hEPAIko AND NEW bIILUING
The desire of school districts to take advantage
of the special state aid for school of the first class
has led to many much needed improvements
Money thus expended for the year ending June 80
1908, was S5759. % and for the year ending June
30 1909 it was S11160.26, an increase of S54OO.31,
nearly equal to all like expenditures of 1907-19OS
This has been a great help to the material phase
of our schools. These repairs consisted of adequ-
ate heating and ventilating systems, maps, globes,
blackboards, etc. Repairing consisted of better
windows, tight doors, floors, sanitary out
buildings as well as some new buildings through

burg address was presented to the
State Street Annex today by members
of James A. Garfield Post, No. 4, G.. A.
r. William r. Keyser made the pres
entation speech. He spoke feelingly of
Lincoln. He said that patriotism was
the n thing that should be kept alive
by old and young alike, even when all
other feelings were dead.
Comrade John Dreamer recited the
address with much feeling. and Com
rade Keyser sang "The Cuban Hero"
which was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Barr, the principal Of the school.
made a reply to the presentation
speech and told how patriotism was in
stilled in the pupils by means of
hag-drills, songs and stories. The pu-
pills sang MY Country. 'Tis of Thee"
with so much feeling that one of the
G. a. r. boys said when leaving tn.
assembly hall:
IF all the schoolchildren in the coun-
try a sing that song like that-from
the heart-we need w fear that the
United States will be without protec-
ton in time of war"

NJ The TWENTY-FIVE years we have spent going to
school on the adding machine question have taught
us the folly of the dangerously clever stunts that
look good, 'talk well, " but don't last; have shown
us what can and what cannot be safely asked of any
adding and listing machine. The benefit of this
experience is a real tangible part of what you pay
for in buying a Burroughs.
" We build the Burroughs from bottom to top, in
our own factory. 1t is not an assembled machine,
depending upon good luck and much persuasion to
60 together as the designer thought it should.
VI We stand back of everything that goes into our
product, from the rightness Of the mechanical
principle on which it is constructed to the accuracy
and quality of the smallest screw in the most
Insignificant part.
VI We have no apologies to make for the character,
adaptablity, or behavior OF our output; no excuses
to make for present failures that I'VE have a better
model coming through the factory
Y The Burroughs has not changed IFS model ii
sixteen years. We believe ANYTHING that has
received during all its life a. continually increasing
share of public approval, in spite of competition, is
good to stick to for both seller and buyer.
Y The Burroughs is a safe machine, we adopt no
feature because it is new, drop rothing because il
is old, but we test and try each o. iundreds of
ideas in the crucible of ever '-iay business. Every
new thing we ask you to accept Is o9-i00 line, or
it never reaches the public, and you'll never be
asked to pay for chr experiments.
VI Ne place our millions of capital, our prestige of
principles and the So different Burroughs machines.

'nE joke OF this whole "jUst-as-good-as-the Burroughs"
4 argument is that nobody believes %it---neither The sales
man who makes the claim because he wants a sale,
nor the man who tries TO hypnoize himself into believing
il because he wants 10 pay a smaller price.

VI The fortunate part of it is the average buyer of
adding machines is realizing that while be NAV be
able to see little difference in mechaniSms, that it is
right there the reasons for short lived, trouble max
ing machines arise.
VI For sixteen years or more we have been talking
about the mechanical reasons why the Burroughs
is best. There can be no other reasons, because an
adding machine is a piece of mechanism. A ma
chine is a good or bad, a profitable or Improbable
investment, in proportion as it is a serviceable,
durable piece of mechanism.
If a piece of mechanism does not conform to
known mechanical laws, it goes to pieces Just as
inevitably as a man improperly constructed.
u We didn't invent the Burroughs principle.
Mechanical laws have a big her source than any man
or set Of men.
VI Some people may tell you that pulling a sled
over the earth is as easy as pulling a wagon; il may
look as easy, but YOU know it isn't. But you don't
know that the sliding principle, the governor-less
control, in an adding machine, are not safe-that
1t will not wear-but you do know that the price
is cheaper.
Y We've been all through that, and we have the
nervy capitalists and determined investors who
backed up the other style of machines, to guide us
by their disappointment and failure.
Ct We haven't enough egotism in our organization
to believe that we can alter the changeless, eternal
law that has decreed the mechanical principle on
which the Burroughs was designed to be the only
safe one, for a piece of mechanism designed to do
its work for business lifetime.

Some new collars are made of a
wide piece of delicately colored silk,
satin or velvet shirred at top, center
and bottom and faced with pale tint
ed satin, which also forms ruff about
the throat. They fasten at the back
beneath enormously wide ribbon bows
of the rufffacing color tied in two
loops that extend winglike from the
throat, while two long, tassel-fnished
ends are drawn toward the front,
tackled directly beneath the chin and
thence allowed to fall over the blouse

or messaline with silver-faced edges
and wide silver ribbon or wired tulle
bows with silver tasselfnisfed ends.
They are immensely effective with a

lief to one all of black.
