Low Temperature Job

Anything that you want exception
ally tight on the car should be at
tended to when that part is as cold
as it is ever likely to be. A lot of
things on a car develop leaks be-
cause they are frightened up in the
warm garage or while the engine is
hot. When the car is left out in the
cold the parts contract. the seal is
not perfect and the leaks start.

ONLY TWO
CONTROLS

Only two controls still remain on
the steering wheel of prominent
motor car manufacturer, but they
are not the same controls that once
rested there.
An automatic spark advance, which
gives to the engine itself the task of
regulating the timing of the spark
in accord with the speed of the en-
CINE, has taken the old-time spark
advance lever off the wheel. The
throttle still remains.
In place of the spark lever, the
entire lighting control has been put
on the wheel, right at the drivers
finger tips, so he can dim his lights
without taking his eyes from the
road at critical moment when to
do so might mean piling his car and
his passengers into the ditch.
1t is just one more Of present day
Improvements in car manufacture,
designed to add to the convenience
and safety Of driving.

He Stopped His Car
Right Next to Track
Zip, Went Wheels

Just what speeding train will do
when you park your automobile right
next to it is now fully understood by
a man who got away with remark
able stunt at Norwood Monday.
He had heard about those "Stop,
Look and Listen" signs, so when he
came to the track he stopped his car.
But the "look" part of the invitation
had made a profund impression on
him, SO strong an impression that he
parked his car a matter of inches
from the rail and then proceeded to
look at silk train that was coming
toward him at the rate of 55 miles an
hour. He got an eye-full, and so did
the other man and two children who
shared the front seat with him, not to
mention their wives and several adj
ditional children who were in the back
seat. Hurrying from Seattle east
ward this particular trainload of silk
didn't hesitate at Norwood. The en-
gineer saw the automobile full of peo-
pie, knew his engine was certainly go
ing to do things to the gas buggy but
was powerless to stop the thousand
tons or SO that was pushing along
right behind him.
1t might have been whole lot
worse. The front wheels, fender and
part of the works were clipped nicely
out of that automobile as smooth as
silk, and the front part of the body
just dropped gently to the ground
while the passengers got a closeup
view of the rest of the train. No one
was hurt, but Enginee Skoberg's
nerves aren't what they used to be.
There are still folks who think
Safety First" campaigns are not
needed And others wonder where a
railroad man acquires such fluent
line of cuss-words. AS The News goes
to press it is not known whether or
not the railroad company will be ask
ed. to pay for damage done to the
automobile.

Governor Calls On
People of State to
Observe ArbOr Day

Annual observance Of Arbor Day
and Bird Day in Minnesota has been
proclaimed for Friday, May 1, by
Governor Christianson. The procla-
nation follows:
"Long before we awake to the dam
ger of the total depletion of our for
ests, we had established the custom Of
observing one day annually as Arbor
Day. The primary thought in the ear
ly Arbor Day celebrations was the
planting of trees for the shelter and
Identification of the homes that were
being built on the plains of the CEN
trail states.
As we saw our forests rapidly dis
appear and we began to realize that
our present forestry methods would
result in the destruction of our tim
Der supply in a few decades, Arbor
day took on a new meaning.
Therefore, I, Theodore Christian
son, Governor of Minnesota, do here
by designate Friday, May 1, as Arbor
and Bird day, and urge that it be OBJ
served throughout the state.
"It might be well ifson Arbor day,
we adhere to the original purpose OF
that day and give special thought to
the Identification of our immediate
surroundings, by planting trees and
shrubbery around our schoolhouses
our homes, and wherever possible
around the places we work. But DUR
ing the entire week, let us give
thought to the larger aspect of the
forestry problem. Let US, in our
school and in other public gatherings
study the need of protecting our for
ests from fire and other needless
waste and let us give thought to the
Importance of reforestation.
"For our forests.are not merely USE
full because they supply timber. They
have an important relation to agri-
culture, through their influence on
moisture and temperature. They fur
nish refuge for our wild life and
human health and happiness"

State Will
Add Forty
Acres to Park
APPROPRIATION MADE FOR
"GRAY'S PASTURE TRACT"
MAINTENANCE FOR TWO
YEARS ALSO PROVIDED.

The forty-acre tract, long desired
as an addition to the present Ramsey
State Park will be purchased by the
state, if the appropriation made by
the Legislature last Tuesday is ap-
proved by Governor 'Cfiristianson.
DR.. F. H. Aldrich, the Redwood Coun-
ty representative in the House wired
J. r. Keefe, head of the Ramsey Park
Comittee that such appropriation had
been made, and that the usual ap-
preparation of $500 for park main
tenance for the next two years had
also been made. The passage of these
appropriation bills are to be credited
to the Park Committee and Repre-
sentatives Aldrich and Kramer H.
M. Hitchcock, an honorary member of
the Park Board has also been ex-
tremely active on the behalf of this
bill working to advantage in this re-
spect because of his present resi-
dence in Minneapolis.
The forty acre tract has been to
all appearances part of Ramsey
Park for the past several years. W.
H. Gold purchasing it some time ago
and holding it until such time as the
State saw fit to purchase it. Had
it not been taken over at the time
Mr.. Gold bought it, the trees would
in all probability have been cut and
the property ruined so far as its
scenic beauty is concerned. Drives
have been laid in it and it is a part
of the main park in appearances.
The members of the Park Committee
are J. R. Keefey w. H. Gold, H. A.
Baldwin, H. M. Aune, G. L. Grapp
and Mr.. Hitchcock.

State Needs
Require Close
$4,000
APPROPRIATIONS PROBABLY ST.
100000 LESS THAN IN 1923.
EDUCATION CALLS FOR NEAR
LY HALF THIS SUM.

Appropriations by the legislature for
the next biennium are soaring over
the 100000 mark in spite OF every
effort to hold them down.
With two of the five general ap-
preparation bills out of the way and
the other two out of committees, there
is every indication that the 1925
legislature will be unable to make q
cut of much more than ST ,000, 900 from
the total allowance made by the ses-
sion two years ago.
The trouble is that house members
overrode the recommendations of the
appropriation committee and insert
ed an amendment in the omnibus edu-
cation bill to appropriate 81 1855, ,436
to meet the deficit in supplemental
state school aid. This shortage oc-
Cured during the last two years. Had
it not been for that item, the ap-
preparations would be under $40,-
100000.
An accurate check on the total ap-
preparations is impossible at this
time, but fair estimate can be OBJ
tanned from figures now available.
The appropriation bill for state in
stitutions in charge of the board of
control has been signed by Governor
Christianson and calls for $7,148, 100
for the biennium. The semi-state ac-
tivities bill, also passed by both houses
totals 81, 972,650.
The house appropriations committee
reported out an education bill totaling
SIS, 9,787,042 which was passed after
the $1,359 ,436 item to make up the
deficit of state aid, was attached by
the house. The appropriation COM
mittee's bill for operating state de-
partments totals $8,643, 329.

School Ranks High.

Mr.. Schweikard, State Inspector of
Manual Training and Shop Work in
the schools of the state visited Red
wood Falls last week and ranked the
local school ninety-three per cent in
scope of work being done, the num-
Der of processes undertaken and the
room and equipment. Rating is done
on a system of answers to one hund-
red questions put by the State Depart
ment. The highest rank attained by
any school coming under Mr.. Schwei-
kahrd's inspection is SO per cent. This
shows that the industrial department
of the local school is occupying spa
cious and well lighted quarters, that
it IS carrying on many different pro-
cesses of work and that it is well
equipped to function with q high de-
gree of efficiency.

when President Wilson's engagement to Mrs. Edith Boiling Galt of Wash ington was announced, less than a year after the death of the former Mrs Wilson. Their marriage oc- cured about fifteen months after the President became a widower.
 The second Mrs. Wilson won the respect and affection of the nation by her devotion to the war president during his difficult administration and after he was stricken by the malady which finally ended his life. She showed herself to be woman of rare qualities and great common sense, the peer of any who have fill ed the position of first lady" of the land.
 The American people will wish her a pleasant trip, while travelling in- cognito as Miss Collins" and a safe return to her native land.

WANTS SOCIAL GOVERNOR

Referring to the encroachments upon his time due to social demands Governor Al Smith of New York humorously suggests that the state should have two governors-one to attend to the business of the office and the other to do the speechmak- ing and handshaking.
 He further declared that he would prefer the business job, because I would live longer"
 The custom of expecting high of- ficials, from the President of the United States down, to participate in lnnumerable celebrations, social functions and the like is unquestion- ably a serious burden. There is nc doubt that it detracts from their ef- ficiency in serving the public in more important capacities
 It is difficult to see how the GUS. tom can be changed, however. be- cause the people demand to see and hear their high officials in person from time to time, as is entirely
