Akers' Patent Draper Clamp.

M. L. Akers of the Pendleton Iron
Works, was in the city Monday and
Tuesday. taking orders for header and
harvester diapers equipped with his
patent draper clamps. With the use
of those clamps there are no Iivets to
wear off aud there are no split draper
sticks. The clamp is first riveted to the
belt and canvas. the rivet heads being
counter sunk. The beveled stick is
then put in and the jaws Of the clamp
are firmly set up to the stick. There
are four brads struck up from the
face Of the jaws which are driven into
the stick when the jaws are set up.
and the stick is held as if IN a wise.
Mr.. Akers has taken orders for large
number of drapers this season. all
being equipped with his patent fas-
teners. The clamps are no expert
ment. having been on the market sew
eral years and the first complaint is
yet to be made.

A REAL AUTOMOBILE MARVEL
Libertv-B Brush Runabout Will Sell
for $3.50.

The biggest gun ever fired in the
automobile industry was set off recent
ly by the United States Motor com
pany. when announcement was made
that the company has produced
guaranteed efficient automobile to
sell for $3.50.
The car is named the Liberty Brush,
and in some respects it resembles the
Brush runabout. 1t is capable of every
service which can be expected of a
runa bout aud is built with power
plant that will travel $4,000 miles.
This makes the cost one-half cent
per passenger mile aud in addition to
being the cheapest form of transport
alton. it means the arrival Of the
automobile which every one can buy.
The Liberty. Brush is expected to
| lind its greatest use among statesmen, 4,
solicitors, collectors. r. 4. ID. carriers.
physicians. contractors aud dozens OF
other lines of business in fact, every
one who uses horse and buggy can
get cheaper, quicker and greater ser
vice from this runabout.
The announcement marks an epoch
10 the motor Car industry and the sal
walton of the horse, to say nothing of
the increased radius of action which
it supplies to the individual. The
Liberty Brush is built in the Detroit
factories of the United States Motor
company and will be marketed through
the vast selling organization which
the company has built up. The design
of the car is based on the wisdom
acquired from many years experience
in building utility runabouts. 1t has

baggage, the utmost ease of control
and a range of speed equal to every
demand of pleasure or utility.

HOW TO BECOME INVISIBLE.
A Sample of tho Mummery Used In
Ancient Witchcraft.

Some curious formulas of ancient
witchcraft are given in Mr.. A. e.
Waite's Book of Ceremonial Magic"
Here is n recipe for becoming invis-
ible:
"Regin this operation on a Wednes-
day before the sun rises, being fur
nished with seven black beans. Take
next the head of a dead man. Place
one Of the beans in his mouth, two IN
his eyes and two In his ears Then
ma.:e upon the head the character Of
the figure which here follows. Omit
ted This done, inter the head with
the face toward heaven, and every day
before sunrise for the space of nine
days water it with excellent brandy.
ION the eighth day you will find the
cited spirit. who will say unto you:
what doest thou? You shall reply: I
am watering my plant He will then
say: Give me that bottle; will water
it myself You will answer by refus-
ing. and he will again ask you, but
you will persist in declining until he
shall stretch forth his hand and show
you the same figure which you have
traced upon the head suspended from
the tips of his fingers. In this case
you may be assured that it is really
the spirit of the head, because another
might take you unawares, which
would bring you evil, and, further,
your operation would be unfruitful
When you have given him your via
he will water the head and depart
On the morrow, which Is the nintt
day, you shall return and shall fint
your beans ripe. Take them, place
one in your mouth and then look a
yourself in a glass. If you cannot se'
yourself 1t is good. Do the same will
the rest or they may be tested in tn
mouth of a child"

SWAGGART HOME DESTROYED
Household Goods in Lower Rooms
Saved By Willing Hands.

Fire destroyed A. L. Swaggart's
farm home north of town, yesterday
afternoon. Mis-. Swaggart was alone
at the time the fire broke out. and
she notified neighpors ty phone that
her home was on fire.
In short time several neighbors
were on the scene, and turned their
attention to saving household goods
on the lower floor, the upstairs rooms
being in flames. A number of men
went out from town in automobiles
and arrived in time to assist in carry
ing household effects to places of
safety.
Mr.. Swaggart was in Pendleton
and the only persons at the house were
Mrs. Swaggart and her little bov,
the hired man being in the field. The
lady had been ironing during the fore
noon, but the coal fire had died down
in the range so that she replenished it
with wood to get the monday meal.
About $3.50 p. m. she heard a crack
ling sound and Investigation revealed
the upper rooms on the north end of
the house to be in flames, with the
window glass falling out. She gave
the alarm by phone and quick response
by willing helpels was the result.
Fortunately. the wind was in the
north, otherwise the barn and other
buildings may have been destroyed.
AS it was, the water tower, acetylene
gas plant, and most of the contents oi

Insurance to the amount of $250C

A DISASTROUS FIRE
Two Barns Burn Tuesday Night-Drav
Team Belonging to Burke &
Son Cremated in Flames.

Fire destroyed two barns end Gre
mated fine team of horses on the
West side at eleven O'Clock Tuesday
night.
The barns were the property of
J. @. Burke and d. @. Mcintyre, and
| the team was the one used by Burke
& Son in the transfer Business. The
fire. which was of mysterious origin,
started in straw 10 the Burke stable
and when seen by Mrs. Burke, who
was awakened by the glare on the
window, had gained such headway
that the flames were rushing over the
roofs between the two barns which
were located close together.
Both horses were probably dead
when Mrs. Burke first saw the fire,
and by the time the alarm could bring
out the FIRE department, both buildings
were practically in ruins.
People on this side, aroused from
their slumbers by the fire alarm, at
first thought the big Touring mill was
on fire, so high did the flames and
sparks soar. and the location of the
burning buildings being IN the vicin'
ity of the mill and in line of observa-
tion, made it appear as though the
mill were burning.
Burke & Son sustained total loss,
having no insurance on barn or team.
The transfer wagon was badly dam
aged. though not beyond repair A.
B. McEwen circulated subscription
paper and III a short time had raised
fund of 1926 to be used in the pur-
chase of another team by Mr.. Burke.
Both hose teams responded to the
alarm and were on the ground in short
OF der, but so rapidly did the buildings
burn that all left for them to do was
to play water on the ruins and prevent
the fire from spreading to adjoining
property.
The morning following the fire
Mr.. Burke was at work on the streets
as usual. using N. A. Miller's team
and wagon. He is deeply grateful to
all persons who assisted him. inolud-
ing the mem bers of the Athena Fire
Department. all of whom accomplish
ed what they could to save property.

took up more room than the shade

cut down and removed. The small
house on the premises has teen re-

ESKIMO WIDOWERS.
Six Weeks Is the Limit They Will Wait
Before RemarrYina.

Six weeks Us tne Limit iney VIII wait
Before Remarrying.
In civilization 1t Is said that wife
does not always add to her husbands
ease or render his life more supporta-
bic, but up on the barren grounds the
worst Of wives would be better than
none.
There, among the heathen tribes, If
mans wife disappointed he Is not
q polygamist, in which case, says the
Wide World, there is less need for
hurry--he often marries again within
the week.
Even the Christian Eskimo widowers
are with difficulty persuaded by the
Moravian missionaries to allow six
weeks to elapse between the death and
remarriage On the very day after
the six weeks have lapsed the hunter
presents himself with new bride and
asks that the marriage service may be
speedily read
The reason Is not far to seek. 1t Is
said in civilization that "a woman's
work is never done," and far more is
that true of the helpmate of the saw
age and the semi-savage, the woman
of the barren grounds or of the ice
edge. She makes and breaks camp
cooks, cuts up and carries to camp her
husbands kill. She dresses the skins
of deer and seal.
She is responsible for the fashioning
of footgear and clothes. On a journey
she often paddles the canoe, and on
portage she carries heavy load. In
fact, it is easier to write down the du-
ties not expected Of a squaw than
those which by immemorial custom
