A Clock Case Made of Pennies.

.
 A novelty in clockmaking consists of a timepiece whose case is made of English pennies. The coins, of which there are nirety-six, all bea- the date 1797 and were beaten out to almost double their original size and then riveted together, while the figures were made of small strips of copper cement ed on to tue face. The clock stands fourteen inches high and is eight inch es broad at the base. That time is money" is an adage with which we all more or less agree. but this is case in which the saying might be reversed and still remain true. The clock is owned by resident of Laurel Bank.

Delicate summer curtain

Delicate summer curtains, draperies, tapestries, faces, women's fine raiment- things that would be ruined by washing in the old-fashioned way-can be cleaned at home with -Naptha as we'll as an expert cleaner could do 1t.
 Fels-Naptha contains no injurious chemicals; nothing that could harm the. most delicate fabric. Sets colors instead of making them run as most soaps do.
 With Fels-Naptha, use only cold or lukewarm water-never hot. That saves the fabric. Hot water would soften 1t and cause fraying.
 Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt; you don't have to rub 1t loose as with ordinary soap.
 More than million women do their washing with Fels- Naptha. They have found out that -Naptha is the best and easiest way.

THE EVERETT BOX FACTORY.

The Everett Box Factory, located at
Everett, Wash, in it's invitation for the
business of the Northwest, makes the
following statements concerning It's
growth They are such as should appeal
to all users of boxes. Our company is
composed of G. w. Lettelier and sons,
who have been in the box manufactur-
ing business for the last 16 years. The
writer, w. H. Lettelier, the eldest son,
is manager of the company, and prior
to the establishment of the factory In
Everett had charge of the box Depart
ment of a large factory in Tacoma, pre-
vious to which he was connected with
factory in Los Angeles, Cal. for num-
business in Everett in July, 1905, on a
very conservative basis, and owing to
sound business methods employed, and
perfect knowledge of tue business,
has achieved a remarkable success
The business has grown to about five
times the original proportions, and the
aim of the company has always been TO
give the best possible article at as low
a price as is consistent with the quality
of the stock, and allowing n reasonable
profit.
Our location is an ideal one, being in
the very center of the market for raw
material, and has no doubt been fac
tor in the making Of our success. We
employ only men skilled In our part1cu-
lar line of work, and have some men
in our employ who have been with us
for from to Is years.
We ship our product to the east, Cali
fornia and to South American points,
but make a speciality of catering to the
needs of our own state and community
We are contemplating moving our rae
tory to a more commodious site, and
charging, the plant, where we will have
better shipping facilities, and where we
will be in a position to handle any bust
ness that may be offered.

ROSE-SLUG.

The rose-slug has become serious
enemy to cultivated roses in many
places. The insect is double brooded
and is a comparatively easy pest to
keep in control.
The adult is a black fly about as
large as the ordinary house fly. Early
in June eggs are deposited within the
tissue of the leaves and the little
slugs hatch from them and eat off the
green tissue of the upper surface OF
the leaves. When these slugs mature,
they descend to the ground and pass
the pupa stage in silken cocoons
which the slugs spin about themselves
About two weeks later the second
brood of flies appears and deposits
eggs, as in the case of the spring
brood, and again the rose bushes are
defoliated.
The best remedy to use against this
insect is white hellebore, which may
be lightly busted over the foliage
from a small cheesecloth sack, pre-
ferably towards evening; or the helle-
bore may bee put into water in the
proportion of one ounce to three gal
Ions, and then the foliage is treated
by sprinkling or spraying this poisoned
water over the bushes. There need be
no fear in using this poison quite
freely for the destruction of the slugs,
as it loses it's poisonous properties
quite rapidly when it is exposed to the
air, and it requires considerable
quantity of it to produce poisonous
effects upon man.

BOX FACTORY GROWING.

One of the largest concerns in the
Pacific Northwest supplying fruit
boxes to the horticulturists Of this ter
ritory is the Anacortes Lumber &
Box Co., situated at Anacortes, Wash.
1t is worthy of note as the demand
for boxes from the rapidly increasing
number of fruit growers has so extend
ed within the last few years that this
big plant at Anacortes has recently
remodeled their entire factory and
practically doubled it's capacity. The
Anacortes Lumber e Box Co. is one
of the largest establishments OF it's
kind in this state, and with it's doubled
capacity will be one of the greatest
in the country. 1t will now become
an exporting plant and will have a
first class deep water dock where the
largest steamships can load, and by
August list it will be employing 200
men, all first class white labor. The
box factory capacity will be increased
from 40, 900 feet daily to at least 10000
feet, logical, daily capacity. These ex-
tensions and improvements will neces-
state an expenditure of from $685. 900
to $4,000, which will place this plant
in position to handle the rapidly in
creasing orders from our fruit growers
in the most satisfactory manner and
without the slightest delay.

MILLIONS IN TIMBER.

Is predicted by Mr.. w. d. Newton, gen.
eral manager of the international Lum-
Der Co., with offices at 1909 American
Bank building, Seattle, Wn., who has
just returned from an extended tour
through Northwest British Columbia
along the survey of the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway, where everything is now
underway on the big transcontinental
railway, which is opening up the largest
undeveloped country on the western con-
tinent There being agricultural land
along this line of railway, for at least
four million people, and as there is no
timber to be had in the farming section,
it will be the greatest market for lum-
Der in the Pacific Northwest. Mr.. New
ton is at the present time organizing
a lumber company to supply this trade,
besides supplying the ever increasing de-
mand at Prince Rupert, which he pre-
diets will be a city of at least $4,000 in
one year from October l, 1909.

River enters the everglades were
sent to the Audubon officials on
March 9th, 1905, AT the time an ex-
ploring party described the tropical
birds in these unknown parts as

sion that their discovery might lead
to some inroads by the worlds army
OF professional bird butchers. Since
the first word of this find came to the
ears Of the millinery marauders, all
live feathered creatures have been
exterminated throughout the entire
region.

Of the professional plume hunters,

spoiled Americas rarest resorts, Eng

From end to end the British Empire

similar to the model law, which the
Audubon workers have succeeded In
leading almost every state in this
country to adopt, is to-day being
pressed by Lord Averbury in the
House OF Lords for the prohibition of
the importation of the plumage, skin
or body of all wild birds except ostri-
ches, elder ducks and birds used as
articles of diet Acting upon the
startling reports from Florida, the
Audubon officials declared to-day
that laws against the sale Of the

of where they were taken, would be
urged throughout this country, AL
