f aVOrite Base Burner.

There is no necessity for shutting up your
home and living in just few rooms this win
ter. You can heat your entire home comfort
ably and with less cost than you paid for
heating one or two rooms last year.
That is, if you have FAVORITE Base
Burner.
The FAVORITE sends all the heat from
the fire into the room. None goes up the chin
ney. 1t is the only Base Burner you can say
this of.
The new model FAVORITE BASE
BURNER has added several square feet to it's
radiating surface. The old model had more
radiating surface than any other BASE
BURNER. The new model has increased this
advantage. You cannot find a place on the
FAvORITE that is not pouring heat into the
room.
The FAVORITE has the most perfect and
scientifically constructed fue system of any
Base Burner. The heat from the fire passes
into these fues and reaches every square inch
of the stove. And when the heat has to
traverse the entire surface of the FAVORITE
BASE BURNER before it reaches the Chin
ney, you can be sure that not very much heat
is going to waste.
You want to see the FAVORITE. Call at
our store and look at it. Get our salesman to
explain it to you It's of vital Importance to
your pocket book.

Supplanting Mere Man.

Kansas women are coming to the
front rapidly as bankers. A few
years ago only two women held Of
fetal positions In the banks of that
state. To-day there are more than
$50. or this number four are presi-
dents, fifteen vice presidents, fifty
cashiers, 220 assistant cashiers and
80 directors. This does not take
into account stenographcrs and
bookkeepers. II only includes the
list of women who have some say
in the actual management Of the
banks.
"If women were at the head of all
our financial institutions there would
be little need of bank supervision,
and there would be no bankers
colony in our penitentiaries.
This declaration was made by Miss
Anna Spcck, Of the bank commits
sioncr's Office, whose work is to 20
through the reports OF The bank cN-
amincrs and tell the bankers what
ails their institutions. Miss Speck
probably knows more about the con
ditions of Kansas state banks than
any other person. 1t is her bust
ness to know, and she does not shirk
her duty. Ii will no doubt be news
to many bankers to know that the
letters they receive from the bank
commissioner telling them where
their banks are out of joint are pre-
pared by a woman. But such is II
fact.
"The advance made by women In
the banking business, especially In
the past five years, is remarkable, "
said Miss Speck. "They are now
filling positions of responsibility,
and their keen insight into things,
their ability 10 read people and their
absolute honesty have made them
invaluable In banking circles. Re-
ports which reach my desk show
that IA bank whose affairs are man
aged by woman is in splendid con
dition. The banking room and desk

ting, cooking and dozens Of other
things In which Missouri farm men
aud women are Interested. Never
before has Missouri seen such a
meeting. 1t was really great
school for grOwn-ups. Then, II was
more than a school, for there was
an inspiration which comes as n re-
suit of the meeting together of men
and women from the farm-an in
SEPARATION such as no mere school of
the ordinary kind can give.
Throughout the week there was
study and entertainment, and on

HEROIC EFFORTS
SAVE TWO GIRLS
Dimple Faulkner and Flavia
Reid Narrowly Escape
Drowning.

The heroic efforts of three boys
saved two Aberdeen girls, Dimple
Faulkner and Flavia Reid, from
drowning in the surf Tuesday The
boys are Victor Bert, GLEN Wilcox
and Charles Reid, also of Aberdeen.
The young people were rafting in
the surf, when the two young ladies
left the raft and attempted to swim
to the beach. They were caught by
a breaker and swept out to sea again
Young Wilcox attempted to rescue
the girls but was also swept back
by the waves. Charles Reid then
went to their assistance, and the two
boys succeeded in bringing the girls
to shore with assistance from Bert.
Miss Reid was unconscious for two
hours after reaching shore.
The young people have been visit
ing friends at the beach. The acct
dent took place almost in front of
the Essex hotel. Miss Faulkner is
the 17-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. II. Faulkner and Miss Reid,
aged Is years, is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George B. Reid. The young
people are all high school students.
Eye witnesses are loud in praise
of the heroism Of Victol Bert in tia
rescue of Miss Reid, who had been
carried out beyond the breakers when
Bert started after her. BY the time
he reached the young lady he was al
most exhausted in fact, he stated al
forwards that he could not have gone
ten feet farther.

EGG INFECTION.

Have you ever seen an egg with
green mold inside? Well. that egg was
likely laid In filthy nest and was In
fected there.
You are reading much about in
fertile eggs, but seldom see anything
about infected eggs. yet do you know
the finest fertile egg may be so infect
ed by its environment as to almost be
come a rot on the spot?
Listen: There's that dirty nest full
Of bacteria in which the egg lies all
day. There's that hot place in which
the egg was stored until ready to in
cubate. There's that incubator that
was not scrubbed or disinfected after
hatch. There's that damp. dark cellar
with its smells or that badly ventilated
room with its rank. dead air where you
set the eggs and their embryos were
weakened or killed.
Yes; there are many ways by which
eggs are infected SO they become unit
for food and incubation. but this may
mostly be prevented by keeping them
in clean and cool environment.

TRACK LAYING
HALF FINISHED
Aberdeen Construction Co. is
Rushing the Work Between
Aberdeen and Hoquiam.

Track for the O.-W. r. G. n. line
between Aberdeen and Hoquiam is
more than half completed, and the
entire work contracted for by the Alb
erdeen Construction company will be
completed by August Is. This is the
statement made by Carl Gylling secre
tary of the construction company. The
work of laying track was begun at
the Chehalis river bridge in Aberdeen
and continued toward HoQuiam
Seventy-two pound, standard steel
rails are being laid on the new grade.
Ballasting will be begun shortly.

which we have contracted finished by
August 49," said Mr.. Gyllng. There
is no hitch whatever in the progress
of the work at present. If the bridge
is completed on time there will be no
danger but what the trains of the
.wo new roads will reach Hoquiam on
the schedule date
Shovel Is Moved
The construction company began the
work of removing it's steam shovel
from East HOquiam, having finished
grade work for the O.-W. r. & N. and
Milwaukee. The shovel will be ship
ped to Seattle.
Officials in charge of construction
work say that there is not the slight
est doubt that the O.-W. r. & n
company and the c., M. & p. S. will
tie running trains into Hoquiam by
September 1. Work on the Chehalis
river bridge at Aberdeen is progress
ing without delay, and the structure
will undoubtedly be ready for trains
almost as soon as the track between
Hoquiam and Aberdeen is completed.
AS has been previously announced,
the Oregon Washington line proposes
to put on through train service
from Hoquiam to Portland, and
similar service to Seattle. The Mil.
waukee line is expected to put on two
through trains at least.
Contractors in charge of the work
ON the Chehalis river bridge state that
tie accident by whcih a caisson was
broken will not delay the running of
trains into the city more than a
week.
