REPUBLICANS LOSING IN MAINE

If the recent election in Maine is
forecast of the fall elections for
Congressman the Democrats OF the
country should be encouraged. The
Republican majority was reduced
from 1882 in 1920 to 5000. Maine
has been almost solidly Republican
since the days when the statement
"hell bent for Governor Kent" y
Democratic member of Congress re-
fcrring to the recent election in
Maine sail that it was fine showing
for a rock-ribbed Republican section
noted for the stability of its voters.
With these tremendous changes talk
ing place in Republican strongholdS
We can only infer that still greater
changes are taking place in the liberal
and progressive sections elsewhere,
logically forccasting a Democratic
congressional victory at the fall cleo
tions.

IL would rather lose third Of my
army than to have Frank Gruard
killed." once declared Gen. Frank
Crook, and when this great Indian
fighter set such higS value on the
services of scout it meant that
Frank Gruard was without peer.
Gruurd was born in Tahiti in 1850,
the son of an American trader and a
native woman. His father returned
TO this country when Frank was but
two years old and at the age Of fif-
teen Frank ran away from home and
went to Morxana.
Gruard becHrss mail carrier,
dangerous job i'm country full of hos
tile Sioux. They captured him finally
and were preparing to kill him when
6 young brave pleaded for his life.
Calling their attention to Franks
swarthy complexion he declared that
the mail carrier must be an Indian
who had been captured by the whites.
This Indian was the renowned Sit
ting Bull. For 10 months Gruard was
guarded closely and, realizing the use
leSSness of attempting to escape. he
learned the Sioux tongue and entered
into the Indian life as one of them.
He lived with the Indians six years
before he finally escaped.
one day Gruard was scouting for
an officer who attempted to guide his
command by use of the compass. They
became lost In q binding snow storm
Frank borrowed the officers compass,
smashed 1t against rock. and then.
tnking the lead, he guided the soldiers
straight to the place they wished to

Gruards greatest exploit was his
part in the "Sibley Scout" In 1876.
Lieut.. $. w. Sibley was sent out on n
scout to find the Indians. He found
them, and In short time his little
command was surrounded by hun
dreds of Sioux and Cbeyenncs. After
a desperate fight in which the Chey-
enne chief, White Antelope, was
killed, the soldiers were forced to
abandon their horses and attempt es.

Gruard's knowledge of the country
was all that saved them. He led
them over unknown mountain trails.

around high peaks, until the Indians
Tere outdistanced. The next day he
guided them to high point on a

Frank Gruard was given a lifetime
position as a government scout and
he performed valuable services In the
last uprising of the Sioux, the Ghost

JAPAN BEGINS TO SCRAP

Japan is one of the first nations to
begin scrapping her navy in accor-
dance with the action of the recent
naval treaty conference held in Wash
ington. The vessels will be as targets
by the Japanese navy. 1t is u safe bet
that the japanese will keep in prac-
tice and will keep few vessels that
they can use if an emergency arises.
The Japs are long headed citizens

1t is well t. note tha. two opposite

School Association in promoting a
series of countrywide conferences on
country life and rural betterment. A
number of these conferences have
been held already and others are be-
ing planned. Those that have been
held already and others are being
planned. Those that have been held
have been very successful, the atten-
dance and representation gratifying
and the programme considered help
full and inspiring.
According to Leon C. Palmer of
Spartanburg, superintendent of the
South Carolina Sunday School AS
sociation, the spirit of the movement
is cooperative and all sectarian lines
and sectarian interests are forgotten.
Church and Sunday School workers,
public school teachers, farmers and
the wives of farmers compose the
meetings. The luncheon hour is a So
cial occasion and marked by much
good fellowship. The aim of these
conferences says Mr.. Palmer is "To
make agriculture profitable, home
work attractive, social life helpful,
education efficient, and religion vi
tall"
Among those who will take part in
these conferences are: DR.. w. W.
Long, director of the extension ser
vice at Clemson College; Miss Chris

OUR WAsAiNcToN LETTER

Washington, ID. c.. Mar. 25.-Tbt
House has at last passed another bon-
us bill, though almost identical in
form with the one passed two years
ago and which the Senate laid on the
shelf at Harding's request. 1t remains
to be seen what will be done with the
present bill, with all of Wall Street
opposing it. The bill itself is satisfac-
tory to no one. The soldier whose .ad-
justed compensation" entitled him to
less than $50 can get it in cash; the
others have to take q certificate of
indebtedness which finally becomes
due in 20 years. Meanwhile, if he
wants to get money, he has to borrow
it at bank and pay a larger rate of
interest than the certificate bears,
though the certificate is as much the
obligation of the government as is a
Liberty Bond and should cntitle the
owner to the lowest rate of interest
at which money can be borrowed. 1t
is difficult to understand why the SOL
dier should be allowd to borrow ONLY
30 per cent. Of the face value OF the
certificate; almost any banl; will lend
10 per cent. of the market value of a
certificate of stock in a railroad OF
industrial corporation if the stock is
listed on the New York EXCHANGE
though these stocks at times nuctuatc
wildly, and, of course, have much less
stable value than the obligation of the

of great activity in practically all
counties and great headway has been
made. Over 100000 bales have been
signed during this month and the ma
chinery has been perfected for the
great drive which is expected to bring
victory next month.
During the month of March bank
ers, preachers. lawyers, doctors and
teachers have joined with the farm
ers in making speeches over the state
in behalf of the movement. The plans
and purposes of the association have
been explaind in every cotton grow
ing county of the state.
Last week was great week in many
of the counties. Marlboro has now
signed up 26,445 bales; Darlington,
1880 bales; and Sumter, 1900
bales. These are the three leading
counties. Lee county comes fourth
with 1897 bales and Dillon is only
100 bales behind her. The four lead
ing counties have signed up over TO-
900 bales or more than one-siXth of
the quota for the whole state. These
four counties expect to sign total
of 100000 cr one-fcurth of the quota
FOR the whole state before May 1 =.
Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson

are cvrecta to e;cn up another IC0.-

enthusiasm everywhere. The bankers
and business men, realizing that the
prosperity of the state is dependent
TO great degree upon the formation
of the association are throwing them
selves actively into the fight.

PROPER CARE OF
MOTOR BATTERY
Corroded Terminals Are FIRE.
quentIy Source Of Trouble,
Says Prof. BrokaW.
FLOW OF CURRENT RETARDED
After corrosion Has Formed Best Way
to Get Rid Of It Is to Serape the
Terminals Until There is
BRIGHT Lead Finish.

Corroded terminals are the CHIEF
source of battery trouble. according
to FL. Clifford Brokaw, technical direc-
tor Of the West Side Y. M. G. A. Auto
mobile schools. He explains that
occasionally the self-starter will not
work while the lights, horn and igni
ton operate smoothly.
"This condition may be traced" he
adds ito corroded or poorly fitting
battery terminals which will only al
low a sufficient amount of current to
pass to operate the lights and horn.
AS the starting motor takes larger
amount of current, the resistance may
be great enough to prevent 1t from
operating.
To. Remove corrosion.
"Corrosion is formed by the action
of the electrolyte or acid In the bat
terry. After 1t has formed, the most
satisfactory way to get rid of 1t Is to
scrape the terminals until there Is a
bright lead finish. Washing the ter
ninals with ammonia or some other
alkaline solution will neutralize any
acid that may be present and prevent
corrosion. When such washing Is
done, care should be taken that none
Of this solution gets into the battery.
"After the terminals have been
scraped and the parts assembled care
should be taken to see that the ter
minals make contact for the full area
of their surface. A firm and full con-
tact Is required to supply the amount
Of current for the starting motor.
Some motorists coat the terminals
with vaseline or other grease to pre-
vent the acid from coming In contact
with the joint.
Lights Burn Out Entirely.
IF the corrosion becomes too great
or IL the contact from any other rea-
son becomes poor. the lights are apt
to fare up to excessive brightness, and
IL the contact Is so poor that no cur
rent can pass or If the wire should
become disconnected from the bat
terry, the lights will burn out entirely
In most systems. This Is because the
generator which charges the battery
is designed to deliver sufficient cur
rent to charge the battery at low
speed, and when the engine is speed
ed up it will deliver more than is nee
essary. The system Of regulating
the voltage in most cases is such that
the battery plays an important part
in keeping the voltage from rising to
a point where 1t will burn out the
lights and damage other parts
Casually about the only attention
battery requires is to keep the plates
covered with an electrolyte by adding
distilled water. Water containing
minerals might damage the battery or
at least interfere with Its proper ac-
tion."

SUGARLESS CANNING

All fruits may be canned sue
cessfully for future use without
the use of sugar. by adding hot
water, or, better still, hot fruit
juice instead of hot sirups, the
United States Department of
Agriculture finds. Hot-water
products can hardly be expected
to be as good, either in texture
or in flavor, as are those capned
in sirup. But fruits canned in
their own juices are often high
ly satisfactory for jelly making,
pie filling, salads and other uses,
particularly If they are very ripe
and, sweet. For instance,
peaches, naturally high in sugar
content, may seem as sweet
when canned without sugar as
do acid peaches canned in 40
per cent sirup.

You AUTO KNOW

That ordinary soap should not
be used on the highly polished
surface of the body Of the car,
because soap usually contains
free alkali or I've which enables
it to cut the dirt and grease
loose, but, at the same time, in
jures the vanished surface and
wears off the attractive gloss
which is the pride Of the new car
owner.
The best method is to use a
hose alone, removing the nozzle
so that the flow of water comes
out slowly and does not tear the
grit against the gloss of the car.
If hose is not available. a large
sponge and pail Of water may
be used. but care should be
taken to rinse the sponge after
practically every stroke, In order
to avoid scratching the finish.

be sticky, but sufficiently oily to
impart luster without catch
