LOOK OVER TIRES
BEFORE JOURNEY
Motorists Should See That Car
is Properly Shod Before
Starting Trip.

Before starting on that long outing
you're planning for this summer
remember your tires. They will
have 10 bear the brunt OF lots of
hard usage before YOU get back and
unless you don't care about annoy
ing delays, see that they are in first
class shape before you begin the
first leg of your trip.
It's "A common practice OF motor
lists, says the Diamond Rubber Co.
20 overlook their tires even when
they are very careful about other
things. They take great pains TO
see that their engines are running
smoothly. brakes adjusted properly,
nuts tishtened. grease cups Clled,
and SO on, and then pass up their
tires entirely.
Needless 10 say, this is q big mis-
take If trouble is encountered
with the tires. the whole trip is Of
ten spoiled. Nothing Is more an
noying than 10 have tires give away
far out IN the country, many miles
from the nearest service station.
Then. II ever. the motorist loses
his good nature.
Many troubles on tour can he
avoided by inspecting the tire thor
oughly before leaving. Even the
spare tires should DE gone over
carefully. Small cuts which are
likely Co nh with sand and finally
cause blow-Outs should be watched
particularly. The pressure in all
the tires should be tested.
And while on the tour. the tires
should be inspected at regular in
tervals. especially II the car has
been driven over rough roads 4

Snerial 10 me News-TimeE:

Special 20 The News-Times;
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 10
Failure OF Gov. Goodrich 10 have
the election laws amended at the
one day special legislative session
last winter has presented a perplex-
ing problem 20 the boards OF coun-
~ commissioners and 10 both the
democratic and republican organi-
cations. Party workers OF both or
CARNATIONS who have discovered
that the governors vacilation IN
summoning the second session will
seriously handicap the taking Of
polls and that it may interfere with
the first registration on September
4. are voicing deep resentment
against Gov. Goodrich's apparent at
tempt 20 make political capital out
OF the convocation Of the lawmak-
ers.
The election law amendment
which will De submitted TO the
special session will authorize the
boards OF county commissioners at
their first meeting on August 2. TO
revise the precincts in order 10 care
for the increased number OF voters
due TO the fact that women will be
admitted 10 the polls for the first
time. The re-arrangement OF the
precincts will be a huge task in
many OF the countries and where
no preliminary work has been done
1t Will impose a tremendous burden
on the commissioners.
Haste Is Necessary.
The necessity for haste In perfect
ing the new precinct boundaries is
apparent because IL must be com
pleted in time 10 prepare for the
registration. According TO the law
the commissioners shall, at least
Is days before the session OF the
board OF registration. provide and
secure in each precinct OF the coun-
" a suitable room" for holding the
registration. Compliance with that
provision will give the commission
erS only a little more than two
weeks TO complete the task of re-
vising the precincts and preparing
for the registration, and in many
places it is said an almost unsur-
mountable burden Will be placed on
the county officials.

Do not think that valves do not
need grinding until they begin to
lose compression. They may be
badly pitted and the longer this is
allowed 10 run the greater will be
the labor of grinding them. Valves
should be reseated every 1 500 miles
20 obtain the best results.
If emery or carbOrundum COM
pound cannot be obtained for valve
grinding the loose emery may be
used Flour emery should be used
unless the valves are badly pitted,
when coarse emery is necessary.
This makes deep grooves which must
afterward be ground out with the
finer emery.

Mr.. Editor:
I quote from Farm, Stock & Home:
1.-The United States Department of
Labor reports that from July l, 1919,
to July 1, 1920, food prices advanced
PAL per cent, while farm products de-
creased per cent. In other words the
spread caused by speculative middle
men between what the farmer sells and
what the consumer pays, already too
wide, increased in twelve months over
% per cent" 1t would seem that in
view of such facts all consumers as
we'll as producers should be intensely
interested in efforts to stop this parasite
cal profiteering.
Now, whereas, we are about to vote
for a set of lawmakers and executors
there is a possibility of electing a lot
who can, if they will, do a great deal
towards correcting the evils which now
go practically unchecked. Candidates
for public Office are plentiful as fallen
leaves in autumn and they use the pub
lie forum and press to advocate them
selves in glittering generalities, and eye
catching phrases, such as, the farmer
is the backbone of our country he must
have our special care"
1.-THE laborer is of more Importance
than capital. His welfare must receive
prior consideration"
measures how to accomplish this there
is a lack of information. In the pro-
paganda of the average old party candi-
date campaign promises and campaign
camouflage are deservedly becoming dis
trusted and the Conscientious voter. be-
fore he pledges his vote. will inquire in
to the antecedents and hackers of the
candidate.
To the careful observer it would seem
that the fool suckers who are said to
pay Townley SIS in order to be told by
him how to vote are not such fool
suckers after all, because their plat
form clearly and specifically states
what they want and how they are going
to get it and their candidates keep their
prediction promises and do what they
have promised as was sufficiently dem
Onstrated in North Dakota.

The clearing and improving of a farm

Editor of The Tribune:
Being a subscriber of your paper and
a past resident of Stevens county shall
write a few words about myself and
this locality in answer to your recent
request.
We moved to Carlton County, Mime
thinking this climate beneficial to my
health, being for many years a sufferer
of hay fever. In regard to which will
say I am seldom troubled now.
We are located fifty miles west of
Duluth, on the Northern Pacific Rail-

Duluth Highway. Our farm is four
miles from a thriving little country
village which consists of two hotels,

gooseberries, raspberries, and currants.
There are two varieties Of cranberries,

Orchards of apples and plums are COM

their potatoes as a means of livelihood,
the timber having been mostly disposed
of. Farms are small, generally not ex-
ceeding one-hundred and sixty acres.

HANCOCK
From the Record.
Population Is 100 More


The table as sent out by the census
Supervisors gives the population of
Hancock as 1853 but it will be found on
adding the totals for the county that
it gives a total of 967S for the county
while the tables gives it at 100 more or
9778 and adding the 100 to the popula-
ton of this village makes the total for
the county right according to the table.
We had been told while the census was
being taken that we had won bet
when we told the local enumerator we
had a bet the village would go over 500
that we had won our bet already and
that there were still number of fam
lilies to call on and when We received
the preliminary report and called his
attention to the fact he Informed us
that the figures of the report were just
100 short for the village so We are not
claiming the population of any other
division of the county when we add the
100 to our own population. In the ten
year period from 1900 to 1910 the gain
for the village was 26 per cent and for
the past ten was 65 as stated above or
a total gain for the past twenty years
of something over 100 per cent, which
is far from bad showing.
And we are still growing-and our
new school is not going to be a bit too
large.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Marsh drove up
from Winnebago on Tuesday evening for
a visit with old friends. They stopped
at the Kit Thompson home just about
dark and left their car standing in the
yard while they went in to supper and
on coming out three quarters of an
hour later Charlie found that a sneak
thief had made way with his coat which
he had thrown in the back of the car as
it was uncomfortably warm driving up.
There was a check book and some pap
ers of no value to any one except the
owner in the coat and Charlie says if
the sneak will bring back the papers
he will not kick on the loss of the ten
dollar bill that was folded in the check
book.

 The Committee on Resolutions in the recent state conference said among other things: "We condemn in unstinted measure all violence and lawlessness as eXemplified in the threats, the actual burning of gins, warehouses and other places contain ing cotton, and other demonstrations of destructive character.

PURE BRED SIRES BRING HIGH
 PRODUCING KEEPERS

It is the sire that transmits milk and butter production to the heifer states w. H. Woodley, dairy special ist of the Agricultural Extension Di. vision, Unilersity of Arkansas. Re suits of the use of sire from high producing strain are shown by in creased production in his heifers.
 With the foundation stock that Ar. kansas already has, we can build uI productive herds quickly and safely and with little money by getting good sires, points out MT. Wodley. A $500 bull in community will pay for him. self with heifers from his first years breeding.
 A community bull association such as is being formed in a few counties of the state this year will bring from 40 to 50 high producing heifers into the community each year at small cost. Results already obtained from breeding good pure bred buls on Ar kansas cows show that the daughters on the average produced 50 per cent more milk and butter products than their dams. The grand daughters pro- duce 125 per cent more milk and but ter products than their grand dams.

The time before they de- cided on the step seemed long to the little club girl, but meanwhile she kept industriously at the club work and followed her leaders instructions. Soon the results of her efforts be- came apparent in the home Then she persuaded her father to take up newer lines of development on his farm, and last year he built the mod ern, attractive country home which had been promised her.
 Irene learned from her club leader how to finish floors and woodwork and how to paper wall. Then she and small brother put the lessons into practice and the whole interior of the house was finished by their efforts.
 Her own room she furnished with a quaint old suite of furniture which she made over. The rag rug on the floor she made herself .as we'll as the curtains at the window. Little money was expended but much taste and in- genuity were put into the room.
 Besides being an expert gardener and canner, this Madison county girl can embroider and sew, can cook nice ly, and serve properly balanced meal. Last but not least, she finds time to be leader of her community in all social affairs.
