ABOUT THOSE GUARANTEED

It's something unusual to guarantee
an ad. isn't it?
That's what The Daily Record is Of
fering to do with its For Rent Ads.
You have a house furnished. or un-
furnished that you want to rent You
have been afraid to advertise it for
fear it would cost too much.
Under this little plan we are trying
out you can put in an ad. large
enough to fully tell about the place,
pay one dollar and we will run the ad
until the house is -ented.
Suppose the house rents for SIS a
moath-that is so cents day. II the

rent that will pay for the ad-
II the first days ad rented the house
you should be mighty happy and
surely would feel that you got your
dollar back mighty quick
IL the house isn't so awfully desir
able and the ad runs on a few week:
or a few months-that's our loss YoJ
pay no more. The dollar pays for th'
ad until the house is rented.

CONSTRUCTION OF WEIRS
For MEASURING WATER

1t seems almost impossible for a
farmer to properly construct a meas
uring weir and install the same in
his lateral, and perhaps a few words
OF explanation will not be amiss at
this time. Water must come to the
weir with practically no velocity of
approach" and this is accomplished
by making the cross section OF an
ordinary weir box large in compari-
son to the cross section OF the fall
ing water over the check. Weirs
as ordinarily constructed do not have
large enough checks and the cross
section OF the box above the check,
is practically the same size as the
ditch. this construction is wrong and
weirs so made will not give accu-
rate results.
The following rule for construction
may help those who are contemplat-
ing the installation OF an ordinary
measuring weir The distance from
the bottom OF the flume to the crest
of the weir must be at least twice
the depth of the water flowing over
the weir when a full head OF water
L.. a.t.. ..-~a Tbo Sf,.a-on fro.,, che
side of the flume to the edge of the
weir notch should be at least twice
the depth OF the water flowing over
the weir. This will make the cross
section Of the flume above the check
amply large and the water will pool"
before falling over the weir.
Sediment must not be allowed TO
deposit in front OF the check, and to
prevent this. IL is necessary to have
the check removable so that it Is
only dropped into position when
measurements are being made AS
soon as they are completed, II should
be withdrawn and the water allowed
to run through the flume without be-
ing checked up. This VIII ordinarily
keep the fiume clean and when the
next measurement is desired. the
check may be dropped into position.
weirs constructed in this way will
give accurate results but when con-
structed in the ordinary way the re-
suits are far from accurate and arc
not at all uniform.

SEES DEMOCRATIC
COUNCIL RETURNED
Nine of Sixteen Outgoing Men,
bers Democrats-Must Elect
Five to Retain Control.

Following the results of the prima-
ries, speculation is naturally rife as
to the probable complexion of the
next Common Council. That the
Democratic party will be able to main
tain its majority is a foregone con-
clusion.
OF the sixteen outgoing members
nine are Democrats, which will still
leave twelve Democrats in the Coun-
Gil. 1t is necessary for the Democrats
to elect five. new men to retain their
hold and there doesn't seem to be the
slightest doubt about this.
Wards that are regarded as almost
certain to return Democratic mem
bers are the Fifth ward, where Joseph
Schmelz is the candidate to succeed
Alderman John H. Donnelly, the pres

and Seventh, where Aldermen Thomas

ing herself in the cellar of her home.

herself.
Martin Rom, the husband of the
dead woman, when interviewed by the

his wife at noontime and when he re-
turned home at O'Clock she was not
