ESTABLISHMENT OF
NON-COTT0N ZONES
Gotten Men Urge Federal and
State Cooperation to
Secure Funds.

Washington.-Co-operation of the
FEDERAL and State governments in sup
plying funds for the maintenance of
non-cottOn zones in stamping out the
PINK boil worm, was recommended to
the secretary of agriculture Monday
by the conference of representatives
from the cotton growing States Es-
tabllshment of non-cOtton zones was
declared to be the way in which the
pest can be stamped out.
The conference requested the estab-
lishment of these zones in the affected
areas in West Texas and New Mexico
as soon as possible and also requested
the cooperation of Mexico be secured
in maintaining a similar non-cotton
zone on her side of the border.
The conference declared that
prompt advantage" must be taken of
the opportunity new to stamp out the
pink boil worm pee Maintenance of
regulated zones, they said in infested
areas is fraught With danger to the
eutlle CottOI INDUSTRY, ana non cotton
zones should at once be established
instead. Establishment of technical
commissions to have charge OF this
work was also suggested
The conference expressed its gratifi-
cation over the assurance that a spe-
cial session of the Texas legislature
would be held in July to strengthen
the law and put on regulations which
will effectively meet the situation.
A special committee of five with
President Bizzell of the Texas Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College as
chairman was appointed to convey the
resolutions to Secretary Wallace.
The Texas delegation met with the
federal horticultural board after the
to work out details for sug-
gestions to be incorporated in the new
measure which is expected to be laid
before the Texas Legislature at its final
session.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishlng statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
lected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t i. on sale

The MILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT.

The Rosebud Sioux Tribes have a
greed to compromise all the pending
claims relative to fual rolls which will
be used in the distribution of the so
called million dollar payment, and
have circulated petition to bs sign
ed by all male members Of the tribe
over eighteen years of age. to this eff
feet, and the same will be submitted
to the Honorable Commissioner of In
dian affairs at Washington, d. c., for
consideration. II seems, that when
the appointed tribal committee, pass
ed on the above named final rolls,
they recommended to the Commis-
sioner, that certain families or individ-
uals be stricken off the said rolls, and
consequently the payment has been
held up on account of contests pend
irg, however, the tribe have now "a
greed to allow the remaining pending
claims 10 remain on the hnal rolls to
expedite The payment. Since that
has been the only obstacle and cause
OF delay, it is pre- umed, that the Com
missionec will approve of the actions
of the tribe in the offer OF compro-
mise and proceed with the long ex-
pected payment. The tribe have a
greed to the plan or manner Of dis :
tribution Of the funds as prescribed
by the Interior Department. The
Patent in Fee Indians will draw their
share in full, while the shares OF the
incompetents will be handled like ali
other individual moneys.

DRIVER DEFT AT
SHIFTING GEARS
All Motions With Levers Must Be
Made Deliberately and With
out Undue Haste.
PROBLEMS ON TRANSMISSION
II Is a Serious Mistake to Permit Car
to Gain Too Much Speed Before
Changing Combinations
Good Method Outlined.

One of the marks of a good driver
Is the manner In which he handles
the gear shifting lever. OF course.
the design of the clutch has a great
deal to do with easy gear shifting,
but even with this advantage a GER
tain amount of practice Is necessary
in order to shift the gears deftly with
out noise or clashing.
The transmission is made up Of a
series of gears, mounted on the main
shaft and the countershaft, with the
idler gear mounted on the transmits
sion case. The first speed, second
speed and reverse combinations are
simply three sets of reduction gears
with various ratios, to give the mo-
tor a greater leverage against the
driving mechanism when required.
High speed is direct drive, which
means that the propeller shaft re-
wolves at the same rate Of speed as
the motor crankshaft. The various
gears are brought into play by moving
the gear shifting lever to the proper
positions. rr5
Power Is Disconnected.
When the clutch pedal is pressed
all the way down the power Of the
motor is disconnected from the trans
mission system, which releases the
pressure of the gear teeth against
each other and makes it possible to
shift the gears easily. Also, when
the gear shifting lever is In neutral
position the power is disconnected
from the rear driving mechanism, be-
cause none of the transmission gears
are in mesh.
The whole theory of gear shifting
may be summed up In the statement
that the two gears about to be meshed
should be revolved slowly and as
nearly as possible at the same rate
of speed. If one is revolving much
faster than the other 1t Is difficult to
shift without clashing.
How to Get Good Results.
1t is a mistake, for the above rea-
sons, to let the car gain too great
speed before shifting into higher
combination. The following method
will be found to give coed results
With the throttle closed and the
spark lever about. halfway down the
quadrant, SO that the engine idles
slowly, throw out the clutch and put
the gear shifting in first-speed posi-
tion. Engage the clutch slowly. at
the same time pressing down on the
accelerator pedal gradually. Let the
car attain speed of about four or
Eve miles an hour and then throw out
the clutch, removing the right foot
entirely from the accelerator pedal
Push the lever slightly forward into
neutral position, then clear to the
left and forward into second speed.
Let the clutch in gently, as before.
and accelerate the speed of the car
to about eight or ten miles an hour,
when the clutch should be again dis
engaged, the foot removed from the
accelerator and the gear shifting lev
er pulled straight back into high speed
position.
All of these motions should be made
deliberately without haste.
