HOT AIR DEVICE

Working on the we'll known fact
that the heat from a cows body is
en0aFh to warm a large area,
John N. Ventor of Jayport, VT,
ha evolved a scheme which has
saved him a winters coal and
which robs the threatened fuel
famine of all its terrors for him.
Mr.. Ventor found that the hea,
of his herd of cows was enough to
keep his stable at a comfortable
temperature during the coIdes,
weather and decided that he
needed heat in his house more than
in the barn. He rugged a sheet
iron room for each COW. the only
opening to which were those for
ventilation and through a pipe
when led t. his house. These
pipes were attached to his furnace
connections and the heat thus
generated was enough to warm his
rooms thoroughly.
The only drawback to the scheme
is the odor that comes through the
pipes frsm the stable. Mr.. Ventor
will obviate this by feeding his
cows breath perfume mixed with
their feod.-Rochester Times.

AGE IN COTTON FACTORIES
Death Of Oldest Weaver In lowell Re
Veals Bright Side Of Operatives

A news dispatch tells OF the death
In Lowell Of the oldest weaver In that
city, a woman who was sew enty one
years of age and was in comfortable
circumstances, but who still preferred
to work. in spite of her age We call
this to the attention of the friends
Of the. poor mill girl In spite OF
what they tell about employment In a
cotton factory, 1t seems that 1t is quite
possible for a woman to follow the
trade Of a weaver until she has passed
three score years and ten; It is posi-
Bile for her to lay by money enough
to place her in comfortable circum.
stances, and 1t is possible that the
associations In busy. bustling weave
shops, with their noise and lint and
all the other unpleasant features, may
be more endurable to a woman who
has cultivated the habit Of industry
over a long period or years than the
loneliness she would feel in q comfor-
table home with only such tasks to
take up her time and her attention as
those necessary to light housekeeping
The picture Of industry, thrift and un-
doubted faithfulness that is shown in
this brief news item from Lowell can
be duplicated in nearly every one OF
the textile centers Of New England,
but it is the picture that is not 80 fire.

DON'T WORRY

There is considerable talk
around town about the Southern
Pacific stalking out its right Of
way. In Carlin, they have set
stakes marking the limit of rail-
road property, which is 200 feet
on each side of the center of the
track. Some of the Carlinites
pulled up the stakes. The for ce is
working this way and Elko will be
staked off 1t is generally be-
lieved that this is preparatory to
the company making demand for
the removal of buildings on the
right of way. Should this demand
be made, no attention should be
paid to it. Every owner Of real
estate on the two main streets
would suffer if such. a demand
were made and enforced by the
courts. If the test comes the
property owners interested should
stand together and fight for thier
rights to the last ditch In the
meantime. there is no necessity of
anyone going into Mysteries ard
,orrying about troubles that may
ever come.

nsed not think that they can longer
do this kind Of election fraud with
out being punished by the people

Have to Go From Home.


The graft politicians and ballot
box suffers Of Mingo have to 60
from home to get people to lie about
their voting, illegal negroes in this
county. Why, even the best colored
people here are revolving at tn out
rageous practice They have resort
ed to the Huntington Herald-Dis-
patch with blaring headlines Of false,
hood, disappearing their methods
of illegal voting and debauching the
ballot Even that newspaper put
the lying words under the date line
sof a Williamson telegram. Even that
sheet was ashamed to father the pre-
tense of vindication of the Illegal
methods of the gang Of political
crooks in Mingo county The frauds
here are too open to admit Of any
vindication from any source save
from the gang of debauchers who
are committing them and they have
to impose upon those who do not
know the real conditions and, the
stupendous outrages imposed upon
an honest and honorable people at
the ballot box The Herald-Dis-
patch knew it was taking up a das-
tardly cause and therefore placed
the denial under suIbterfuge Of
coming from another source. 1t is
sham upon our utilization and a
reproach upon the State of West
Virginia that these frauds are lon
ger to be allowed committed with
in our borders. Carry the message
all over our State that the political
methods of the machine Republicans
here are so damnable and outrageous
that no white man who cares for the
future of his State should vote for
a party that stoops to such methods
of illegal voting and disregard of the
franchise The Herald-Dispatch
beads its article bleeding Mingo 7
and it is true Mingo is bleeding
and her people are being disfran-
chised by the unlawful methods of
Illegal voting and stuffing Of the
ballot box with an open brazenness
that ought to be stopped if we care
anything for our Republican form
Of government, and it must stop, or
il will be Bleeding West Virgin
ia instead OF Bleeding Mingo.'
The time is here, good people, to
rise in your might and smite this
gang who would steal your liberties
from you Fight this fraud upon
the ballot to the last ditch. Fight 1t
in earnest for the liberties of our
people depend upon your action.
Down with their thugs and bench
men, disregard their bluff and
threats and vote against such de-
bauchery and crime. Now is the
time to do your duty, people OF
West virginia and redeem your
State from such a debasing shame
as is committed in the county of
Mingo. Everybody knows it Is true
and the pitiable atakmpt to deny il
shows the craven individual who
strives to uphold it, is equally guilty
with those who unblushingly perpe-
trate these frauds upon people
who have been entrusted with the
right to control their own affairs
Shame on West Virginia, shame on
Mingo county that we have not the
moral courage to rid ourselves OF
this debaucning gang OF political
pirates.
