RED CROSS DRIVE
CLOSED TUESDAY
THE SEVERAL COMMITTEES IN
CHARGE REPORT EXCELLENT
+. RESULTS CONSIDERING
CONDITIONS.

| Mrs. Peter Schaefer, in charge Of
the Red Cross Roll Call reports that
the people of the city and vicinity
are coming to the aid of this noble
organization by enrolling as mem
bers in a very satisfactory manner
considering the strike and other con-
ditions with which we have been af-
fected for some time.
Last years roll call was handled
by the War Wark Fund and. a drive
was unnecessary. Dues were paid
by the executive committee of the
War Work Fund for every member
on the list and almost every man and
woman in the city was enrolled. The
close of the war and the lethargy fol-
lowing on the part of many of our
citizens, the strike of last month and
several other happenings have kept
many from enrolling this year and it
is estimated that 500. names will be
the limit when all returns have been
made.
However he drive did not con-
clude the membership getting and
those who were missed or who did
not feel financially able to join dur
ing the past week can yet put their
name on the rolls and their member
ships will be thankfully received.
The committees appointed by Frank
Lozar Post at the last meeting were
the best membership getters and
many. of the members are placed to
their credit. Several of the ladies of
the Red Cross also turned in excel
lent lists.
The work of the Red Cross is not
finished even if the war is over and
your dollar is needed besides your
moral support. Ask any one of the
soldier boys what they think of the
Red Cross.

On November 18th, the govern
ment will pay $2,65S,847 as interest
on war bonds to persons in the Ninth
Federal Reserve District who invest
ed in United States securities during
the crisis with Germany. 1t has been
suggested that as further aid to the
government and in direct line with
the present nation wide campaign for
thrift, that persons clipping their in
terest coupons at this time keep up
the good work by investing their in
terest money in thrift and War saw
ings Certificates. This is being done
on a wholesale scale in other parts of

TAX COMMISSION FIGURES
VERY INTERESTING--10,0o0
MORE AUTOS.

A gain of nearly $10O,OOO,OOO IN
the true and full value" of personal
property in Minnesota in one year
was reported Monday by the Min
nesota tax commission.
The full value of the states per-
sonal property is placed at $977 $780,
OS8. In 1918 it was 1881, 1897 1856.
In 1916 the figures were $715,-

is 36.7 per cent.
Among other facts shown by the

biles.
The average "full value" of an
automobile has increased $22, and is
now $442.59.
In accordance with the provisions
of the classified assessment law, prop
erty is not assessed for taxation pur-
poses at it's true and full value, but at
certain percentages thereof, depend
ing upon the class to which the law
assigns it.
The assessed value for 1919, as
equalized by the commission, is $685.
O22,452, compared to an assessed
value of $31s,26s,S69 returned to
the commission by the county board
of equalization. The increases made
by the commission aggregate $10,-
1858.
"Class /, assessed at so per cent of
the true and full value, includes
mined iron ore in stockpile and the
assessed value of this class as re-
turned by the county boards was
$2,912,477," the commissions report
said. "This was increased to &c.
827,419 by the tax commission. The
true and full value as equalized is
$13,654,838. ...,.
Property in Class 2 is assessed at
25 per cent of the true and full value
and includes household goods and

slaughter. More hunting licenses
have been issued this year than last
and with the snow now here it is ex-

Many old timers however make the
statement that few deer will be killed
this year as the snow is too deep and
the woods too noisy. However this
condition applies every year. The

IMPORTANT PART
IS ILLTREATED
Owners Should Give More Atten-
ton to Universal Joints, De-
cIares an Expert.
SHAFTS MOVING CONTINUALLY
On Account Of Location Joint is Neg.
Iected More Than Any Other Part
Of car--Eneine Is Blamed for
Difficulty.

Pity the sorrows of the poor uni.
versal Joint. Compelled to struggle on
alone, out of sight and out of mind striv-
ing to overcome friction when neglect
cd, shocked almost to the breaking
point by contact of the rear wheels,
with water bars and mud holes, wrench
ed numerically by sudden use of the
clutch-still 1t stands up under the
strain. Study its needs and attend to
them, and you will be repaid hun
dredfold, writes an expert In an ex.
change.
The purpose of n universal joint Is
to deliver power from one shaft to
another when out of line or ut u
varying angle. The forward end Is
fastened to the spine shaft In the gear
box and the rear end to the propeller
shaft going to the differentiul and
rear axle. Some manufacturers place
another universal Joint near the differ
entail The two shafts are rarely In
line, so some sort of flexible coupling
Is necessary, and the present high
grade joint has been devised.
Shafts Kept Moving.
The gear box rises and falls with
the spring action, but the rear axle
follows the contour of the road. Thus
the two shafts are continually moving
out of line and the need of Il flexible
Joint Is quite apparent. The angle Is
never very great, because any dcpar-
ture from straight line loses power.
When the car is properly loaded with
passengers the line will be found to
be very nearly, If not quite, straight.
On account of Its location the joint
is often neglected probably more than
any other part of the car. II Is Il
dirty job to grease or even to inspect
1t, and so II Is neglected until the
engine Is unable to pull the usual hills
ON high gear. Frequently the engine
Is blamed for this, whereas the fault
Is entirely due to friction In the uni.
versnl joint, gears, and differential.
Long before this trouble arises the
joint should be fabricated.
The old types were covered with n
leather boot difficult to remove. But
the present type Is completely incased
In metal with Il convenient plug for

must be used and the lubricant forced

gear-case compound, one that will
reach every part readily.
Avoid Cup Grease.
DO not use cup grease, as II will
not work into the joints, but will
squeeze out and stay out This also
applies to the lubricant used In gears
and differential. II must be of con.
sistency to run In between the gears
rs fast as 1t Is forced out.

method of planning off the bottom.
Drive two heavy nails in opposite cor

of heavy wire between them. slip u

wire and then take another spike and
use II as % turnbuckle in the center
