We Know Batteries
Like a Book!

Repairing batteries may look easy
but it isn'tl
To be successful, a repair man has to
know just how to handle the plates that
hold the active material that keeps life in
the battery. He has to know how to take
care Of the insulators tslat keep the plates
apart. He has to know when it is cheaper
for you to buy new battery than to have
the old one repaired. N
Bring your battery in to Headquarters
no matter whether it's Willard or not.
Well tell you what it needs, if anything,
how much the cost will be-and whether
repairs will pay or not.

To Help The Farmer
IHepubIIcan a. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The pro-
posaI of Henry Ford for purchase and
tease of the government properties at
Muscle Shoals, which was embodied
In contract form by the war depart
ment and forwarded today to him for
signature, was praised today in the
senate by Senator McKelIar. Demo-
crat or Tennessee, who declared ac-
ceptance of the offer means cheaper
FERTILIZER for the farmers and up
building of great section of the
country"
The senator attacked the National
Fertilizer association, which he said
was engaged in spreading hostile
propaganda throughout the country
bearing on the Ford offer. The pol-
icy of the fertilizer association with
respect to the Ford offer, he de-
clared, ought to be condemned by
every right thinking man"
Senator Mcclellan read into the rec
ord the text of the original Ford pro-
posal, in order, he said, that the coun-
try may know exactly the terms pro-
posed. This offer provided in brief
for completion Of the Wilson dam by
the government to 100000 horsepower
capacity to be leased by the Ford
company for 100 years upon payment
or per cent annually for the esti-
mated cost at figure of SEQ 600. 600
II also proposed a similar lease on the
number three dam and power project
at an estimated cost of ss,0oo,o 900.

Livestock producers under one plan
would have their paper discounted

CAVE CREEK DAM
Litigation Over Site Settled
And Contractor To Ar
rive Monday To Sign
Contract To Build Dam

Lynn Atkinson, Jr., whose bid for
constructing the Eastwood type null
tiple arch dam on Cave creek was
accepted by the board of control, will
arrive in Phoenix Monday to sign
the contract. This word was re-
ceived by V. A. Thompson. chairman
Of the board of control, yesterday,
after a complete settlement had been
reached with mining concerns inter-
ested in property on the dam site.
After a meeting last week. when
all engineers representing the va
rious intrests behind the building of
the dam approved plans submitted by
Atkinson, the contractor returned to
his offices in Oakland. Calf. without
signing the proffered contract. He
explained that he did not desire to
enter into a contract to build a dam
on ground that was being disputed.
Cave creek condemnation litigation
was brought to an end outside the
court yesterday morning. All parties
involved met in a friendly discussion
of the problems and decided it would
be needless waste of time and
money to carry the differences into
court. The case had been set for
nearing DeIore Judge Q. j. Baughn at
Florence. An agreement was reached
yesterday which satisfied all parties
concerned and Atkinson was imme-
diately notified of the .esult.
His answer to the effect that he
will be here to sign the contract next
Monday is regarded by interested
parties to mean that work will begin
within very short time.
Practically all money necessary for
building the protective dam is now
available. only $4,000 of the sub
scribed $35O,O00 remaining to be con-
tributed.

PEKING, Jan. 24.-President Hsu-
Shih Chang today announced he had
granted a leave of absence to Premier
Liang Shih-Yi and appointed DR.. w.
w. Yen, foreign minister, acting
premier.
The belief is generally expressed
that the president will be obliged to
accept the resignation of Liang Shih
vi at the end of the Chinese year on
account of the pressure Of General
Wu Pei-Fu, inspector general of the
provinces of Human and Hupeh. The
aim of the general is believed to be
control OF politics and. even an at
tempt to solve the question of unfit
cation. The quarrel between the
Mukden and Chill parties is not ex-
pected to develop into a crisis. The
Mukden party is silent in the fact of
the challenge OF the Chilli group.
This is believed to be due to the fact
that thus far the agreement of the
foreign governments not to sell arms
to china is effective and that Muk-
den has no hope Of securing foreign
arms and munitions. therefore would
be unable to cope with Chilli which
at the present time has three
arsenals.

way has begun.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-Treasury
opposition to a soldier bonus remains

bonus it must be provided through
taxation in addition to taxes imposed
by existing law, Secretary Mellon de-
clared tonight in a letter to Chair
man Fordney of the house ways and
means committee Any attempt 20
provide for the bonus through use
OF the principal and interest of the
foreign debt, he contended. would
be futile as well as unwise."
The letter was in resuonse TO a re-
quest from Mr.. Fordney for an eX-
preston of the views of the secre-
tary and the treasury department on
the governmental financial outlook and
for suggestions as TO legislation.
Submitting estimates of govern
ment receipts and expenditures for
the fiscal years Of 1929 and 1923. and
the treasury plan for refunding the
short dated debt, Mr.. Mellon de-
clared no allowance has been made
for extraordinary expenditures for a
solciers' bonus which would cost on
the most conservative estimates. he
said. probably not less than $3.50. .000,-
600 in the first two years.
Inc tlgureS, he said, show that
there will be no available surplus
btu more probably deficit and that
with the enormous refunding opera
tions the treasury has to conduct, il
would be dangerous to attempt to
finance the eXenditures involved In
the bonus through new borrowings.
The position of the treasury remains
unchanged, but if there is to be a
bonus, it is clear that it must be pro-
vided through taxation
On the other hand, no indirect
means of financing the bonus would
make it any less an expense to be
borne in the long run by the tax
payer, he declared, taking up the pro-
posal 20 use the foreign debt as
