Construction

Not only are the best skilled me-
chanics employed but in every possible
way old-time methods Of manufacture
have been eliminated and the most i'm
proved labor-saving machines are used
to perform the operations that were for
merly done by hand. This insures the
uniformity and accuracy that in former
days was impossible, besides it has
reduced the cost of manufacture to
minimum.
Balm Wheels
The wheel is the most vital part of your
wagon. The dodge method of construction has
been adopted in the setting of the spokes into
the hubs. giving wider base of resistance and
enabling the wagon to carry a heavier load than
is possible under the old and prevailing style.
Balm wheels are immersed in boiling lnsecd oil.
The oil works its way into every pore and grain
Of the wood and forms preservative against all
future changes in climatic conditions.
Balm AxIes
Balm axles are made of the best selected air
dried hickory, constructed and braced SO the
the greatest strain.
Balm Skeins
Balm skeins are made from special patterns,
designed to admit as large an amount Of the axle
as possible into them. The steel skein is pro-
vided with long sleeve that reaches under and
fits closely to the axle, while the cast sken is re-
irforced by truss rod.
THE Balm Wagon is not the lowest
1 priced wagon but it is an acknowl-
edged fact that it is the best and is the
standard by which all other wagons are
compared and for service and utility
will, in the end, prove your best wagon
buy.

A LESSON FOR BOYS.

The following from the Spartan
burg Journal is copied with the hope
that it may be Of some benefit to
our boys who are just home from
college:
Several days ago The Journal had
a suggestion to boys and their par
ents as to work during the long va
cation. Dawdling around slot ma
chimes and tobacco stands for three
months will offset all the good les
sons they learned at school. Doing
nothing is only little above a Vi
cious life. 1t is not the money boys
make, but the habit Of work which
is valuable. Of course boys whose
fathers have means can get places.
Their fathers can find or make them.
But it is the poorer boys who need
the work and the work helps them.
Give them a lift if you can. They
have the making Of men in them.
For twelve years Wendell Sooy, a
neWsboy, stood at the entrance to
Paramount Park in Philadelphia,
Through all sorts of weather he was
there for business. He saved all the
coins he could spare from his scantv
requirements for food and clothing
Selling papers day after day was only
incidental to his higher aim. He
wanted to go to college and never
for moment did he lose sight of
that purpose. He expects to begin
his college education at the fall term
of the. University of Pennsylvania.
In the twelve years he has accumu-
lated $4,000, which he thinks will be
enough to give him a four years
course. Such boy as that will be
worth much more to the country
than classmate who has money to
spend for the qualification of all his
wants. Look out for those poor
boys who work with a high aim
Give them a chance. They will make
men worth something"

Death OF Lille Mafg Lewis Christian

Caledonia Farm, June 25.-The
friends of Captain and Mrs. c. N.
Christian will regret to learn Of
the death of their infant daughter,
Mary Lewis, which occurred at their
home, on Caledonia Farm, Saturday
morning, June p, at 1890 O'Clock.
Born May Is. 1912.
DR.. F. N. Register, the family
physician, with all his medical skill,
failed to stem the tide Of the disease,
and the little one passed into the
great beyond at the time mentioned.
Throughout her short little life
she was guarded with a mother
and fathers tender care, but her
feeble little forr. was unable to bat
tie with the ravages.of disease.
The remains were taken to Mocks-
vile Saturday, accompanied by Cap
tain Christian and son, Cephas, where
they were inferred in the beautiful
Rose Cemetery, where they sleep
beside the tomb Of her sainted
grandmother.
Death with his sickle keen, reaped
this flower. transplanting it in the
Garden OF Paradice, sheltered and
guared with His care. The gentle
and pure soul of this child Of the
Covenant, went forth as peacefully
into the great beyond, as il she had
but fallen asleep upon the bosom of
her loving Jesus. Her parents are
left with sore hearts, and their eyes
are bathed in tears.
Your eyes are din1med with weeping
For your darling who is gone,
But she'll greet you in youthful
beauty
When few short years have flown.
