CAREFUL DRIVING IS
DUTY OF MOTORISTS
Driver Should Always Be Vigilant
to Avoid Accident.
Maintenance Of Car in Good Condition
is Next Consideration and Fre-
quent Inspection, Especially of
Wheels, Is Needful

Prevention of accident is the ever
present duty of all motorists. The
driver should always be vigilant to
prevent disaster. Careful driving is,
of course, the first consideration, the
Idea being to always avoid risk.
Next comes the maintenance of the
car in good condition. This requires
frequent inspection, especially of the
wheels Wheel trouble is too fire.
quently overlooked and the condition
of the spokes neglected. Loose spokes
make the car unsafe in sudden emer-
gencies. with terrible results in some
cases.
The first indication of loose spokes
are squeaks and paint cracks where
the spokes join at the hub or rib. The
cracks show that the wood has shrunk.
If not attended to promptly, the
spokes work looser, till the stability
of the wheel is seriously impaired
Then. at a critical moment. the wheel
collapses.
The motorist should always take
time to see that the wheels of his
car are in good running order, for
still other reasons. 1t is much easier
and less expensive to correct defects
in their early stages than later on.
Again. unsound and insecure wheels
cause all other parts of the car to de-
teriorate more rapidly than they would
otherwise. If the wheels do not run
true the tires soon wear out. the
chassis is warped out of shape and the
foundation on which the motor rests
weakens So that the mechanism works
under unnecessary and ruinous strain.
Neglected wheels soon reduce car
to condition of useless junk, where
as a little care as occasion demands
adds greatly to its life, pleasure and
security.

VANISHED WITH THE BUFFALO
Few Left Of the Pronghorn Antelope
That Once Roamed the Plains In
Vast Numbers.

Next to the buffalo. the most nu-
merOus animal in the United States
not more than 80 years ago was the
pronghorn antelope. About half the
size Of deer, but a bit more COM
pactly built. it ranged the plains from
the Missouri river westward to the
Pacific in places.
Antelopes were dry-country animals,
and were always found wherever
sagebrush, bunch grass and the short,
curly buffalo grass existed. Their fa-
yorite range was the plains country
just east of the Rocky mountains,
where they migrated with the seasons,
from Alberta to Mexico, and between
the Rocky and the west coast ranges
from the Big Bend of the Columbia in
Washington, southwark to the Gulf
of California and the Mexican west
coast. 1t was the best runner of all
the plains animals, and had endurance
for long-distance running. being well
able to take care of itself when in dam
ger. Its meat is not very attractive to
the white mans palate, being stringy,
tough and dry. and having somewhat
the taste of goat meat. Some are still
found, but only in widely scattered
areas.

Shakespeare Club
Enjoy Good Meeting

"The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse was the subject Of
fine paper given by Mrs. David
Hill at meeting of the Shake
spear re club at her home Tuesday
evening. The paper was a review
of the outstanding book about the
Great World war, and, written by
a Spaniard, is especially interest
ing because of its neutrality. As
it is long, well-written book,
amounting to a history of the war
period, Mrs. Hill hopes that her
paper might act as an incentive to
possess the book and read it care
fully. During the reading of the
review, Mrs. Hill had the undi-
vided attention Of her hearers.
Another feature of the same
evening was a splendid paper by
Mrs. W. L. Shaffer on Science in
the War;" telling of the new de-
parture in this war by which many
thous ands of scientists contribu-
ted to the winning of the war. In
Germany the beginning of the
war saw the results Of the work of
men of this class. but they were
replaced by military men as the
war progressed; but the opposite
was true in the Allied forces, and
science took great strides forward,
with more men OF this kind help
ing at the end than at the begin
ming.
One professor from the Rookie
feller Foundation went over and
asked of the surgeons again and
again "What is your greatest need
in the hospitals?" So many times
was he told that disinfection of
deep wounds was needed to cure
wounded men more quickly and
leave them better men. that he
returned to the great institude and
bending every effort. soon solved
the question. This situation was
brought out in sharp contract to
the surgery of the Civil war,
when the surgeon might withdraw
the knife, sharpen it on his boot
top, and plunge it again into the
wound.
Mrs. J. A. Townsend sang two
songs which delighted the men,
bers. and Mrs. Mcbride accom-
panied her at the piano in SYM
pathetic way.
The next meeting of the club
will be the social meeting in two
weeks at the Leebrick home.

RIPE IDEAS
From the Man in the
Hole in the Ground

There is such thing as people
living beyond their means and
ability to pay their bills and bor-
rowing all their credit will stand
and more, but unless they retrench
and economize in their reckless
expenditures and pay their obliga-
tions they reach bankruptcy. May
this not also apply to governments
and nations as well as to individ-
uals?
Our debts have now reached thu
almost incomprehensible sum of
twenty billion dollars. By prac-
ticing the strictest economy in ad
ministering every detail of our
government. huge sums required
to pay interest and keep the wheels
turning will prove heavy enough
burden upon the taxpayers with
out adding to it. This generation
can never hope to more than pay
the interest and current expenses
of conducting the government, and
this awful burden of debt will be
saddled on generations yet un-
| born.
We should economize in every
possible way. We appreciate the
many privi leges we enjoy and
would like to see everything move
right along, progressing to a better
and happier life for all. There is
"a limit to human production of
wealth, however. and there must
be limit to taxation, or it may
lead to what we are striving to
avoid-bankruptcy, anarchy and
chaos.
The Man in the Hole
Your argument sounds all right
for the fellow of today who would
rather pass the burden on to future
generations. But what are the
future generations going to do if
the country gets into another war?
Remember the old saying In time
of peace, prepare for war;. In
time of peace We must pay off our
debts of war and be ready for the
next war whether it ever comes OF
not. Another thing, our immense
war debt was created with cheap
money, squandered right and left
in time of plenty. No honest
minded man can require it to be
paid off with high-rriced money.
Cut down expenses of the govern
ment, apply taxes to paying off
the principal Then when we
commence to get back the money
we loaned Europe and the interest
on it we will soon pull out of the
hole. Don't get discouraged
