GET CAR INTO SHAPE
FOR SUMMER DRIVING
Many Motorists Inclined to 0veT-
look Cooling System.
Nothing More Vital to Efficient Opera.
ton and Performance Of Car
Thorough Cleaning Increases
Efficiency.

While friend wife is enjoying her
annual housecleaning bee and mislay-
ing the furniture, friend husband has
a few jobs that he might as well get
busy at. According to the calendar
the warm days are in the of6ng and
will soon be beckoning to the open
road. 1t is the advice of experienced
automobile service men that now Is
the time to give the car a thorough
inspection and take the necessary
measures to put it in first-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-
ery ear owner should give the cooling
system, including the radiator, water
jackets, hose and pump, thorough
cleaning.
The best way to do this is to drain
the water out of the car, then fill up
the radiator with a weak solution OF
soda and water. Having done this, let
the engine run for ten minutes or so.
Then drain off this liquid and replace
it with pure water. Again let the en-
CINE run for few minutes and again
drain the car. You will then be ready
to I'LL your radiator for regular use.
This is advantageous because it
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.
" extends the life Of the car, but pre-
vents future trouble and increases ef-
f1ciency.

women NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the ether or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

CARELESSNESS CAUSES FIRES
Greater Caution Must Be Exercised
by Owners If 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
tion should be observed at all times
if the owner wishes to keep his car
and garage intact.

SPLINTER MARKS FAR NORTH
Little Peninsula Extending Into Lake

American Territory.

Many Americans have worried about
4 stubby little peninsula which extends
from Canada into the Lake Of the
Woods north Of the forty-ninth paral-
lei, which marks the established bound
ary between Canada and the United
States from the Lake Of the Woods to
Puget sound.
This small area, chopped off from
Canada and surrounded on three sides
by the waters of the Lake of the
Woods, belongs to the United States.
Disregarding Alaska, it is the north
ernmost land Of the American republic.
No map shows any town or village
in the remote and isolated region. 1t
appears merely as trackless forest

Now it is indicated that there is a
village in this forgotten enclave, for
post Office has been established at Pc
nasse, and weekly mail service is
maintained. During the winter the
service will be by hoIse and sleigh
across the ice of the lake.
In the summer a motorboat will be

The centenary Of the death Of Ma

To Figure Spud Costs

Man labor, horse labor, fertiliZ-
ers and seed constitute about so
per cent of the total cost of potato
production in average practice, &C
cording to Investigations by u. S.
Department of Agriculture experts
in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
New York and Maine. These items
can easily be ascertained by any
farmer who wishes to keep check
on farm profits, and is a simple
problem, using them as a basis, to
find out the total operating expens-
es, including overhead, taxes, etc.
To this must be added the charge
for use Of land to get the total cost.
Labor and material costs are
found by multiplying the number of
man and team hours by the pre-
vailing local rate and adding fer
tilizer costs (manurc at approx
mately S1.50 per toni and seed at
current market price at time of
planting, whether purchased or pro-
duced at home. Since these costs
are, roughly, 80 per cent of oper-
ating expenses, the total expense,
including spraying, machinery. and
storage, taxes, insurance and over
head expense, may easily be iig-
ured. In estimating the use Of land
the local cash rent basis should be
used, if available, and, if not, the
