UNITED STATES TIRE NEWS.

A resoureful motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on a pair
of mules to get free. For such an
emergency the United States Tire
Company offers some suggestions
that have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car stack
of old newspapers. When the car
gets stuck and the wheels refuse to
take hold, feed in some Of the old
papers between the tires and the
mud. Usually only few will have
to be worked in before the wheels
will begin to grip and the car start
forward. This method Of handling
difficult situation is so simple and
so uniformly successful, that every
motorist should know Of 1t and carry
pile of old newspapers, unless he Is
equipped with some other apparatus
for such contingency.
Here is another method suggested
by the United States Tire Company:
Put the car in low, and If you can
not feed the gas with your foot
evenly, so that the wheels will revolve
slowly, put your emergency brake on
Do not put it on SO that the wheels
will not revolve at all, but tightly
enough to keep them from revolving
rapidly With the wheels turning
slowly, the maximum pull is de-
livered to them by having the car In
low gear, and so long as they turn
slowly they can get the benefit of the
tremendous power.
1t is not always wise to fill the hole
with stones or bricks, for their rough
edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this method fail, quite often
slight push that would not much
more than move baby buggy will
furnish just the added amount of
power necessary to get the car going.

EMERY CRAWFORD NOW
SAILING CHINESE SEAS

Mrs. George Moore, of this city, is
in receipt of the following letter
from her brother, Emery Crawford,
who is now on the U. S. S. Whining
ton, and in Chinese waters. He
writes under date of March 1st, from
Shanghai, China.
Dear Sister and All:
Have been putting off writing
since We came up here but will try
now Was expecting letter from you
on the boat that came in yesterday
got letter from Mabel and Sadie,
but none from you. | hope you are
all we'll by this time. ain feeling
fine and having good time and like
this place lots better than Manila.
The climate here is better, weather
conditions are more like we have in
the States. 1t is just cold enough to
be nice once in while, the fog comes
up the river for three or four hours
but one can put on warmer clothes
and feel fine. We are not on the sea
any more and are now in the Whang-
poo River. We left Manila Feb. 5
and got here the 11th, and sure had
some bad trip. We ran into a storm
the second day out and this lasted
two days. | was some sea sick those
two days; | wanted the ship to go
down, that's how sick | was. Oh you
don't know how sick one can get, and
it is different from any other kind of
sickness.
| have been making UP the time
since | arrived here, there are so
many things have never seen before.
THE Cinnamon do everything by hand,
having no machinery. They carry
everything instead of hauling it, and
make horses of themselves. | have
seen eight or ten Of them pulling a
big cart load that was enough for two
horses, and the rig we ride in, that
takes the place of buggy, auto or
street car, is little cart just big
enough for one and it is pulled by a
Cooley They are the poorer class
of Cinnamon and they can travel al
most like horse, running for three
or four hours without stopping. 1t
is lots of fun to ride in these carts.
Lots Of these people live on the river
all the time In little boats-some of
them they do not allow to go ashore
at all They live on fish and rice
they would surely die II they did not
have rice. Most of them go bare
footed the year around, the same
when the snow is on the ground as
when the sun is shining.
Of all the old buildings, and oddly
built you ever saw, they are here. The
native men and women all dress alike
and one cannot tell them apart. The
women all work like the men on the
river and they can run the boats just
as we'll They have peculiar super
.stition here. When little kid or
any one falls in the river the second
time he is a goner. He may be able
to swim and tries to get out, but he
is caught and held under the water
until he dies. They have the super
stition that the devil is in the water
and if one falls overheard the second
time, the devil wants him and If he
is not given up the entire family will
be taken So they shove him under
and do not think anything about it.
| wish you could see the little boats
they have here, would not under
take to count them, they are here by

The Need of Conserving Gasoline.

That there is urgent need Of con-
serving the supply of gasoline If the
ever increasing demand is to be met,
is pointed out elsewhere In this issue
in an announcement by the Standard
Oil Company. Everybody interested
in gasoline including the oil refiners,
automobile engineers, and the gov
ernment itself, is giving a great deal
of thought to this problem.

PRESIDENT WILSON
AT GREELEY

An effort will be made to induce
President Wilson to give a brief rear
platform speech in Greeley when the
presidential train passes thru here
presumably on the afternoon OF Sept
"a between Cheyenne and Denver
The movement is non-partisan. That
is to say several court house republi-
cans and democrats first originated
the idea. NJ, J Walsh. who is a
member OF the democratic central
committee. has received several re
quests to make an effort to get the
president TO speak at the local sta
tion.
The president has already disobey-
cd the orders of his physicians by
making rear platform speeches in
small cities and towns not on his
published schedule. Regardless Of
their political faith most OF Greeley
people would be glad OF a chance 10
see and listen to the president here.
To pass up any possibility Of socur-
ing brief stop at the local station
would show lack of enterprise The

The political center of gravity in
the nation has shifted : to the
states that lie between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Coast"-New
York Times editorial.
This opinion Is typical Of an Idea
which Is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There Is feeling that
"the West Is In the saddle for the
presidential nomination In 1920"
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential election has made 1t
potent factor In future calculations.
Moreover, the politicians know that In
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment does not become operative
In time for the next national election
there are, nevertheless, l6 states west
of the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
Ing an increment of some six million
votes, which might easily turn the cleo

ana without the sanction and support
or this great power candidates for
state or Judicial Offices could not be
elected. Johnson, first as counsel foi
interests opposing the railroad corpo.
ration and later as governor, waged
bitter and unremitting warfare against
railroad domination. His final victory
was a potent factor in his election to
the senate In 1915. Johnson Is a Re.
publican. but generally regarded as
one of the radical type. He has, like
Polndexter, strongly opposed the
League OF Nations.
Senator William Il. Borah of Idaho
does not differ greatly In the degree OF
his achievements from the two other
westerners. Born In Wayne county,
ILL.,, Borah was educated IN the CON-
mon schools Of that state and at Kan.
sas State University. He was admit.
ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his
time to legal practice until his election
to the senate In 1907 Borah Is one OF
the most active figures in the United
States senate. His efforts largely have
been directed toward the proper de-
velopment Of the great natural re
sources Of the country, especially OF
the West. He Is known as progres
siye Republican, fearless In fighting
for what he believes to be right and
like the others included in this presi
dental group, has opposed from the
start the League of Nations covenant. !.

Acting under instructions from

buyers will buy butter fat on the
basis of quality as well as upon the
amount Of butter IL will make. There

and also to keep it clean and free
from contamination.
There will be a difference Of from

BOULDER WANTS
SLICE or Weld

According to G. M. Brust, Mead ed
tor, there is well organized move
ment in Boulder county to petition
the next legislature to add large
slices OF Weld and Larimer counties
to Boulder county. The Longmont
and Boulder people want Mead,
Frederick. Firestone and Erie dis
tricts to share their tax burden and
will also annex Berthoud and Estes
Park.
Brust says that the leading citi-
zens Of the Mead district would be
opposed to the change also that Estes
Park and Berthoud would make a
very vigorous protest One OF the
objections which farming districts
have to being annexed to Boulder
county is that huge sums OF money,
In proportion to the total road funds.
are spent on scenic highways in the
mountain districts.-Greeley Trib-
une.
Boulder people do not want to fig
ure largely on any taxes to be paid
by the annexed territory, nor need
the people OF the Mead district loose
any sleep over assisting Boulder
county build any scenic highways,
except as they contribute to the state
higway fund as taxpayers of Weld
county.
There is little constitutional pro-
vision which makes such a change as
mentioned very improbable, II not
impossible. i is:
Section Article IA. mo part of
the territory of any county slAll be
stricken off and added to an adjoin-
ing county, without first submitting
the question to the qualified voters of
the county from which the territory
Is proposed to be stricken off; nor
unless majority of all the qualified
voters of said county voting on the
question shall vote therefor
This section should be quite an eff
'ectual barrier to any tampering
with our western boundaries.

COURSE
OPENS OCT. Il

The third season for the Raymer
Lecture Course, backed by the Boos-
ter Club, opens this year on October
1lth, with the Oleo Theoboldi Con
cert Company.
The great successor to the great
Ole Bull has with him the same vio-
lin that the former master used in
his violin productions. The instru-
ment is worth more than a king S
ransom for money cannot buy it,
Bull directed that Theoboldi should
have the famous instrument, but on
ly to use. for when TheoboIdi dies
1t must be deposited with a museum,
not to be taken out until awarded
to some violinist of distinction and
ability with the sweet toned instru-
ment. To get to play on the great
violin is a great distinction and the
fact that Raymer will have an OPP
portunity to hear 1t is guaranty
that lovers OF music have a great
treat store on October 11th.
