What are the factories in your town
going to do for skilled labor, as they
grow larger?
Ever think OF that?
You're trying to get new factories
all the time. But by-and-r% you'll find
your town sQuarely up against the
labor proposition.
It's all very well to say that factor
les bring more people to town, in
the workers they employ. That's true.
UP to certain limit. But there is q
limit to the amount OF skilled labor
available in America, and some day
not far off-it's going to be pretty
hard job to get a new industry for a
town that hasn't already got plenti-
full supply of skilled labor on hand,
and more coming along.
Which brings lis right up to another
question.
What are the boys and girls OF your
town going to do when they get
through school?
Idon't mean the comparatively few
children Of the well.to.do, whose pay
ents can afford to send them to college
or let them drift from one thing to
another, but I'm speaking OF the great
mass Of the schoolchldren in your
town who've got to quit school when
they're fourteen, or maybe year or
two,afterathat, and buckle right down
80 the human job Of earning a living

The Endless Chain

We note with considerable degree
OF joy that a gentleman who lives in
Hastings. has invented az automobile
carburetter that will burn kerosene
instead Of gasoline.
But. it matIers not to the Standard
Oil company what the Automobiles
use for motive power When every
body stops using gasoline and begins
using kerosene the price Of gasoline
will come down, but the price OF kero.
sene will go up. Then when they rush
back to gasoline the price of gasoline
will go up and the price OF kerosene
will go down.
The ultimate consumer may run
around in q circle all he likes. but he
will not be able to get more than
tether length away from the Standard
Oil company.
About the only way would be to in
vent an automobile that burns slabs.

Uncle Bushrod Peeler, aged So, is
over to our town from West Hickey

not in a very robust state of health
just at present, having been knocked
insenstble by a large log which he was
putting on top Of a pile the other day.
The old may is always glad to see
Bushrod, as the latter is bis faVorite
grandchild, although he often says he
don't know as he is bringm Bushrod
up right. Bushrod has got seventeen
grandchildren of his own. The old
man never found out that Bushrod
smoked until one day last SUMMER and
he was SO sore about it that he
knocked Bushrod down three times
with neck yoke. The old may said
kids like Bushrod are mighty oman
ageable these days, No member OF
the Peeler family has died natural
death in fifteen generations and the
old man is afraid Bushrod will learn
to smoke, cigarettes. It must be fierce
to have SO much longevity as the old
man has got whenStbe cost Of livin' is
so high. 81
Miss Lube BlbD!As made some pan
cakes by cooking school recipe the
other day and her old man has nsed
'em to nail over some rathoes down to
his feed mill.
People around these parts are carry
ing their butter and eggs down town
every night before the tank closes
and putting them in the safety deposit

Uncle Ezra Harllins says everything
is going to be a whole lot dearer than
It is, but Elmer Sphinx says Uncle Ezra

caIIant cIaude puvaI.

Claude DuvaI, the gallant robber of mems purses and ladies' hearts, was of French extraction. Duval became so rich with his i'll gotten gains that he was enabled to retire from the pro fession and return to France But a quiet life free from the excitement of his old career, did not agree with his adventurous spirit He returned again to England and resumed his avo- cation. At length he was captured at the Hole in the Wall, in Chandos street.
 While in prison awaiting his doom many ladies of position visited him and endeavOred to obtain his release, but justice was inexorable, and he was hanged at Tyburn in January, 1870. His epitaph~in St PauPs church, Covent Garden, speaks of him as ''Old Tyburn's glory, England's iIlustrious thief" and tells us:
 Here lies DuvaL Reader, if male thou
 art,
 Look to thy purse: if female. to thy

Well, he's my rich uncle, and all my life I've had to put up with his cussed cantankerousness.

The stone age, bronze age and iron age so overlap one another 1t is i'm possible to say just when one begins or ends Men began to use both bronze and iron long before stone had ceased to be used. In fact, America was in the stone age so late as its discovery by Columbus 400 years ago. It is safe to say that history proper" and the iron age were born together anywhere from 5000 to 10000 year ago. It is more than likely that men gained their first Information concerning the prop critics of iron through experiments with the pieces of it that had fallen from the sky in the shape of meteors.

InN.arted Trees.

A foreign railway company has solved the plan of getting good shade trees in a short time, though they may be small. The trees are so arranged that after two years time they will give as much shade as trees in the ordinary way of setting out would give that are fifteen or twenty years old. The company gets a small elm tree, preferably, digging this. roots and all, from the ground. The tree then is set, the top part being set into the ground, and the roots are left in the air. The tree then grows, forms roots on what originally was the top of a tree, and the original roots that now take the place of the branches begin to leaf out and form a complete foliage very quickly.

One is to sell the lunch for a nickel and give away the glass of beer-the law not prohibiting giving away a drink Another is to place a sign over the lunch, notifying customers of a charge of 1 cent for it and then not paying any attention to whether the man pays or not. A third is to sell a season ticket for a few cents, giving the holder the privilege of partaking of the lunch at any time. The saloon men propose to live up to the law, but believe that it could be evaded easily. The state association is expected to take the matter up soon and carry the case to the limit.
