Don't rely on eleventh hour repair service this
year. Overhaul machines and order repair parts q
long time in advance of the you expect to
the machines. Freight and express shipments move
slowly now, and because of increasing movements of
troops and Government supplies, they are likely to
move slower in the future.
Everything possible is being done by manufactur-
and the Government to assure the farmer of am
pie repair parts Nevertheless, he should take steps
to avoid inevitable delays by planning ahead If he
waits until the minute he needs them before ordering,
it may be impossible to get repair parts to him In
time.
Order repair parts now even If you do not expect
to them for several months That is the only way
to be and safe against the loss that you al
most certain to suffer if you delay until the last
minute. ....... s.- gstfg|s r3ssStNf

Farrel Wants
Water Direct
From District
-W.S.S.-

A case which is of great inter-
est to every water user in the
Valley is now before Judge ThOm-
as of Orange county. 1t is the
suit of G. d. Farrell against the
Irrigation District to compel the
District to serve him water from
the West High Line canal, which
the District formerly owned. 1t
is stated that a deed to the ditch
and rights of way was rec 7tly
vilde to No. II company, and tnat
company refused to accept it.
Farrell claims that, as the Dis
trict sells water to the mutual
companies and to the City of Holt
vile, it should sell to him direct,
At so cents an acre-fOOt. The Dis
,r,ct contends that it does not re-
ta'! water, but only WHOLESALERS it.
All the District directors were
present at the session of court.

ARTILLERY DUEL
ON us. FRONT
-W.S.S.-

With the American Army in
France, June 3.-After long inactiv-
ity, an artillery duel broke out this
morning northwest of Toul. 1t last
ed several hours, both American and
German batteries letting loose every
thing they had. The Germans used
much gas and high explosives. The
terrific roar of the explosives grad
ually diminished until noon, when
quiet reigned again.
No infantry action developed.
Sky Battle Lasts for Fifteen Minutes
One of the American patrol flights
was intercepted and attacked. For
fifteen minutes the machine guns
ratified and many soldiers on the
ground stood and watched the ma
neuvers of the aircraft. They saw
one enemy aircraft leave the forma-
ton and an American chaser pounce
upon it. Both aviators were firing.
The American machine was hit twice,
but was not damaged. The Ameri-
can pilot is certain that he hit the
German, who then started to retreat.
