Factory Warehouse Burned.

Monday evening at $3.50 fire, evident
ly started by spontaneous combustion,
was discovered in the new 72x112 foot
warehouse of the Laverock Screen Door
& Window Co., located on South Shia-
wassee street, between the Ann Arbor
and Grand Trunk tracks. An alarm
brought the fire department quickly and
by unusually good work the factory and
the other warehouse were saved, al
though it required nearly an hour to
completely smother the flames.
There was about $1,000 worth of stock
in the warehouse and the building was
valued at $4,000. The loss will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 with Sill
900 insurance.
The factory had not been running for
a short time, and an inventory was be-
ing taken and preparations made for the
fall campaign, which will not be inter
fered with by the fire.

A friend of Congressman Cushman,
of Washington, recently sent him a
copy of the Saginaw Courier Herald
containing portion of an address which
he delivered on Memorial day. In ac-
,knowledging the receipt Of the paper
Congressman Cushman added: Your
representative in congress, Mr.. Fordney
is one of the most earnest and loyal
men in the House. l admire his aoli-
ity greatly, but / think admire MS
courage even more. A man who Will
stand in that House as have seen him
stand battling in favor of his conviction
forprinciples in the face of almost COM
,bined opposition has in him some OF the
sand from which is made the cement
that holds nations together" This
is one of the finest compliments which
has ever been paid the energetic repre-
sentative of this district.

THAT COLORADO TRIP.
A Word Regarding the Trip to the

A gentleman who has been over the

portation committee, who have arrang-

This route takes one through most
pleasing and rich farming country,
touching the cities of ST. Louis and

"From Pueblo-the Pittsburg of

is very thoughtful indeed, giving a

source at Silver Plume, the summit of
The Rockies. Here one can easily step
across the stream.
Another pleasing day trip is to
Leadvifle and return. One of the
pleasant things about sight seeing in
Colorado is the facilities afforded by
the railroads, an observation open
car being attached to each train, with
trained employees in charge, who

When you have finished sight seeing
your trip home can be made over same

H. B. Sturtevant died Friday night at
the family home on West Oliver street

patient sufferer.
She was born at Plainfeld, in Eaton

and deeds to all whom she was able to
help in any way. She loved children,
and having none of her own, adopted
two girls, one of whom is now Mrs.
Waugh, of Sherman, and the other,
Rhoda, who lives at the home here.

A German Smoke Consumer.

According to United States Consular Clerk
Murphy at St. GATHERINGS, Ontario Ger
man firm has recently patented a system
for consuming smoke and preventing the
wasting of coal which, it is claimed. Is
proving very successful. The system has
been tested at the experimental station of
the Bavarian 'Revisions-Verein'i in Munich,
where it was found that ~ per cent of the
combustfble value of soft coal from the
Saar district can be utilized when this
smoke consumer is used. The conditions
were unusually favorable at this station
but it is confidently claimed that almost
anywhere the saving of coal will amount
to from IL to % per cent. The director of
a rope and cable factory at Frankfort, Ger
many, where the system has been In use
for some time. reports minimal develop
ment of smoke only when fires are started
or replenished; at other times no smoke
Is visible and the saving of coal amounts
to more than 20 per cent. The owners of
the patent allow to interested factories a
four weeks trial, guaranteeing a saving of
at least 10 per cent in coal. At the end
of the four weeks a contract may be made
for period of five years, the annual charge
for the of the smoke consumer and
for keeping 1t in order being 1925 to s175,
