adjustable as to length and position. and
easily adapted to all inequalities of

A six-foot ladder weighs about 40
pounds. The crane, or basket and hook
holder, rotates, or may be shifted to
either side of the operator; will support
80 pounds of fruit in a basket with ease,
and the legs all fold in when required.
The object is to provide a safe stand,
and at the same time increase the facil-
tiles of the operator iii picking fruit,
pruning trees, etc, giving him the full
Use of both hands and placing the basket
within easy reach of the same, thereby
saving time in transporting the fruit
from the tree to the basket. The fruit
can also be handled with less damage
from bruising, and it will therefore
bring more money.-Farm and Home.

the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that il
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iniIamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eus,achian Tube. When
this tube gets inllamcd you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal con.
ditiun, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an iniiamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

New r edmond Wins, 1916.

Last Saturday the second loot
ball team from the Normal took
the gridiron against the High
school team of New Richmond.
The weather was favorable and
the indications were that the
game would be hntly contested.
The Normal boys had the first
kick off and only once during the
first half, of the game did they
win possession Of the ball, and
then it was almost; Immediately
lost by tumble. BY a series OF
end plays the New Richmond boys
at the end of the first half had
made three ouch-downs, but
failed to kick goal once so that
the score stood Is to 0.
In the second half the Norma
boys got down to work and
Purves, who played quarter back
succeeded in making two touch
downs, but failed to kick goal
both times. New Richm ond got
possession of the ball twice in the
last half and once succeeded IN
making touch down. 1t was
still in her possession when time
was called and the game closed.
On the whole it was a good
clean game and the referee and
umpire satisfied both sides. The
strong points Of the New Rich
mond team were rapid playing
and good interference in the.points
the Normalites were weak. The
fact that our team scored at all is
largely due to the hard work OF
Ap Roberts and Purves, the only
two experienced players ON the
team.

A Vienna inventor has declared to
the world that he will light a whole
city with the energy of one man
turning crank. His method OF light
is by the Roentgen rays.
After viewing New Richm ond with
her beautiful electric light system,
one cannot help wishing that the
Vienna inventor would make the first
test of his wonderful light in this city.
He would find plenty who would will
lingly take their turn at the crank,
just to see how the town would look
when properly lighted up.

catastrophe was brought about by
the announcement of DR.. Emmens OF

The Milwaukee Journal is usually
right on most questions and is fast
gaining that popularity that will
eventually make it the leading paper
in the northwest. 1t is, however, to
be regretted that it takes so narrow
Il view of the Cuban Rebellion. 1t
loses not an opportunity to belittle
the efforts of the brave Gu ban patri-
OTIS in their struggles for liberty, but
nevertheless, the cause is gaining
ground rapidly and soon the Journal
will be called upon to publish the news
that Cuba is free The Journal
will then look back over it's editorials

Among the many advantages in an
educational way of which this city has
reasons to be justly prond is it's High
school. The school, it is believed, is
above critism so lar as its educational
advantages are concerned, AMI pro
vided as it is with Il faculty OF more
than average ability, with library
and all necessary apparatus OF the
highest order, it would seem that the
school is above adverse criticism.
Unfort unately such is not the case,
at least there are those who think
a school is never quite up to the
highest mark OF perfection without a
suitable campus or play ground. 1t
is true that the Board has leased he
block west of the school for a play
ground which will answer all needs
for the time being. But soon this
ground or at least parts of it will be
sold, spelling it for all time as a
proper play ground. The attention
of the TIMES has been called to this
contingency by several taxpayers in
teres5ed in the school. As the grounds
can now be purchased for II small
amount of money it has been sug-
gested that the city could not do
better than to bny the whole block,
thus insuring the patrons of the
school suitable play ground for all
time.

Secret airy Sherman declines to dis
cuss or in any wayindicate what this
government will do when Spain Offici-
ally de clines our assistance in ringing
about peace in Cuba. That is
probably the proper position for the
Secretary OF State to take, but those
who are not hampered by their offici-
al relations are discussing the matter
with much interest since the new
Spanish premier by his unofficial
utterances has made it plain that the
offer OF mediation made by this gov
eminent will not be accepted and the
most that Spain will do for Cuba will
be to recall Gen. Weyler and offer the
Cubans a sort OF home rule, under
Spain. 1t is the general belief in
Washington that the Cubans will not
pay the slightest attention to this
offer and that the war, which has
already impoverished Spain, will go
right along. That being the belief,
everybody wants to know what this
government intends to do. Will 1T
try to aid Spain 10y persuading Cuba
to accept the offers which have BEEF
made by the new Spanish ministry,
or will 1t recognize the belligerency or
the independence of Cuba, or may be
90 even further and send armed help
to the Cubans? 1t is not difficult to
find in Washington men Of standing
and influence who advocate one or
the other of these steps, but those

Mr.. Feltz is man 35 years of age, and
has lived in Colorado Springs since last
March. His home is at 513 West Huerfano
street He has been engaged in the COM
mission business most of the time he has
been here, but has devoted his leisure
time to his experiments in aerial naviga-
tion- He is an intelligent conversational
ist and evidently serious in the claims
which he makes. He studied and prac-
ticed law in Kansas. So firmly was he
convinced at one time that he had the
vexed problem of aerial navigation set
tied that he publicly proposed to make it
a feature at Chicago for the Worlds fair.
He went to Washington, D. c., in 1898
to solicit the aid of the government in
his work. He was unsuccessful and fin
ally enlisted in the regular army, where
he continued to work on his pet theory.
He believes that if this experiment with
his aeroplane is successful ''aeroplane
sailing will soon become as popular ard
harmless pastime all over the country
as coasting down a hill on a sled has
been since time inmemorial.

"I'm really afraid that Mary has yield
ed to the very entioing sin of exaggera-

wiped her glasses preparatory to reading

she is spirited, pretty and full of life. but
she's always been truthful. I'll say moth
ing to her about it till have talked with
some of the other Endeavorers who went
to California.
"Why, she says here that the redwood
trees are SO tall that it requires two people
TO see the tops-it doesn't seem possible
and straw berries as big as pineapples.
Whoever heard of the like? Here's some
thing that I'll just refer to the professor.
He knows all about vegetables and agri-
culture. She says that it requires stump
pullers to get the beets out of the ground /;
that they roll the pumpkins together with
cant hooks, and then load them on the
wagons with derricks; that cucunbers
grow as long as fence rails; that the
wheatfelds are as big as Lake Michigan /;
that the thrashing machines look like
steam boats, and that the horseless plows
rush along like motor cars. 1t is certainly
wonderful beyond belief

or heard them upon good authority. We
must not misjudge her, but here is the
