Every time ne makes this state

interest by his audience, as practi-
cally an manufacturers are using
what is known as the water-cooled
system. The Franklin however. uses
the air-cooled system exclusively.
and points 10 it as one Of the strong
features.
TRUE" says Crane. the others
are using what they call water
cooled, but ii is really 'air-cOoleS.

Doe water, but what coOls the water -?
Air. There. you have it. So YOU

gine is air-cooled. If the water was
boiling il wouldn't cool it, While
indirect. the systems are air-cOoled.
ours. however. is directly air
cooled and it has proved its worth"
Mr.. Crane has on display ~ parts
which are used in water-cooled cars
and not in Franklin air-cooled ma
chimes. This tends To- eliminate
complication and makes the engine
much SIMPLER.

THE COLORADO STILL
 CONTINUED ID RISE

The Colorado is steadily rising, the guage registering a fraction over twenty-three feet at noon today, and will reach the twenty-five foot stage within three days. According to the latest information received by the To- cal reclamation off ice after reaching twenty-five feet the river will begin to recede and pbroably drop several feet before the regular June flood waters reach this point.
 One unusal thing about the present guage of the riveE is the fact that at the present time the river is carry ing 60,000 second feet of water, as against about 30,000 second feet at the same guage measurement in previous years. This is attributed to the river bed having been so thoroughly secured out by the January flood, and the ab- normal amount of water that has been flowing down the river almost ever since the disaster of last January. Up to date the river has discharged up- wards of eight million acre feet of water since the first of the year, as compared to a scant five million for the same period last year.
 The fact that the bed Of the river has been scourd out so deep will com pei the Imperial valley Irrigating Company to construct a much deeper diversion dam at Hanlon Heading than it had last year, otherwise it will get no water at all during low water time after the spring flood subsidies.

24-HOUR CLOCKS IN
 VOGUE IN ENCL AND
Associated Press)

LONDON, May 19.-Field Marshal Lord French, who is now responsible for the home defenses of England, has introduced the twenty-four hour clock time system throughout his depart ment, to prevent the danger of confus- ing A. NJ. with P M. One o'clock in army orders now means one in the morning; twelve o'clock is noon, and twenty-four o'clock is midnight.
 An order issued by Lord French at seven in the evening is timed 19 o'clock. Thus there can be no pos sibility of mistake. Many years ago m attempt was made to introduce the round time' system in this country, and clocks and watches were manu- factured with the full 24 hours on the 3ials; but, the idea never became popular.

 Upham has just returned from the conferences in the East, and he said that the East favored Root; if Root is found impossible, probably a West. erner would be selected. He said that the leaders believed Roosevelt would get only about so votes on the first ballot.
 Tickets to the convention are now bringing from $50 to $250.

EXPERIENCE COSTLY
 TEACHER SOMETIMES

The old saying Experience is the best teacehr" contains some truth, but it is always real economy to learn everything by experience? If so, we might as we'll abandon our technl- cal schools and colleges and let every one go to Schoolmistress Experience. However, it is not the purpose of this article to decry experience as good teacher, since schooling without ex- perience and theory without practice are of little practical value in this cold, hard world The point is that sometimes we go as much too far in one direction as in the other, and eX- perience may prove to be very eX- pensive means of education.
 Why should we not take advantage of what our fathers and grandfathers have learned in farming and why not utilize the methods which our neigh bors have found successful? Such ideas may save us time and money.
 Recently the writer happened to visit a very successful farmer, who has made a big reputation as wheat grower. So successful has he been that he has been wont to boast that the common practice of treating wheat with formalin for smut was not neces- sary for him. However, the other day he wore a long face and thoughtful air, for he has just discovered that about one-third of his wheat crop was so infested with smut that it was worthless as grain.
 This farmer has learned by expert ence the value of treating grain for smut, and probably he will never have this trouble again But this little lesson has cost him about $3,O00.
 Did it pay?

County Recorder James T. Hodges has expressed the desire that every one in the county register for the fall primaries as soon as possible. If the people will take the time to place their names on the register now, they will save a heavy rush at the end of the registering period September 1st, and will save themselves a tedious stand and wait in a long line during the final hours. To date the registration has been fairly heavy, but it is beginning to drag. Yumaites should go to the courthouse now and sign up."

Invasions of Russia.

The first great invasion of Russia was that of the Huns, a race of fierce and warlike Asiatics, who swept over eastern Europe in the fourth century.
 In the thirteenth century the golden horde of Tartars captured Russia, and from 123S to 1462 the country was un- der the yoke of the Mongols. In 1895 Tamerlane invaded Russia, but retired. In 1462 the Slavs again gained the as- tendency, and Ivan III. (he Great founded the present monarchy and introduced firearms and cannon into Russia.
 In 14T0 there was another g at in- yasion of Tartars, but they were dri7- en out. In 1613 the present royal fam fly, the Romanoffs, gained the throne. In 17OO the Swedes invaded Russia, but after several victories they were routed.
 The last great invasion of Russia was that of Napoleon. His disastrous retreat from Russia, in which most of bis army was destroyed, marked the beginning of the end of bis power.- St Louis Post-Dispatch.
