LOCAL SHOP
lnstalls Remarkable
Electrical Device

Local motor car owners whose
cars are equipped with electric start
ing and lighting systems will be in
terested in a remarkable device Just
installed by A. V. Hazleton of the
Battery Shop, which he recently pur-
chased from a large Chicago con-
cern. A most interesting demon
stration was made showing AMBU,
this instrument. in action attached to
a car at the garage recently-it was
weird to see the almost human in
teliigence OF the AMBU as its indi-
eating arrow slowly moved this way
or that on the dial showing that
conditions were normal or the To-
cation OF trouble or faults in the
electric system on the car.
No doubt many would say that il
was impossible for any device to an-
tomatically indicate the seat of
trouble, but they said of the air
plane and the submarine-not pos
sible-yet they're flying in the air
and sailing under the sea.
This invention and its remarkable
ability was described and discussed
in the leading periodicals OF the
country.
The motorists OF Grants Pass are
singularly fortunate in having a
garage progressive enough TO appre-
ciate the advantage OF owning such
an instrument, and they should show
their appreciation in a substantial
way.
The garage plans to charge a nom
inal fee Of 81 for a test of the en-
tire electrical equipment of a car
which will probably indicate the be-
ginning OF some trouble which can
be quickly corrected and save a big
repair pin later. AMBU not only
tells the location and kind Of
trouble. but also how to repair it.
So our car owners need not lay
mp their cars or go to the trouble
and expense of sending parts back
to the makers Of the electrical equip
ment.
1t is said that serious derange-
ments Of electric starting and light
ing systems have been located and
repair in 30 minutes through the
aid of AMBU.
The Battery Shop people seem
very much interested in showing the
instrument to any one and it is fas
/ "inating to see 1t in action. We sure
ly are living in a progressive age. G3

REVIEW SEES NO REASON FOR
INVASION

The Mexican Review, published a
Mexico City, sees no excuse for al
invasion of Mexico by armed Unite,
States forces, and appears optimisti
about the future. The Review pre-
diets that normal times will sooI
return. In its last issue the paper
says:
1t does not seem possible thai
the United States. after having spent
billions of dollars and hundreds Of
thousands of lives to uphold the prin.
ciple that treaties between strong
and weak nations are not to be re-
garded as mere scraps of paper" at
the will of the stronger. should in
tend to stulify herself to the extent
of an armed invasion of Mexico. as
demanded by the interyentionists.
without having exhausted all peace
able means of coming to an under
standing.
''The Review most emphatically
refuses to believe that any such
course will be followed.
The large increase in the number
Of passports issued and countersign-
ed for persons wishing to visit Mex
leo is an indication of the return to
normal conditions that cannot be
disputed. And when it is known that
passports are not issued to any ex-
cept those coming here on business,
the indication becomes all the strong
er. A goodly percentage of those
arriving do so with the intention OF
remaining. and the number Of new
agencies and offices being opened not
only in Mexico City but in other bus
iness centers augurs we'll for the fu-
ture."
To the average American there
appears but one course for President
Carranza 10 pursue, and that is to
hunt down Villas band to the last
bandit, and give adequate protection
to Americans in Mexico as we'll as
safeguarding American interests
along the border. Until this is done
there can be no peace in Mexico and
the Carranza government will remain
farce. Up to the present time
Carranza has proven himself but
little stronger than Villas band OF
cutthroats.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1919
THE STATE FAIR

In glancing over the premium list
for the 5Sth Oregon state fair, tc
be held at Salem, September % tc
81, it will be seen that $4,000 are
offered in premiums and purses.
But aside from the livestock show
and agricultural and horticultural
exhibits, there will be automobile
and chariot races, trotting, pacing
and running races. And some air
planes will be present to cut all sorts
OF eapers in the air for the amuse-
ment of the rubbernecks.
Among the horses, there will be
prizes for fancy riding, driving and
draft animals, including such popu-
lar breeds as French and German
coach, Morgans, Percherons, Bel
gians and Clydesdales, and jacks,
je1nets, mules and Shetland ponies.
In fact there are prizes and blue rib
bons offered for all sorts OF ranch
animals and poultry.
The cattle exhibit will be one of
the main features of the fair, ,and
many prizes and blue ribbons are
offered, the Shorthorns, Herefords,
Polled Angus, Jerseys and Holsteins
coming in for the bulk of attention,
although Galloways, Red Polled,
Dutch Belted, Guernseys, Brown
Swiss and Ayrshires will have place
in the show, as we'll as fat cattle and
best milchers.
Among the sheep listed for pre-
miums are Spanish Merinos, Ram
bouillet, Shropshires, Hampshires,
Southdowns, oxford Downs, Cots
wolds, Lincolns, Leicester and An
CORA goats. Oregon has some of the
finest sheep and goats in the world
and competition for the blue ribbon
will be stiff. But the sitter the
competition the greater the honor of
winning the blue.
While Oregon is not classed as one
of the leading hog states of the
union, her ranchers have some OF
the very best animals to be found
anywhere. They include such well
known breeds as Duroc Jersey, Pc,
land China, Berkshire, Chester
White, Yorkshire, Hampshire. and
Tamworths, the latter being a ia.
nous bacon hog. There will be
prizes and blue ribbons for all these
breeds.

agement that there will be great
exhibition of poultry in The poultry
department, especially among the
chicken raisers," while ribbons are
awaiting those who excel in various
kinds of art, such as painting, sew
ing, and other things so numerous
that it makes one dizzy to even
glance over the list.
State fairs are institutions that
should never perish=-and they will
not. They generally bring out for
exhibition the best there is in state
They are educational institutions
within themselves. Everyone who
can arrange to do so should attend

AMERICAS 1919 BABY CROP
EXPECTED TO BE LARGEST
New York Milk Committee Makes Pre-.
dfcsion After study of New
StRtiatiCn.

Americas baby crop for 1919 prom
ises 10 be the largest in the history
OF the country. according TO tho annual
survey of the New York Milk Com
mittee. just completed.
This prediction is made in the face
OF reduction of nearly 100 per cent
in the excess OF births over deaths
during 1913, as, compared with 1917:
This was caused by an unprecedented
number OF deaths approXimating q
10000 in part due 10 the influenza
epidemic and war conditions.
Computations by the committee,
based upon figures obtained from,
health officials in 1867 OF the largest
American cities reveal these facts.
That deaths In the United States last
year increased $4,000 over 1917. This
total is exclusive of the $4,000 soldiers
who gave their lives on foreign soil.
That 100000 births occurred In
1918. an increase of $1,000 over the
previous year
That the natural national increase
in population is estimated at 100000.
compared with 100000 in 1917.
That the r Infant moFtsIis
from cities comprising IS per cent of
the population jumped from 37.5 per
900 births to 1911.
