FROZEN RUTS MENACE
 TIRES; CUT MILEAGE

Careless driving in and out of deep ruts along frozen highways is far more serious menace to tire mileage than the average motorist imagines. It leads to what the tire repair men call rut-worn tire-an affliction that affects even brand new tires when subjected to improper driving condi- tions.
 The rut wear comes on the side wall of the tire just below the tread. Whereas the tread of tire will run over miles and miles of frozen road way'without noticeable wear, the side walls can't endure anywhere near as much abuse. The tread is made to bear the brunt of travel because it is the part of the tire that comes in di- rect contact with the road. Put a tire in a deep rut, however, and the side walls will get as much wear from the jagged edges of the rut as the tread does from the bottom. Conse- quently, when the motorist must drive over a rut-worn and frozen road, he will save tire expense by driving over the top of the roadway instead of in the rut. It may be a little rougher, but it's lot more econom- ical as far as tire expense is con- cerned.

ELMER CARROL GOES
 TO RIO JANEIRO

The following letter from Elmer Carroll, employed at the big sawmills here for years, will be of interest to his many old friends:
 Rio Janeiro, Oct. 5, 1919 Dear MT. Breen:
 Please be advised of the recent change of my address. Hold the brilliant journal, The Sun, until fur ther advised. l am now located in the above city, but have not yet a permanent city address. Will advise you soon.
 l have signed contract with one of the largest passenger coach and car builders in South America. We have a saw mill of 75,000 feet capac- ity per day, all Brazilian hardwood, blaming mill and cabinet machinery for the interior finish of coaches. 1 am manager of all the wood manufac- turing department. This plant has a capacity of 100 cars per month, and is modern in every respect, buildings being of steel and concrete, and all machines being driven by electricity, excepting the carriage and nigger in the saw mill department.
 ,am well pleased with the new position, one big feature being that it is located in Rio Janeiro.
 I likely will be in the market in the near future for about four skilled men, transportation and expenses will be paid to Rio Janeiro, Brazil. Brazil is on the boom, many millions of dol lars of U. s. capital coming into the country now. The National City Bank of New York is doing great business in this country. Armour is construct ing a $5,000,000 plant in the city of s. Paulo, and in all there are eight American meat packing plants in s. America.
 Come on down, and try our a relief to get'a buffer for us all. brands of studs, they are much super for to two per cent.
 Remember me to all.

HEARING ON HIGHER
 ELECTRIC LIGHT RATES

At the hearing by the state. cor pOration commission on the proposed 10 per cent increase in rates by the Flagstaff Electric Light Co.,, held at the courthouse here last Friday, Geo. T. Harrington, manager, appeared for the company, Frank Harrison for the city council, and the following for the commissions: Lloyd Jones, acting in place of his father, Commissioner F. A. Jones; Ben Ferguson, engineer for the commission; H. M. Berry, chief clerk; and Mir. Cresswell, secretary. All of the four last-named are from , Phoenix.
 ing was taken, and this report will be read and acted upon by the com- mission in executive session.
 MT. Berry had been here since the Tuesday before, making an audit of the books of the light company. He and MT. Ferguson remained here this week, making a complete inventory of the plant and all outside equipment. The valuations were taken from the original costs, as shown by.invoices. The company, in making up its an- nual statements of operations has all ways figured the equipment costs as invoiced originally, instead of at pres ent higher prices.
 MT. Berry has drawn up a schedule of rates to determine how the propos- ed increase will affect the different classes of customers and whether the flat increase will be equitable to all customers. All of this data will be considered by the commission in pass ing upon the company's petition for ; an increase in rates.
 Mir. Harrington feels that while. an increase of ten per cent is very small as compared with the rate of increase in the charges for everything else, that ten per cent, when considered in connection with the growth of the. business, will be sufficient to take care of the greatly increased cost of operation. At the same time he feels that an increase greater than ten per cent, while it would perhaps be justi- liable, might curtail the growth of the business.
 The probabilities are that the in- crease asked for will be granted by the corporation commission. From the fact that no opposition to the increase developed at the hearing, and in view of the reasonableness of the light company and their consistent endeavor to give good service, any opposition to the increase would have been unfair and unreasonable. Mir. Jones went to Holbrook Sun day, to conduct hearing for the com- mission, Mir. Creswell going with him.

MISSOURI IS VOTING
 SUM FOR GOOD ROADS

Within the last few months there has been voted by Missouri counties a total of $15,562,000 for permanent road construction. In addition there are pending bond elections in which an aggregate of $2,139,000 more is pro- posed. On top of this there are pro- posed bond issues, not yet set for vote, carrying an aggregate of $18,516,OOO
 Good road organizations, the high way commission, automobile clubs and commerce and civic organizations shortly will launch a campaign to carry the $60,000, ,000 bond issue to be voted upon in 1920. Transcontinents., highways will be pushed, and when the Townsend measure providing for a national highway system is passed by congress it is believed that Mis- souri will be in a position to create a complete state system of durable roads.

OUR YOUNG HOPEFULS

Three members of local schools faculty recently have been married, says the San Francisco Bulletin. There is without doubt a reason. Is it possible that the answer may lie in such answers as the following appear ing on examination papers:
 Helen of Troy was Henry VIII's fiance after he divorced Katherine All gone. A song has recently been dedi- cated to Helen.
 Nero was a Greek orator, and was born in Rome, where he was elected empire. He took weekend trips to 3 place called Nerve (GaulO.

DON'T DIP WASTE
 IN GASOLINE TANK

Don't dip into the gasoline tank with handful of cotton waste when you have something to clean. Cotton waste can cause more trouble with the carburetor than any amount of dirt. Incidentally, every precaution should be taken to keep the gasoline tank clean. Always strain the gasoline through chamois filter and if you use measuring stick be sure that it is always clean before it is inserted. See, also, that the surface around the tank is clean before removing the filler cap.

THE FREEDOM" BOLSHIS
 WANT IN AMERICA

KIEV-Bodies of victims executed by the bolshviki during their occu- pancy of this city are constantly be- ing found, the first estimate of 4000 is evidently much below the real total.
 Three Irish girls, Eva, May and Filesen Healy, who lived in Kiev dur ing the last six months of bolshevist rule, gave the correspondent an ac- count of bolshevik operations.
 "The autocracy of the Romanoffs with all its evils" they said, twas paradise compared to the bolshevik hades we have been living through.
 "The last few months, when the majority of the members of the Kiev committee of public safety were al ways under the influence of drink or drugs, transcended all conceivable aw- fulness. After every meeting huge heaps of empty spirit and wine bot ties and scores of morphine and CO., caine bottles were found.
 "The members of the chief com mittee sat before cage with wooden bars reaching to the ceiling. The prisoners were marched through the cage to be reviled and sentenced to death. Afterward they were stripped naked and carted off to the slaughter house.
 Another committee conducted its proceedings in the open air in a beau. tiful garden. The judges sprawled over a table and pronounced death sentences wholesale, drinking cham pagne in the intervals.
 Zone woman over 60 years old was arrested and taken out several sue cessive nights to firing wall, against which she was placed while shots were fired around her head. This was done to extract information as to the whereabouts of an officers son whom she didn't even know. She was fi- nally executed. A priest was cruc- flied"
 Other British residents said the Healy girls often, in the name of their British nationality, openly de- fled the bolshevik authorities and sue cesfully concealed a number of off cers and other intended victims.

BE CAREFUL WHEN
 FOLDING DOWN TOP

Too few car owners are particular enough in folding the top when put ting it down. The folds of material get between the top bows and often are destroyed. With some tops it is esential that all folds be kept from between the bows. This not onl 7 lengthens the life of the top, but keeps it in better condition. Too often the top becomes shabby in a few months, whereas if it were given a little care it's appearance could be kept longer.

USE CARE WHEN
 REPLACING BEARING

Every time wheel is removed the bearing cup is removed with it, and consequently the bearing must be ad- justed properly when the wheel is re- placed. The best method of doing this is to turn the bearing up tigh: and then revolve the wheel a few times by hand, which overcomes any tendency to backlash.

For Faded Hair.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

co many women. or. rather, girls. for

writing me and asking what the
trouble with their hair can be. Faded
streaks. hundreds OF gray hairs sud
denly appearing, streaks of gray on
a single hair. sometimes falling hair
from an apparently healthy scalp. are
all part OF their symptoms
Ny answer almost always must be
the same-if you are certain that
your hair has not been physically
neglected. the trouble is most likely
nerves And we have good cause 70

high prices, and now the general IN

Of living than we were in before the
war came-at least, We all hope to
see this come to pass But meantime
practically every woman is having
trouble with her hair.
So you who suspect that nerves has
something TO do with the early gray
ness and the feded look Of your
locks, remember that the only thing
you can do is to take extra good care
Of the scalp. Such things as massage,
tonics, oil rubs. regular shampoos.
etc, will do much to overcome the
toxic effects of a neurotic DISPOSE

hair looks faded, for this IS due to
lack Of oil and consequently, Of color

to treat their hair with oil, but il is
often necessary.
