Postmaster General Hays Tells
Congress, Appropriation
Exhausted-Scrvice May
Cease Next Tuesday.
High Officials in Omaha

Washington, May 24.-Funds fol
airplane mail service from New York
to San Francisco are almost ex'
hausted, Postmaster General Hays
today advised congress and service
must be suspended May 81, lacking q
deficiency appropriation of $l25,000
Under treasury ruling appropri-
ations for railway service cannot
be used for the air service, Mr.. Hays
said, and curret appropriations OF
$l,250,000 for transcontinental air
route will not last beyond this
month.
Air mail officials in Omaha yester.
day expressed no great surprise al
Postmaster General Hays announce
ment to congress that the transcon-
tinental service must cease next week
unless further appropriations are
made.
Maj. E. c. Zoll, general superin-
tendent of the entire air mail service
was in Omaha yesterday on his way
to Washington from a tour of in
spection over the western divisions
of the route.
With him was Carl Egge of Mime
apolis, superintendent of service. Mr..
Egge declined to discuss the Hays
prediction of curtailment of service
in the presence of his chief, Major
Zoll.
II have realized the seriousness
of the situation a long timc," Said
Major Zoll. -
Postmaster General Hays is not
over-emphasizing the situation.
'In fact, | wasn't sure that the
service would be able to last through
May"
Major Zoll declined to predict
whether congress would accede to
the appeal of the postmaster general
and put through further appropria-
tions.
Its hard to tell" said he.
Urges Citizen Drive.
But he urged the private citizens
of the country to open an immediate
campaign by telegraph and by letter
to their congressman to take action
necessary to save the air mail serv-
ice if they do not want to see it
abandoned just on the verge of over
whelming success.
William |. Votaw, superintendent
of the Omaha air mail station at
Ak-Sar-Ben field, also declared he
was not surprised to learn of the
probable curtailment of service on
May 81.
"We have been running on a most
strict economy basis at this station
for some time" he admitted.
President Harding, however, has
funds from which he may draw in
such all emergency, Superintendent
Votaw declared to be his impression.
81 remember" he continued,
when l was in the censorship serv-
ce along the Mexican border.
I'VE ran short OF funds and Pres
ident Wilson drew from his reserve
supply enough to tide us over the
stringency until congress saw fit to
make another appropriation"
No official word or orders have
been received at the Omaha station
yet regarding closing down the serv-
ice May 81, Mr.. Votaw declared.

CLEANING CAR
NOW FINE ART
Using Modern Methods Owner
May Keep His Machine Look
ing New all the Time.
WASHING NOT CASUAL JOB
Large Sponge sopped Against Surface
So That Water TrickIes Down Is
Best Way-Use chamois for
Polishing.

The last two or three years have
brought a very remarkable develop
ment in American body building. The
mechanism of the modern motor car
has reached an approximate degree
of perfection, leaving the manufac-
turers free to devote more time to in
creasing the attractiveness of the
vehicle. The present day American
a as 1t leaves the factory is really
a thing of beauty with the highly
polished surfaces and shiny metal.
Naturally this has induced the owner
to take more pride In keeping up the
appearance of the gasoline 'steed. The
result is that cleaning methods and
equipment have greatly advanced over
those of a few ear back.
Easy to Keep Clean.
The present day owner using mod
ern methods may keep his car looking
new all the time, o will he have to
spend more than a few moments a day
to accomplish this end. For instance,
there are now on the market a num-
Der of liquid and wax polishes which
will give admirable results II they are
used as directed.
In the use Of wax pollshes the first
step is to clean the body of the car
thoroughly. The polish is applied to
the surface with a piece of cheese
cloth and then another clean cloth is
used to distribute the wax evenly all
over the surface. Car owners com
monty make the mistake of thinking
that the more wax applied the better.
As a matter of fact a very thin film is
all that is needed.
Washing the car is not the casual
Job some owners seem to imagine. To
begin with. the car should be washed
Immediately after II has been dirty. II
mud Is allowed to remain on the var
nished surface more than n day II Is
difficult to eradicate 1t. For the wash
Ing plain water should be used. neither
too hot nor to cold. about 80 degrees
Fahrenheit being the proper tempera-
ture. A large sponge soaked in clear
water and then sopped against the sur
face so that the water trickles down
Is best. Never turn a stream of water
at high pressure on the body.
Use chsmois for Drying.
In drying the body a clean chamois
skin should-be used, rubbing being done
in straight lines. If spots OF tar or
road oil are found on the body 1t is
best to treat them with salt butter or
kerosene. The butter softens the de-
posit so that II may be wiped Of easily.

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Animals Need Protection Against
Dampness as Well as From Cold
During the Winter.

For the benefit Of farmers who are
wintering a flock of sheep for the
first time this year, the Nebraska Col
lege OF Agriculture offers the follow
Ing Suggestions: A good well-venti-
lated shelter is necessary, not so much
for protection against the cold as
against dampness. The fleece will
keep the sheep warm If 1t is dry. A
good shed open on the south will serve
the purpose until Landing time, when
n warm barn Is necessary If the wealth
er is at all cold. After the corn
is shucked the sheep can run in the
stalks In good weather, with corn
sllage or alfalfa fed In limited guam
titles. A little fodder may be fed in
stead Of sllage, but sheep seem to do
better where some kind of ~succulent
feed, such as silage. roots. pumpkins
and the like Is a part OF their ration.
Very little or nc grain Is needed up

FINISH CATTLE FOR MARKET
Farmer viii Find It Profitable to
Practice "Feedins" Before Offering
Them for Sale.

II Is customary for the farmer who
has only n few head Of cnttle to sell
them TO the local buyer, and after
being shipped to some central point,
and after passing through several
hands, they are sometimes found on
the farm Of n nelghbor, who makes
feeding a business, being finished for
market. In a series Of years the farm
or who feeds makes more money than
the farmer who does not feed. While
there are losses on the operation some
years. there are big profits other years.
On the average Of years the operation
Is profitable.

PLAN TO AVOID HOG CHOLERA
Highly Contagious Disease Can often
Be Prevented by Using SIM
Pile Precautions,

Ifrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Recently an instance was brought to
the attention of the United States De
partment of Agriculture where hog

members of a "threshing ring" The
infection on all six farms was traced
to the premises of one of the members

he delayed calling a veterinarian until
after the threshing was finished. AS n

the Infection was carried to his neigh
bors' herds.
1t Is a common practice for farmers
to borrow and loan farm implements
and exchange labor when they are
threshing. Smelling old corn. filling
silos and hauling stock and grain to
market. Farmers are advised to read
Farmers Bulletin 1874, Hog Cholera,
especially the discussion of modes of
infection with hog cholera.
"Threshing rings" are quite popular
and no doubt under present conditions
crops can be handled speedily and
economically in this way, but the dan
ger of carrying hog cholera from In
fected hog lots should be kept in mind
and precautions taken to avoid it. In
the Instance cited the thresher was
set In the hog lot, although 1t was
known at the time that some of the
hogs were sick.
1t is much safer to thresh grain in
the field and avoid driving into In
closure where hogs are kept. If driv-
ing through the hog lots Is unavoid-
able, the members of the "threshing
ring are advised to rinse their shoes
in a disinfectant and remove their
overalls; also wash their horses feet
and legs and the wheels of the wagon
with the disinfectant before returning
TO their own premises, and especially
their hog lots. Hog cholera is a high
ly contagious disease and often losses

ened.

There Is no excuse for a noisy au-
tomobile. Only carelessness and lack
of attention can account for squeaks
in any car. The automobile that pass
es you, carrying its own band is a re-
Election on the owner and he may be
set down as thoughtless. Some
times it Is hard to find a squeak, but
that does not mean that it is hard to
find the big Ones" says a prominent
dealer. 1.-THE one and only enemy of
h squeak is the oil can and the sin
gle enemy of the rattle is the wrench.
Keep the car frightened up and the
parts creased sufficiently and your car
will run as silently and smoothly af-
ter a years use as the day you bought
1t.
1T is not necessary to be everlast-
ingly at ii. But it is necessary to see
that all parts are creased regularly.
If you ave a driver see that he takes
care of the car properly, that he goes
over 1t carefully all the time n
greases and oils it when he should.
If you drive and care for your own
car you must grease 1t and oil it reg
ularly. Take the oiling chart and
make it a rule to do your work at
stated intervals.
Keep the car fabricated. 1t will

VIII Crooks. as he was affcctonately
known. was ono Of the leaders in the
great labor movement and ono Of the
dominant figures in England. He was
born in a London slawi. Poplar. in
1852, and started work when only nine
years old His father had beer injured
when the boy was scarcely more than
n baby. and tho family was forced to
move to the workhouse. But at the age
cf nine the boy picked up odd jobs about
the docks and was soon supporting his
mother.
In 1866 he became apprenticed to a
cooper, learned the, coopcring trade and
took out his first union card. In the
