NOT THE
BIGGEST.

WE are not the biggest folks on
w earth; but there is one sure fact.
There is no store in York county that
carries as large stock of Millinery
Clothing, Shoes, Dress Goods, Hats
Dress Trimmings. Groceries. ETC., that
has as little expense as we do. And
this fact means much to the buyer of
goods in our lines. The smaller the ex-
pense the smaller the per centage Of
profit. This means that it is here that
you will find all kinds of goods in our
line at less price than you can get the
same qualities and varieties elsewhere.
And then, too we save you the time
and expense necessary to go to the
larger markets. Try us for what you
need.

The New York Times says that coal
mining is to be carried on this summer
in the waters of Long Island sound
Scattered all along the shores Of Long
Island and Connecticut, between New
York and Montauk point, are the
wrecks of coal barges and coal schoon-
ers that have been abandoned by their
owners and by the insurance companies
that had insured the cargoes. During
the past winter one Of the submarine
boats that has been experimental with
in the sound has located lot Of the
wrecks of coal barges while the work Of
testing the value Of the boat was In
progress. The wrecks were buoyed
and where there was proof that the
owners of the cargoes had abandoned
them the wrecks were charted. Since
then a number of venturesome capital.
lists have organized a company that will
soon get to work hauling the coal from
these wrecks and sending 1t to markets
where it may be disposed of.

Threads 1000 Needles a Minute.

A little machine which threads 1000
needs minute Is in Minneapolis. II
was seen by l.. s. Donaldson of Min
neapolis in st. Gall, Switzerland, on a
recent visit, and he had it sent to his
department store in Minneapolis, mere
ly as an exhibit.
The purpose Of the machine is to
shrt ad needles that are placed after
ward in an embroidery loom for max
ing the Swiss or Hamburg lace. The
device is almost entirely automatic. 1t
takes the needle from hopper, carries
1t along, and threads, ties the knot, cuts
tn. thread off a uniform length, then
carries the needle across an open space
and sticks it in rack.
The work of threading these needles
was formerly done by hand. and the
advantage from what may be done by
hand to thousand minute by ma
ch,nery is an index of the progress OF
this important industry.

Practical Lessons in Good Roads

CHICAGO, March Arrangements
have been made whereby the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company and the National
Good Roads Association will join hands In
scheme further to educate the farmers
along the line of the Illinois Central be-
tween New Orleans and Chicago in the
building Of good roads. The scheme pro-
vides for the running of ''good roads
special between the Louisiana metropolis
and this city, and the practical demonstra-
tions by expert road builders.
The Especial will leave New Orleans
aEout the middle of this month. 1t will
be made up of eight or nine cars, including
commissary coach and fiat cars enough to
carry the machinery required in the build
ing of modern wagon ways. There will be
men sent out in advance, who will work up
mass meetings at specified points, interest
ing the farmers in the coming OF the tram
and explaining the purpose of the visits
The train will make the trip between New
Orleans and Chicago in about three months,
stopping at twenty or more points, at each
of which the expert.road men will build
about mile of roadway. The advance
agents will arrange with the farmers to
have everything ready for the practical
demonstrations when the special arrives
The farmer will be expected to provide the
material to be used in the building.
