HOUSEHOLD RANGES
The Rugby Household "A' has
the sensible, simple and strong con-
struction OF every range in the splen-
did Household line. 1t is "Built to
Bake" it has all newest features that
make cooking easier and pleasanter.
Its castings are tlawless-and per-
fectly fnished-its ornamentation is
rich and bcautiful-in fact it has all
the appearance Of the highest grade
ranges.
But we want to call your aiten-
ton to the things you can't see in
pictures or IN any other way thanSy
making n careful examination of the
range.
First comes the oven-the most
important part Of any range-Rughy
ovens, like those in every House
hold Range, are full size and so
evenly heated on all sides, that per-
feet results are easily secured in all
baking. The fire boxes are extra
large for stoves of this grade and are
fitted for burning either coal or
wood. The handsome nickel steel
edges can be lifted off without both
erlng WIFI screws ana nuts. a
choice Of triangular or plain CRATES
is, offered.
We ask the favor Of call that we
may show not only The Rugby but
our entire line of "Built to Bake"
Household Ranges.

weeks:
Preparatory and High grades, %.
First primary, 81.

a few congratulatory remarks, made
brief response, expressing his
qualification at his election and his
thanks to those who had shown their
confidence in him. Closing remarks
were made by F. s. Billings, who
presented to Mr.. Aitken his creden-
tials, also reading the old blue-law
qualifications in respect to great
wisdom and virtue of a representa-
tive, all of which Mr.. Aitken GER

some security for his claim, 1t Is INSULT
Client to merely file the same. but it should
be regularly proved as required by the law.
An examination Of section 742 OF the
third edition of Brandenburg On Bank
ruptcy dscloses the following with. ref
erence to this matter: Creditors may be
represented by their attorneys in the voting
for trustees. but such attorneys should pro-
duce and file with the referee, to be made
a part Of the record in the case, written
authority from their principal.
Decision Cited.
Upon the right Of creditor holding a Sc
cured claim to vote or take part in the pro-
ceeding, Mr.. Brandenburg calls attention
to the decision of United States Judge Pur-
nell In case which arose in North Caro-
lima. in which the court uses some homely
expressions, but which illustrate the posi-
ton generally followed. The court says:
Creditors holding claims which are Sc
cured or have priority are not m respect
to such claims entitled to vote; to do so
such security or priority must be sur
rendered. This provision illustrates the
hOmely maxim of Haywood hoary with the
age of over four centuries that one cannot
eat his cake and have his cake too. The
creditor must decide. He can make a sur
render. thus becoming an unsecured cred
itor, and participate with other creditors in
the management of the estate or can sta nd
on his security or priority. He cannot do
both. He cannot run with the hare and
hold with the hound. as boys who -,,n rab-
bits would express 1t. quoting sixteenth
century authority"
