An avenue merchant tells me there
was heavy run on the whitewash mar
ket few days ago by real estate syn
dicate owning tract of land across the

the local lime business is said to have
been occasioned by the report that Presi-

Georgetown people started T. story that
the president was out looking fo- sum-
mer home in the vicinity of ArliGgton.
Before sunrise the following morning
hundreds of small trees were planted
and an army of whitewash artists were
engaged decorating the slender trunks
of said trees, and thus new suburb was
established. In these days Of booms a
new suburb can be established while you
wait with the aid of few trees and

Casting Sleighbells.

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard to the method of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside sand core, just
the shape of the inside of the bell. This
sand core, with tho jinglet inside, is
placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the cores and mold
The hot metal burns the core so that il
can be shaken out, leaving the ball with
in the shell. Ball valves, swivel joints
and many other articles are cast II the
