trenches with their men, with water some

The lieutenant and his comrades. after

mill, some miles west Of Nighthawk,
and all the authorities had to do to
have possession of the same was to dis
mantle the crusher and move it to
town. But moving that heavy piece of
machinery has been some job. The
crusher was some distance up on the
mountain side, and false work had to
be built in order to handle it. And it
was not so easily handled even then.
Marshal Wilson and Clerk Hoose put
in many strenuous hours getting the
crusher down where it could be loaded
into wagons and conveyed to the rail-
road, but the crusher is expected to be
in position to eat rock in a short time.
although by the time it is ready for
operation it will have cost the town
quite pretty penny.

Ellis, Jr., has sold to w. B. Ramsey

materials to cut grease.
Stop all gasoline leakages. Form

6-Adjust brake bands so they do not

Don't let the engine run when the
car is standing. 1t is good for the star
ter battery to be used frequently.
Slave carburetors adjusted at SER

9-Keep needle valve clean and adj
just carburetor (while engine is hot

wasteful.
10-Pre-heat air entering carburetor
and keep radiator covered in cold
weather-this will insure better vapor-
ization.
11-See that spark is timed correctly
with engine and drive with spark fully
advanced-a late spark increases gas
consumption.

miles an hour.
14-Don't accelerate and stop quick

There is no romance left In war: it

We have descended in a war of

control as he was tls~ volcanoes which
overwhelmed Pompeii or st. Pierre.
II Is not alone in the forefront of the
battle where men stand face to face,
but in quiet places far back, where
death filings himself with outrageous
violence and suddenness. The dead
