As I went down town this morning
I saw a standing motor car mere and
there trying to keep its hood and
radiator warm under a flappy old
auto-robe, or q faded out comfort,
and with the sharp wind blowing it
wasn't much use
Occasionally the waiting motor was
serenely snug under the well fitting
protection OF hood and radiator COW
ers.
How about your car? Is It ready to
give you the same good and faithful
serv@ce now as it did in the summer ?
1t hasn't a chance If you don't do
your part by equipping it with hood
and radiator covers.

Twin Falls, Idaho.--Mrs Kate Rich
ards O'Hare, widely known Socialist
writer and lecturer. who was released
from federal prison by President VIII

of sentence for violation of the es-

Twin Falls home of III. H. Friedheim,
her sponsor for lecture which she
was to deliver, by party Of dozen
or more unknown men
Mrs. 0'Hare arrived at Twin Falls
with her daughter, coming from Vale,
Ore, where she spoke recently. At
Vale she received a telegram from
Friedheim to the effect that the coun-
ty and city authorities had warned
him that Mrs. O'Hare coming here
would be likely to result in dangerous
consequences and advised him to pre-
vail on her to cancel the engagement.
Mrs. O'Hare's reply, as given to Fried
helm, was to the effect that she would
stand upon her constitutional rights;
that she had been threatened before,
and that nothing had ever come Of it,
and finally that "a barking dog doesn't
bite"
Feeling in Twin Falls against Mrs.
O'Hare, who has spoken there on two
different occasions, has been running
high, according to the. authorities.
Resolutions opposing her appearance
were adopted by numerous patriotic
and civic organizations.

feurs and other automobile operators
who carry passengers from cities and
towns of Mexico into cities and
towns of Texas are subject TO pay
the license required Of such operat-
ors in Texas, according to an opinion
recently given by the attorney gen

county attorney of HI Paso, who had
asked regarding the operation Of
''jitneys" FROM Juarez, Mexico, into
FL Pasp, Texas.
The ''jitney" drivers carried
passengers only from Juarez TO +
Paso and did not solicit passenger

''jitney" drivers were in the Mex
ican city and they were charged with
the license tax there.
The attorney general held tha
such drivers must pay license ta2

materials are concerned. He has had
options on material stocks. both ties
and steel for some time, and II ready
TO issue shippings instructions as

is probable that the estimate Of some
months ago which contemplated
the expenditure Of $I35,00 in stand
ardizing the road has been material
ly changed as a result Of reduced
cost Of labor and materials. Ties are
at least thirty per cent cheaper, and
steel is also costing less. He express
sed the belief that the $4,000 Of n
few months ago will be equivalent
to $4,000 at this time, with
chances that costs may go still lower
as construction proceeds.
