URGES USE OF TRACTORS
Local Agent Says Machines Would
Be Big Help to Farmers.

The campaign for increased food
production and the shortage of labor,
which it is expected will become
acute at harvest time. combine to
make the farm tractor an advisable
and necessary investment for the
farmer, enabling him to do consider
ably more work at less operating
expense, according to E. Nepple of
the Rose-Nepple Auto company, local
agents for the big Bulr' tractor,
now being actively introduced in this
territory with the assistance of Geo.
F. Kendall of the Northwest Buick
company of Seattle.
"The tractor can do the work of
three or four teams in blowing, for
example," Nepple says, land do it
more speedily, and 1t takes only one
man to operate it. Furthermore. it
can be run day and night, and that IL
what farmers in the wheat fields Of
Eastern Washington are doing, using
searchlights at night"
]. A. Donnelly of Chambers Prairie
owns Big Bull tractor. and, accord
ing to Mr.. Nepple, recently plowed an
S0-acre tract at q cost Of 80 cents
per acre for distillate and oil. Be-
sides doing blowing, the machine can
be used for all sorts Of farm work
and 10 especially useful at harvest
time, the agents say. The Big Bull
burns gasoline. distillate or kerosene.

 "Why, no, Pm sorry to say" re- piled the grocer. "The fact is, have promised my support to the other candidate"
 The politician laughed. "Ah," he said, "in politics promises and per forming are two different things"
 "In that case" said the grocer cor dially, q shall be glad to give you my promise, sir"

MOTORISTS BEWARE 0F
 DEADLY MONONDE POISON

A recent news item leads us to point out, to those of our readers who own cars, a danger which the expe- rience of life insurance men has shown to be a real one, We refer to the practice of running the engine in the garage. ......
 One owner may pride himself upon the fact that he can, and does, peri odically give his car thorough over hauling and testing out. Another is enough of a practical mechanic to have rigged up lathe or drill or cut ter in his garage, to be run from the car, Perhaps another is farmer, and has found it easier to bring the churning to the garage than to take the engine to the milk house. In any of these or thousand other connec- tions one may have developed the habit of running the engine in the garage; and during the present weather, if this is done at all, it will be done in a closed garage.
 This innocent appearing custom may easily lead to fatality-not, as one might expect to read, from ex- plosion, but from far more insidious cause. Incomplete combustion of gas oline is attended by formation of car bon monoxide. The only way to avoid this is to secure perfect combustion of every last atom of fuel; and every motorist knows that this is always difficult, and often impossible.
 Now, carbon monoxide is deadly poison. Air containing more than one part of this gas in 1000 is dangerous and the breathing of air whose car bon monoxide content exceeds one part in 800 means rapid coma and death. It is a treacherous gas, too. Tasteless, odorless and colorless, it reveals its presence to none of the senses, but only by it's effects. And these appear, not gradually, but in the form of such sudden and violent dizziness that unconsciousness follows at once almost as from a blow. Be- fore the victim can know his danger he is lying senseless on the floor; a few moments in the atmosphere of constantly increasing poison content, and he is beyond all help.
 The most experienced chauffeurs as well as motor dilettantes have lost their lives in this manner. So if the engine must be run in the garage, the latter should be left thoroughly open to all outdoors. An engine running normally, even with doors and win dows ajar, may generate carbon mon- oxide fast enough to outstrip the cir culation from this limited ventilation. But much better plan, and wholly safe one, is to take the engine out doors for anything beyond the very briefest test or use. There, any car bon monoxide given off, being lighter than air, will be dispersed to height at which it will endanger no one.-- Medical Journal.

An Unpardonable Sin

To live in a town.
 To make a living off it, or out of it;
 To educate your children in it; To get everything you possibly can out of it, and put absolutely nothing into it.--Somebody.

ARIZONA-WHERE--

(The following epi-cactus on Ari- zona, is by Lillian Francis Aple- waite and was not intended as can didate for honors as a state anthem, but is to be repeated softly as you go into a dry camp and find your can teen has been leaking on you.) Arizonal Arizona! where the sun is hot and bright,
 Where the gila monster warbles to the pensive moon at night Where the state is "dry" as finder and you cannot drown your thirst Though you drain the oaken bucket till you very nearly burst. Where the horned toad and the lizard flourish like the mesquite tree, Where the omnipresent woodtick keeps you scratching constantly, Where the cowboy in his anguish, ex- ecutes frenzied dance When the scorpion jabs his stinger through the bosom of his pants. Where the irrigated pumpkins grow in clusters on the vine, Where the plutocrat yank copper from the bowels of the mine, Where the housewife runs for office while her hubby herds the kid And the rampant sufffragettist is still holding down the lid. Where the everlasting cactus stabs you with its renowned thorn, Where the sizzing heat of summer makes you look on clothes with scorn,
 Where the neighbours blatant rooster crows throughout the night and day And the whistling, seething sand. storm drives your peace of mint away.
 Where the mocking bird and burrc sing in pleasing harmony, Where the wobbly Indian maiden is g joyous sight to see,
 Where the blooming legislature bars the festive poker game, But--we love you Arizona! yes, WI love you just the same!
