The action of the Council in
recommending the conditional
pardon of V. V. Ashford is
scarcely more than could have
been expected would follow his
conviction. His case of all others
was peculiar. Underline circum.
stances considering all the facts
relating to the gentleman per-
sonally, his public career here
and his trial by the military COM
mission, the Government is do
ing a just thing in giving him
his freedom. In the heat of
battle and when every one was
exercised over the events of Jan
uary it was not to be expected
that any other result than was
experienced by the prisoners
would follow, but now that mat
tiers have settled down in the old
groove it is probable the council
will reconsider quite a number
of the cases and pursue the same
course that taken in the case of
V. V. Ashford. Among the
masses on both sides OF the poll
tlcal fence such action would be
endorsed.
If there is any doubt in the
minds of the people who use
wire fence regarding the quality
of the wire we sell; if there is
any one who believes that Amer
lcan galvanized wire is superior
in quality to the European arti-
Gle, the little story we tell here
should convince them of their
mistake. Our European wire
has been tested at the iron works
and shows a tensile strength of
200 pounds-that is to say the
wire was stretched by machinery
and when the Indicator showed
200 the wire parted. Again it
was tested by being rolled
around an iron bar and pounded
to ascertain whether the galva-
nizing would come off and
whether the anneal ng wa> all
right. Every test was satisfac-
tory as the samples in our store
will prove. But there were peo-
pie then who wanled nothing that
was made where the govern.
ments were OF monarChial form,
AmeriCo-maniaCs, il the term
NAV be allowed, and who insisted
upon their cattle scratching their
backs upon American wire. We
ordered a hundred coils and put
it through the same tests exactly
that had been given the Europe
an article. The wire broke at
100 pounds, the galvanizing
cracked when it was hammered
and the annealing was imperfect.
The result is we have a hundred
coils of beautiful looking wire
on our hands that we would not
sell at any price, because it would
injure our WIRE trade for ever
Talk about cattle rubbing their
backs against it, why, if calf
should fall against it, it would
break in pieces.
For good, strong economical |
fencing the Jones Locked should
be adopted and it should be
made OF the wire we sell. The
stays cost six cents each and the
washers necessary to fasten the
wire to them about two
cents. The stays may be used
from six to thirty feet apart &C
cording to the character OF the
ground and the purpose for
which the paddock is to be
used. People who have tried
the fence like it and recommend
it to their friends. We have a
large stock of wire, stays and
washers, and we will be pleased
to supply the material or any in
formation concerning it to peo-
pie who use fences.
We have lately received the
CuteSt and best tea strainers I'm
aginable, and we sell them for a
quarter each. They are made
with spring fastening that fits
around the spout and prevents
the strainer from webbing"
You should try one if you want
a good thing.
Dietz Oil Stoves that are good
bakers, broilers and general
cookers can be had from us Tor
about the same price that YOU
pay for a good wood stove. The,
