this brighter? Also. after washing the
car is always spotted in appearance

Ford cars. Bulbs arc not sold ac-

by so doing you will have a better

Q. What is the right thing to do
when the casing or shoe of the tire

A. IT the cut Is not so large that it

should be so filled. If IL Is a deep

The bouncing of the car seems to

not help any. Can you suggest what
could be the cause of this? H. II. O.
A. The trouble Is probably in the
socket for the bulb The spring which
presses out the contact pieces may be
broken. Dirt or rust may have got
between the side OF the socket and

of the current to the ground.

The Way IL Looked,

Shortly after new administration
took over a well-known western rail-
way a great number of claims were
preferred against the company on ac-
count of horses and cattle being
killed along the line in Texas. Not
only that, but 1t appeared that every
animal killed invariably figured in the
claims presented as being of the best
blood in Texas
The claims finally became so nu-
merous and the majority so unreason-
able, that one day the president of the
road became much excited while dis
cussing the situation with one of the
road attorneys.
DO you know" he exclaimed,
bringing down her fist on the desk by
way of emphasis, IL have reached the
conclusion that nothing in Texas so
improves live stock as crossing IL with
a locomotive. ."-Everybody's.

Military Prisoners.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 20.-The gov
eminent took action in the Industrial
Workers of the World situation, when

here on the eve of a threatened strike
in four states.
The strike call, signed by Rowan,
included all members of the organiza-
ton in construction and agricultural
work in Montana, Washington, Ore
gon II Idaho. Rowan, after his ar
rest, said that the arrest would in
tensify the strike and cause 1t to
spread. Lumber workers in the four
states already are on strike.

A Good Comeback.

Tom Moore, the poet, was the son
of q Dublin grocer. Without any push
ing on his part his genius and his un-
affected manner made him a welcome
guest everywhere. All London went
mad over him. On M occasion at a
banquet he had mad some brilliant
witticisms. A snob, thinking to humil-
late him, leaned over the table to the
poet and quite audibly said, in a drawl-
ing tone:
"Pway, sir, wasn't yuor father a
grossah?"
Moore smilingly replied that he was.
"Then, pway," continued the snob,
"why didn't he make a grossah of
your
Moore quite affably retorted,
wasn't your father a gentleman"
"Of course he was" was the rejoin-
der.
"Then why" Queried Moore, didn't
he make n gentleman of you?"

Observation-Disclosures that the
government is preparing to take on
troll of the coal industry were strength
ened when President Wilson paid a
visit to the Federal Trade Commits
sion and went over with its members
estimates of coal production costs and
recommendations for dealing with the
situation completed by the commits
sion after months Of investigation.
Definite action to reduce prices to the
and to bring about a better
distribution, it was learned, will be
taken.
Before going to the Trade Commits
sion the President called on Herbert
Hoover, named to administer the food
act, in which are provisions for con-
troll of coal; Attorney General Greg
ory and Judge Robert S. Lovett, OF
the War Industries Board, who, it is
understood will be given powers vest
ed in the executive in a recent law
governing priority of railroad ship
ment
The President is deeply concerned
over the coal situation. wen repre-
sentatives of the operators admit that
parts of the country face a shortage
this winter, and from the public COM
plants are pouring in that prices are
out of all reason. The fact that sew
eral governors are threatening to
take over the industry in their states
is prompting early federal action.
Three courses are open to the Pres,
ident. Under the food bill he may fix
prices at the mines and to consumers,
or he may direct some government
agency to requisition the output of all
mines, selling it to the public. The
third course would contemplate a vol
untary agreement by operators to sell
at a fair price, with the government
directing distribution.

FATE.

(By Mary o. Carey, Talent, Ore.)
Were you born with high ambition,
That you simply could not still?
Has fate always been against you,
Always halting your every will?
When your hopes are running high
est,
When you see your goal in sight,
When you are oh! SO eager,
Something halts you-stops your
flight.
Then your heart is sad and heavy,
|. And you grope for some way
round,
That your dear cherished ambition
In some other way be found.
How you long to scale the ladder,
Foil the fates that block your way,
Till the dream of your ambitions
In success shine bright as day.
Then you ask, docs God in heaven
Frown upon my sinful ways?"
Or is it only fate against me
Following through all my days?
