The growth OF a town should be
the first consideration OF each and
every one OF its property owners and
inhabitants. Continued growth is
only possible where such town
keeps up with its surrounding towns
in the way of new industries and
modern improvements. No capit-
allst OF today cares To or will invest
his money in the placing OF manut-
acturies where the towns 5 present in
habitants show lack OF desire for
progress and do not evince a will
ingness to promote all sorts of city
improvements aud keep up with the
times, The capitalist will shun
such place like he would a pestil-
ence and put his money in town
where II has been already shown
that men of his stamp await him
a place that is constantly adopting
new measures for its own benefit
and the enhancement of the value OF
its property, Eveu men without
capllal prefer the llNe toWn-lne
town that is always doing things
and not content to sleeply wait for
someone else To come in and do the
things that they should do them
selves, The working mau knows
that in live town, he will gener-
ally find something to labor at; the
merchant knows that in live town
new people will be constantly at
tracted to its advantages and that
business will be brisk and continu-
ouse; The homeseeker knows that
the property he purchases will not
decrease in value; and the capitalist
knows that such a place is a safe in

Since spring is opening up in good
shape, 1t would be wise to look well
to the quality Of the meat you are
using. A good diet guarantees good
health. and IL your meat is lacking
In quality your health must suffer in
consequence. In the spring time the
blood needs the very best nourish-
ment to aid 1t in casting off the ac-
cummulations and impurities that the
body has absorbed during the winter
season and meat Is the great body
builder. New tissues replace the
old, new blood asserts itself and the
body is practically made anew in
the spring time. Therefore It be-
hooves the public to know beyond a
shadow of a doubt that their meats
are only of the best.

A Wonderful Machine

st. Johns has something that no
other city in the world can boast Of.
and that Is a combination machine
invented and placed in position in
the Holbrook building on Jersey and
Richmond streets by Eward Rawson.
Mr.. Rawson recently came from Lew
iston, Idaho, where he invented and
constructed the first machine. IL Is
now on display and any one inter-
ested is at liberty to call In and ex.
anime the invention. IL is a whole
machine shop within itself. and II
there Ia anything the machine Will
not do except talk the fact has not
yet been revealed. There are sixty
different things Mr.. Rawson can do
with the machine In sixty minutes,
and do them with ease. While com.
pact and neat In appearance there
is plenty of room for four men to
work at the machine at one time
without interfering with each other.
A planer, lathe. cut off. borer. and
in fact any machine that is usually
utilized In first class machine
shop, and then some. are combined
In this wonderful piece of machinery.
Mr.. Rawson is here to demonstrate
what the machine will do and also
to interest capital In manufacturing
them. The invention is so feasible.
so marvellous and such labor saver
that II will not be many years until
every machine shop In the country
will have one of them. What usually
takes from half an hour to an hour
to change ordinary machinery on this
machine only a minute is required
to make the same change. The In.
ventor has on exhibition some hand.
some designs OF decorative work that
he turned out from an old pear
tree. As Instances Of what the ma.
chine will do they are certainly gems
in every way. Il is to be hoped that
capital will become Interested and the
plant be located In ST. Johns.
