My carburctor is OF tho compcnsating-

Quito likely tho main Jet OF your car

dcnscr than that for which the carbur-

Answer: An intsn1ifier (auxiliary

short-circuit and fail to spArk, as

the installation Of an intensifier as

 Strong opposition was expressed to any sales taxes to repeal Of the excess profits tax, and to any tariff on lumber and fertilizer.
 The federation reaffirmed it's stand for packer regulation vested in the department Of agriculture and opposition to any federal excise tax on land.
 The attention of congress was call. ed to the important and differing factors affecting food products from the American farm in their relation ship to imports of like products from foreign countries" in considering the labor cost in making up the tariff law. Attention of congress also was directed to the center" of food pro- duction of the United States as being somewhere" in the Mississippi val ley while the center of consumption is in the populous areas Of the east many hundreds of miles away" Ocean freieht rates from competing countries to the consuming centers were declared to he much lower. than are the exorbitant and increas- inP freight rates from our farms to ouf own consumers"

STOCKHOLM, April 23.-The or ganized rebellion against the Russian soviet government is rapidly spread ing. according to authoritative dis patches from Petrograd today Peas ants, angered at the tyranny of the soviet administration, are organizing in many parts of Russia, particularly in the Ukraine and Soviet forces, hurriedly 1alled out, are meeting de- ternined and organized resistance there, while in many other sections the peasant forces are forcing the the fighting.
 Many towns between the Deniper and Dneister have already fallen to the new revolutionist forces and Sow jet troops are reported as preparing to defend many others. Peasant ar mics are daily gaining in numbers. are intended to force the Bolsheviki to the left bank of the Dniper.
 The railroad between Moscow and the Crimea has been almost complete ly destroyed, cutting soviet supplies and achievements. In North kiev the peasants overestimating their power, engaged Bolsheviki forces and were driven back with tremendous losses. The Bolsheviki are following the retreating peasant armies. A reign of terrorism has resulted in the country through which the peasants retreated. Hundreds of prisoners, ac- cording to dispatches, have already been put to death. The Bolsheviki are said to be extending their reign of terror to civilians, regardless of whether or not they extended any aid to the revolutionists.
 In other parts of Russia the tide of battle is swinging toward the peas ant forces and Soviet troops are re- ported from several sections to be fighting desperately to keep from be- ing entirely plotted out. The situa- tion has caused a feeling of apprehen- sion among Soviet officials and every effort is being exerted to attempt to put down the peasant revolt.

LYMPNE. England. April 23.-CBy the Associated Press,l ~ It is Great Britain's intention to abide by the provisions. of the agreement arrived at in Paris last January with re zard 10 what steps should be taken to coerce Germany into meeting her re- parations debt; she agrees that fail ure by Germany to meet her obliga- tions in this respect should be met with further pressure.
 , This became known in the course of today's meeting between Premiers Briand and Lloyd George. who came here to confer on the situation aris- ing from Germany's stand on the re- Darations questions and what IS to be done if she continues her recalci- trant attitude.

 Although Lloyd George doubtless was aware of the general character of the French plans from the commit nications exchanged between the British and French foreign offices. M. Rriand expressed the wish to ex- nlain personally some of the impor- tant features affecting the general policy Of the allies in order to attain complete unity of purpose.
 Today's conversations therefore. began with a rather extended eN- nosition of the French scheme by M. Briand and Phlippe Berthelot. of the French foreign office. with Lloyd George interrogating them.
 The conversations were held in the black and gold room Of the residence of Sir Philip Sasson. There was no table in front of the conferees. who lounged in arm chairs.
