meeting they unanimously resolved
that things generally in the town were
not run to suit them, and ordered this
resolution spread upon the minutes.
One Of the cardinal principles OF the
club is for members to attend strictly
to other peoples business. Ii is also
particularly enjoined upon the broth
erhood that they must knock any or
ganized effort to do something Tor the
material, social or moral betterment Of
the community. Anything Of this sort
is trivial and beneath the notice OF the.
wise guys who compose this honorable
club. It's cinch that nothing can be
done to suit them.
These profound philosophers, while
their craniums never gave birth to an
idea that contributed to the well being
and happiness Of folks at large, are
dead sure TO pooh-hoo anything that
they do-they' being the citizens who

Roofing TlIes Of Concrete.

Roofing tiles made of concrete were
introduced some time ago, and while
it was evident that their use was to
be attended with beneficial results in
some directions, their progress into
favor was slow, for the reason that
there had not been ample opportunity
for the demonstration of their merits
and dement's. It has been shown,
however that they are very durable
and especially suited for use on fac
tories and other buildings where the
roof is subjected to thspdeterioration
from the action of steam, smoke and
acid fumes and at present they are
in great demand for such purposesi
This style of roofing is being MADE
use of to great extent on the larger
structures Of the new plant Of the
United States Steel company at Gary,
Ind, where an order was given for
$4,000 squares.
