NOTICE TO

There was never Il time in the history OF
out country when the demand for inventions
and improvements i'll the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The conven-
fences of mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and in
official life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenances and implements of each in
order 70 save labor, time and expense. The
political change in the administration OF gov
eminent docs not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to perceive the existing deticien-
cies, does not permit the affairs OF govern
mcnt TO deter him from quickly cOnceiving
Tie teaedy to overcome existing discrepan-
cica. Too great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests nave been lost
and destroyed IN innumerable instances b.
the employment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to those
who adopt the mo POTENT, Nc pay" system.
Inventors who intrus' their business to this
class of Attornc 3 do so at an imminent risk,
as the breadth and strength of the patent is
never considered in view OF d quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. The Press Claims Company, John We'd

TIL amount of good a S. bill or its equiva
lent will do at the present time was demon
strated at Patoka, Marion county, last week.
A gentleman went into the loan office and
borrowed S. to meet an obligation, and was
given a check for the sum. The borrower
paid the check over to his creditor, and
in a few minutes later this gentleman gave it
to another man in liquidation of a debt, and
the third man did likewise with the same
check. In its rounds it landed back in the
loan Office as payment on monthly dues from
the sixth man into whose hands it had fallen.
This check was never taken to the bank to be
cashed and had paid $50 in debts and return
ed to the original maker of the check in
liquidation of a debt owed to him as repre-
sentative of the loan association.
