G.fFo. p. TO ELECT
MANN SPEAKER

Washington, Feb. 25.-Republican
leaders of the house are planning a
"round-up" here on March S of mem
bers of their party elected to the next
congress, to discuss the speakership and
other organization questions.
The idea will be submitted to the or
ganization committee of twenty-seven
tomorrow night and if it is approved
invitations will be issued at once to nc
members of the present house and A.
incoming members.
Opinion is general among Republican
leaders that Representative Mann will
be nominated for speaker without oppo,
sition and that Representative Lenroo.
of Wisconsin will be named floor leada,
If Mann is elected.
Who will be floor leader if Mr.. Mann
should fail of election is receiving little
consideration and no discussion.
With both regulars and progressive
Republicans anxious to restore peace in
tnelr ranks, they are not going beyon
the possibilities of victory.
A steering committee to advise with
the floor leader and keep him in touch
with the sentiment Of the entire Re.
publican side is being strongly urged
by progressive Republicans.
One of the chief complaints the pro-
gressively inclined members have made
at the present session is that Repro.
sentative aMnn has not consulted the
wishes of the Republican membership
in regard to pending legislation.
Rumors of trades for the independent
vote, involving both senate and house
leaders, are numerous.
Many different plans are being laid,
It is said, for capturing the independ-
ents by promises Of the passage Of pct
legislation.

AUTO OWNERS

Posted in the service station of a
local distributor is list of typewritten
"don It's" which every new buyer of a
motor car is asked to read. The OBJ
servance of these "don u.s." it is said,
will ward off fully 80 per cent of the
everyday troubles of motoring, which
are caused by the carelessness of own
ers. Here are some of the "don It's -
offered:
not drawing the car. There is no worse
abuse.
Don't neglect to keep the radiator
filled with clean water. Always use a
good anti-freeze alcohol ol-and-water mix
ture for cold weather. This should be
at least 25 per cent alcohol-wood Or
denatured.
Don't fail to inspect the level on the
liquid in your storage batteries every
ten days.
Don't let your car stand with the
headlights full on. It is unnecessar y
and runs your battery down.
Don't neglect your fabrication.
Don't try to save by buying cheap
engine oil. The best is none too good.
Don't drive fast around turns or over
rough roals.
Don't attempt to shift into reverse
gear when you are going ahead, even if
your clutch is out. Wait until you have
come to stop.
Don't allow your clutch to engage
suddenly.
Don't drive with your spark fully
retarded. Your engine will lack power
if you do, and probably overhead in the
bargain.
Don't apply your brakes suddenly
except in cases Of emergency.

MICHAEL: THE DOG THAT

. dog named Michael, larger, stronger,
more intelligent than the others and Of
a gentle nature that made him a gen.
eral favorite. Michael, although most
"sociable," centered his particular af'
fections upon a young French soldier
named Henri. Every day at the soup
honr Michael would appear carrying q
tin can and place it beside Henri, who
would fill it Is he did his own, and
they would dine together.
J The day came, however, when Henri
failed to return, and as the men stum-
bled back again to safety Michael
scanned, with anxious eyes, each pale,
haggard face, his sensitive nostrils
quivering with dread.
When the last man had been account

animal darted toward the battle field
and after some time returned, greatly
excited and carrying an old half-glove
which belonged to his friend. He could
scarcely wait for the attendants to

In remote part of the field they
found the young fellow lying still and

TELEPHONE MEN UNCOVER
DEN OF SNAKES NEAR READ

While engaged in digging hole in
the ground for pole to fasten a guy
wire to near the river in the Read
neighborhood, James Mann and viii
Seicrest, trouble men for the Mountain
States Telephone company, on Wedncs-
day dug into den of snakes the like
of which was never known before.
At the point where the excavation
was made was washed out place by
the river that had been filled in with
boulders and drift wood and covered
over with earth.
The reptiles were of the variety com
monty known in this section as water
snakes, and those killed measured from
ten to twenty.four inches in length.
The boys killed forty-five and took
them out Of the excavation and from
what they could see down in the den
there were at least twenty to thirty
more live ones which they left for seed.
There were tiny baby snakes, young
snakes, father and mother snakes,
grand and great grandmother and
grandfather snakes galore. If this was
not "bone-dry" territory the story
might bear investigation, but under the
conditions and knowing these boys to
be perfectly truthful (the Telephone
company don't keep any other kindly
