Patent for IS dtertOWn Man

A patent has been issued to Ru-
dolph B. Herman, WATERFOWL, 1t
is ventilating stop and lock for Win
dows. This device is adapted for at
tachment to the upper sash of a bed
room window and will allow the lower
sash to be lifted high enough for pur-
poses Of ventilation, but not high en-
ough to let in a burglar. The device
is built somewhat like an ordinary
hinge with one leaf attached to the
upper sash of the window and the 9th
er leaf arranged to swing outward
over the lower sash, where it acts as
a stop to limit the distance through
which the sash may be lifted. A
spring serves to hold the outstanding
leaf in such position that it cannot be
tempered with from without. When
the device. is not needed, as during
the daytime, an ingenious catch holds
it in closed position, out of the way of
the sash. The sash can then be lifted
freely to it's full height.

YOUR DOY
This is q serious talk to parents
about the boy-the common, everyday
garden variety Of boy.
He Is a great Institution.
He Is bigger than factory or farm or
business. because he has In him the
making of man. and man Is the
biggest thing in the universe.
Also the boy may miss being a man
and become q mere thing!
Naturally there is a lot Of good in
your boy. He Is inclined to be trust
full. He has a very keen sense Of JUS
tice. And his heart is wide open to
the influences that appeal to his pride
and manliness. he wants to do his
best.
Now. all Of this in your boy is tine
raw material out of which you may
manufacture manliness But
If you want to get the most out of
him believe In him. Just make be-
neve will not do. He will find you
out.
II you really believe In him he with
believe in you. which is your starting
point.
And II you really believe in him you
will not scold him or find fault with
him all the time. because that sort of
treatment does not bring out the good
in him. 1t brings out the bad in him.
If you would get at the heart Of him
cultivate his ambition and foster his
natural desire to do his best by en-
couragement.
Because the boy will grow into the

to have . law enacted to make it the
duty of the county commissioner to
subscribe for one or two Of the leading
newspapers of the county, and have
them substantially bound In convenient
volumes and safely stored away for
future use. The expense would be tri-
fling. Almost any publisher would
willingly give copy of his paper for
such purpose. free of charge. Then
only the binding would be to pay for
and that would not exceed eight or ten
dollars q year. Are these not strong
reasons why something Of this kind
should be done.
