EPIDEMIC OF AUTO ACCIDENTS

There has been an epidemic OF
auto accidents this week which have
fortunately resulted in no serious
injury to anyone. The l.. E. Nc
Donald car tipped over Monday on
the way to Fargo near the gridge at
Mapleton. P J Kelly, one of the oc-
cupants, was caught across the back
by the car and owing to the f.,..S that
assistance was near at hand suffered
no serious injury altho hu was badly
bruised
Atty. c. G. Shippy, driving Ford
tipped over near Bunalo He was
accompanied by Mrs. Shippy and Mrs
Egan, and none were injured. He
mad swung to the side OF the road
to pass car ahead of him when the
car ahead also turned out. In order
to avoid collision Mr. shippy head
ed for the ditch and the bank proved
too steep The only damage to the
car was bent radius rod
! Mrs. VIM. Hanson, of Luyerna
went into the ditch at the bridge
near the Chas. Fisher farm west of
Hope. AS the ditch was full of wat
er the occupants Of the auto got
good and wet but outside OF that
suffered no injury.
! 1t is fortunate indeed that no one
was injured in these three accid-
dents. Atty. shippy states that he
expects to have no further trouble
In this line as he made a special
study OF driving an auto on per-
pendicular surface while at the Fair
lhe Army Recruiting Station at
Aberdeen, S. D., has received a large
supply of phamphiets entitled, 'Hey.
There! Do you want a home on q
farm?' This phamphlet has been
supplied by the Department; of the
Interior and has direct bearing on
the proposed Act now before Con
gress, known as the Soldiers ana
Sailors Settlement Act This Act
proposes to have the government re-
claim land in nearly all states, AFFORD
ing an opportunity to former SOL
diers to secure work in the reclama-
ton OF this land, which will after
reclamation be divided into farms OF
from to 100 acres, and be sold to
the former soldier on small payments
extending over long period of years.
These phamphlets are being sent
out to all former soldiers whose

BANK ROBBERS WORK AT
ERIE MONDAY NIGHT

During the night of Monday, July
2lst, robbers. gaining an entrance
through window, pilrerred the safe.
lty deposit boxes in the vault Of the
Farmers State Bank of Erie, and
carried away many papers and other
articles OF value.
To disconnect Erie from telephone
connection with outside towns, the
. thieves attempted in four places tc
cut the wire cables, but this being
TOO difficult, they climbed the poles
and cut each wire separately. On
entering the bank they chiseled theil
way through thirty-inch brick wall
around the vault, piling the bricks
neatly against the wall An opened
| box containing $500 worth OF Liber.
II Bonds was left untouched, which
gives the impression that the workers
were frightened at their task. Fol
| lowing is list Of articles with which
the crooks made their getaway:
One Certificate Of Deposit of $4,000
to Carl Stall on Farmers Stale Bank
of Erie.
One Certificate of Deposit of S27
to Jean E. Hill on Farmers State
Bank OF Erie.
Life Insurance policy for H. l.

The Erie operator did not notice
the telephone disconnection until the
morning when bank member made
personal call to find out the trouble
OF his inability to reach central or
the phone. The operator had noticed
however, that no calls were comine
into the Office. Upon investigation
the work Of the robbers was discov
cred and word was sent over a farm
line out from Page to Wire Chief
Amundson, of this city, who Immedi.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation Of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application Of paint, constitutes
most vital means of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources It
Is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In.
dia rubber would not be as we'll protect
ed from decay as structure coated
with good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that sheet Of rubber is not
so durable or as waterproof as thin
dried film of paint. The latter mate.
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments A square foot Of such a
film upon wooden surface costs less
than penny, yet it will beautify and
protect dollars worth Of surface for
many years. This is low rate of in
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons
Implements windmills and other struc.
lures, whether of wood, iron or cement.
should be preserved, through the use
OF paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
FOUND the most seviceable, the coloring

% tnree years to the life Of the coatiLx.

Removing Old Putty.

A great deal of scraping can be
saved, >when putty is to be removed
by brushing over 1t some nitric or
hydrochloric acid and leaving it for
an hour or two. A brush that is
OF no further use should be EMPLOYED,

glad to see officials of this company
purchase property and settle down
here as they will take personal in
tdrest in the town as well as in the
factory, and by the way, we have
heard some very flattering rumors
concerning the future of the plant
here. We understand that there is
now every indication that the plant
will double its capacity in a short
time, if not triple it, by building
another unit. The contract, which
was made several months ago, with
the Midwest Sales Company, proved
to be a very wise move, as the COM
pany will not only dispose of the
present output but fifty per cent
additional, as soon as it can be deliv-
cred. Negotiations are under way,
we understand, to increase the cap
ital stock, or at least to dispose Of
stock enough to build the necessary
buildings to accommodate the fac
tory's demands. Such has been the
history Of nearly all manufacturing
plants in the rubber industry and it
is good news to those who have been
sponsor for the local plant to know
there are such favorable conditions
in store for the Dry Climate Com
pany.

poHN SQUIRE DOUGHTY
EARLY SETTLER is DEAD

The residents of Arvada and VIC
Unity were sorry to learn of the death
of John s. Doughty, which occurred
at 8:45 Wednesday morning at his
home at the corner of East First and
Ralston Avenue.
Mr.. Doughty had been i'll for sew
en- or eight weeks and for the last
two weeks his death was expected at
most any time, his ailment being
heart and kidney trouble.
Mr.. Doughty had lived in Arvada
and the immediate vicinity for about
sixteen years, after retiring from the
farm, and altho never aspiring to pub
lie office, always took an active in
terest in public affairs, and will be
greatly missed in this community.
John Squire Doughty was born at
Casey, Clark Co., Oct. 7th, 1852.
He enlisted in the regular army at
indianapolis, In 1870 he was sent
to New Mexico and Arizona to fight
the Indians. He served three years
and was discharged for disability,
and then went to Trinidad, where he
met Miss Helen M. Davis and was
married Nov. 20, 1874. and moved to
Jefferson county and settled at Raj
ston Crossing in 1876, when there
was not a building between there and
the Platte River.
He engaged in farming and was
quite successful, for many years.
Sixteen years ago this fall he sold
a farm he had owned short time at
Highland Lake and retired, coming
to Arvada to live and built two
houses on three acre tract on
Wadsworth Avenue on the banks of
Ralston Creek, purchased from R. C.
Greene. He sold one of those houses
eight years ago after returning from
4 trip to the coast and later traded
the other house to John Clarke for
the pretty little cottage at the cor
ner Of Ralston Avenue and East
First street which he and Mrs.
Doughty occupied at the time of his
death.
To them were born seven child
rem, six girls and one boy. They all
survive and are Mrs. Mabel Litch Of
Loveland, Edna Ford of Pocstello,
Idaho. now on atstp to Alaska; Ber-
tina Kerr Of Mead, Colorado; Stella
True Of Craig, Colorado; Ada Burn
side of Leadville. Colorado; Ncttie
Mitchell Of Louisville, and Samuel
Everett Of Pocatcllo. who is an en-
gincer on the Oregon Short Line, and
was recently discharged from the
Army, after serving a year and a
half. He with his wife visited his
parents only few weeks ago.
The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon from the
Methodist church, and irterment will
be in Crown Hill.
