A little common sense in the use OF
a self starter helps tremendously. This
is particularly true in cold weather.
one of the big oil refining companies
has lust sent out to their trade a cir
cuInr letter which contains enc of the
most pertinent hints on this subject
that we have ever read. This Is what
they say:
III every operator Of an automobile
during extreme cold weather would
throw out the clutch before he puts
bia foot on the starter. there wouldn't
he so much trouble over exhausted
storage batteries. Ninety-nine men out
of a hundred will put their foot on the

yell as gears. thereby using up very
quickly all the stored-up energy. then

cause they have to go out and crank
their motor for half an hour to get it

Fifty Years
decS,mon,3 st

The Rev. C. L. Hall. Of North Dakota,
for 40 years a missionary on the Fort
Berthold reservation. declared in an
address before the American Mission
airy Association that the Indian and
white races will be completely merged
through intermarriage within the next
50 years.
Despite tho fact. that the Indian
birth rate IL rising and the death rate
falling, believe that the Indian race
will have disappeared so years from
now" he said. "Intermarriage between
whites and reds is rapidly increasing.
The only Objectionable feature lies in
the fact that many whites are marry
ing Indians to obtain their shares Of
tribal wealth. But this, too. is hurry
ing the amalgamation." @SpriDgneld
