Story of a Factory Whose Products
Are Now Highly Priced.
At the end of the North parade
Lowestoft, is the Warren House, a
place of great interest to connoisseurs
of china. 1t was here, in the eight
eenth century, that discovery of
fine clay was made which eventually
led to Lowestoft manufacturing the
china which is now so rare that 1t is
almost priceless.
Initial experiments made by Hewlin
Luson, Esq. Of Gunton Park, near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay discov-
cred accidentally on his estate result
ed in complete success and ultimately
led to the opening of a factory at
Lowestoft in 1856 for the manufacture
of fine earthenware and porcelain "soft
paste"
In 1915 finely glazed and decorated
hard paste" was introduced the eff
ficicncy and beauty Of which beto-
kened brilliant success for the pro-
prietors. Contemporary evidence in
disputably shows that from ITO to
1900 the Lowestoft works were at the
zenith Of their fame. Owing. however,
to the enormous expenses and difficult
ty incurred in procuring china clay
from Cornwall and elsewhere (after
the original clay was exhausted and
the rapidly increasing competition of
other makers it's prosperity waned. the
collapse came. and the works were
closed in 1S03.-London Globe.

CLEANING A CLOCK.
II Is Not Very Difficult, According TO
These Directions.

These Directions.
1t Is very simple to clean a clock,
which may sound rather absurd For
an amateur it is not always necessary
to take the clock to pieces. With Il
little care and patience and using some
benzine, clean white rag, a sable
brush and some oil a clock can be
cleaned and put in first class running
order The benzine should be clean
and free from oil You can test ben
zine by putting Il little on the back Of
the hand If it is good, 1t will dry off,
leaving the hand quite clean, but If
any grease remains on the hand it is
not lit to use.
The oil should be of the very best
that can be procured. Vegetable oils
should never be used. Clock oil can be
procured from your druggist or jeweler.
All loose dirt should be removed from
the works by blowing with bellows or
fan or dusting with dry brush. In
the latter case great care should be ex-
ercised not to injure any Of the parts.
Dip the brush in the benzine and clean
the spindles and spindle holes and the
teeth of the escapement wheel. After
washing a part wipe the brush on the
rag and rinse in the benzine. This
should be repeated frequently until no
more dirt is seen.
When the clock has dried oil the spin
die holes carefully. This may be done
with toothpick or a silver Of wood
cut to fine point. Oil the tooth of the
escapement wheel slightly, using a fine
brush.-Popular Mechanics.

BESSIE" Was Fourth.

Word comes from Warren, where
the Marshall county fair was held
this week, that Bessie Barolite, the
PAGER owned by Thoma Newly of
this city, did not make a very good
showing in the Eli pace in the
races there.
Luke Vernon was first, Mixer Sec
ond, Lockstep third and Bessie Baro-
lite fourth.
Bessie beat Mixer and Luke Ver-
non at the Thief River Falls fair
last week, but the mare evidently
did not pace her usual fast race,
as from the showing she has made
so far this season she should - be
right in the front with the horses
who beat her at Warren.
It is more than likely that the
same horses will race here at the
Beltrami county fair, September
24-25-26, and it is safe bet" that
Mr.. Newly will not take much of
the dust of any of the other nags
that will enter the race with Bessie
Barolite here.

Mr.. Hakkerup is at loss to know
how the fire started as it was evident
that the flames originated in the
dark room of the studio. The
infammable nature of the pictures,
canvas, etc., in the interior of the
studio was almost as powder to the
flames and it was with the utmost
difficulty that the fire department
managed to get the best of the

STRONGLY OPPOSES TAFT

Political Matters.

Bishop Walters (coIored) Discusses
Political Matters.
New York, Aug. 13.-Bishop Alex
ander Walters, president of the Ma
t1onal Afro-American council, who re-
sides in this city, has come out
strongly against Mr.. Taft, the. Repub-
lican nominee for the presidency. In
an interview he declared that it is
time there be a division of the negro
vote in the United States. He does
not take any stock in the promises Of
high Republican officials, he says.
Speaking of his present stand as an
anti-Taft man Bishop Walters says:
The Republican party has shown
itself impotent to enact further legis-
lation in our interest. This is evil
denced by the failure to have con-
gress pass q bill to have lynchers
tried in the federal courts and to en-
act legislation reducing Southern rep
resentatton in congress. III y =
The Republican party, through it's
president, Theodore Roosevelt. and it's
candidate for the presidency, William
H. Taft, and its national convention,
recently held in Chicago, has endorsed
the lily white movement of the South,
which means the elimination Of the
negro" "

His unanimuos nomination, land

BEMIDJINs Will INSPECT
The BAGLfY CREAMERY
Local Business Men Will Be Shown
Up-to-Date Farming at Clearwater
County Seat.

In order that they may become
more familiar with dairying and
the manufacture Of dairy products
by means Of creamery, a number
OF business men of Bemidji will
visit Bagley Friday afternoon for
the purpose Of inspecting the dair-
les at that place and look over
some farms where dairy stock is
being raised.
The project Of the visit to Bagley
was promoted by w. r. Mackenzie,
prominent local land man, and is
intended primarily to promote inter-
est in the forthcoming third annual
fair Of the Beltrami. County Agri-
cultural Association, which will be
held in Bemidji September "a, Is
and rs. * :, ~ Z.
The citizens of Bagley and the
farmers Of Clearwater county have
been intensely interested in dairy
ing during the past two years, with
the result that there is splendid
creamery in operation at Bagley
and several -creameries in other
parts Of Clearwater county are in a
furnishing condition.
The citizens of Bemidji and the
farmers throughout Beltrami county
have been somewhat backward in
dairy farming and it is hoped that
the trip to Bagley will be beneficial
to the business men and farmers
of Beltrami county in general.
1t is expected that A. J. Mcclure
of. Grand Rapids, superintendent of
the Northeast Experimental Station,
will accompany the Bemidji people
on their trip to Bagley and will
assist in showing the good points
of dairying. .@-,
The following Bemidji people will
20 on the trip and will leave this
city at 3:42 on the G.. N. west-bound
passenger train:
Mayor J. P. Pogue, J. P. O'Leary,
Yves Wright, A., A. Melges, J. J.
Opsahl, Charles Nangle, w. G..

Matt Phibbs,c w. E.. Neal, G.. E.
Carson, W. l.. Brooks, A. G..
Rutledge, W. r.. Mackenzie, John
Fleming and c. L. Bang. ~~
A general invitation is extended
to all residents of Bemidji to partici-
pate in this trip, which will
undoubtedly be of great benefit and
result in much good to the dairy
farmers in the county.
