GETS LIVING FROM THE WIND.
Burlington, Ind, Man Collects Cement
Dust and Mods II Into Blocks.

Chicago.--John Kelly Of Burlington,
Ind. once was a truck farmer, making
bare living. Now he is an opulent
manufacturer OF cement blocks with
an income OF s25 and little outlay.
All this is due TO the fact that the
wind happens to be blowing Kelly's
way and it is not an Ill wind" either.
Kelly's home Is two blocks from the
cement works Of the Illinois Steel
Company at Burlington. where a sS..
100000 plant grinds Stag and converts
Il into Portland cement. When the
wind blows of the lake clouds Of ce-
mentladen dust envelop the Kelly
home and the Kelly truck farm.
The owner. IN the hope OF saving his
garden greens, recently constructed
an immense shield OF the billboard
type at the rear end OF his lot, facing
the cement plant When the cement
dust comes his way It strikes the
board and falls in pile at the base
OF the shield
After that all that Kelly has to do
is to scoop up some gravel, mix 1t
with the cement and mold the mass
into blocks, for which he finds a ready
market.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch we're used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great

~ ATRICK HENRY is the patron
- saint of the American school
boy. He made two speeches,
each containing single sen
tence sufficient TO immortalize any or
ator Give me liberty or give me
death" These seven simple words still
thrill the breasts of lovers of freedom
throughout the world. Caesar had his
Brutus. Charles the First his Crom
well and George the Third Urea
son. Treason" cry the royaist dele
gates in horror And George the
Third" concludes Patrick Henry scorn
fully, may profit by their example. If
that be treason, make the most of it,.
BY these two speeches. which nerved
the colonists to stronger protest against
British misrule is Patrick Henry best
remembered, but there was much more
IN this provincial Virginian than mere
forensic fervor. Henry proved his
words by his deeds AS soldier, as leg
islator, as governor Of Virginia and in
all capacities to which he was called
he showed metal that rang true.
Yet Patrick Henry as boy and
youth was considered n ne'er-do-well.
He was n red headed. slouchy, ungain-
ly youngster caring little for school
and much for boyish adventures in
Wonderland He failed in three or four
business enterprises, including farming
and storekeeping. and, though mar
red man, was desperately poor.
Some years before he reached thirty,
however, Patrick Henry perked up and
astonished the Virginia natives. He
studied law about Il month and man
aged to obtain admission to the bar.
In surprisingly brief time he was
leader in his profession.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Patrick Henry was his ability
as Il declincr of office in his later
years. He declined Il seat in the Unit
ed States senate; he declined Washing
toms invitation to become secretary Of
state; uc declined the appointment to
the chief justiceship of the supreme
court of the United States; he declined
another election to the gOvernOrShip of
Virginia. though he did submit to elec-
ton TO the house of delegates but died
before taking his seat.
