HAS UNIQUE ALARM CLOCK
Tyrolese Clockmaker 1nvents Instru-
ment That Can Be Heard
Long Distance.

A Tyrolese, Switzerland, clocamaker
recently invented and patented q unique
alarm clock. 1t is simply new and
original application Of the alarm to the
clocks made in the Black forest possess
ing certain popularity which he desig-
mates the Alpine walker. Whenever in
the solitudes of the high pastures. the
>cowherds Of the Tyrol and Switzerland
desire to communicate with one another
over distances too far for the voice to
carry they make use Of sort of wooden
drum, upon which they strike with q
wooden hammer, thus producing Q sound
which is distinctly audible over a long
distance. This custom is the father OF
the idea. Just above the dial on the
clock will be found wooden hammer
which, actuated by the alarm move
ment, beats upon thin board, raised an
inch from the face of the clock, as upon
drum producing sound of remarkable
intensity more thrilling indeed than
that Of the ordinary metal bell.

CARS FASTER IN THE WEST
Men Take More Time and Greater
Risks Than In the East, Says
Railway Man.

II was called upon lately to straighten
up the affairs of a street railway in a
western town." said street railway
man of New York, according to the Sun,
"and I made the discovery that cars
Of equal speed, carrying the same num-
Der of passengers, run on q much faster
schedule in that city than in the east.
looked into the matter, and found that
it is because western men get on and of
cars on the fly. A young and vigorous
man in the west never thinks OF waiting
for car to stop at his corner He jumps
OF on the move. Motormen and gripmen
when they see young man waiting on
the corner, never STOP They just slow
up little and wait for the conductors
to bells to show that the passenger has
mounted ON the fly. Isuppose that west
ern people are more used to doing rough
and athletic stunts. Then, too, the heavy
traffic in New York makes it dangerous
to jump from a moving car.

Foot Ball Score.

Whatever the score may indicate to
be the result Of the games played by
the Grand Rapids high school there is
one stupendous result that works for
good. the result of having a team
composed only OF high school students
and Of students who are keeping up
their work. This year there are nc
ifs, andS, or butts about any student s
work who is playing in the team, each
member OF the team keeps his mark
up to an acceptable standard or he
does not play. As for anyone playing
who is not regularly attending school
it is simply unthought of. For this
excellent state of affairs superin-
tendent Youker and the High school
faculty deserve credit, it means
athletics are better conducted this
year than ever.

THE FARMER AND THE FAIR


More than to any one class of
persons it is important to the farmers
that there be first class agricultural
exhibit each year. 1t is the annual
business conference and display of
goods for the farmers.
The business man in Grand Rapids
or Marshfield goes TO Chicago to buy
goods and quite as much as to buy
goods he goes to feel of the market
to see what others are doing in his
line, to keep in touch with business
conditions outside those of his irnme-
date surroundings. In the same
way and for much the sane reasons
manufacturers hold conventions They
do SO because it is always we'll for men
in the same business to meet and
exchange ideas.
The county fair is one of the means
offered to the farmers to learn what
others are doing in this line. And
we improved it at Marshfeld.
1t is common remark in recent
years that the days of the county fairs
are numbered. That is, that one
after another, they are ceasing to
exist. Without attempting to discuss
whether or not there is sufficient
foundation for such a statement, or
what influences have been at work to
bring about this condition when the
county fair lives only in memory.
Those who are most familiar with
the present status of great livestock
shows agree that they are, with each
succeeding year, getting further and
further away from the small breeder
That is, the exhibitor of winning
herds at such shows are past masters
in the art of fitting and showing.
Whether it is the question OF
improving the grade of stock or the
quality of pumpkins, whether fol
simply the pleasure to be derived from
the annual event or whether it be for
the interchange of business IDEAS
| LldJ OC Ul1C NlCW pOluU UllClS
obviously are reasons, good and
substantial reasons, for every farmer
to discuss the county fair question.
