Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the dcmand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was SO great as now. The con-

work chop, the household, on the farm and
in official life, require continual access'ons
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order TO aaye labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration

No Blanks in this Competition.

This is a competition Of rather an unusual
nature IT Is common to offer prizes for tho
hest story, or picture, or architectural plan
all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the suCcC sstul one merely selling
MS for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely TO help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
pctiiive plan for a 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 de
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
t,ion, ne d not worry if he fail to secure he
prize He has substantial r suit TO show
fpr his work one That will command its val.
ue in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point Of
view Gel rid Of the rid of the idea that an
Improvement can he too simple to be worth
paient,ng TIE simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that It's stock is held by
about three hundred Of the leading newspa-

why will you blunder along In these in

quote from Senator HIS speeches is in

that what we quote from them Is what
he intends for the Southern ear? You are
