They'll do it. Let this advice from
the Howard County Leader be iemem-
bered by you, dear reader. For the
sake of the dear people we would warn
everyone against travelling agents and
capvassers. Many of our farmer breth-
rem have cause to feel q harsllness in
their breasts on account of n travelling
buggy nee that did business in this
county last summer. Notes for bug
gies and wagons purchased at an
enormous price, will soon fall due and
the payer will only have the reminis-
of a spring wagon as value re-
ceived for their promise to pay. Be-
ware of the stranger who asks for your
order for groceries, hardware, dry
goods, clothing or printing. Cur home
merchants sell as cheap asanv houses
on earth, and why not trade with those
upon whom you will have some re-
source when fraud or deception enters
into a transaction. Let the travelling
fakir alone, for he is slick OF tongue,
and slicker in trade. Be wise and fire
, him from your premises.

passing through the second screen the
p~roiectile interrupts the second cir
cult, with the effect of instantly bring
ing the clock mechanism to a stop.
Knowing then the exact distance be-
tween the two screens, usually several
hundred feet, il follows that by divid-
ing it by the number of seconds or the
fractions of u second marked ON the
clock dial, representing the time which
has elapsed during the passage of the
p~rojectile from screen to screen, we
obtain the number of feet per second
which the ~projeetile was travelling.
Nothing much simpler could well be
devised, the whole secret of satisfac-
tory measurement lying in the C
raey of the time determination, in
which even so small a thing as a small
fraction of a second becomes Il factor
of the utmost Importance.
