NO BLANKS IN THIS CONTEST

This Is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common To offer prizes for the
best story or picture. or arch vtural plan, all
the competitors risking the loss of their labor
and the su, cessful one merely selling his for
the amount OF the prize. But the Press Claims
Companys offer is something entirely differ
emit Each person is asked merely to help him
self and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage is to be rewarded for doing 1t. The
prize Is only a stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for club
house on certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something OF very little use
to him But the person who patents a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Compa-
ny's competition need not worry If he fail to
secure the prize. lie has a substantial result
TO show for his work-one that will command
its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any articles in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanio al expert who stud
les il only from the theoretioa al point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improvement can
he too simple tn be worth patenting The
simpler the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and popularity.

pers of the United States.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors but almost everybody has been
struck, at one time or another, with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
iricuonS of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger backs?'
exclaims a traveller. III l were running the
road would make them in such way"
what was the man who made this sucepan
thinking OFF" grumbles the cook HE never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar button! growb the man
who is late for breakfast IF | were in the
business d make buttons that wouldn't slip
out or break off, or gouge out the ba,k of my
neck.
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else If they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows. saucepans and ollar buttons in
to practical shape, and then apply for patents,
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring, or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

: nlOng the Poultry.

Feed young chickens on clean
feed board.
Eggs often have bad flavor from
| the food the hens eat.
1t is poor economy to allow any
of the fowls to roost outside in
Winter.
One item in having good winter
layers is to have good number Of
early pullets.
Too much handling of the eggs is
often a cause of the eggs failing to
hatch in an incubator.
Healthy, thrifty towels are always
early risers. Feed them as soon as
they fly down from the roosts.
Whether Matched in an incubator
or under a hen, do not feed chick
ems until they are "a hours old.
Give handful of sunhower seed
to the fowls two or three times
week now. It will add to their APP
pearance.
One of the best plans of feeding
is to give soft feed in the morning,
green food at noon and whole corn
at night.
The best charcoal for fowls is
parched corn roasted until it is a
dark brown. 1t can be given once
week with benefit.
Boiled oats and wheat bran makes
one Of the best and cheapest egg
producers that can be given to the
hens during the Winter.
One of the advantages of ducks
over chickens is that they will grow
almost twice as fast, are free from
vermin and less liable to disease.
Arrange, if possible, to have two
rooms to the poultry-house. One
should have a good, large window,
so that the fowls can have sun
shine.
Keep on culling until the number
is reduced to what can be wintered
well. 1t is of no advantage to
winter over a fowl that you have no
use for.
Hang up a bundle of oats or sor-
ghum heads so high that the fowls
will have to jump up to get the seed.
1t will give them an opportunity
for exercise.
Most of the diseases of the feet
are caused by the fowls having to
fly or jump from high roost to the
hard ground, especially with the
larger breeds.
II the combs of any of the fowls
get frosted, bathing in sweet oil is
one of the best remedies that can be
applied; repeat two or three times d
day until cured.
A chick that is thoroughly chilled
seldom amounts to much, as its
vitality is used up in resisting and
overcoming cold. One of the i'm
portant items in management is to
keep comfortably warm.
The two earliest breeds of turk
eys are the bronze and the Nara
gansett. The former is of a dark
bronze color, with luster approach
ing gold, while the latter is a metal
lie black, with salmon colored legs.
Corn, oats and barley ground
reasonably fine and mixed with
wheat bran, wet up with sweet skim
milk or water and then thoroughly
baked and after baking crumbled
fine, make an excellent feed for
young, growing chickens.

patent strikes person as an appsllingly
formidable thing The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems, and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get a new device to 8 patentable degree
OF perfection. This delusion the company de-
sres to dispel. Itdesires to get into the head
OF the public clear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great, complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little. simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening a bit of rubber cord to a
child's ball. so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme The modern sewing machine is a mi
racle OF ingenuity-the product Of the toll of
hundreds of busy brains through hundred
and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.

ROW OVER A HOTEL.
The Troubles of the SpauIding
House of Duluth.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 29.-There is a
change in the management of tine
Spaulding hotel today. E. P. Emerson
having been. removed by Receiver
Sllvey, who has placed F. II. Frisbee in
charge. Almost simultaneously steps
have been taken to have Receiver Silvey
removed. Burley & Co., of Chicago,
one Of Emerson's creditors. have filed a
complaint In which it is alleged that
the claim of E. S. Munger against
Emerson's estate is void on the ground
of usury. Munger holds bill of sale
for $4,000 on The hotel furniture, and
one of the terms of the loan was that
Emerson should pay Munger 10 per cent
of the gross receipts yearly. This
amounted to over $4,000 the first year,
and Burley 81 Co. claim it was an usuri
Gus contract and ask the court to declare
it illegal. They also assert Receiver
Sllvey is a son-in-law of Munger and is
acting solely in his interest, and they
ask for his removal.

| NOT IN BAD COMPANY.
ST. PAUL PARK IMPROVEMENT co. HAS
- MO ERTANcLLNC ALLIANCES.
IT'S INVESTMENTS ARE SAFE.

Reports in Chicago Papers OF Its
Association Were Entirely I'm.
founded - The Basis Upon
Which the Local Company is
Organized.
A representative of the GLOBE yes
terday sought an interview with one of
the principal officers of the st. Paul
Improvement company. whose affairs
were reported to be involved with the
recent proceedings in Chicago affecting
the standing of the American Building,
Loan and Investment company, of that
city. The gentleman stated most en-
phatically that the st. Paul Park cor
poration has not now, nor has it ever
had. any connection whatever with the
Chicago corporation. 1t has not loaned
the sum of S13S,000, as stated, on prop
erty at st. Paul Park. There are loans
on property there, granted by indi-
viduals, for small amounts, aggregating
perhaps $4,000. These do not concern
the company in its corporate capacity,
but are simply individual transactions.
The st. Paul company has had no
business relations whatever by means
of which 1t could be compromised or in
any way connected with the manage
ment of the Illinois corporation. 1t has
been conducted on a conservative and
legitimate plan; the investments have
been bona fide. and the improvements
made upon carefully considered plans,
nrpna rod Inv man ha lorUn avnari
encc in the laying out of modern manu-
featuring towns. The investments have
been I'D property worth many times the
sum invested, at good rates of interest
and on excellent security. There Is no
question i'll the mind of any person
versed in real estate values as to the
legitimacy of the enterprise and its
ultimate success.
1t is mystery to every one connected
with the st. Paul Park enterprise how
the Chicago newspapers could bave as
ISOLATED the home enterprise with the
Illinois one. They are totally dissimilar
in character, have had no business re-
latlons, and are never likely to have
any.
The GLOBE is pleased to make the
above statement. and to make it as en-
phatlc rs possible. 1t has every reason
for confidence in the business sagacity
OF the promoters of the st. Paul Park
company. and no one has ever cast the
slightest suspicion upon their integrity.
The injustice done by associatIng them
with the Chicago concern will not,
fortunately, affect their standing here,
where they are so well and honorably
known.
AS is we'll known to our citizens gen.
orally, the st. Paul Park enterprise
gives promise of being one Of the most
successful manufacturing suburbs of
the country

INDICTMENT oUAsHED.
Mayor Fitch and Chief Gibbons
Victorious,


The case against Mayor Fitch and Of
fcer Gibbons, on the charge Of comfy
Ing at the escape of Tom Kindred at
South ST. Paul, came up at Hastings
yesterday before Judge Crosby. City
Attorney Michaels objected to the intro
duction of testimony, on the ground
that the Indictment did not state sufi-
rient facts to constitute an offense, and
the objection was sustained. The county
attorney then moved that the Indictment
be quashed, and the case was dismissed
Inc dismissal of the cases against
Mayor Fitch and Chief of Police Glib
bons, of South st. Paul. was heard in
that city last evening with great deal
Of satisfaction on the part of the actual
residents, who gave Mr.. Fitch a good
majority at their last election.
He was the pioneer commission mer-
chant in the live stock business at the
st. Paul Union stock yards, and has
ever since been a leader IN building up
the great business of the stockyards
district" says South st. Paul citizen.
"His faith in the district is shown not
only i'll business but in his holdings of
real estate there. where his residence
is one of the neateSt in South ST. Paul.
Few, outside of a small group Of dis
gruntled politicians, had any idea that
such charge as connlving to aid in the
escape OF prisoner could be made with
any reasonable chance of success, and,
though such charge was made at the
Hastings court, the judge was
evidently soon Impressed with the
weakness of the case, for it was merely
opened before the jury when motion to
dismiss was granted. Chief Gibbons
ease came up and was dismissed with
put the Formally of undertaking to Sc
cure jury. His friends are equally
we'll pleased with the results. The
present administration has been very
satisfactory to the actual residents OF
South st. Paul. and it would be very
difficult to find more law-abiding
stockyards district than the one over
which Mayor Fitch presides. His meth
DDS are not congenial TO lawless cbarac-
tiers, but they suit the better classes of
bona fide citlZenS.''
