Electric Scales Have Been In

The .Freeland Brothers meat
market on Third street has installed
three beautiful new Toledo electric
scales which add much to the APP
pearance OF the meat market.
The scales were put up by A. j.
Childs,a OF the Toledo Scales Com

scales. The Toledo scale is the only
computing balance scale on the
market, and the Freeland brothers
are keeping up with the times in
getting these up-to-date scales in
their. place of business.
Several other concerns have adver-
tised their scales as balance scales,
but the Toledo Scale Company has
the only balance scale and the I'M
itators are being arrested as fast
as they sell their scales.

Discovery Of America Caused by a Bug

A bug, similar in many respects to
the cockroach of our day and time
is believed by some historians to be
responsible for the discovery Of
America.
This information is contained in an
criticize, written by the Rev. Alexander
barley, native of California, wko
has been engaged in historical re-
search in the Orient. He states that
the continent OF North America was
discovered seventeen centuries before
Columbus sailed on his memorable
voyage by a Chinese mariner named
Hee Ii who landed on the Pacific
ccest June 10, 217 B. -. near where
the city of Monterey, California, IS
NV situated. Authentic data has
been obtained to prove this assertion,
it is claimed, and also to prove the
influence of the bug on the opening
of transpacific commerce at a time
when Christianity was unheard of.
