Man Power and Coal Power.

Man Power and Coal Power.
Does any one realize the power Of
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day, and at the end Of ten hours 1t was
found that he had done just as much
work as a little less than two ounces
Of coal could do, says Answers.
Taking all the energy put forth by a
Woodworking man during one whole
year, the same amount Of force would
be furnished by thirty-six pounds Of
good coal, or say forty pounds Of aver
age coal.
We produce six tons a head of popu-
lation, and this contains the energy Of
1886 men working for whole year.
OF course even In our best engines
the greater part of the working en-
ergy of coal is wasted But even II
only one-tenth is turned to account,
one and half hundrewweight Of coal
is equal to man working for 300 days
of the year.
A horse can do as much work as ten
men, but one and a quarter pounds
of coal has as much working force as
a horse expends in one day. So that
ton Of coal, II we could use all its
force, would do as much work as siz
horses working for whole year.

Tn. Hawilno Cattle.

The grower of beef cattle is sure to
weed out the one that is continually
bawling, when 1t should be grazing
for the simple reason that there Is
more waste than gain of adipose It's
sue at such time. The stock con-
tent TO feed upon the good pasture at
hand rather than busy themselves
trying to break into forbidden fields,
possibly not nearly as good, are the
ones that make the most gain In

Mike Serenaded.

The boys who serenaded Mr.. and
Mrs. Charley Weeks last week also
took occasion to charivari the Hon.
Michael Hicks-Beach Mahoney, who
is neighbor Of Mr.. Weeks. Mike
was equal to the surprise, however,
and he and his son, Will, invited
the serenaders into the house and set
before them the best of everything in
the line of edibles and thirst quench-
ers. Mike made neat little speech
in advocacy of home rule for Ireland
and recited dozen or more selec-
tions from the works of his favorite
poet, Bobby Burns. At a. m.
"Auld Lang Syne," sung in chorus
and in and out of tune, finished the
festivities. A rendition of 'sThe
Watch on the Rhine" was suggested,
but Mike ruled it out of order.

Rip, Snort, Bif, Bang!


Get out the big posters! Have the
streets cleared for the parade! Wave
the flags and ring the bells! How
about the dynamite? See that it is

Where are the Alternately kids? Is
the aeroplane ready, and how about
the hydroplane, to say nothing of the
submarine?

and have a score to settle with Taft,

So, "let her rip" as they say when
they shoot off skyrocket. True, q
solemn promise was made in 1904 that
under no circumstances would an
other nomination be accepted, but at
that time nobody was angry with
Taft. True, another solemn promise
adhering to the first was made in 1907,
but what of that? The Tennis cabinet
were not out of jobs. Surely little
things like that should not stand in
the way.-New York Herald.

bate OF $40 was given in January,
1912, on account of said switch, they
were not in favor of another rebate at
this time. and advised, Mr. r.o.th..
to obtain a switch and install the

BONA FIDE REDUCTION SALE.
Bic reduction Sale, the Most Importan,
Event Of the Year.

~ 5 -
Big Red uction Sale. the Most Important
Event Of the Year.
The people of Princeton and sur
rounding country are certainly going
to be benefited by the bona fde reduc-
ing sale, which will begin on April 10,
I'LL, under the management of the T.
<. Kelly Sales System of New York,
Chicago, Minneapolis, high-class
merchandise brokers, known to be the
greatest bargain givers in the north
west.
Mr.; Avery informs US that the
prices quoted on his stock are in a
great many instances less than he
could purchase the same at the factory
IL case lots, His reason for making
this great sacrifice sale is that he is
heavily overstocked, and to consider
it good business judgment to cut loose
and unload the entire stock right now
for whatever it will bring, when the
people are in need of the goods, and
ne has therefore inaugurated this
mighty closing out sale of his spring
and summer stock in order to convert
every dollars worth of goods into
cash, no matter how great the loss
might be. 49,
The Kelly Sales System is now in
charge of the entire store, rearrang-
ing and marking down at it's own
prices, and the instructions were to
close out these lines, even to the bare
walls, regardless of loss.
This will give the people of Prince
ton and surrounding country the
greatest bargains ever placed before
the public in the history of retail
merchandising. This sale will surely
prove to be great boon to the
people, who are never slow in taking
advantage of an opportunity such as
this mighty stock reduction sale will
afford, and from the large number of
people inquiring about the sale, and
waiting for the opening day, it be-
speaks a record-breaking business
for the Avery Clothing House.
The Avery Clothing House has never
carried anything but the most re-
liable, dependable merchandise, and
we expect to see hundreds of people in
attendance daily during this great
sale, as the people realize, when they
can purchase high-grade merchandise
at less than manufacturers cost, it is
high time they grasped the chance.
It. is safe to say q sale such as this
comes but once in a lifetime, and the
public will no doubt buy out the
whole stock quickly.
:. A large force of extra salespeople
are in attendance, to be able to serve
all.quickly, and, as it is evident that
there will be rare bargains offered We
expect to see the store a mecca for
hundreds of bargain seekers during
the next ten days. Mr.. Avery tells US
the sale will positively close on
April 20.

The smith Menace.

Fellow citizens-do not say country
men! Have you noted that the new
senator from Arizona is named
Smith? Have you realized, patriots,
that now the number of Smiths in the
senate is five? Five Smiths, gentle
men of this republic! Do you know
what that means? One senator in
every nineteen is a Smith! While you
are busying yourselves over Taft or
Roosevelt or La Follette-names
unique-without clan to follow them,
the Smiths have been slowly forming,
coalescing, combining, accommodating,
until we are on the verge of having a
Smith machine thrust upon US!
Beware of the Smith trust! Repre-
sentatives, governors silent and
strong-they are holding their own
and getting everybody's!
Stop-Look-Listen! A new state
is formed! Who seizes upon it? A
Smith! When the eyes of all are
turned otherwise, this Smith is swiftly
put into the senate!
Men, if there be manhood left in the
Jones or the Johnsons, or any of the
Jays or others arouse yourselves to
sense of this impending calamity!
Throttle this growing tide of Smiths
in the bud Keep Ed. away from 'em!
