Hydraulic Power-If the territory
Of the hydraulic engineers has been
invaded in some directions, it has been
extended and widened in others. New
industries arise, new fields undreamed
of open out, as happened when steel
superseded iron, and when the prac-
tice of COMPRISING goods for ex-
portation and storage developed from
the old screw driven presses. Eec-
tricity both takes away and gives. 1t
demands lead-coated electric cables,
and the hydraulic press Is required
for this work. Rubber for electrical
purposes and motor vehicles Is BOOM
ed, and the presses are wanted here
also.
So much work Is now done in COM
pressing and baling goods for export
trade that the hydraulic presses here
have q large exclusive and ever-ex-
tending field. Almost every machine Is
modified in its details to suit the par
ticular kind of stuff pressed. But they
are nearly all simple ram machines,
actuated directly with pressure pumps
without accumulators. These presses
alone would afford an interesting study
in adaptability and specialization.
They are used for cotton. wool hay
hops, esparto bark. hides. dry fodder.
scrap iron for the baling furnace, etc.
The whole of this work is appropriated
by hydraulic engineers. 1t Is one Of
those spheres in which pressure water
is an ideal agent.-Cassier's Magazine.

M. B. AGENTS

I made my first contract as agent
for the MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE m
SURANCE COMPANY more than
thirteen years ago, and during my
connection with the Company have
had the pleasure of writing the appli-
cations Of scores Of the best citizens
in this section Of the state for insur-
ance-some having applied for and
obtained as many as four or five poll
cies on different dates-and II Is graf
flying to me to be able to state that
during my entire connection with the
company I have not had single poll
Icy holder who has SO much as inti-
mated that he was not entirely salts
fed. It is fact that many Of them are
Mutual Benefit Agent today. They
do not carry a rate book, but they
never fail, when they find a friend or
acquaintance who is considering life
insurance, to advise them outright to
take It in the Mutual Benefit, or before
signing an application to see SAM
GRIST. There Is a reason, and II Is
that they know, by experience. that
there Is none better and they do not
want their friends to make the mis-
take Of not getting the BEST, espe-
cially when 1t does not cost any more,
IL as much, as the other kind. II no
friend has advised you to investigate
the MUTUAL BENEFIT, you will act
wisely II you do so anyway.

That Is why we have in the past
and do today and shall in the future
try to impress on our readers and on
big advertisers the fact that they
should do their share toward support
ing the local press Of this country.
There would be and could be no phil
anthrophy about it, simply wise self
interest should make every citizen
buy his local paper and make every
advertiser contribute according to his
means to the support Of the local
press.
The citizen that buys his local pa
per gets his money back many times
over in protection Of his interests.
And the man who advertises widely
and wisely in the local press gets his
money back many times over in cash
returns.
The people should not be niggardly
in support Of those that do good work.
Business men and the public generally
should be especially broad minded
and liberal in their support Of the To-
cal newspapers that represent and in
tensify public opinion throughout the
country.-New York American.
