Benjamin Franklin once said,
"Empty your purse into your head
and no man can take it from you,
for investment in knowledge always
pays the best interest. This is
true today as we'll as in Franklin S
time, and one of the easiest ways to
follow the advice of this noted man
is to attend the Marshall Business
College, Marshall, Mimi.

The NJ. A. Adams Co. of Mime
apOliS. which concern secured the
contract for reconstructing the
bridge across the Redwood river at
North Redwood, has already ordered
the lumber to be used in the bridge.

A new and important use for wax
seems to have been discovered by a
prominent resident of Ohio, living
near Lancaster, who had two trees
badly damaged by storm, one being
a maple and the other an apple. In
each case large limb was broken
down from the trunk, but still at
tached to it. The limbs were
propped up and fastened securely
with straps, very much as d broken
leg might be fastened with spiints,
and then melted refined wax poured
into and over all the cracks. The
''surgical operation was entirely
successful. The paraffine prevented
the escape of the sap, kept out the
rain and moisture which would
have rotted the trees, prevented the
depredations Of insects, and the
limbs seem thus far to be perfectly
re-attached to the trees.
It has been reported that the
night and morning train service of
the St. Louis would be abandoned
after Nov. 1st, but there seems to
be no foundation for the report.
The employees of the road state that
the night and morning trains really
do a better business than does the
regular day train service, and hence
it is not likely that the company
will abandon a service which seems
to be of the greatest benefit to the
travelling public. With the above
report is another that the line may
be extended through to Watertown.
