RULE OVER $85,0O0,OO0 STAKE IN
POLITICAL GAME NOW ON IN
NORTH DAKOTA

Fargo, N. d., Jan, 23.-The Forum
today publishes the following from it's
correspondent at Bismarck:
Sixty million dollars in the school
and institution fund Of North Dakota
will pass into the control Of one man
within two or three weeks, under the
program that has been framed by Pres
ident A. c. Townley Of the Nonparti.
san league, approval Of which has
been voted in the Nonpartisan secret
caucus.
Eighteen million dollars additional,
collected in the form of taxes, will be
converted to the control of the same
man.
100000 More From Bonds
Seven million dollars more to be
realized from the sale of bonds of the
state, also wilf be given into the hands
Of the same man, and there is not the
slightest restriction of any kind coll
templated on the handling OF the
gigantic fund.
"Eighty-five millions of dollars is on
the table today, stakes in the dead
liest political game North Dakota ever
has witnessed.
Under three bills that have been In
troduced, each of which has the ap-
proval of the Nonpartisan league Sc
cret caucus and therefore is assured
passage by the legislature, President
Townley of the Nonpartisan league
will delegate to the governor of North
Dakota autocratic powers over the
greatest financial machine ever build

GOOD HORN IS A GREAT PROTECTION

A horn on your car that can make a sufficient volume of noise to be heard around the curve of mountain road is one of the best forms of insurance against accident that you can carry for your summer vacation trip. Though you drive as carefully as you can, you can not always protect yourself against the driving of the other fellow unless you give him fair warning before you come to a curve. By the number of motorists who have recently had their cars equipped with more powerful horns it seems the ma jority of owners are coming to realize this. An accident on mountain road is doubly serious because of the fact that it is usually a long distance to aid of any sort, and it is an extreme iy expensive matter to bring a dam aged car to a point where it can be repaired.
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-11
CLEANING THE CAR

The body of the car should be thor oughly cleaned with castillo soap and water. Mud should not be rubbed off, but rather should be washed off flow ing a gentle stream of water over the spot, This floats the mud off, with out injury to the polished surface. If mud is permitted to remain on a new body until it dries hard it almost al ways leaves spot, consequently re- moval should be immediate. If spots of road oil get on the body they should be removed by an application of salt butter, which loosens the oil, or by local application of kerosene. But be careful not to rub them too much. The top should not be cleaned with gasoline or similar liquids. Soap suds and water should be used inside and out. For the upholstery a little lin seed oil on a piece of cloth rubbed over it will work wonders.
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-11
MORE DON'TS FOR THE
 AUTOMOBILE OWNER

Don't underinflate or overload tires. These are the most common causes of tire trouble. Avoid underinflation by testing the air pressure semi-weekly.
 Don't neglect cuts. Water and dirt get in and rot the fabric, often caus- ing blowouts. Inspect your tires at least weekly for cuts and have them sealed promptly.
 Don't let your wheels run out of line. If your tires show undue wear, don't blame it to the tires, but find out the cause. Usually you will find your wheels are out of line, with the result that your tires are dragging.
 Don't stop or start suddenly. This strains your tires unnecessarily and causes rapid wear.
 Don't run on a flat tire. Nothing ruins tire more quickly. Better re- move the tire and run in on the rim if necessary.
 Don't let gasoline, oil or grease re- main on your tires. They all deterio- rate rubber.
 Don't let the car rest on a deflated tire. Better remove the tire or jack up the wheel.
 Don't carry a spare tire for long time without using. Change over once in while. A tire often deterio- rates faster on the tire carrier than on the wheel.

Other parts of the mechanism do bet ter on the ordinary cylinder oil. For the average car two grades of oil will practically take care of the entire mechanism.
 It has always been customary to lu- bricate universal joints by means of grease or graphite, simply because of the difficulty of keeping oil in the housing of the joint. The universalS move with tremendous rapidity when the mechanism is in operation, and they need very efficient fabrication. Recently it has been found possible to lubricate the universal joints by the means of oil fed through wicks. In many cases this change in the lubrica- tion of the universal would necessi- tate redesign of the part, an expense that the manufacturer is loath to in- cur. In some instances the car owner can have this change made on his own car, and it will certainly be to the advantage of his vehicles operation.
 Before we leave the subject of wick oiling it might be we'll to call atten- tion to the economy of this method. The wick draws the oil from the cup slowly and distributes it evenly over the whole surface to be fabricated. There is no waste. A well-designed wick feed oil cup will need replenish- ing only once or twice in a season.
 This question of fabrication is one that has engaged the attention of en- gineers from the very beginning of the automobile industry. Some of our engineers have attempted the nega- tive solution of the difficulty by dis pensing with grease and oil cups and substituting pushing made of wood or soft metal impregnated with graphite, which gives sort of perpetual lubri- eating characteristic to the part. For certain parts of the mechanism these oilless and greaseless bearings serve very nicely. But where there is in- tense movement this type of lubrica- tion is scarcely up to the work de- manded of it. At that, they are prob ably better than grease cups which the car owner has forgotten to turn down.
 It seems to be accepted in engineer ing circles that eventually we shall have car with central oil reservoir, from which practically all parts that need it will be supplied with lubricant. When that happy day arrives all the owners will have to do will be to fill up the central we'll at stated inter- vals. When that time arrives, as long as the oil system is functioning prop erly we shall have perfect fabrication, and haven't the engineers always told us that that means the everlasting car? In the meantime the car owner who wants his vehicle to last as long as possible can contribute to that end by substituting properly designed oil cups for the inefficient grease cups now so widely used.

WATER IN CRANKCASE OIL

Few motorists realize that a com paratively large quantity of water gradually accumulates in the crank case, mixing with the oil and forming an emulsion, which has impaired lu- bricating qualities. The accumulation of water is more pronounced in win ter than in summer and is found to greater extent as the number of cylinders increase. This brings out the importance of changing the oil every 1000 miles, and for the best lubricating results every 800 miles, in which case the old oil may be run through chamois skin to remove the water, after which it may be used again.

A method of restoring front axle which has been bent is to take two lengths of by 4-inch joists just long enough to reach from the upper side of the axle outside each spring plate to a cross timber of the ceiling or roof of the garage. Then if a jack is placed beneath the axle at the bend enough pressure may be applied by means of it to force the axle back into shape.
 Owners of cars fitted with battery ignition systems sometimes go to un- necessary trouble cleaning the spark plugs and the like because of misfir- ing, when this is due simply to dirt or carbon on the track of the distributor head. If the track becomes sooted so that the spark jumps from one terminal to another, preignition is likely to result. The easiest way to test for such trouble is to substitute another distributor head of the same model and observe the effect upon the operation of the engine.

In dealing with a small screw that refused to yield to the blandishments of screwdriver, try holding a hot soldering iron against the head. This will often do the trick by loosening the rust between the metal surfaces. Heating screw head as mentioned and then soaking it with kerosene will bring out practically any screw.

In some instances the stem of the water pump has become so worn, usu- ally in annular grooves, that the pump can not be packed to make it tight. When this happens the only thing to do is to remove the single, true it up on the lathe and have new pushing fitted to it. After this, if hempsoaked in tallow, wicking or some other good packing is used, the joint can be made tight.

The tube should be rolled flat with soft cloth between the layers; strip of cotton flannel rolled up with the tube is excellent. The roll should then be placed in a thick cloth bag with the stem protruding and the mouth of the bag can be tied around the stem. It is good plan to put tal- cum powder in the bag.

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

To avoid accidents when cranking the car by hand place the thumb close against the index finger and take the handle between the four fingers and the palm of the hand. In this way the hand opens readily if back kick occurs. Also always crank up, never down.

CARBURETOR ILLS

In many cars water and dirt in the system cause almost endless trouble, which may very likely be attributed to the engine proper. Dirt will clog the minute crevice in the carburetor, caus- ing numerous peculiar symptoms of trouble to appear. Many cars have no provision, except metal strainer in the tank, for preventing the entrance of dirt into the fuel system. It is suggested that the owners of cars so equipped fit trap in the gasoline line. All the larger manufacturers of carburetors have devices of this kind.

Germany, July 7. 1919.
Dear Mother:
Well, have some pretty good
news for you this time, which makes
me feel as though we are going to
see each other soon, for / am writing
for the last time, I am sure. while in
the A. E. F., for our postoffice closes
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and
tonight is my last chance, so thought
would drop line to you to tell
you, not to look for any more mail
after you receive this one, from this
side, especially. I may write when I
get in the States; the fact is, we are
leaving here next Monday. today a
week, at las o'clock land are ex-
pecting to go up through Belgium
and get to see some of the large
cities that the Germans held this
time one year ago, and this trip is
expected to take so hours riding for
us, if no mishaps occur, and at that
rate, if they don't keep us at the
port at Brest, France, too long, we
ought to be in the States by the first
week in August. I win go to Camp
Dix, New Jersey, to be denlobilized,
and will communicate with someone
nearby on wire upon my arrival. so
you may be prepared to receive me,
for 1 thought at one time that
would come ON a surprise, but some
thing said no, you must let them
know you are coming, SO the shock
will not be so great. After you re-
ceiVe this, it will only be matter
of few days before will be around
somewhere in the u. S. A., and will
then let you know, SO be real patti
ent and don't work any, so you will
be good and strong when I arrive,
for know we are just going to have
one grand jubilee. Tell the kids to
forgive me for not writing this time.
Will close, with good luck and
love to all. CLAUD.
