigorous

The Zeppelin which on Tuesday bonn
barded Saloniki was of very large di-
mansions. After making wide detour
of the city it began it's operations by
dropping five bombs, which fell into the
sea. The warships opened fire on it,
but after fourteen shots were obliged TO
cease for fear of wOunding the popula-
ton which was now filling the streets.
The raiders missed the next target, but
tore woman to pieces and wounded
small boy.
Another bomb set fire to warehouse
filed with fats. oils. benzine and sugar.
The buildings flared up like a torch ana
the population became wildly excited.
French gendarmes and zouaves restored
a semblance of order. They brought
volunteer fire brigade with hand pumps
through the mob.
Meanwhile. the Zeppelin continued Ito
rain down it's missiles of destruction
one of which demolished the mosque of
Yussof-Minor, killing three and injuring
eleven Greek refugees from Asia Minor.
