Would the removal of spring leaves
improve the riding qualities of cal?
If so, which leaves, and how many? !
have equipped II with shock absorbers
and keep the leaves we'll fabricated
without helping II materially.
1t is not advisable TO remove any of
the leaves from the springs. These
are designed to carry the load without
being too. stiff, and the removal OF
leaves would not only weaken the
springs unduly. but might spoil the
riding qualities. p,

How often Is II necessary 70 change
he oil in an engine crank case?
Some people change 1t about every
thousand miles, and It seems advisable
TO do 1t that often after removing the
oil through the plugs at the bottom OF
the crank case 1t is a good plan to MI
the case to the normal level with kefo-
sene. Start the engine. run It for few
seconds and then drain the kerosene
thoroughly and ill with fresh engine
oil. The Kerosene cleans the crank case
and cuts the gummed OH and other
foreign matter.

How can I stop the rafting in the
brake bands on my carr ..,.
Possibly the brakes need refining.
When worn down they usually are
noisy. Also SHIN up the suspension
points so that there will be no lost
side motion. II is advisable to use
small coil springs to keep the suspend
ed parts from hitting the brake drums.

Representative Eastman Introduces
Bill Whereby Opelousas May
Secure A New Charter

Representative Eastman intro
duced a bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives which will give OpelGa-
a a new charter. The bill will he
passed with no opposition, as The
vast majority of the people Of Ope-
lousas are in accord vita it.
The citizens of Opelousas have
been clamoring for d change Of
charter for several yeas. during
the last few months, however the
demand began to grow much more
rapidly. Mayor Loeb then toos. the
Iaatter up with the people them
selves and he was enlisted in the
cause, after which the city caln-
Gil, including Mr.. Eastman, who
was a member of tn foJileil at
that time, began working with a
view of having the old charter
made new.
Under the proposed new charter
the election will be called every
four years; OpeIousas will secure
relief from oyerta1ation and many
other good features will also be
added.

KILL THE TICKS

They r still discussing the ques-
ton whether the tick can be eradi-
Gated, notwithstanding ene-third Of
the originally infested area has been
cleaned. They refers to the poll
t~icians, the standpatters, the igno-
rant and those who don't want to
learn. Some men knew fifteen
years ago that the ticks could be
eradicated, and knew how it could
be done; but it will take some peo-
pie is years more to learn that the
ticks can be eradicated for less
than it takes to feed them for one
season.-The Progressive Farmer.

WHAT A WELL MANAGED Or
CHARD AND GARDEN WILL
Do FOR YOU

| have Learned a few things on
my little farm. I have learned that
one can almost supply a family on
the fruits and vegetables that one
can raise. Would you like to know
how I did it? I have divided that lit
tie farm which consists of two lots,
into two sections. / one | grow the
tree and bush fruits and other
things which are permanent in
character and don't to be planted
from year to year.
/ have on that little farm five or
six varieties of apples. three varl-
cites of cherries. some six varieties
of plums and as many kinds OF
pears. | have peaches which, be-
cause of the different varieties, give
! Inc peaches for fully two months in
the year. | have three or four
kinds of r~aspberries, strawberries,
and e%urrants, red, white and black.
/ have everything else Of that char
aeter that will grow in our section
Of the country. They grow along
the sides Of the farm.
Then, m the other part Of this
little farm, which is ploWed every
year, I grow the ANNALS. We pro
duce in that section all the vege.
tables we want, and more; we have
them in abundance to give to oul
neighbors. It has not been neees,
sary for IS to buy a quart of frui
or vegetables for about six years.

PROPOSES A PLAN TO
GUARD THE PARTY
State Committeeman Believes That
Protective Legislation Is
Needed

Baton Rouge, La May 16.-L. +.
Thomas, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, OF
Shreveport, believes some legisla-
ton looking to the protection of the
Democratic party against opposi-
ton parties, is necessary at this
session. He has framed up two
bills, covering two phases OF what
he believes to be needs, and will
discuss them with Gov. Pleasant.
One provides for the ousting OF
members elected to parish, district
and state Democratic committees,
and after such election, turn to the
support of some other party. Mr..
Thomas would empower these re-
spective committees to declare the
seats of such members vacant and
call for the election of their sue
cessors. Gases of this nature arose
in the recent campaign.
The other, that whens a candI-
date is nominated in the Demo-
cratic primary and then turns to
the support of some other party IN
the general election, that his noml-
nation be declared void and the
committees a1aving jurisdiction over
his district to be empowered TO
nominate some other candidate as
the representative of the Demo
cratic party.
There are many instances at hand
where members of parish police
juries were nominated in the DEM
ocratic primary and in the general
election supported the Bull Moose
candidate. There We're a few MEM
bers of the legislature in the same
class. They were nominated as
Democrats, then supported Parker.
Mr.. Thomas will remain in Baton
Rouge until after the state Demo-
cratic convention, which will meet
here, next Tuesday, May %,
