NORTH MANKATO NOTES.

Mr.. Chase, expert boiler inspector
for the Hartford Steam Boiler In
spection and Insurance company,
made an inspection of the boiler OF
the heating plant of the school yes
terday afternoon. Two members OF
the board of education were present,
to whom he explained fully the con-
dition of the tubes while proceeding
with the testing by the usual meth
DDS employed on low pressure boil
ers. He entered all parts OF the
boiler possible and found the general
condition good, although the tubes
were somewhat pitted. This, how
ever, was not of serious consequence.
No chances were being run as far as
danger from explosion was concern
ed, but if any of the tubes should
leak during the winter it would mean
the closing of school for a week or
more while new tubes were being
put in. The inspection, Mr.. Chase,
said, is as of much value to the in
sured as a means of assuring good
care of the boiler, as the protection
from explosion, especially is this truo
of the low pressure boilers of heat
ing plants. AS carelessness or igno-
rance might ruin boiler in very
short time. The Hartford company
makes four inspections of the boiler
during the year, according to the
agreement of their policy. The state
accepts these inspections, thus saw
ing the school district the cost of
the state inspection required by law.
The present inspection was made es-
pecially to explain more fully the
last report made as the school board
did not feel certain as to the condi-
ton of the boiler, whether or not
there was any danger. AS has been
stated, no danger whatever exists
except the possible Inconvenience of
replacing the tubes during the win
ter, which he does not think prob
] able, but it is very difficult to say

Now is the time to get good and
busy. Why, the one who gets busy
right now, is the one most likely to
get the $3.50 1912 Model Hupmobile
or that fine $350.00 Piano. The con-
test is now on at fever heat, and it
is the one who sticks to the finish
who will find themselves the best Off,
when the prizes are awarded. We
have found in closing contests that
it is generally the work done in the
last few weeks of the contest which
decides who the winner will be. 1t
has come to the point where the
workers are settled down to the
work of securing and turning in
subscriptions. The time for talk and
conjecture has passed. Either you
are in to win or you are tagging. Ii
the latter is the case, the outcome
of such a candidate should be plain
to YOU Nothing succeeds like success,
and to be successful you must at the
same time be persistent and conf
dent in what you undertake. The
feeling that you can win if you
wish will do much to help you on in
your work. A person with sufficient
confidence can accomplish whatever
he or she wishes.
The final count, Saturday. night,
October 2Sth, will be taken by judges
appointed by the candidates, and
will decide who the people of Man.
kato and vicinity have picked out
as the most popular candidate, and
who will be awarded the Hupmobile.
Every candidate can have a Judge
to assist in the counting, so that all
will be assured of a square deal. If
any candidate is dissatisfied with
her standing, and thinks she should
have more votes, now is the time
for her to speak up, as we will be
glad to rectify any mistakes.
