The man who takes up the issue
of the Nonpartisan League at this
eleventh hour is like the person who
came out in favor of Gree Silver
in 1896-he is simply trying to re-
surrect political corpse, and which
he will have to apologize for later.
The free silver issue was as popular
in 1892 as the Nonpartisan League
was in 1917. Four years hense a
person will have to excuse himself
for having had anything to do with
Mr.. Townley and his socialistic, vis-
ionary schemes.

developed that tends to cast further
light upon the situation. Andrew
Miller Of Bismarck, who has been
about the Capitol for some time, and
whose sojourn here perhaps has
been indicative of aspirations for the
place, has left Washington osten-
sibly to return to North Dakota He
is said to be on the inside track and
in the opinion of many in North Da-
kota, who have interested themsel-
YES in the matter, is the man likely
to get the place. Seth Richardson,
whose visit here also led to COM
ment associating him with the ap-
pointment, only stayed in the city
about half as long as Mr.. Miller.
Some people might consider this in

is a center for tourists and this is
the logical season for sightseeing.
AS well as for job-seeking.
In the legislative field nothing
new has developed of particular in
terest to the people of the state.
The Young Emergency tariff bill, in
troduced by Congressman George M.
Young at the opening of the present
Congress, has been signed by the
President. This is the first piece Of
major legislation effecting the North
west to any appreciable extent that
has been enacted into law during
the session now underway.
The House is now debating the
rackers-control bill and the bill is
meeting but little opposition. The
packers have seen fit to lift much of
their opposition since the bill took
it's present form and since the senti-
ment of Congress became known to
the extent that passage Of the bill
was an assured possibility. The bill
has been amended by the House
Committee so as to place the enfor-
cement of regulation upon the Sec
retary of Agriculture instead of un-
der the Federal Trade Commission.
This bill should pass this week.
The Sweet bill, to consolidate vari-
Gus government agencies dealing
with soldier relief, is slated to come
up for consideration this week. This
bill is in line with the recommends
tions of the Dawes committee. And
consideration of a permanent tariff
act is likely to begin about June IS.
In the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs the bill to give emer-
gency officers additional compensa-
tion to the amount now received by
disabled officers Of the regular army
is now under discussion. Lieut.. AL
fred G. Bartran of Jamestown, who
was severely wounded while on duty
with the famous yankee" division,
was one of the men to appear in the
interests Of the bill Friday. This
bill has the backing of the American
Legion.

BREAK OF SPRlNGIS
RESULT OF NEGLECT
Clips Work Loose in Spite Of All
Precautions.
Inspection Should Be Made At Least
Once a Month and the Slightest
\ Play Taken Up by Tighten
ina Nuts and Bolts.

Few parts of the car are more i'm
portant and few more neglected than
the springs. 1t is mighty unpleasant
to have a spring break when on tour,
but it is frequent when one gets off
the good highways on to the more Or
less bumpy country roads, according
to III. Clifford Brokaw Of West Side
Y NJ G. A Auto school, New York
city.
Nearly always the breakages are the
result of neglect. In spite of every
precaution the spring clips will work
loose on the majority of cars. This
weakens the spring and it is likely to
break one or more of the spring leaves
or snap off the bolts holding the clip
in place. The spring clips should be
inspected at least once month and
the slightest play should be taken up
by Tightening the nuts. The thread
Of the bolt should be examined for
signs of stripping and where 1t has
begun it is wise to replace the part.
Lock washers will help to keep the
clips tight but their use should not
be regarded as a reason for neglecting
frequent inspection. 1t may be neceS-
sary to put a small strip of leather
under the clips at the small end of
the spring to take up play. Almost in
variably these work loose in time and
need a strip Of leather or some other
soft material to keep them from rat
thing.

tape may be wound around the lower
part of the clip to prevent noise when

make it any larger than necessary to
barely squeeze the car init is good
idea to install guard rails in the cor
ners Of the door opening or little con-
crete or wooden guiding-blocks. If a
piece of husky piping is attached at
each corner it will serve as a guard
against which the tire will strike If
the automobile is run too close to the
doorway. This will either have the
effect of pushing the automobile over
away from the side of the door, or
1t will offer enough obstruction to the
forward movement of the automobile
to warn the driver in time to change
the automobiles position. Obvious
ly, these diagonal pipes would only be
of advantage when entering the
garage, being of no service when back
ing out.
The concrete or wooden blocks,
however, are intended as backing-out
protection, serving to guide the wheels
in the path they should follow In or
der to clear the doorway sufficiently.
They are of no special advantage
when entering the garage, being OPP
posite in their function to the diagonal

GET CAR INTO SHAPE
FOR SUMMER DRIVING
Many Motorists inclined to Over
look Cooling System.
Nothing More Vital to Efficient Opera
tion and Performance of Car
Thorough Cleaning Increases
Efficiency.

While friend wife is enjoying her
annual housekeeping bee and mislay-
ing the furniture, friend husband has
a few jobs that he might sas well get
busy at. According to the calendar
the warm days are in the offing and
will soon be beckoning to the open
ro6d. 1t is the advice of experienced
automobile service men that now Is
the time to give the car thorough
inspection and take the necessary
measures to put it in frst-class shape
for the summer use.
When it comes to overhauling a car
or tuning it up many motorists are in
clined to overlook the cooling system.
This is a mistake, for there is nothing
more vital to efficient operation and
performance. At this time Of year ev-
cry car owner should give the cooling
system, including the radiator, water
jackets, hose and pump, q thorough
cleaning.
the water out of the car, then I'LL up
the radiator with weak solution Of
soda and water. Having done this, let
the engine run for ten minutes or 50.
Then drain off this liquid and replace
it with pure water. Again let the en-
CINE run for a few minutes and again
drain the car. You will then be ready
to fill your radiator for regular use.
This is advantageous because 1t
cleans out the radiator, water jackets,
hose and pump thoroughly, freeing
them from deposits, especially those
left by anti-freezing mixtures used
during the winter, which, if allowed
to remain in the car, would probably
rot the hose and do other damage.
Taking this simple precaution not on
ly extends the life of the car, but pre-
vents future trouble and Increases ef-
f1ciepcy.

CARELESSNESS CAUSES FIRES
Greater Caution Must Be Exercised
by Owners II They Wish to
Keep Cars Intact.

Many an insurance payment has
been sought due to the carelessness Of
the automobile owner when he works
at his machine Allowing leakage Of
gasoline in the garage, smoking
cigar where the "gas" fumes may ex-
plode, letting oil and grease accumu-
late at danger points-near the ex-
haust pipe, for instance. These are
some of the causes of fire on the auto
mobile or in the garage. Great eau
ton should be observed at all times
if the owner wishes to keep his car
and garage intact.

FRUIT CROP SAFE SAYS

was in Delta Friday last and in con-
versation with Independent reporter,
says that so far the fruit will be good.
He phoned the office yesterday after
noon and said that during the week
some slight damage was done in the
Paonia section to peaches, although
apples escaped damage
About this time every year there
are reports that the crop has been
damaged, but usually it turns out that
Delta county has a pretty good crop
after all.
His interview follows:
The fruit n far as have been
able fos1earn is in good shape and
there will be virtually a full crop of
everything with the exception of
sweet cherries and apricots and the
acreage devoted to these two varie.
ties is very small. Peaches are in
splendid shape. Apples in the Paonia
district are in a most excellent condi.
tion for this time of the year The
thermometer has registered 2S and "a
above.
"Cedaredge has experienced TEN.
perature as low as %. This. however
is only in places. Peaches are in bet.
ter shape than apples. The crop as a
whole in that section may be put
down as good. Rogers mesa as a
whole is good. The upper end of the
mesa has been hit and fruit will be
scattering to some extent.
IF the crop escaped some frost we
would be compelled to thin. which
would be most expensive. CONSIDERING
the season, / believe, we are in splen-
did shape"
