LEARN TO READ
YOUR ELECTRIC METER

The ordinary electric meter used in
the household is arranged with four
dials graduated into ten parts desig-
mated to read in kilowatts per hour.
Beginning with the right hand dial as
you face the meter, each dial hand
moves one-tenth as fast as the pre-
ceeding as you go to thhe left. When
the hand of the right hand dial has
made one revolution ten kilowatts of
power has been used. and the next
hand to the left will record at "1".
When this hand has made one revolu-
tion 100 kilowatts of power has been
used and the next hand will record
"1' and SO on for the full set of dials.
In taking the reading always read
the smaller number next to the hand
if it is between two, then beginning
with the left hand dial read the num-
Der with its unit designated above
the dial and write down the number
Thus suppose the left hand dial hand
is between 3 and 4, the next to the
right at 9, the next between 2 and 8,
and the right hand dial hand between
c and z, then the reading will be 1927
kilowatts.
Note. If the units on the dials arc
different from the above, it will be
marked upon the dials.).

The speakers before hoti. bureaus
gave the business man vivid impress
sion of the success of the Nonparti-
san league propaganda. Mr.. Mckee
stated that the league today has ap-
proxinately 10000 members who
have paid sixteen dollars apiece; that
probably $50 organizers are at work.
and from the best information avail
able, the membership of the organiza-
tion is growing at the rate of fully
four or five thousand a week.

tion. This pernicious influence is

TWO MECHANICS
ADDED TO FORCE
OF J. M. COMPANY

The Julesburg Motor Company have
just added to its force of workmen,
two first-class mechanics. One of
them is specialist on Ford; ears,
whose experience and training have
especially fitted him for work on that
popular car. His whole time will be
given to that work and the drivers of
Ford cars can feel sure that their
cars will get the best of attention.
The other new man is a mechanic of
many years experience on all makes
of cars and most of his time will be
given to the larger cars. Even with
the addition of these two men the
work has been coming into the shop
faster than it can be cared for and
the company is expecting another
skilled mechanic to take his place on
the force during the coming week.
With the special Battery Repair
room and the special Vulcanizing
room in addition to the general shop,
The Julesburg Motor Company force
is surely busy. The boys in the diff
ferent lines are certainly interested
in their work and one cannot watch
them long without feeling that they
are determined to give to their pa
irons the best there is in them. With
that spirit dominating its workmen,
the owners of automobiles can sure
ly intrust their work to the JMesburg
Motor Co. with every feeling Of con-
fidence.

CLAIMS APRIL 26
AS LIBERTY DAY
CITIZENS URGED TO ASSEM-
BILE AND PLEDGE ANEW
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
All Public Schools and Business
Houses are Requested to
Close Doors on Afternoon
of April 26. 1918

President Wilson has proclaimed
Friday, April 26, 1918, Liberty Day, to
be observed as publis holiday in
fyrtherance of the Third Liberty Loan.
The proclamation follows:
An enemy who has grossly abused
the power of organized government
and who seeks to dominate the world
by the might of the sword, challenges
the rights of America and the liberty
and life of all the free nations Of the
earth. Our brave sons are facing the
fire of battle in defense of the honor
and rights of America and the liberty,
Of nations. To sustain them and to
assist our gallant associates in the
war, generous and patriotic people
have been called upon to subscribe to
the Liberty Loan.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States Of
America, do appoint Friday, the twen-
ty-sixth day of April, One Thousand
Nine Hondred and Sixteen, as Liberty
Day. On the afternoon of that day
| request the people of the United
States to assemble in their respective
communities and literally pledge anew
their financial support to sustain the
Nations cause. Patriotic demonstra.
tions should be held in every city,
town and hamlet throughout the land
under the general direction of tho
Secretary of the Treasury and the i'm
mediate direction of the Liberty Loan
committees organized by the federal
reserve banks. Let the Nations re-
sponse to the third Liberty Loan ex-
press in unmistakable terms the de-
termination of America to fight for
peace, the permanent peace of JUS
tice.
For the purpose of participating in
Liberty Day celebrations, all employ
ees Of the Federal Government thru
out the country, whose services can
be spared, may be excused at IL
o'clock noon, Friday, the twenty sixth
of April
In witness whereofI have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia,
this eighteenth day Of April, in the
year of Our Lord, One Thousand Min,
Hundred and Eighteen. and of the In
dependence of the United States of
America one hundred and forty
second.
