chain should first be soaked in a bath of kerosene and then be brushed with stiff brush to get off all dirt and grit. After cleaning. the chain should be dried and then washed in hot water to which a little washing soda has been added. Next the chain should be sub merged in a bath of moderately heavy lubricating oil and allowed to remain until the lubricant has reached every cranny of the bearing surface. It is a good idea to have this oil warmed through before immersing the chain in it, as this thins it a little and permits it more readily to reach hidden sur faces.

FhE NOTICES IF INTENTION ED|CT
 IF LAND OFFICE

From the fact that many prospectors are withholding the filing of notices of their intention to hold mining claims, 1t should be called to their attention that the last date on which these mo- tices can be filed is December 3l, 1917, according to an announcement macs by the Arizona State Bureau of Mines This is different from the recording of assessment work, for assessment work may be filed and recorded on or before March 90 of the year following that for which the assessment work is being lone.
 Thus it has become habit with many prospectors 10 file along in Jan uary and February record of the as sessment work for tho previous year. but this should not be done with the notices of intention to hold claim.
 Attention should also be called to the fact that if any assessment work Is
Arizona republican., 1917-12-30

done, records should be made of as- sessment work, rather than under the law of intention to hold, because filing under the new law does not advance the claims towards patenting, and re- corded assessment work is one of the best evidences of having done suffi- cient work for patenting.
 Relative to the new law, the Hon. Carl Hayden has received letter from Clay Tallman, commissioner of the United States general land office, the contents of which are very important in Arizona. Mir. Tallman says:
 Tn my opinion if the claimant file such notice in the office where his To- cation certiflcte is recorded, he has complied with the act. But, if he file and record the notice, he would have record proof of the fact of his con- pliance with the act, which might be of service to him in case the question of whether or not such notice had been filed should arise in a proceeding in- volving his claim to the land. You will note that proofs of annual labor are made pursuant to state statute, the Arizona statute, and probably that oi most other states. providing that tho claimant may make and record a cer- tificate. etc. and that the record there of shall be prima facie proof that thu annual labor was performed"

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

A great many car owners make the mistake of adjusting the carburetor when the engine is cold. Now it is always best to make adjustments to the motor after it has been run for long enough to get thoroughly warmed through and this applies equally to the valve tappets, etc. It is quite probable that the cold motor may operate very well on certain adjust ments that will not agree at all with the hot engine

INGENIOUS FOOT REST

Few veterans drivers ned to be told how much comfort results from the in stallation of a foot rest just behind the accelerator pedal, so that the arch of the foot is supported. Not only does this prevent leg strain but it actually makes for more delicately responsive control of the accelerating function. An admirable foot rest of this kind may be made by cutting through a section of d Wornout tire and fastening it to tha, floor boards with small screws, driven through the beads,

and was heard by a large number of

have been the way the jury looked at
the case.

the charge Of assault and battery with
intent to kill and was acquitted by
the jury.
The case against Alex. Wilson,
privily stealing from the person, was

Editor Daily Item:
Mr.. John u. White will speak i'm
the Court House on Thursday night.
February %, at $50 o'clock on
single tax. Mr.. White is sent out by
the Henry George Lecture Associa-
ton of Chicago and is reputed to be
charming and instructive speaker
Through the courtesy and interest
OF Mrs. Henry Martin of Columbia I
have been able to get Mr.. White to
cal..e to Sumter. He comes here
under the auspices Of the Equal Suf-
frage League and there will be no ad
mission fee.
Mr.. White is not going to speak on
equal suffrage. The Equal Suffrage
League hopes occasionally to be able
to bring speakers here to discuss the
pertinent topics of the day, and single
tax is certainly an interesting subject.
Considerable thought has been given
this question in the past twenty five
years and it is gaining many ad-
herents.
Undoubtedly Mr.. White can give rs
much helpful information on the
subject Of taxation and the Equal
Suqrage League hopes that the tax
payers will hear him. An especial
invitation is extended to the members
of City Council and the County Com
missiOners to be present.
