OH THAT TELEPHONE!
But it Won't Freeze-Oh No!

Everything is frozen up in town ex-
cept the telephone. and you can't
make that freeze. Some people wish
that it would for day or two-some
business people.
But that ringer is on the job from
morning till night, and even after one
has turned in. The telephone is the
only institution like the ubiquitous
reporter" and is ceaseless and untir-
ing.
Whoever ard of a telephone freez-
ing! You may not have any water to
brush your teeth or wash your face
in the morning, with all the spigots
frozen, and may have to use peroxide
for the former and cold cream for the
latter, but the telephone is like Tenny-
SON S brook-it runs on forever, and a
cold wave doesn't fease it. Oh, no.
The telephone never freezes.

CARE FOR ANIMALS.
Cold Weather Demands Humane Pro-
lection For Those Who Cannot
Speak For Themselves.

Blanket your horses, feed the birds,
take care Of the dog and cat. Help
those poor dumb creatures who cannot
speak for themselves.
It is an easy matter to throw a
few crumbs out Of doors to the poor
little birds that can get nothing to
eat while snow and ice cover the
ground as they have done for a fort
night. Throw bread crumbs out after
breakfast, after luncheon. after din
or or during the day. Be humane; be
merciful.
a1Don't allow the horses to stand for
a moment unblanketed. To be sure
they have heavy covering provided
by nature to keep them warm, but
they feel this bitter cold weather the
same as you do. Blanket the horses.
Care for all animals who cannot speak
for themselves.

MONSTER VALVES MADE HERE BREAK ALL WORLD RECORDS Fame of Bridgeport as Manu- featuring Center Spread in
 Unique Shipment Crane Valve Co.'s Titanic De- vices Call For Flat Car
 Space

All previous records for big valves were beaten today by the Crane Valve Company when the West End plant shipped two 72 inch gate valves. one of them weighing 25 tons and the oth- CT g. to British Columbia. In the same consignment, two 50 inch valves were included, weighing Ii tons each. immense valves having the same six foot openings. they were for use un- der a low or moderate strain, but the latest giants will have to stand hy- draul1c pressure varying from 125 to 175 pounds per square inch, which is pretty severe when their exceptionally large openings. are considered. They were accordingly constructed much more strongly and are two of the most powerful valves in the world. The heavier one was subjected to a 240 pound test and the other to 200 pound test before being accepted by the customers inspector.
 The valves are going to the hydro electric plant of the Canadian Col two 72 inch occupy a aat car each and the two 50 inch valves are on an other ear. Descriptive banners are | strung along the cars, showing where the valves were made and where they are to be used. Crane Co.,, Vancou- yer, B. C.. captured this important order for the local concern.
 The 72 inch valves are Of a new type, having double spindles which raise and lower the gates, hand
 wheel being operated in conjunction with spur gears All four valves are of iron with brass bearings, spindles. etc. They are each equipped with smaller valves attached to their sides. known as by-passes.
 Tn larger valves stand IT feet high
 The 50 inch are A feet high and were
 tested to 240 pounds pressure.
 The officials of the company are greatly elated over the ease. and pronptness which this difficult order was executed and with the excellent
 showing of the big valves under test

 k Small lock boxes from l to S15o; large lock boxes from $1 50 to g; small drawers from g to 8; large drawers one quarter of the year
