Stained glass windows are beautiful but
they are very expensive. Il was a Yankee
notion to get up a gelatin compound with
which to closely initiate stained glass in
any design, for a nominal price. The first
concern in the business is doing well, and
the idea has met with success from the
start. A great increase IN stained-glass
windows in private residences may be
looked for.

Citrus growers Of Southern California
have been perpleXed by two great prob
lems-ear shortage and box shortage. It
has been most difficult TO get the wood
shocks Of which orange boxes are made,
the wood getting scarcer and more costly
all the time. Now comes a Californian
with an idea for permanent relief, He is
making a box of pulp which requires but
one-fourth as much lumber. and the
wood may be supplied In the form Of chips
or even sawdust, If necessary. The pulp
box is lighter, saving 700 pounds Of weight

our boys and girls for the stern real
ities of life.
Let those who are not familiar with
the law not listen at rumors that are
circulated by enemies of the cause,
but look into this matter for your
selves. There is to be no bonded in
debtedness and the trustees cannot
raise the valuation of your property,
q am ashamed that we have any peo-
ple so ignorant as to think this) but
it will be two mills, and that only, so
long as we see fit to leave it so. If
we dislike it we can vote it off at any
time during any year.
Now let US lay by all prejudice and
look the situation and the proposition
square in the face, consider the small
amount each one would pay-only
twenty cents per hundred dollars
worth-and surely any of US will de-
eide that we are willing to give that
much for good home school. Let
us vote it whether we have children
or not, and we will see the bread
coming upon the waters not many
days hence.
It seems almost unreasonable that
any man would 60 to the ballot box
and cast vote against the establish
ment of good school where it is so
much needed, yet, for certainty,
there are some such. If I could not
favor so important cause as this
one I certainly would not declare my
self opposed to it. If we are going to
refuse to build up home school and
educate our children, when it can be
done with 80 little cost to each, then
let US hush about the negro getting
ahead of the white man; and if, as
the poet has said:
Ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be WISE"
Then let US remain in ignorance with
our little two mills in our pockets, and
soon we will awake to the fact that
the negro is ahead of us. Then whose
fault will it be? Lot us think well
and take the advice of the old lawyer
who said: ''Be sure you are right,
then go ahead.'' 81.

1t is believed, attract crooks from all

hat the French contestant, L'Isle de
France, which descended at | 10 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, at Hubersville,
n. j., few miles from the Atlantic
coast, may possibly be declared winner
sfter official measurements are CON-
pleled. The Pommern landed at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning, at Asbury
Park, N. j, apparently few miles
farther from ST. Louis than HubersVille.
Another German balloon, the Duessel-
dorf, stands third 10 the race. American
entries fnished fourth, fifth and eighth,
while THIRD German team finished sixth,
and another French team seventh. The
one English balloon entered fell far short
Of the others. The Pommern was piloted
by Oscar Erbesloehe, aided by d. II.
Clayton. while Alfred Leblanc and
Edgar w. Mix sailed the Elsie de
France.
The unofficial estimated airline fight
of the POmmern Is $50 miles, and that
of the isle de France is S75 miles. The
Dusseldorf, third, landed near Dover,
DEL, is estimated to have covered 100
miles.
Only the proximity of the Atlantic
Ocean stopped the fight of the Pom
meru. The balloon could have remain
ed in the air many hours longer, and
probably would have added several hun
bred miles TO its record but for The ex-
panse OF water ahead.
