The lecture given by Elbert Hubbard at
Seaver's hall last Thursday evening drew a
large audience. This lecture was Of
different style from anything ever given
here before, but contained many good
things to retain. AS was stated by the

the lines" to geG at some of the best things
and in this way large number of sugges-
tions were given which should be applied
to everyday life, The next entertainment
will be given on Wednesday evening, Feb.

PHI. Duke of South Barton has invented
a machine for tonguing and growing
boards, as used in boxes, flooring, etc.
This machine is designed to match both
edges OF the board at the same time. 1t
matches boards that may be wider at one
stationary, and is set in proper position to
a movable guide for one edge of the board
to be matched or,run blind. The other
cutter head is in a swinging frame or arm,
and is moved the proper distance from the
stationary cutter head by the boards, diff
ferent widths being pushed against the
angular guide that is fastened on the
swing arm. The'swing arm will bring its
cutter head into proper position to cut the
narrowest board that the machine will be
required to match. This arm will be NOV
ed by spring or weight as seems best to
use. The boards move over the table in a
horizantal position. This is not essential
but Mr.. Duke thinks'it preferable. ]. w.
Murkland is building the machine. Mr..
Duke has sent a drawing Of the model
to the patent office at Washington which
has been accepted and he ex poets to secure
patent on the machine.
