BILLIONS OF PINS.
How Many Horses 1t Would Take to Haul
the Annual Pin-Product.


We well remember when a paper
containing 120 or IA pins. generally
the former, cost II to 1Ssi cents, and
they were very poor pins at that,
almost needing hammer to drive
them into any strong. close fabric
Now papers containing 2sS beautiful,
fne-pointed, smooth-bodied. nicely
headed pins are made for two or three
cents per paper. And how could you
get along without pins, even with the
present immense variety of buttons
and tapes, and what-nots? 1t is stated
that the present annual production of
common pins in this country is eighteen
billions, or eighteen thousand millions
CS, OOO. 600, OOO). This, however, is
but daily pin apiece, and only for
800 days in a year, for each of our
sixty million people. The old question
is up again in the press, What becomes
of all the pins?' 1t would be no
trouble for each person to drop out of
sight his or her one pin day, and
they would be pretty well scattered
about. and hard to find. even if not
''lost in a haymow." But if all these
pins or only one year 8 supply were
deposited in one heap. it would be quite
a different matter. The average-sized
pin is an inch long. We weighed some
of these on delicate scales, and found
them to run two grains each, or $500
to the pound. So the eighteen billion
pins would weigh over five million
pounds (5,142, 857 pounds, or 2.571
tons, and it would take over five thou
sand horses or oxen to haul them in
loads of ton each.
If only one of every thirty pins
should injure a person, it would
average ten ''pricks'' or scratches
each for every man, woman and child
in the United States. Some get more
than their share, the babies for exam.
pie, though the recently invented
''safccy pins" have greatly changed
that matter. Prairie Farmer.

Interesting Fair News,

If you want information relative to
what premiums are offering in the
various departments of the forthcom-
ing fair, and are in a hurry about it,
don't wait for the premium list, but
call OH the secretary at his office in
the Menger building, and you will be
fully accommodated. If you can't call,
write, and your letters will receive
prompt attention.
Two new applications today for
stalls for fine cattle exhibits. Long
before the fair opens it will be full in
every department The association
has hardly had time to let the country
know that it exists, but as the news
spreads, interest is awakened and
the secretary's table multiplies it's
letters of inquiry and applications for
space.
The last meeting of the board of
fair directors was an encouraging one.
They are in earnest. Their money is
being extensively invested and south
west Texas will see during November
a show, greater and more varied than
she ever dreamed would be hers, of
her material growth and resources.
Take hold of the fair men, and help
the great enterprise along. 1t is the
finest opportunity of business worth
and energy ever presented.

The Bond Middle.

1t will be remembered that Mr.. r.
c. Norton, on behalf of his Kansas
city clients, bought the new $4,000
improvement bonds at per cent for
102 and 1-S, and the city council ac-
cepted the bid. Now the interest on
these bonds date from the 1st of Au-
gust, but the mayor claims that the
interest from that date until the date
the money is paid to the city, was due
to the corporation. The mayor de-
clined to pay interest not due, and
Mr.. Norton has declined to take the
bonds. They will therefore again be
advertised for sale, but bidders will
have to be more careful, as $500 for
felt will have to be put up by all fu-
tire bidders
