Bill of Exceptions
Presented to Court

T. NJ Stuart of Denver. attorney for
the Denver Rio Grande Railroad
company, Clarence n. Hawkins of
Denver. attorney for the plaintiff, and
Delbert A. Hessick of Florence. also
attorney for the plaintiff. were in
Canon City on Wednesday in connec-
tion with the presentation by the de-
fendant of a bill of exceptions to
Judge Cooper to be used as a basis
for an appeal to the supreme court
for rehearing OF the personal injur-
les suit of Florence Mckenzie OF
Rockvale against the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company. This case
was heard before Judge Cooper in
November of last year and verdict
rendered by the jury in favor OF the
plaintiff in the sum of $3.50 and
costs of proceeding. A motion for
new trial was overruled by Judge
Cooper on February 8. 1915 and the
defendant was given ninety days in
which to prepare its bill of exceptions
to the rulings of the court, prelimi-
nary to an appeal
At 8 o'clock Wednesday night. aft
er argument had been made on the
matter in controversy. Judge Cooper
signed the bill of exceptions permit
ting the case to be taken to the high
er tribunal. The principal matter
at issue was the fact that the de-
Tense had permitted the proposition
to lapse by running over the time des-
ignated by the court for presenting
the bill OF exceptions. The excuse OF
fered by the railroad company was
that Mr.. Stuart. its attorney. who had
charge OF the matter. had been en-
gagged In a lawsuit for his client In
Minneapolis for month and was un-
able to attend TO IL within the pre-
scribed limit.
Suit in this case was brot against
the railroad company by Miss McKen-
.ic for $50 900 damages for personal
injuries sustained In an accident
while crossing the railroad tracks in
Florence on November 20. 1915: due.
the plaintiff alleges. to the negligence
OF the defendant company. Miss Nc
Kenzie and party Of friends were
endeavoring to cross the railroad
tracks In an automobile when the loco

WATCH SMALL CUTS ON TIRES
slf Filled With Rubber Gum They VIII
Be Prevented From Developing
Blowout Avoided.

1t is an opportune time for automc-
bile tires to receive thorough inspec-
ton, so that their full mileage may
be obtained without interruption.
"Watch for the small CUTS" advises
the service manager Of a big rubber
company. "Spot them when they are
small and harmless. If they are then
filled with a good quality of gum rub
Der they will be prevented from de-
yeloping to the stage where positive
injury to tread and fabric would re-
suit.
"Sand and gravel eat their way rap
idly into the heart of tire. Upon
reaching the fabric, real trouble for
the motorist quickly develops and a
blowout Is inevitable sooner or later.
Plugging up a small cut is a very SIM
pie matter, requiring only moment Of
time, yet it is sure to save many a
disappointment and many a dollar Of
tire value to the man who watches
out"

powerless. Millions of our people
are now toiling on the farms, in the
factories and in the shipyards to
produce the cargoes and the carriers
to be sent across the Atlantic. This
is the great work that must be car
ried on by the army that stays at
home-the army Of the workers.
The work that one man does here
at home may seem to him very small,
too small to be measured on the bat
tie front, but it is only through the
toll of individual workers, each do
ing his part, that the big job can be
done. Take the building of cargo
ships, for example. In q shipyard
the individual workers output is less
than a ton Of shipping in fort
night, but $4,000 men in a big yard
will turn out in a year a million tons,
or great fleet Of 125 S,000-ton ships.
So it is with savings. Each one of
us must save In order to produce the
great savings the nation must have.
The purchase of a 25-cent govern
ment thrift stamp seems very small
thing when we read that the war is
costing us $30,000,000 or $40,000,000 a
day. But every thrift stamp will pay
for driving six rivets in q ship, and
two United States War Savings cer-
tlfcates carrying 40 S. stamps (now
costing $166.40) will build a ton of
shipping.
On all sides are countless evidences
that men, women and children are
eager to serve the country and the
world in this hour Of supreme peril.
And our people are serving nobly,
but there is still much to be done,
which it is easily within the power
of most of us to help to do. The
campaign for the conservation of
food has met with a considerable de-
gree Of success, but we are not yet
appreciative of what it means to deny
ourselves sharply in order that those
on the fighting line and those who
have suffered indescribably while we
have been safe and comfortable shall
have enough to meet their needs.

WORKERS RUSHED TO JOBS
United States Employment Service
Makes Record When Called Upon
to Secure Laborers.

The war department recently asked
the District of Columbia Office of the
United States employment service to
supply Immediately 800 laborers for
cantonment work at Camp Humphrey,
Belvoir, Va.
The district Office found no surplus
of the kind of workers needed in or
near Washington, so it wired the em-
ployment service offices in other cities
within several hundred miles to see
if any of these cities had SURPRISES.
One city, more than 200 miles dis
tant, replied that it had, and through
that Office and the Washington office
the men were recruited, rushed to Bel
voir on special cars via Washington
and put to work, all within "a hours.
This is but one of many instances of
the prompt and intelligent manner in
which the United States employment
service is supplying labor for the gov
eminent departments and private ems
ployers with war contracts.

NATIONS CALL INCLUDES ALL
Every One Must Do His or Her Part

Battle Front-Four Things
Vital to Victory.
BY JOHN MITCHELL,
Chairman of the New York State
Industrial Commission.

Mr.. Mitchell was formerly president Of
the United Mine Workers and led the
strike of 1902. He was appointed by Pres
ident Roosevelt a member Of the anthra-
cite coal strike commission and later was
made chairman of the New York state in
dustrial commission. He is now serving
as food commissioner of New York.
1t is wonderful opportunity for
service in defense of human rights
DOW presented to the wage earners of
America. We hear it said that food
will win the war, that ships will win
the war, that men and munitions will
win the war. Men, munitions, food,
and ships are all absolutely vital to
victory-but we can reduce it all to
one thing when we say that work
will win the war.
To put the strength of our great ma

to back up the men who have been
called to the cOlors and who are now

In these days Of drastic headlight

method Of frosting bulbs and lenses, a
method Of eliminating the glare from

The following formula is used for

this the bulb or lens is dipped. TO a
mixture Of "a ounces of ether and 10
ounces Of benzine, add "a ounces of

the needed ingredients.
IL it is desired to produce colored
light, coloring matter may be added
to the solution. If the surface to be
frosted is large and fiat the solution
may be applied with brush, but this
usually produces a streaked surface.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month Of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work, and
every acre that could be probably
sown was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for careful preparation, and as a
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly in
creased yield. They realized it was a
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
in dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the list of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture In the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been SO heavy, however, as to
Interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read
lily, and on many fields the young green
blades Of the cereal are already show
Ing.
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada will reap
a record harvest. If the season from
now on is as favorable as 1t has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr..
]. D. McGregor of the Federal Food
Board, who Is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed few days ago at Calgary that crop
conditions throughout the Prairie
Provinces were excellent. Speaking
generally" he said, "the crops have
never gone into the ground in better
shape than this year, and with an
even break of luck as far as the wealth
er is concerned, there should be an
enormous crop" His present duties in
connection with the Food Control
Board, taking him in all parts of the
West, Mr.. McGregor has exceptional
opportunities of observing conditions
all over the country. ADVERTISEMENT

TROUBLE CAUSED
BY POOR BATTERY
Much Satisfaction to Car Owner
to Know lust Why His
Starter Won't Work.
HYDROMETER USED FOR TEST
In Stopping Car Frequently Large
Amount of Current Is Being Used
for Cranking Engine-Re-
charge Battery at Once.

When you go out to your garage In
the morning and find that for some
reason or other your starter won't
work, it gives you lot of satisfac-
ton to know exactly what the trouble
is, although you may not be able your
self to remedy it.
If you find that your battery has
not energy enough to turn over the
starting motor, the first thing you
do, naturally, is to test it with your
hydrometer. Nine times out of ten
you will find that the trouble Isl
starving. The hydrometer will in
fallibly uncover this condition, for In
stead of registering 1890 to 1900, as
1t would if the battery were fully
charged, it will register below 1900.
What Causes Trouble.
All right. You've discovered that
your battery is starved, But going
back a step farther, "What causes
it to be starved? How did it come
about that the battery which ism,
fsupp1y YOU wttfI energy AIN q
for starting and lighting gets into 81
condition that it has not power
enough for either one Of these
| things?"
How are you running your carr
If you are running it in the city,
short distances, stopping frequently,
you are using large amount of cur
rent for cranking the engine without
giving the generator chance to re-
store to the battery power enough to
offset this drain.
While it Is impossible to state just
how much the car should be run to
keep the battery in a fully charged
condition, this much can be said I:
Every time you crank your engine the
battery for a few moments is put
ting forth two horse power Of en-
ergy.
Battery Wears Out.
Very obviously if it is called upon
to do this long at time or at too
frequent intervals, it is not going to
be long before the battery is exhaust
ed. If, however, the machine is run
a considerable distance at q fair rate
Of speed, say from Is to 20 miles per
hour, the generator gets chance to
restore energy to the battery and the
dangers Of starving are reduced in that
proportion. "a
Some days, perhaps, In testing
your battery you find one cell or two
cells show the normal reading, but
the third shows a very low reading.
This can only be interpreted in one
way, the entire battery is in poor con-
dition. Tho fact that two cells show
higher reading than the third is
merely accidental The fact at the
bottom of the whole thing is this /:
The measure Of energy In the dis
charged cell is very probably the
measure of energy of the whole bat
terry. In such case the battery
should be recharged at once at the
battery service station.

FOR REPLACING TIRE TUBES
Essential That Liberal Use Be Made
OF Tale or French Chalk by Us

When replacing tire tubes 1t is es-
sential that tale or French chalk
should be thoroughly distributed over
