The Third Annual Conunss of
American Indians which will be held
at Cordon. Nebr., on June 19, 20
and 21 this year, will he of greater
Interest than it has any previous
years and it will be a sight never to
be forgotten by those who are for
tunate enough to attend
The Indians ,wlll meet in council
on the morning of the first day and
this event Is always interesting. A
parade each morning, with the wi nl
MUSiC and beautiful display of drisi
and line horses is of ever-increasing
Interest.
New games new to all but the
Indian -and events will be more
numerous than ever before, and
many of these have never before
been witnessed by only a few whites.
These in addition to the rOOlOg
events will take up most of the
three days aond you will aitlOlf every
l minute while here.
On the 20th the vast assemblage
.will be addressed h the Hon. W. H.
iWestover, district Judge of the Six
teenth Judicial district, on the sub
ject. "Sheridan County's First Ac
quaintance with the Sioux Indian,
'and the Iidiau's Itelation to the Gov
ernment in the Future." That ad
dress will be ancvverid by a promin
Jent Indian and both addresses will
, be interpreted in the opposite langu
age.
If you know Judge Westover you
will know that it will ne well worth
your time to hear him talk and you
will know the American Indian bet
ter by hearinu the answer to the ad
dress Of the Judge.
On the 21st the crowds will be ad
dressed by the Hon. Ople Chambers,
one of the hest-known and hespected
men on the uosebud Heservation.
His subject has not yet been an
nounced, but you may rest assured
that It will be interesting from be
ginning to end. There are few men
so well acquainted with the Indian as
is Mr. Chambers, and we look for
something worth while in his ad
dress. And last, but not least, we wish to
a!l to your attention an event which
has never been carried out before
since the Congress was organised,
and that Is the beadwork display.
Substantial prizes are being offer
ed Tor the best -exhibit of this work
you will see, many of the ancient
heirlooms of the Sioux people which
have been handed down since earlier
than the Revolution as well as those
of more recent years.
This feature alone will be well
worth your time spent as much of
this work is fast disappearing. They
will be on exhibit each day of the
Congress.
Fill up your car and enjoy the
hospitality of Cordon folks on these
Jdays June 19, 20. 21.

HYDROMETER WILL
SAVE BATTERY
Charles Schafer. of IWitl.lO Service
Station, Says llydrometlmi Cives
the Knttcry Contentment
"Do not abuse your battery and
endanger pleasant motor trips by
failing to use your hydrometer. Each
time you manipulate this specific
gravity measurer you lessen Its In
itial cost and prolong tin- usefulness
of your battery."
To properly test the specific grav
ity of a battery cell, says Charles F.
Schafer. 114 Fast 3rd street, of the
Battery Service Station, remove the
vent, insert the rubber tube at the
bottom of the syringe hydrometer
thru the vent well down Into the
electrolyte. Squeeze the rubber bulb
(Irmly, then remove pressure from
the bulb. Electrolyte will rise Into
the glass barrel. If you desire an
exlremely accurate reading, lift (he
instrument to a convenient height
and hold It vertically so yoti can see
the hydrometer floating free within
the glass barrel of the syringe. Ord
inarily It will suffice to read the hy
drometer with the syringe In the
well and then you can easily see the
figure reached by the surface of the
electrolyte.
After the reading is taken, be cer
tain to restore the electrolyte to the
cell from which it was removed
never to another so that the be-tween-cells
balance of acid is pre
served. Insert the rubber tube into
the vent well, squeeze the bulb so as
to expell all the liquid from the
syringe and do not release the pres
sure from the bulb until you have
withdrawn the tube from the well.
This will preclude stealing ucld un
knowingly from one cell and donat
ing it to another. Then proceed
with the same operation on the next
cell and so on until ull the cells have
been separately tested. Be sure that
no spilled acid remains on the top of
I the battery. Remember - frequent
hydrometion gives battery eontent-
: ment and hydrometers don't wear
out.
