MUNICIPAL CREDITS.
They Have strengthened and I'm.
proved Under Rspubiican Policies.

The same Republican policies which
have strengthened the credit of the Uni
ted States government and CAUSED its
bonds to rise steadily in value have also
promoted the credit OF States. municipal
tiles. school districts, ETC., which can
now issue bonds 10 far greater adrant-
age than eight years ago. thus resulting
in great saving To taxpayers- Owing TO
the increase in the general prosperity,
savings have steadily accumulated and
have become invested largely in bonds
issued by municipalities in furtherancs

Eight years ago. in Democratic times.

more difficult than rhe general govern

definitely since the money for them could
not be obtained. except by excessive in
crease in taxation.
The change, however. within the last
eight years from bad TO good. as regards
the credit Of these local governments and
their ability to borrow money for needed
improvements, is an evil thing from the
Democratic standpoint
In his speech TO the Democratic edi-
tors at Rosemonnt on September 3. Al
ton b. Parker bewailci the "extrava-
gance in Federal. State and municipal
governments" and dolefully noted: The
indebtedness OF the municipal govern
ments is steadily piiing up, BOND Is

satisfaction, in many instances, OF fun

money expended"

last eight years OF Republican prosperity.

were sold in 1925 and 1896 with the
basis on which they have been sold this
year. (Of course the lower the basis

greater the advantage 20 investors who

here that his effort to Guido it at

by ingeniously contrived lights the

With changing hues. At one time the

PATENT EXHIBIT AT FAIR.
The United States Is to Show Some
Interesting Models of EARLY
Inventions.

The exhibit of the United States Pat
ent Office at the Worlds Fair will
show a series of models designed to
represent ideas that have made epochs
in the industrial history of the world.
So far as possible, the first thing of
its kind in every line of human inven-
ton will be shown. For instance, Wis
itors will have an opportunity to see
the actual sewing machine which was
the first practical contrivance of its
kind ever constructed. 1t was patented
in 1916 by Elias Howe. Previously, in
1912, J. J. Greenough had obtained
patent for a sewing machine, which
carried the cloth along automatically,
having a needle with hole in the mid
die.
Equally interesting in its way Is the
earliest typewriter, which was pat
ented by G. Thurber in 1912. The type
keys are set around the periphery of
horizontal brass wheel, and in Or
der to print letter it is merely neces-
sary to punch one of the buttons,
which causes the type to descend
through little tube and make a mark
upOu u slip VI WlllLS pdpSi'
The exhibit will include model of
the first cast-iron plow, which was pat
ented by Charles Newbold in 1897, and
the first screw propeller, which was
invented by Robert Hook in 1850.
The invention of the steamboat is
credited to Robert Fulton, yet in the
seventeenth century Denys Papin
launched on the Seine, in France, boat
that was run by steam. 1t is a matter
of historical record that the river
barge men smashed Papin's boat be-
cause they feared that it would in
| lure their business.
The most interesting of all models,
however, in the line Of aquatics, will
! be that of Abraham Lincoln's famous
device for lifting steamboats, on
| shoals. .t
Another exhibit will be the first
printing press and harvesting machine,
the latter made In $50 b. G.
The first locomotive and first steam
engine, made in Egypt 150 B. O., also
win be shown with many other rare
Inventions

Cecil Hammond awoke next
morning with an uneasy feeling
that something unpleasant had
occurred. The first object up
on which his eyes fell was Con-

of sunshine made it specially
prominent. Then Cecil remem--
bered the events of the previous
evening.
Disturbing as the truth was,
it must be faced. He dressed
slowly, considering the situa
tiOn in all its bearings. Be-
lieving himself IN love with
Constance, he had become en-
gagged to her, but last night had
shown that he was self-deceiv
ed. Not to Constance, the good
and serious, but to her high
spirited and volatin sister Eve

Why had he met the latter
