FROZEN IN CAKE OF ICE.
Novel Exhibit at State Fair by South
Bend Watch 90.

An exhibit at the Kansas state Fair
which is attracting more attention
than probably any other IS that OF the
South Bend Watch company, in their
booth in the art building on tho tair
grounds.
Firmly embedded in cake Of ice a
product of the South Bend company in
the shape of a watch is the wonder OF
all boholders- The timep piece IS not
only frozen fast in the block OF ice, but
it is keeping perfect time. and OBJ
servers may set their own timepieces
by it with the assurance that they are
getting the right time.
The watch is a 19-jewel movement
with 25-year case and contains no
other mechanism except that found in
all South Bend watches. The clever
exhibit was devised In order to show
the public thar a South Bend watch
runs as well when subjected TO either
eXti eme heat or extreme cold.
Right along with the watch frozen
in ice are five watches that were sub
jected to the highest extreme heat.
having passed through the San Fran
cisco fire and earthquake and are
wonders to behold with their black
ened faces and running and keeping
time, showing to all those that are in
terested in watches how thoroughly all
watches made by the South Bend
Watch company are adjusted to heat
and cold.
Another feature of the exhibit is the
new railroad watch, known as THE
Studebaker," with the Montgomery
safety dial-a watch that sprang into
fame in a single day and has been
adopted by all the leading railroads in
this country. Railroad men are cor
daily invited to call and see ''The
Studebaker'
Although the exhibit is most exten-
sive, it is merely a campaign of edu-
cation, and no watches are sold at the
booth.
Another feature of the exhibit is a
roll of honor containing the names OF
hundreds of reputable jewellers of Kan
sas who sell the South Bend watches
all at popular prices. All watches
turned out by the company have move
ments of the very highest grade and
the quality is unquestioned.
This is the first time the South
Bend Watch company has ever had an
exhibit at the Kansas State fair. but
their exhibit has attracted such at
tention and has pleased so many that
a display OF their products will un-
doubtedly be a regular feature OF the
fair hereafter.
The South Bend Watch company
are firm believers in advertising. Here
is simply an illustration of their hon
orable methods to the retail teweIerp'
trade. They have received their money
for the watches sold to the hundreds
of jewelers. in Kansas. but as a fur
ther means to help educate the people
to buy and demand of them south

watches be bought, only through the

or catalogue houses can buy these
watches. Manufacturers OF this kind
and character deserve the success they
are receiving.

Retain Prohibition.

HEAVY VOTE POLLED.

Portland. Me, Sept. 11.-Maine's fame
as the pioneer prohibition state of the
Union is swaying in the balance today.
Daylight saw the first of the army of
voters who are to decide the question
of whether the prohlbitory amendment
sf all be retained in the constitution on
their way to the polls, and as the hours
passed the stream grew in size.
With ideal election day weather there
was every indication that the vote
would be unusually large. Simultdne-
ously with the opening of the polls this
morning prayer meetings which were to
continue without cessation throughout
the day opened in many of the city
churches.
If the license interests are successful
tC2ay there is said to be every possi-
bility that Governor Plaisted may have
t., call a special session Of the legis-
iature to take action on the repeal of
the statute law, which in effect is the
same as the constitutional amendment
and the enactment of another law for
the regulation of the liquor business.
A local option law such as prevails in
MaSsa chuSettS is what the license ad-
vocates seek. In the regular course of
events the matter would not come up
before the legislature until January,
1913, when the complexion of the state
government might be much different
from that of the present body
The morning vote in the cities was
even larger than was anticipated and
in many places fully one-third of the
entire vote was cast by noon In the
manufa curing centerS the heaviest
vote was deposited during the noon
hour. Both sides worked hard to get
out the early vote and automobiles
and carriages of every description were
pressed into service to carry invalidS
and Indifferent voters to the polls.

parts of the state

High Cost sf Living Problem
Serious in Other Places.
Starvation in China and Food
Riots in France.
NOT so BAD HERE
Many Things Are Cheaper Than
Year Ago.
Only Sugar, Coffee and Some
Vegetables Are Bearer.

New York, Sept. 11.-While thou
sands are starving in China and France
is being torn with riots in protest
against the high cost of living, there is
renewed attention in this country to
the fact that sugar has reached its
highest point in twelve years, that cof-
fee is soaring and potatoes are selling
as high as s1.1O a bushel in the field.
In view of this, houSeholderS are ask
ing themselves:
Twill this winter see a recurrence
of the conditions of 19O9-10, when the
cost of living reached it's apex and de-
clined slowly only after many so-called
boycotts against meat and other high
priced ommodities were declared
throughout the land %
To this question economic experts
seen here today answer no. Prices will
be higher, they say, in some instances
above those of last winter, but they
add that the man who sets his table
with plain everyday fare, avoiding
fancy brands and near-lU uries, may
await the approach of cold weather
without undue anxiety
It is pointed out that, generally
speaking, with the exception of coffee,
sugar, potatoes and a few canned
vegetables, the present month of Sep
tember was ushered in with conditions
more favorable to the consumer than
was the case a year ago. On Septem-
Der mess pork was quoted at $19 a

country, but in Great Britain and Ger

could buy good potatoes in the field
range from IS cents to more than a

that the man of slender means can

Sugar and coffee are both phenom-

1888 cents a pound wholesale in New
Y York Saturday as against 101A cents
a year ago and the standard grade of
granulated sugar was quoted wholesale
at $40 cents per pound, the highest
level since July, 1899. Failure of the
European sugar crop and poor pros
poets in Cuba are given as the cause
of the abrupt jump in the sugar mar
ket.
It is almost impossible to strike an
intelligent average of the price to the
consumer, so much depending on the
