the greater part of New England early

The cold seemed more intense than

WATCH THE COOLING SYSTEM.

Some cooling systems are SC closely proportioned that the stoppage of the fan, or sediment in the water jackets or radiator will cause the engine to overheat and tLe water in the radiator to boil," says Mechanical Bulletin. No. 3,lentitled: Engine Over heating," just issued by the Standard Oil Company.
 Care should be taken to see that the hose used for radiator connections has not routed and small particles of rubber have not gotten into the cooling SyS- tenn, also that the formation of scale and sediment in the water jackets is not so serious as to impair radiation.
 A very effective method of removing sediment and particles of foreign matter from the cool ing system, is to fill the radiator with boiling water, in which from three to five pounds of sal soda has been dissolved. Allow this solution to stand in the radiator and water jackets for twenty four hours, after which it should be drained off and the system thoroughly flushed out with clean water. If this is done once month, or at least every 2,OOO miles, it will keep the. radiator and water jackets in very efficient condi tion.
 'The fan should always be kept in an efficient condition, care being taken to see that the belt is not slipping and that the blades have not strengthened out, as in this case the fan will not draw sufficient air through the radiator to insure proper cooling.
 Not less than seven per cent of the power developed by the cylinder is lost in overcoming the friction of the piston, and it is, thlrefore. necessary that the cooling medium be kept at it's highest point of efficiency to enable the lubricating oil to per form it's duty Experience has proved that oil made from West ern asphalt base crude maintains lubricating efficiency at cylinder heat better than oils made from other crudes, thus aiding ma terially in keeping the motor at the proper operating tempera- turo"

SAFETY IN DEMOCRACY.

Again I ask, what could the people gain by returning the re- publican party to power?
 With war disturbing conner cial relations and affecting the revenues of every country in the world, do they want another job of tariff tinkering, superintend- ed by Boss" Penrose. of Penn sylvania, who would be chair man of the Senate Finance Com mittee, and Joseph w. FOrdney, of Michigan, who would be chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee?
 Do they want to go back to the Giscredited panic breeding banking and currency law of unpleasant memory?s
 Do they want the income tax abolished?
 Do they want to turn the Gov ernment over in time like this to men who, fired by political am mbition, have viciously assail ed Woodrow Wilson for course of conduct that has kept his country out of the European war?
 Do they want action" in Eu- rope, as many of these men have demanded?
 Do they want to trust the des- tiny of this Republic to the men whose utteranceS for year aud half will bear no interpretation but the interpretation of war
 Do they want to exchange prosperity and peace for indus trial uncertainty and the dang CTS of war?
 Iu the coming election the people will again stand by the President. Forgetting their pol itical differences and moved by the patriotic sentiment, America first and party afterwards, they will endorse by an Overwhelm- ing majority the man who, with infinite patience, quiet courage and masterly ability, and with out the sacrifice of national hon or, has successfully g1ided his country through storm and stress and danger into the quiet harbor of peace, safety, and prosperity.

MEXICO

As was to be expected, the i jingo organs and especially those which have heretofore called themselves progressive and are now under the painful necessity of shouting for their new masters, are filled with criticism of the Wilson adminis- tration concerning it's attitude towards Mexico and the pos sibility of war with that unhap- py country.
 The papers that have come back or that have been sandbag- ged back into the fold must. perforce, demonstrate She sim cerity of their conversion or reversion by waving the bloody shirt abroad and covering their past slackness by their present earnestness of effort.
 They tell of the awful" negligence of the administration in mot needing the predictions this journal made four year ago" that the United States would have to go to war with Mexico and their one cry is for b-l -o-o-d.
 The people of the United States are not to be deluded by this noise. They remember that neither Roosevelt or Taft ever protected an American in Mexico or anywhere else. They should remember that, under the ad- minis ations of both of these fire eating patriots and Elijahs, Americans in Mexico found safety in registering themselves as EngliShmen and as Germans and in claiming the protection of the consulates of those powers.
 Under either Taft or Roosevelt this nation would have been largely helpless against a war with Mexico until a reasonable time for getting ready had elaps- ed. The army was diSorganiz- ed, the navy was joke when Taft left the White House-and they were in just the same con- dition when Roosevelt handed them over to him.
 Today, after the lapse of less than four years, we have an ad- equate army on the Mexican border, an army we'll equipped and ready, if need shall arise, for an immediate advance. Eff ty thousand men wearing the uniform of the United States are ready to do their duty, whatever that duty may be, and to do it efficiently. Under the slack, negligent and ineffective" ad- rministration of Woodrow Wilson, the army and navy of the United States are, for the first time in decades, ready for service.-- Arizona Gazette

BIG RANCH DEAL.

One of the biggest ranch deals closed in southern Arizona was consummated the past few days when Ben J. Mckinney, pro minent Cochise county ranch man, sold his Yellowstone ranch northwest of Wilcox, to Deming Isaacson, owner of the adjoining ranch, for a consideration said to be approximately S15O,OOO.
 The deal carried with it about $500 head of cattle. The new purchase gives MT. Isaacson control of most of the range country cp to the San Pedro and makes him owner of one of the largest holdings in southern A rizona.- .-Prospector.

SOME CANTELOUPES.

A Tucson dispatch of recent date says:
 Trains laden with canteIoupeS from the Imperial valley are passing through Tucson at the rate of from four to six per day. They are bound for the big east ern centerS, where the Califor- nia melons enjoy high reputa- tion among cafe and restaurant ca tererS.
 Thus far about forty trains have passed through, each of approximately 70 cars. As each car contains something like 5000 melons, a whole trainload would contain 63O,OOO of the luscious canteloupes. In forty trains there would be approximately 25, 100000 melons.
 If each melon measures five inches in diameter, the melons that have passed through would if laid end to end reach dis tance of 126,OOO,OOO inches or 1O5, 100000 feet, which is ap- proximately 2OOO miles. If sold for an average of 10 cents eacE retail, the melons passing through thus far would repre- sent a retail value of approxim- ately S2, 100000.

The Guggenheims have put their stamp of approval on Chloride by taking over the Elkhart mine. For several months their experts have been on the ground making reports and examinations with the result afore stated. The tremendous import of this action on the part of the largest concern in the world is at first glance hardly appreciated. No amount of ad- vertising that Chloride could do would reach the sources of wealth that will be the result of this transaction. The Guggeu- helms are known as the most conservative body of mining men in the country and rarely enter new field without spending large sums of money in getting the highest paid expert advice obtainable in the present day. Their system of check and re check is of character Unequaled and when at last they determine to open a property it is done on a huge scale for months and sometimes years before actual production is undertaken Miner.

The rapid growth of Chloride is daily adding to the trials and labors of the local postoffice. Daily a long line of people stand patiently for hours waiting their turn at the window-sometimeS long after $ o'clock. As usual, Uncle Sam is the last person to take notice of crowded conditions in his postoffice, and Chloride is no exception to the rule. Scores of people clamor for boxes with the usual answer that none are available. This works a hardship on newly arrived business people who, perforce, are compelled to desert their business and stand in line or wait until the following morning. Miner.

LONDON. October f2.-Teutou troops
are pursuing the Rumanian forces on
the whole eastern Transylvanian front.
saws the official statement issued today
by the German army headquarters
staff. The second Rumanian army, the
announcement adds, has been driven
back into the frontier positions. Bu-
charest admits Rumanian troops are
retiring on the right bank of the Maros
and on the left bank of the Alt.
The recapture from the Rumanians
of the Transylvanian city of kron-
stadt is regarded in Vienna as having
been due largely to the generalship and
strategy of Gen. Won Falkenhayn, ably
supported by Austro-Hungarian gem
erals Won Falkenhayn was able to
execute what is regarded as one OF
the most brilliant open field maneu-
yers of the war. OF the troops which
assisted him especial praise is given
the Ravarians and the Hungarian hon
vedS.
The fact that the Austro-German forces
were able to interrupt Eoumanian tele-

MISTAKEN FOR KNUDSEN

Rear Admiral Gleaves, commanding the
Atlantic destroyer flotiila, reported today
his personal belief that no steamer Kings
ton or Kingstonian was sunk by the Ger
man submarine during its operations of
Nantucket lightship.
After several days of search the de-
s.royer force has found no evidence
that :, ship of that name was III the
vicinity, and if Admiral Gleaves' theory
is correct only five ships were sunk. Ad-
njral Gleaves' report follows:
"Destroyers continued the search until
midnight Tuesday from Montauk Point
TO the Nantucket lishtship. 1t Is my
personal belief that ali survivors have
been accounted for and that there was no
steamer Kingston or Kingstonian, the
name Knudsen having been understood
by hail to be Kingston. Destroyers have
returned and search discontinued
