This information comes direct from
the regiment, which has numerous
Knights of Columbus nearly all West

have sent letter to the supreme Sec
retary of the Knights of Columbus,
who has sent copies to each of the
supreme officers. The communication
was sent to declare that the writer's

I. B. LINDSTROM
 ID BE AVIATOR

Among the many Salt River Valley young men who enlisted in various branches of the service the past week is Francis B. Lindstrom, who on MOn- day night left for San Francisco, there to become identified with the aviation corps Word has been received that he passed the examination success fully and that he will remain in that city until some time during the coming week, when he will be transferred to a point not yet named
 Mir. Lindstrom has lived in this valley many years and enjoys g. wide acquaintance. He was formerly part owner and manager Of Lindstrom' s Dairy Depot on North First street and more recently has been superintendent of the testing department of the Farmers Cooperative Creamery, re- signing that position shortly before his enlistment. He has been active in the work of the Phoenix homestead of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, lplding offices of trust and at the time of his departure was serving the second term as overseer.
 At the time of Americas entry into the war MT. Lindstrom desired to enlist, but delayed in order that he might so arrange his personal affairs as to permit of his leaving for long period This having been done to his satisfaction he immediately offered himself to his country.
 His hundreds of friends, while re- gretting the necessity of his departure from Phoenix, cheered him on his way, sure that he will prove himself a valuable man to Uncle Sam's fighting forces.

HUPP MOTOR CA2
 PEOPLE PREPARED
 ID DO ITS SHARE

Considering the nations industrial situation, it would seem that aft no lime were we better equipped than now for the conduct of our part in a world war;" according to the view eX- pressed by c. D. Hastings, general manager of the Hupp Motor Car cor Doration.
 For the purpose of contrast. visual ze the factory and transportation fa- cilities of the United States ten years ago, and compared them with our pres snt manufacturing capacity and rail road facilities. The steel industry has advanced by leaps and bounds in the asst ten years. The railroads have in- vested millions of dollars in new mile age and new equipment. The auto mobile industry has sprung into full flower, and is now the third largest industry in the United States.
 Consider for example, the work of Inc motor car industry in the conduct of the war. Motor car manufacturers were among the first, if not the very .rst to offer their facilities to the government. Many or them had already furnished cars-passenger and freight to the governments of Europe. They were already engaged in war work Others were willing and ready at HpHltlll uOllCe, l0 take up IUelf part of the work. Preparation for the tre- nendous task before us must needs nave been slow and toilsome without Inc vast facilities of the automobile in iustry to fall back ou
 Tt would be difficult, perhaps, to name motor car factory that is not sngaged today in war work. Some are building airplane engines; some are building gun parts; some are building passenger automobiles; some trucks Almost over night factories have been made over, in part or in whole, to give 'he government the benefit of the best hat is in them.
 "I do not for a minute mean that the automobile industry has done or is loing moro than it's share. I do want o make plain the fact that the aver tge manufacturer of motor cars has willingly turned his plant upside down, f necessary, to produce war materials or his nations need
 Meanwhile the industry is carrying n the production of passenger auto mobiles. Dealers who have invested heir capital and their business experi- ince are solid behind the manufac- urer. and the public is able to buy the automobiles for which t has real need a it's daily life.'

BEWARE IF TIRE
 SHOWING FABRIC

Tires that are worn down so that he fabric is exposed are near their md of service,' says $. J. Bucking- iam. local distributor for the Gates dalf- Sole tire, because when water legins to soak into the fabric it will oon rot away.
 When tire is worn down to the abric it is no sign that it should be brown away" adds Buckingham, "be- ause in almost every instance there still anywhere from 10000 to 15,000 nore miles left in the tire if it is ared for properly. In these days of conservation We have to take these hings seriously"
 The adjustment of tho Gates half nlo tire is an important factor in he service obtained from it, it is said, nd in support of this theory factory representatives are frequently sent to ocal distributing points to give in- tructions. B. S. Light, superintendent f service for the company said ecently:
 These tires, which are entirely diff erent from anything heretofore used. lsIe neither vulcanized on nor sewed n. There has been such a demand for his product, according to the com any's officials, that carload shipments ave been coming in regularly and a arge force of men have had tO be dded 10 the shop force to handle the increased business.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
 DUE TO ' FUND

The first payment of subscriptions to the Y. M C. A. war fund was due yes terday and the money .s badly needed 10 meet the urgent demands for the relief of the American troops in France. IL is therefore especially urged that tNose who have not yet made the first payment do so at once
 Checks in payment should be sent to Fl. F. Christie, treasurer of the Y. NJ. c. A. war fund at Fl Paso, Tex. It will cost no more to make payment now than it will month later but it will make a mighty difference to the boys at the front

Lecturer or Instructor
for Lobster Fishermen

Representative Claes E. Boman of
Vinalhaven, who is much interested in
the welfare Of our Maine lobster fish
ermen, thinks it would be a profitable
investment for the State and produc-
tive Of great and lasting benefit to
the fishermen for the sea and shore
fisheries department to send among
the fishermen q lecturer or instructor,
who would hold meetings and explain
to them the benefits Of lobster protec-
tive legislation. Mr.. Boman said in
relation to that idea:
1.-THE reason that lobster protective
laws are not better observed is in
many instances because the fishermen
cannot understand the benefit which
the industry and consequently the
fishermen themselves derives from
such laws" says Mr.. Boman. "All
this talk about inability to enforce a
10s inch lobster law because other
New England states have a nine-inch
law will not be necessary if the fish,
ermen can be thoroughly convinced
that such a law Is for their benefit.
The reason that many Of the fishermen
are urging the repeal of the lobster
license law is because they cannot
see how it Is for their benefit.
IF the fishermen were educated as
to the advantages Of not catching the
smaller Holsters just as orchardists
and farmers are taught the benefit of
regulation by instructors and by
demonstration there would not be need
for half SO much warden service.
Care would have to be exercised in
sending out men Of tact and intelli-
gence as well as those thoroughly ia
miliar with the lobster industry to
explain to the fishermen the benefit of
lobster protective measures but with
the right kind Of men a liberal appro-
priation for that purpose to be ex-
pended under the supervision Of the
sea and shore fisheries commissioner
would In time greatly lessen the ex-
pense for wardens and secure better
enforcement Of our lobster laws"

morning were somewhat eniivened by

printed card from his desk which bore
an inscription regarding the expediting
of business. signed by President Bailey
and Speaker Bonney, Mr.. Sisson con-
tinued to the effect that IL anything
could he done TO help rush along the
business he would IKE to see it and
would even he glad to furnish n shovel
10 help the good cause.
Speaker Bonney explained that a
mistake had been made in the wording
of the cards and they were being re-
called as rapidly as possible and the
matter would again be taken up. The
message conveyed by the cards was as
follows:
in order TO facilitate and expedite
business. and to have a uniform rule in
regard TO amendments the President of
the Senate and the Speaker Of the
House Will. entertain no amendments
20 any bill or resolve until the same
has been read twice in the Senate and
three times in the House. In previous
years there has been no uniform pro-
lection in this matter and it Is be-
lleved the above will save time and
prevent confusion"
The important action included the
amending the order relative to the
Highway Commission filing with the
Legislature statement of its ex-
penditures 10y adding the words 1.-THE
Senate concurring": referring the
Horseshoers bill TO the legal affairs
committee. with a statement by Repre-
