Heat Off In Summer.

In warm weather, when efficient car
buretion often ceases to be problem,
the heat can be shut off by turning
butterfly valve located at the exhaust
connection of the manifold jacket. In
addition there is another butterfly
valve at the connection of the car
buretor exhaust jacket, which is.linled
to the throttle valve and automatically
shuts off the heat when the throttle is
wide open.

COLORED MEN NO SLACKERS

We read in the Associated Press dis
patches in one of the daily papers last week,
from Mississippi, and probably you read it
also. that German prOpagandists were using
money in Holmes County, Miss, to influence
colored men to resist the selectve draft In
other words. to become sackers And that
the efforts of these Germans and their SYM
pathizers had been successful. The man
who claimed to have made this startling dis
cOvery was government inspector by the
name of Ethridge The telegram further
stated that Inspector Ethridge charged that
colOred preacher, pastor of the Church Of
God in Christ. was the ring leader of the
conspiracy. he being in the employ of the
Germans. and that his sermons teemed with
praise of the Germans and abuse for the
whites of this country. just think of an
occurrence like that in state where they
lynch and burn colored men and women for
simply talking back to white people. and
then allowing preacher and his followers
to abuse and curse the government as
charged by Inspector Ethrdge. without any
lynchings or burnings Inspector Ethridges
tale, it seems, is without truth or founda-
ton. and his main object in circulating
such a tale was to stir up a race riot which
he hoped would result in a wholesale lynch
ing and burning of colored people. The
fact that his story preposterous and
absurd. no particular attention was paid to
thence it fell fiat, and Inspector Ethridge,
we learn since. has been recalled to Wash
ingtOn. We expect soon to hear of him
looking for another job.-Portland Advo-
