A Carpet Sweeper
Pays Its Way

In the summer, matter how careful you are dust
will blow in and settle everywhere If you sweep with
an ordinary broom it will simply sweep up the dry,
powdery dust which will settle other pieces of fur
niturc.
But the carpet sweeper gathers up the dust in air
tight box and keeps it from blowing the room.
You will find it pays for itself in just the labor it
you in busting during the summer months. Yet this
carpet sweeper is guaranteed last and work effect
lively for years
We won't mention the price, for you know without
telling you that the price of the broom you have
used in year two will more than pay the BILL

BY several connOisseurs In art this
wooden figure is pronounced the most
perfect and human image of man
ever made. Masakichi has faithfully
reproduced every scar vein and wrin-

figure is composed of 5000 pieces OF

such wonderful skill, that no seams

About the tariff there are real
differences between the parties, in
spite of the effort of them all to claim
both reform and caution. President
Taft. in renewing his veto perform
ances, has driven in the effect he
made when he vetoed the wool bill
and the other tariff bills last year,
and his insistance on protection will
affect not only the republican but the
bull moose vote. The new party, like
the regular republicans, declares flat
lH for the protective principle, and in
spite of its admirably written tariff
plank, is not likely to have the con-
sumner so much at heart that it will
fight very energetically for serious
tariff reductions It's emphasis is
more on devices for taking care OF
people than on methods of letting
them take care of themselves"
The bull moose platform offers
nothing at all to the consumer who
is bent under the burden of the high
cost of living The platform does
attempt an appeal to the workingmen
in tariff protected industries, but it
holds out no hope to those who year
after year have been paying high pri-
ces on trust products because there
has been a tariff wall to keep out for
eign competition
On Wilson's conservative plan for
getting away from the protective sys-
tenn Golfers says:
Wilson recognizes that even those
industries which are built upon
principle which he distrusts must be
carefully treated after they have be-
come part of our life, but his desire
would be keen to remove artificial
help wherever the probability of in
Jury was not clear We imagine that
new industries which are being FOSTER
ed by the tariff-such as the Ameri-
can automobile trade, so rapidly TAX
ing our home market away from the
Europeans, or the beet-sugar busi-
ness. enabled by tariffs to compete
with the Sugar Trust-would have
his sympathy; but, on the other hand
IN dealing with such schedules as steel
or wool we presume he would be con-
siderably less alarmed about "cost OF
than either the old re-
publicans or the new offshoot. The
presidents determined protectionism
will strike many as likely to represent

"Second-feet per square mile" is
the average number of cubic feet of
water flowing per second from each
square mile of area drained, on the
assumption that the run-off is dis
tributed uniformly both as regards
time and area.
An "acre-foot' is equivalent to a.
$50 cubic feet and is the quantity re-
quired TO cover an acre to the depth
of one foot. The term is commonly
used in connection with storage for
irrigation work.
one second-foot flow equals 7.4S

Says Father.

n TEW YORK, July 16.-Terrifying
" details of the murder Of Julia
u Connors, the l2-year-old girl
found in the Bronx last week,
were told to the grand jury today.
Two relatives of Nathan Swartz, his
father and sister, Mrs. Frances Alex
ander, testified that he admitted to them
he murdered the child. At the conclu
sion Of the hearing an Indictment

Swartz has been missing since short
ly after the murder, The elder S'wartz
said that when he heard the story Of
the crime he advised his son TO COM
NIT suicide. "Aud / think he did, -
added the father.
One of the most revolving features
Of Mrs. Alexander s narrative was her
assertion that the child was jammed
in box after being stabbed more than
forty times by Swartz and that she re-
manned alive in the box throughout the
night.
Tells Story Of Crime.
Mrs Alexander repetition of the
story, she said her brother had told
her, was detailed and explicit in its
revelations Of horror. According to
Assistant District Attorney Mott, she
told the jury that her brother said he
had met Julia Connors on Saturday
night and asked her to take pair of
opera glasses to his home, which is just
across the hall from the vacant flat
where the murder was committed. The
young man said he followed the girl
and at the top Of the stairs pushed
her into the vacant flat and attempted
to assault her.
The child screamed, according to
tho story OF Mrs. Alexander, and Ma
than plunged his pocketknife into
her AS she continued to scream,
til she finally fell. Then he plunged
the knife into her breast near the
heart, and Julia remained still.
Places Body in Box.
Then Nathan went to his own home
and obtained the box in which the
body was found. He placed the still
living child In this box after cutting
off her hair put the box on the dumb
waiter and let it slide to the cellar
where he hid it. Early the next morn
ing, Sunday, he took the girl. still
alive, into the lot where she was found
later.
Mrs. Alexander said she threw the
youth ont Of her house when she
heard the tale. He then went to his
fathers place Of business, where he
told the same story, according to the
