STUDIED FLAMlNGo, AT HOME
How Famous Naturalist Got CLOSEUP"
View Of Bird Remarkable for
Extreme Shyness.


A few years ago very great bird
lover succeeded in getting close to a
colony of Florida famingos in the mid
die of swamp. He had queer
basketlike continuance made and COW
cred it with palmetto leaves. While
the old birds were off feeding he
caused the device to be placed close
to the breeding grounds and crawled
into it. In this way he succeeded in
obtaining much valuable information
concerning the birds.
He observed that when they came
flying home they came with great
rushing of wings and that the hun
dreds of them hurting along through
the air was the most marvellous spec
tacle that could be imagined. One
very interesting feature observed was
that each female bird went straight to
her nest and settled down to covering
her eggs without the slightest confu-
sion. The males ambled about as
though trying to show off their lovely
plumage, for the flmingo is as vain as
peacock of his scarlet jacket. Then
each went to his own little home and
standing gravely on one foot beside
his mate seemed to be discussing the
weather with her.
When one of these great birds took
nap he curled up his long neck like
a string with a double knot tied in 1t
and laid it back between his shoulders.

Valuable Recipe.

The schoolmaster had the boys out
for "hike." and stopping near GER
tain tree he said: "Boys, when I was
young lad I stood on this spot and
threw silver dollar to that large rock
there" There was short silence and
then Sammie spoke up: "Aw, you
couldn't do it now"
"Yes, could" said the teacher. I'm
fact, l believe could even throw it
farther"
"Say, teacher" said Sammie eager
ly, will you please come home with
me an show my mother that trick?'
''There is no trick; what do you
mean?" asked the puzzled teacher.

INDIGESTION
Caused by
Acid-Stonlach

Millions Of people-in fact about out Of
1o-suffer more or less from indigestion,
acute or chronic. Nearly every case II
There are other stomach disorders which
also are sure signs Of Acid-Stomach-belch
ing. heartburn. bloat after eating. food re-
peating. sour. gassy stomach. There are
many ailments which. while they do not
cause much distress In the stomach ITSELF
are. nevertheless. traceable to an acid
stomach. Among these are nervousness
biliousness. cirrhosis Of the liver, rheama-
tism. impoverished blood. weakness. insom-
mia. melancholia and . long train OF phys
zeal and mental miseries that keep the
victims in miserable health year after year.
The right thing to do Is to attack these
ailments at their source-get rid Of the acid
stomach. A wonderful modern remedy called
EATONIC now makes it easy to do this.
Ono of hundreds Of thousands Of grateful
users of EATONIC writes: 1T have been
troubled with Intestinal Indigestion for about

Days for inspection.


The only way this can be done with
certainty is to set aside certain days
for the inspection Of each vehicle by
a mechanic whose sole duty Is to seek
out the thirsty members and apply
the lubricant most to it's taste. Armed
with a fabrication diagram, perhaps,
though this would only be necessary
at the start, q large squirt can Of
oil, another Of kerosene to clean out
dirty bushings and to free those
which may be gummed or stuck, a
bucket and gun Of ''dope" or trans
mission lubricant and a pail or can
Of cup grease, on the appointed night
he will 60 entirely over the truck.
He should pick out certain place
to start-the starting crank is logi-
col place-and proceed about the
truck, cleaning away the caked mud
and dirt and looking at each point
keenly. Parts which are found to. be
in need of lubricant should have the
needed material applied at once and a
note made Of the need. In his inspec-
ton he will test the quality of oil In
the engine base, gearbox, differential,
ETC., as well as merely the quantity
present, since 1t is necessary to clean
out old oil periodically. When
change of oil is needed he will flush
out the case with kerosene and fill 1t
to the proper level with new. clean
oil.
It may take several hours to give
the proper attention to one badly neg
lected truck. but IL once done properly
and conscientiously followed up by
periodical subsequent inspections. an
energetic mechanic should be able to
act as godfather to three or four vehi-
cles a night. Naturally II the fleet Is
small. this win not be necessary. Once
in two weeks is often enough for each
vehicle. the driver being held strictly
responsible for all daily fabrication
points, such as the fan grease cup, the
clutch oiler or grease cup. the spring
bolts, steering joints, steering knuckles
and radius rods.

LUbRICATION IS
VERY IMPORTANT
Hard to Induce Mechanics and
Drivers to Keep Chassis Oiled
as Per Schedule.
MAKE REGULAR INSPECTION
Several Hours May BE Required to
Give Neglected Truck Proper At
tention and Cover All of Most
Vital Portions.

A good way to add years to the serv-
ice life Of q motortruck and to re-
duce expensive layups Is to make sure
that it never lacks fabrication. There
are between 6fty and hundred points
on a motortruck which require indi-
vidual lubricati0n attention. Unfortu-
nately 1t is net possible to arrange
the chassis so that all of these are
to be fabricated at the same time
since the parts represented by this
array nearly all work at different
speeds and under wide variations of
load. Every manufacturer conscien-
tiOusly supplies purchasers with charts
showing just where, with what and
when to attend to each fabrication
job. Yet 1t seems impossible for most
organizations to get their mechanics
and drivers to keep the chassis oiled
as Der schedule.

REGISTERED STOCK SALE.

Joseph Turner. shorthorn breeder of
Meyers Falls, Wash, who recently
purchased the famous Brook Nook herd
Of about 800 head of registered pure
bred shorthorn cattle at Home Park
Montana, will offer u yearling heifers
10 bulls and 26 cows, all choicely bred
stock from his herd through public
auction to be held ut the Spokane
Union Stock Yards on Tuesday, June
10th. All of the animals which Mr..
Turner Is Offering, are of good breed
ing; the bulls are all of serviceable
age and the majority of the females
have been bred.
Based upon the strong demand for
good breeding stock throughout this
section, Mr.. Turner has been persuad.
ell to offer this stock in order to serve
the stockmen and farmers who desire
to secure breeding cattle at the pres
ent time
The sale will be held ON the day
preceding the opening of the Northwest
Farmers Convention in Spokane on
Wednesday, June II, for a three day
session, and. no doubt, many farmers
breeders and stockmen will desire to
attend the convention and at the same
time utilize the opportunity to buy good
breeding stock through the Turner
sale.

Prior to the elimination of the trou-

tniee new appointments made to the
board and fear had become generated

gesfed that the appointments were be-

the educational institutions might be
carried ont promptly and unquestion-
ingly. The committee can find no di.

On the contrary it seems fairly clear
that the action on the part Of the
board was determined by its own analy.

little money for good roads, have lost the opportunity
to get great deal of money free gift from the State

There could be nothing more short-sghted than this

which may be sure to bring down high prices. That
is by refusing to buy until they do come down. Let us

OF course this does not mean that should not
