CARELESS APPLICATION
OF AUTO TIRE TUBE

| Since the almost universal use OF
the one-piece transyersely split tire
rims. as used on most Of the modern
cars, the repair men IN general have
often commented upon the large
number of tubes that were being pre-
sented to them for repairs because of
small hole within the radius Of, an
inch or two of the valve stems
An official of the Fisk Rubber
Company says it is quite common
practice for a motorist. in applying
tube and casing to the rim, to push
the tube valve stems through the
rim and then pull the stem through
as far as possible. the beads of the
casing are then properly seated on the
sure put in the tube for initiating.
sure put in thetube for Initiating.
BY pulling the valve stem all the
way through in the manner above
mentioned, the valve spreader on the
tube is tilted up on the casing bead
in such a manner that the portion of
the tube is pinched between the
spreader and the bead and as soon
as air is applied the Iube under pres
sure endeavors to loosen itself from
the pinch between the spreader and
DSHuS- ne hcSuAN ID q ouldti mole IN
the tube.
Often the valve stem does not point
straight and the motorist in endeay-
oring to straighten Il. pinches the
tube as mentioned above.
To avoid pinching "a tube in this
way the mOtorist should proceed as
follows:
Place the tube in the casing. in
flate the tube with just enough air
to round it out so as to take on the
shape Of the casing, apply casing to
rim by putting valve stem through
the hole in the rim but do not pull
il through, just stick the end through
the hole. II it comes through any
further push IL back so that when
you place the tire on the rim the
valve stem spreader VIII be clear of
the tire beads and avond pinching the
tubes atthis point The main point
in trying to avoid pinching the tube
is to make sure that the valve stem
is pushed back as far as possible when
applying the casing to the rim.

new DITCH TO DRAIN
ESQ Mi ES OF LAND
Will Cost About $25O,OOO and Will
Run From Reservation to
River.

The viewers recently appointed by
the court for Judicial Ditch No. 80,
have already begun their duties and
will complete as much of the clerical
labor necessary before they go into
the field to actually view the loca-
tions for the ditch and its laterals.
K. O. Gigstad, of st. Hilaire ar
rived this morning and is busy at
the court house. VIM. Forsberg, of
Warren and Henry Pfund of Killiher
are expected to arrive later.
The new ditch will drain parts of
Marshall, Beltrami and Pennington
counties and will run from a point
on the Thief River about 8 miles
north. of this city east to the reser-
walton. It is expected that it will
drain 25O square miles and cost in
the neighborhood of $250,0O0. Ac-
cording to the records this ditch will
be the third largest in this territory.
The final hearing will be held be-
fore Judge Stanton in Bemidii
sometime in January and it is ex-
pected that the ruling of the Judge
will be in favor of the ditch, as the
amount Of good that this ditch will
DO is almost incalculable.
The ditch will measure is feet at
the bottom and 40 feet at the top
and it is estimated that the work
Will be completed, if it is started, by

TEUTONS CAPTURE
10000 ITALIANS
BERLIN SAYS eRlDGEHEADs ON
TAGLIAMENTO RIVER WERE
CAPTURED.

Berlin.-The Austro-German forces
invading Italy have increased the
number of prisoners taken to more
than 10000. They have captured l.
500 Italian guns. The foregoing in
formation was officially announced by
the German war office.
The Germany statement says the
Teuton Fourteenth Army gained an
other great victory. Portions OF the
Italians retreating forces made
stand at the Tagliamento River. The
bridgehead positions at Dignano and
Codroipo were captured by the Ger
mans.
The Austro-Germans penetrated the
rear guard positions Of the Italians 20
the east of the lower Tagliamento,
where they cut off and captured Co.
600 Italians.
According TO the announcement, all
the Tagliamento bridgeheads have
been captured. Several hundred guns
are said to have been taken by the
Germans. The statement follows:
1.-THE fact taat the development oil
our operations against Italy has beer
so successful may be attributed tc
our rapid blows in the east and to the
incomparably stubborn endurance o.
our troops on all fronts, notably ii
the west. The allied troops of the
Fourteenth Army gained a furthel
great victory. Portions of the enemy
army made a stand at the Tagliamen
to. In the mountains and in the Fruil
plain, to the Udine-Codroipo-Trevis
Railway, the enemy retired. fighting
on to the western bank of the river.
"Bridgehead positions on the east

CABINET DISCUSSES
ITALIAN SITUATION
MILITARY ASPECTS AND ExTEN-
SION OF AID CONSIDEREO-NO
GREAT APPREHENSION.

Washington.-The Italian situation
Wilson and his advisors at cabinet
meeting, the discussion touching i'm
mediate military aspects and the ex-
tension of assistance by the allies.
Furnishing of supplies, especially
coal, badly needed for Italian muni-
ton factories, is said TO be regarded
as this country's particular sphere OF
immediate action.
Although the administration shares
regret and concern over initial sue
cess of the Teutonic drive, high off,
cials here are said to utterly reject
the opinion. advanced in some quar-
ters, that events in Italy can become
decisive of the war or even an import
ant turning point. 1t is felt that set
backs in Italy will act as a spur rath-
er than a encouragement, both upon
Italy and the other allies. There is
no apprehension that Italy will break
down or weaken in adherence to the
common cause against Germany.
Further advices concerning the re.
treat are anxiously awaited in official
and diplomatic quarters. Army Off.
GERS as well as officials of the Italian
embassy appear to be entirely conf
dent that Gen. Cadorna will be able
TO hold the Teutonic forces in check,
Word that the British artillerymen
with the Italian army had brought
their guns through the retirement
without the loss of a battery was wei
coined as indicating that Gen. Cador
mas men were holding their organi
zation in the face of the Smashing
Austro-German assaults. The British
guns are all "heavies," big pieces that
it takes time to withdraw. If ali Ui
them have been saved, American of
ficers think there is every reason te
believe that much of the Italian ar
tillery vital to defense in final stand
also has been brought back.
Reports are taken to indicate thai
the artillery losses OF the Italians
claimed by the Germans to be enor
nous, comprise smaller pieces all,
mountain guns. On the new line, laiC
out years ago as the Italian defensive
frcnt, there are emplacements, char
ted ranges and other factors which
will aid in steDming the tide OF th'
enemy advance. The British big guns
will become dCubly useful there.
