Guessing the Turkeys Weight.

During Thanksgiving week last year
large turkey was placed in one of the
show windows of a meat market in a
Michigan city and q plaeard nearby an
nounced that every customer visiting
te store that week would be allowed
che guess on the weight of the bird.
The person who guessed nearest the
correct weight would be awarded his
birdship as a Thanksgiving prize. In
spite of the fact that the city was n
small one, nearly 1000 guesses were
registered and when the time arrived
for the weighing of the bird the larg-
est crowd that ever packed into the
store was on hand The fact that this
week marked up the best single week s
sales record known 10 the establish
ment goes to show that big crowds and
| big sales are synonymous where attrac
tive displays are iudiciously used. The
guessing contest prize idea is by nj
means new one but in this case novel
ty was injected and interest increased
by making the prize something of pc
euliar seasonal interest.

A New Fast Mail Exchange System.

An automatic mail exchange system.
TO take the place of the old catcher
arm used on mail ears TO pick up mail
sacks while going through stations ut
high speed. has recently been invented
and tested in various parts of the
country. It not only picks up any
number Of the largest mail sacks with
out damaging their contents, but de-
posts other bags gently in a trough
beside the track The entire operation
is automatic and requires no attention
from the mail clerks in the car. With
this mail-eXchangc system n train
could run from New York TO San Fran
cisco without n stop except for coal
and water, and the postal cars could
| he loaded and unloaded ut every sta
| ton without the mail clerks going near
tine doors. The apparatus with which
| the mail ear is equipped consists OF
/ steel delivery basket and a steel re-
ceivina chute built into the door on
each side Of the car and geared to the
car axle On the station platform
there are from one to 20 two-arm de-
livery cranes for holding the outgoing
lpnaii bags. and a receiving trough l1o
feet long to catch bags dropped oil
the train. The apparatus on the car
is operated by an automatic mcchan-
ism oeared TO the axle and set in
motion by a trip placed beside the
track 800 feet from each station. As
1.-THE mail train approaches station
the trip starts the mechanism and the
car door is opened, the mail bags are
exchanged and the door closed, with

COTTONWOOD CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM

Friday afternoon the Cottonwood
River claimed ito third victim this
season in the person Of Joseph Riegar,
the II year old son of Mrs. Wenzel
Kraus. The accident happened at
4::D in the afternoon about 30 feet
below the Bentzin dam.
just how the boy came to his death
will never be known. He was in the
river bathing with about % other
bows and dived off q rock and never
came up again. When the boys
realized that he was not coming up
again, they evidently became
frightened and left for home rather
suddenly. Fred Brust and Herman
Schleuder who were fishing block
farther down stream thought it strange
to see sll of the youngsters disappear
at the same time but paid no further
attention to it until William Bentzin
who had oeen told OF the accident by
come OF the boys, motioned to them,
pointing to the river. Schleuder and
Brust went across the river and
ioined Mr.. Bentzin in the search for
the missing boy but they could find no
trace of him.
They had given up the search and
were recrossing the river when they
discovered the body in water where 1t
was about waist deep. When they
recovered the body it had been in the
water for fully an hour. Drs.
Strickler and Weiser appeared shortly
afterwards and tried to resuscitate
him but failed. Coroner Reineke
came shortly after the others had lett.
ae looked the body over carefully
and found no bruises or scratches OF
any kind. No inquest was held be-
cause it was apparent that death was
due to drowning. At the point where
the boy dived off, the current is very
swift and it is believed that he was
simply carried down stream and
couldn't come up. The funeral was
from the Catholic Church Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
