Idea for Storing.

A clever idea for storing away hats,
furs, blouses. etc. was evolved by q
woman who lived in tiny apartment.
She had vide shelf erected across
one end OF Der bedroom. about a foot
and half below the ceiling. Then she
bought six OF seven hat boxes and
covered them with wall paper in q
rose design that harmonized with the
rose color of her room. These formed
a kind Of frieze across one wall, and
without detracting from the general
appearance made a little storeroom
easily accessible. On the outside Of
her cupboard door was kept a list
showing Just what was In box No. L.
box No. 2, etc.

WONDERS OF MODERN CLOCK
Inventive Minds Shown In Ingenious
Makeup OF Some Of Automatic
Tlmepleces Just Invented.

Grandfather's clock Is outdone. II
had a calendar hand which told the
day OF the month, also the day OF the
week. Sometimes a window was cut
in the upper part OF the dial through
which could be seen humanized
moon face slowly moving across tho
opening and giving the phases OF the
moon. In most cases n the calendar
mechanism was not out OF order the
moon mechanism certainly was. and
In the evening one could rarely tell
which date Il was because the hand
was about half way between.
The first OF the month the calendar
hand had to be set for the correct
number OF days-thirty or thirty one
or twenty-eight The modern calen-
dar clock takes care Of these matters
automatically. Every four years Il
automatically adds another day TO
February. II needs winding only once
n year.
Few persons consider the clock as
a piece OF machinery. especially when
gotten up In the cheap forms which
are uoN 80 universal nut Nht iAAh-

form standard time throughout the
country. n simultaneous actions In

will not amount to much, unless we
do something ourselves. What we
need are industries, Wholesale houses
or boarding schools that will bring
into the city outside money and then
we need to extend our trade area. AS
for more merchants or more doctors
or more lawyers or more real estate
men or more producing residents,
while they would be welcome, they
are not particularly needed right at
this time. Our own merchants are
doing a good business, getting along
fairly well and are better rated than
merchants in more progressive towns
but there is no need for many more
of them until more business is pro
duced.
So when the next opportunity comes
our way to make this a bigger and
better town let's grasp it and un-
til that time comes, let's all speak
well of our town, be on the watch
out for producing citizens and pa
tronize home industries.

tion can be obtained by applying to
the patrons of the power company.
Having shown that in two concrete
instances the officials in charge of
the power and water supply in the
city have been guilty of mismanage-
ment and bad Judgment, it stands to
reason that a great deal of the trou-
Bile has resulted from the same cause.
Now this matter is one that should
be given consideration by the city
council. If the trouble is with the
machinery and if the machinery is
worn out or out-of-date, let the citi-
zens and taxpayers know of it. If
those in charge Of the costly machin-
cry belonging to the citizens and tax
payers do not know how to get results
from it and if they are causing this
machinery to wear out faster than
1T should. then some proper relief
should be given.

TO THE LAURENs ADVERTISER.

The Tribune wants another bet, to
wit: font of 3-point Italic that
Theodore Roosevelt will get the Re
publican nomination; that Harmon or
Wilson will lead the Democrats; that
If Harmon leads, he will lose. and
that If it is Wilson against Teddy it
will be some scrap.-Fountain Inn
Tribune
Now, that's covering entirely too
much territory in one bet, especially
considering the fact that 3-point
ltalic is not made. We will take that
one, though, but will state our side
of the bet little more specifically, to
wit: AS Mr.. Dooly says "Willum
Hatch Taft" will be the nominee of
the Republican party; neither Har-
mon nor Wilson will lead the Demo
Gratis, but that Champ Clarke will get
more votes than either of them and
finally that if Wilson is nominated he
will be defeated.
