Tin for Toys.

A use for old tin cans has been found, and they are being shipped in big cargoes from British Columbia
 where they accumulate at the canning ia ctories, to Germany, which nation utilizes them in the making of tin toys. Millions of these come over here every year and are consumed" by the juvenile portion of the com munity, to it's great and considerable comfort If all our old tin cans could be thus utilized there would be a big impetus to the toy trade and a good riddance of discarded tins which now threaten in time to bring all other things on the surface of the earth be- heath the vast accumulations. Tins will not go out of fashion as hoop skirts did. thus rescuing us from an impending entombment in indestructi- ble wire. We must use up the waste

Not So Bad a Sprino.

People are under the impression we have been having a very cold spring season; also a very wet one here abouts; and some apprehension exists as to the consequences to the crops. It has not been nearly as cold a spring as we had in 1907, when summer warmth did not begin to appear until about the middle of June. Many houses in Springfield kept their fur naces going without a break clear to the 11th or 12th of June, and the oldest inhabitants were having their memories taxed to recall the equal of temperature of May, 1907. as recorded al the Armory from tri-daily observa- tions was 53.9S degrees, compared with GA for May of this year. The month last year was colder than this with mean temperature of 60.20- We seem to have lately had an unusual amount of cloudy weather, and rain was so frequent during May-and June so far seems to have been worse as to give the impression that the month was exceptionally wet Yet the Armory reported for last month total precipitation of only 2.26 inches com pared with a May average for 63 years of AIS. As to the effect of the appar- ently cold and cloudy weather on the crops. it seems to be more likely to prove beneficial than not, provided heat and sunshine come later in abundance. The agricultural depart ment reports the condition of apples. peaches and similar fruits to be much above the average for the season in all the eastern and far western sec tions-the central sections having been adversely affected by the April frosts. Cold and backward springs usually tell nothing against abundant harvests Dr. Frissell of this city, in a recent letter to The Republican, recalls the very cold spring of 1875. which was as noticeable in Michigan as here, when the trees had not put out their leaves as late as May 25- Yet the wheat crop of that year was next to the largest known up to that time. and the corn crop was the largest.-Spring- field Republican

as a congressman to the best of our
several abilities. We would en-
deavor to have passed such laws as
would benefit the residents OF Bing-
vile and the surrounding country
and would work night and day for
home interests. We would try 10
have laws passed to prevent auto
mobiles from passing through our
midst so fast and would never lose
! a opportunity to say a good word
for Bingville as a desirable site for
the locashion of manufacturing in
dustries.
If you think we are entitled 70
your suffrage, kindly give us same.
When the time comes for us TO an
nounce our candidacy, we shall use
the columns of the Bugle to boom
ourself into office and will also use
this publicashion to puncture the
boom of our opponent, whoever he
may be- We trust that YOU will
not come to any hasty conclushion

AIIOGh Was Het Up Some

Ariooh Wilkins had turrible exner;-
ence one ev'g last week. Ariocb k.tcb,d
Oao cold somewhere or other. and had
awful cough on his lungs. so Mrs
Deevers told Arioch's wife that if she
would give Arioch a good sweat It
would cure up his cold over night 60
Mrs Wilkins thort she would trv 2
sweat on Arioch. Accordingly before
ne went 70 bed she made him hattie HE
ieet in hot water, then she made him
drink a quart of ginger tea, so hot that
II almost burnt Arioch's insides or.en
him. Arioch said it scorched his throat
all the way down. Then Mrs. Wilkins
put a pepper sticking plaster on Ariocb's
back and made him put on two suits
OF clothes and go to bed. after which
she put hot soap stone to his feet and
piled on him all the covers she could
md about the house Mrs. Wilkins then
told Arioch to lie still and 20 TO sleeo
and not to dare throw off the bed
clothes, so she bid him good night and
went down into the back parlor where
she had made herself up bed on the
floor.
Well it was a hot night ANYHOW. and
that same day at noon Arioch said his
thermometer registered @ degrees in
the shade on his back piazza. 1t was
was not long before Arioch begin to get
hot all over. He said the sweat rolled
often him in stream. He said he never
sweat in baying time any worse than
he did in NAT bed. To make matters
worse, the pepper plaster on his back
begin to take hold and it wasn't long
before Arioch wasin mortal agony. He
stood the punishment jest as long as he
could and thea he got mad and with a
turrible oath, flung the covers often his
self, jumped outen bed, tore off mis-
clothes, put on night gown and went
down on the front piazza and set on the
steps in a draught to cool of. After he
got cool he tried to pull off the stick
ing plaster, but it wouldn't come. Then
he backed up against the door janb
and tried to rub it off, but it wouldn't
rub, and you can believe it or not, but
that sticking plaster is on yet and Arioch
calhlates il it ever does come off It
will have to wear off. Arioch IS now in

didn't like the idee Of shooting a human
being down in cold blood Jest becuz nc

So Seth, he still kept his revolver
pointed at the man and backed away
from him anti he was outen sight
around the building Then he broke into
a run, not becuz he was afeared, but
becuz he was in a hurry to secure help.
The nearest house was that Of Hen
Weathersby, prop of the store. Sch
hammered on the door and Hen raised
the upstairs window and desired 10
know what was wanted at that time OF
night, and Seth explained that there was
desperate character on the front piazza
of the store and for him to dress and
come down and they would take him
dead or alive. Hen told Seth 10 60
along and take the desperate character
hisself and not bother him. being as
he was going back to oed and get some
sleep, but Seth told Hen that the man
might burn up his store, for all he
knowed, so Hen got interested and
dressed and come down stairs.
Seth and Her returned to the store by
back way and crawled along on their
hands and knees until they got 10 the
front piazza, when they was a good deal
amazed and surprised TO find the feller
still standing there. Suddenly Hen
rolled over on the ground and held his
sides and hollered and laughed and
acted like a blame fool Keep quiet.

for desperate character was nothin'
more than dressed-up wooden dummy
with a suit of store clothes on and
stiff brimmer hat. which Hen had forgot
to take often the front piazza when he
locked up the store the night before
Hen poked a good cal of fun at Seth
for being fooled BY a wooden man and
Seth didn't like It very well either and
he told Hen that hereafter if he should
