DANCE ~HALLsYIELDS
TIMBER FOR CHURCH
Pulpit Is Made From Top.
of Old Bar.

Durango, COlO.-The old Greek
saying "out Of bad wood good smoke
sometimes comes was applied here
when a community tabernacle and
its parsonage were built out Of tim
bers and materials taken from a once
notorious gambling resort and dance
hall and from an erstwhHe brewery.
The tabernacle, built by the Free
Methodist church, was recently dedi-
Gated. It's altar rail- was made Of
part Of the bar against which the
lumberjacks, miners, eOwpunchers,
Mexicans and gamblers of forty years
ago used to lean. The bars fOot-rail
was converted into the hand-rail Of
the steps leading into the church. A
Bible 10 rests on the polished wal
nut where the liquor Of the early days
was placed, for, the-tOp of the bar has
become the pulpit. The altar was con-
structed from other parts of the bar.
The church rests on a foundation
Of stone, heavy timbers and iron
beams taken from both the dance
hall and the brewery. The window
stills and Lodges were made from the
heavy oak bottoms of huge beer watts.
The building occupies the site Of
the former brewery. It is situated at
the foot of a bluff and is overlooked
! by the parsonage of the presiding
elder of the district. The parsonage
once was the office of the brewery and
has been made info n modern cottage.
! It is planned to terrace the bluff and
to build winding stairs from the eA
der's home to the house of worship,
using as a hand-rail n coil formerly
utilized in making beer.
The two steps that lead to the en-.
trance Of the tahernacle were formed

OF WEST 70 GET HALF MILLION
from AGRICULTURAL CREDIT CORPORATION

Plans fer the 1926 campaign Of the
Agricultural Credit corporation, an
nounced by A. P. Kemp, president,
provide for the distribution of $780,
900 in the Northwest. A continue
ton of the program through which
5000 dairy animals and $4,000 sheen
were placed en- farms in the several
states is planned.
In a letter to county agents in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Montana, the corporation says:
Purchase Dairy Stock
CAS- weather conditions will permit
socn the safe shipment of livestock,
we are completing arrangements for
financing of purchase of dairy ami
mails. The general plan of operation
will be practically the same as last
years. While this corporation was
organized for relief purposes, it must
net be considered a government agen-
cy or semi-charitable institution. Al
though its policy has been liberal and
generous in granting of credit, the
corporation cannot depart from sound
business principles and must make
safe loans, as the funds in its charge
belong to individuals and corpora
tions, who are entitled to receive re-
payment of their money, with at least
moderate interest return"
Interest Rate
The interest to be charged this year
on dairy cattle loans continues on a
basis of 6 per cent per annum. In
stallments On the principal Of the
loans to be made during the com.ng
sspring and summer are to be paid as
follows: 10 per cent by Novemb-r /
1925; 20 per cent by November 1, 1925
80 per cent by November 1, 1927, anC
40 per cent by November 1, 1928. A

cattle to be shipped a farmer, and Z
similar charge cf $3.50 for animal!
bought in his own community will
be made, continuing the 1924 arrange

majority of the farmers who cough
cattle last year have made a sue

have shown that they are not quail

BY continually demonstrating his
familiarity with the controls, he
plainly shows that he does not fully
understand the mechanical make
up OF his car nor the effect his
acts have upon its potential long
and service-free life.
The brakes of your car, properly
adjusted are adequate to cause the
wheels to slide on dry pavement.
But only a serious emergency
should call for stop Of this kind.
Apply the brakes gradually and
with the gasoline throttle fully re-
tarded, leaving the clutch engaged
until the speed OF the car drops
below five orssix miles per hour.
An idling motor has a braking
efefct down to that speed and will
contribute much to a smooth stop.
The driver who anticipates most
OF his stops so that he can let
his motor do it's share in retarding
the cars speed will boost the mile
age Of his tires and his brake
lining.
He will also form habit that
Will serve him in good stead in

Keep Off the Clutch
Keep your foot off the clutch
pedal, except, of course, when tile
clutch is being operated. Other
wise you win constantly be finding
yourself pressing 1t hard enough to
let 1t. slip. The clutch is so exactly
designed that the slightest amount
Of pressure is often enough to re-
lease it.
A slipping clutch will wear and
waste power. The clutch should
only be slipped in getting the car
under way.
Do not race the engine without
a load to test 1t. A free engine
and one that Is propelling the car
operate under entirely different
conditions. This practice may have
a destructive effect upon the motor.
Do not let the engine labor; shift
gears when necessary.
Do not drive fast in rounding
corners or turning around, particu-
iArly when driving on well.worn
tires.
When turning a corner fast, the
weight OF the car shifts from a
straight forward pull on the tires
to an an lar or cross-wise strain,
which TIL res cannot withstand as
readily. item a. tire which will
run thousand miles or more if
