In eastern and middle state small

they become the center OF new town

tenders are generally paid 81 to $2.oO

AN 'EVEN KEEL" SPRING
A New Minneapolis Device Which Look
o. Attractive to Capital.

Capital is all that is required to start
the manufacture in Minneapolis of a
local invention, which promises to find
a market with all manufacturers Of
vehicles. At first, the equalizing spring,
as it it called, could be turned out by
custom work from almost any estab-
lished foundry with a machtneshop.
Should the business increase as rapidly
as prophesied, it would be a. question Of
only a year or so when it would be
necessary to build a plant exclusively
for the manufacture of this spring. An
annual business Of $25O,000 is confident
ly expected by persons already inter
ested in the invention. The public
affairs committee of the Commercial
club is investigating and expects to see
the manufacture Of the invention Sc
cured for Minneapolis.
The equalizing spring takes the place
Lof the usual body loop and spring for
which the buggy manufacturers pay
$1.92, and it can be made for 80 cents
a set, or less. It can be attached to
buggies, trucks, automobiles and any
road vehicle requiring springs. The
equalizing principle prevents the vehicle
from tipping when loaded. That is
when a person steps into a buggy the
entire box yields to his weight evenly
This prevents wearing down a buggy
box unevenly when one side of the seal

W TERNAL feminine interest in
dainty lingerie has made a ire
~ mendous market in the twin
~ cities and the northwest for mus
lin underwear. The northwest
territory, at whose commercial gateway
Minneapolis stands, is a fallow field in
this line waiting for the figurative har-
row of the commercial traveller. Altho
Minneapolis already jobs quantities of
these goods in adjacent states which de
pend upon it for retail supplies, the
business is capable of an indefinite in
crease. 1t will grow locally as the popu-
lation of the twin cities increases and
as the people grow richer and have ia
~cilities for expanding more on dainty
dress.
In consideration of this large trade in
fine undergoods, the question has arisen
in the mind of the wholesalers why Min
neapolis buys merchandise of this class
instead of manufacturing it. 1t is be-
lieved that only a suggestion is required
the richness of the field, expense of
power, labor conditions and the trans
portation resources of Minneapolis.
Success which industries already es-
tablished In the manufacture Of other
kinds of wearing apparel have met here
will be a basis for figuring on the new
plant for the special manufacture Of
thC 4Ntoii SoONS " oLiS o1iNt ILL
dren.
Competition with ''Home Made.'
Reference to the fact that the terri
tory paying tribute to Minneapolis is
a fallow field is drawn out by the fact
that in a large proportion of the north
western states the female population
of small settlements is accustomed to
making it's own underwear. 1t is the
old spirit brought from the east and
from across the water of industry and
frugality. Grandmother spends all her
spare time knitting socks for the family,
which could be bought more c~heaply.
Mothers and sisters hem industriously
on articles Of muslin, which could be
bought at less expense Of time and
money and which would have more style
and give more satisfaction in its wear
ing.
Eastern women have exchanged the
industrious sewing habit for lighter
pleasures and for attempts to improve
their minds in reading and study. They
have given free rein to their penchant
for shopping. In the shops they find
p%rettier creations for particularly femi,
nine wear than they ever dreamed of

is used habitually. With a man weigh
ing $50 pounds on the seat with a boy
weighing only 100 pounds the box would
hang evenly when the equalizing spring
is used. The same effect is produced
when applied to trucks with heavy-load
capacity.
The equalizing spring is built on the
scissors principle and is adjusted to
the vehicle, front and rear, serving in
place Of a "Sbody loop By the simple
turn of a screw the spring may be
changed to carry two, three or four men.
The spring is made in two styles and
has received the approval of all vehicle
men and automobiles who have e.
amined it's workings. To the automo-
bile men it appears to be particularly
attractive.
The owners of the invention are en-.
thusiastic over it's probable general
adoption and the possible market for
its sale will not be confined to the
United States in ease the spring fulills
predictions made as to its serviceability
and practicability.

goods are manufactured in the east,
while the laces are made in England
and the embroideries in st. Gall. The
fine underwear factories are accustomed
to buying the laces and embroideries
at one time when the regular market
clearing sales are on. Because they
are held in New York, however, these
sales are not any more accessible to the
local eastern buyers than to the vest
ern, and as the matter Of freight cuts
little figure, Minneapolis is really as
close to the market as many Of the
middle-state factories, and even those

A Peculiar Case.

About three weeks since Inspe ctor .Ey-
ford Of the immigration department put
woman off the train at Emerson as she
did not seem'abie to givea good account
Of her destination. The woman hoWev-
er, walked across the line late at night
and after arriving here applied at Two or
three private houses for lodging. Cur
iously, however, at one or two of the
places where she was admitted she
stayed but short time and left the
house without explanation while a bed
WAS being prepared for h-r. This week
she was found at WaInalIa and asking
for nights lodgings there and IN some
ways seemed a little off, Marshal Nc
Fadaen Of that city brought her in for
examination hy the board OF insanity on
Monday and the board decided that she
was somewhat unbalanced. She gave
her name as Miss Annie Effert and
claimed to have a brother an sister in
Winnipeg, and her age as 80. She would
not state where her home was, or where
She was going. She had been provided
with a ticket to Grand Forks by the Win
nipeg authorities, but gave no reason to
the board here why she changed her
route to Walhalla or what she was doing
there, only that she had gone there to
buy par Of corsets, that being the only
place where shes could buy them. In
spector Eylord was called in and he took
the woman back to Winnipeg to hand
over to the authorities there. She is uu-
doubleday slightly insane but if she had
friends could probably be cared for out
side of an ASYLUM.
