SHOULD TREAT
AMMETER AS A FRIEND

What do they put smmeters on cars

tell you they don't know. says an
editorial In the current issue OF
Motto Life magazine. That may
sound queer to the Informed type
OF car driver, but 1t is nevertheless
the fact
The ammeter tells whether the
generator 10 working properly or
whether you have short circuit
which is draining the battery OF It's
electrical energy. The ammeter Ii

at speeds Of about fifteen miles an
hour or over. the ammeter's little in

PASSENGER CAR SHOULD
GIVE TRUCK WIDE BERTH
This Is Especially Desirable
When Roads Are Slippery.

When a heavy motor truck is swing
ing around curve on wet day
IL is the part of wisdom for pas
senger cars to give II a good wide
berth. II the rear end of the truck
starts to skid it Is likely to ami
hilate any light passenger car that
gets In its path.
1T is this danger of skidding that
is one of the truck drivers big wor-
ries on wet day" I'd veteran
truck operator Of the United States
Tire Company recently. I've seen
small passenger cars smashed to
pieces in this way on curves. When
the tail end of one Of these big fell
lows starts to slip there is no tell
ing where it will stop. Sometimes 1T
swings against the curb and other
times knocks over telephone poles.
II a passenger car happens TO be in
between, 1t hasn't much chance.
MY recommendation to the drivers
of passenger cars is to give the
trucks plenty of room on slippery
days.
"One other favor passenger car
operators can confer on truck drivers
Is to be little generous in the
matter Of space on hill. The truck
man Is desirous of showing every
possible courtesy to other drivers,
but he has a big, heavy vehicle to
handle and IL Is not so simple a
thing for him to get far over to one
side on a bad grade as it is for a
passenger car"

To the veteran Eddie ODonnell

CUSTOMS IMPORTATION,

Doc German, customs officer at
OsoyOos, was in town Tuesday and
requested this paper to lay before the
| travelling public the fact that aut }
travellers must check in and out at
both the customs office at Oroville
and the customs office at Osoyoos.
Thrugh ignorance of regulations some
residents of Oroville have informed
auto travellers from California, Idaho,
and other distant points in this state
that in crossing the line all they had
to do was to report at the customs Of
flee at Osoyoos, ignoring the fact that
it is necessary to check out through
the Oroville customs office In num-
erous cases, Mr.. Germain states, auto
parties have come all the way to
Osoyoos with United States papers
that should have been handled by
Customs Officer CRUDE, necessitating
their motoring back to Oreville in or
der to correct the error. Travellers
should remember that they must re-
port atbOth Oroville and Osoyoos when
crossing the line, and residents or
Oroville giving strangers information
upon the subject should bear this in
mind.

CAUSE OF MUCH SHORTAGE.

One of the finest and largest apple
orchards in this immediate locality Is
that OF F. l.. Stansbury, situated on
the east side of the OkanOgan river.
Just beyond the town limits. II ia an
orchard that Mr.. Stansbury planted
ana nursed up to the producing stage.
Last year he harvested and shipped
o'ooo boxes Of apples, and yet that
magnificent orchard will produce
hardly more than 1000 boxes this
year lie charges up the failure to the
early and heavy freeze of last Decem.
Der, when the buds were killed. He
mas excellent evidence upon which to
base this theory. There were three
apple trees in his orchard that were
somewhat out of the irrigated belt
last year, and they got little or NO
water late in the season, so that the
ground around them was perfectly
dry. This year those three trees are
loaded with fruit while all the trees
that were heavily watered last fall
are short of the usual yield. 1t would
seem that Mr. Stansbury has reached
the solution of the apple shortage IN
his orchard, and wherever that short
age exists in other orchards 1t can
De charged up to the same cause.
