which made such splendid showing at
Minneapolis; two Sunbeams, one driven
by Harry Grant; two other MERGERS,
and two French Puegots. driven by Bob
Burman and Rickenbacker, the same
cars which were the sensations at the
last Indianapolis Speedway 500-mile
race.
Oldfield drove his Maxwell at top
speed from the start, not visiting the
pits nor making a stop for anything
during the entire race. This record is
marvellous. considering the fact that
Oldheld had had only two one-hour
practices with the Maxwell, his services
having been arranged for at the last
day.
The official time for the race now
stands: Pullen, in a Mercer, first, with a
time of hours, &c minutes and 80 sec
onds Oldfield, driving a Maxwell, 3
hours, 20 minutes and As seconds;
ODonnell, in a Dusenberg, hours, 81
minutes and 20 seconds; De Palma, in
the same Mercedes that created such a
sensation in the Grand PriX Race in
FRANCE this year hours, 81 minutes
and 81 seconds.
The largest crowd in the history of
racing witnessed the Corona Race,
which was in doubt until the last lap
when Pullen. Oldheld and O'Donnell,
finishing close upon one another. made
most exciting ending to the great
contest.

Orders Pouring in

Orders have been received by the
company from firms all over the
United States. Only last week J. G.
MacCollum. of Williamsport. closed a
contract with the Sigler people which
will mean big orders during the next
twelve months in that section of
Pennsylvania.
The firm has already shipped pianos
as far west as California, and the
trade in the South and Middle West
has been developing orders faster
than the present factory at Nos. 426-
42S Market street has been able to
handle them.
The new Sigler factory is rapidly
nearing completion and from present
indications the formal opening of the
building should be an event of early
January.

installed within the next three weeks.
The building itself is a handsome
orlck structure, with steel girders and
maple flooring. 1t has twelve-foot
basement, in which manufacturing
can be done. 1t extends well above
the ground level so as to furnish
plenty of light. Three stories rise
above the basement, and each is
equipped in an especial way for the
various phases of the work which will
be carried on therein. The elevator is
on the outside of the building, coming
in contact with a concrete platform

Reading Railway Co. Harrisburg be-
ing one of the most important dis
tributing centers in the East. it af-
fords ideal conditions. both for the
manufacturing and shipping of the

The factory has been so constructed
that hundred-foot wing can be
added at any time, and the walls are
heavy enough for the adding of an
other story if needed.
The Offices will be fitted beautifully

HARVEST TIME
WITH Us AGAIN

Another harvest has rolled around
and the hum Of the binder can be
heard in many quarters. Many fields
Of barley are already in the shock
and it will not be manydays before
wheat will begin to fall at the hands
Of the reaper. Early barley promises
to be a good crop as will most early
wheat. Oats also promises a fairly
good yield, and just what fax will be
remains to- be seen, as this is a later
crop and it will be some time before
it natures. All in all we look to see
a very satisfactory crop in the vici-
nifty of Devils Lake but in some parts
of the county the lack of early rains
kept the wheat from s%tooling and TO
that reason it will be a light crop
at the best.

MISS Williams
NOT INJURED

The report circulated recently that
Miss Kathlyn Williams, the popular
motion picture actress who plays the
leading role in the "Adventures OF
Kathlyn,'' had been badly injured by
a leopard while acting in a wild an
imal picture for the Selig company,
is erroneous, being without founda-
ton Whatsoever.
Miss Williams has risked her life
many times while acting with animals
before the motion picture camera, but
fortune has always favored her, and
she has never suffered any great in
jury to speak 'of. The animals used
by the selig company are well train
ed, but as they grow older they nat
urally get ugly and more difficult to
handle. Some of these have caused
Miss Williams much worry, but her
expert knowledge in handling them,
has made it possible for her to appear
in pictures with animals that to the
ordinary onlooker appear real vicious.
The next number of the "Adven-
lures of Kathlyn" which picture has
made Miss Williams famous, will be
shown at the Charles theatre on next
Monday and Tuesday.

WHY DIDN'T NOAH SWAT?

Had Father Noah been quite wise
he would, have killed the pair OF
flies that roasted in the ark; he let
that pregnant duty slide while Ham
and shem and Japhet tried to navi-
gate their ark. Two flies were all
there were, all told! And Noah might
have knocked them cold with one
great husky swat, he had the chance
and he let it slip, while he was moon
ing round the ship-the knowledge
makes me hot! And eve since the
sons of man have toiled and wrought
and toiled again, to kill the measly
flies, the more we kill the more we
find, the more we knock the blamed
thingsJ blind the more their legions
rise. We're all like Noah, more or
less responsible for the distress that
makes all hope seem vague; we see
some ugly thing alive, and let them
live, and grow and thrive until they
are a plaugue.. We calmly view the
noxious weeds, and habits and evil
deeds, which. breed so beastly fast.
We let them grow and multiply as
Father Noah did the fly, and kick
ourselves at last. GA stitch in time''

WHAT IS TRUE LovE1

What true love is, no one can
tell. Go ask fair Ruth, the Moa-
bite, Heloise, Abelard or Bebekah
at the we'll. What would these
immortal lovers say? Ask Rebek-
ah. She would say that true
love is the love that makes a
woman get up and leave father
and mother, and kindred and
home, and follow a man to the
end of the earth; that makes his
country henceforth her country /;
his people her people, and his
gods her gods. Such love is a
miracle, past all explaining, and
its wonder is that it is repeated,
over and over again, down to
this very day, and before our very
eyes. When you meet little
Mrs. Smith in New York at tea
party and she tells you that she
is a San Francisco girl and came
East to live when she married,
lower your eyes and tread softly,
for the ground whereon she
stands is holy ground, sanctifed
by great love. She loves as did
Rebekah, and has sacrificed as
much, and as freely and as glad
ly. For the sake of man she
has journeyed into far country.
She has left her father who cher
ished her, the mother who bore
her on her breast, the sisters and
brothers who were a part of her
very existence. She has given
up home and friends and all the
dear familiar associations of
lifetime, just because hand
some stranger has come whistl-
ing across her pathway and has
whistled the heart out of her
bosom. 1t is love that makes the
world go round, and it is love of
the truest kind that makes
woman forsake all that she has
known and loved before, and,
without backward regret, fol-
low a man wherever his fortunes

A NEW KIND OF PRISON

The State of Ohio is preparing
for a radical reversal of its prfs-
on system. Arrangements are
being made for placing the con-
victs on a 1000 acre farm which
will be modelled after the muni-
cipal farm used by the city of
Cleveland in lieu of a workhouse,
The idea was suggested by the
Rev. Harris R. Cooley, for some
years director of charities in
Cleveland, and it has been adopt
ed enthusiastically by Gov. Cox.
Most criminals, the Governor be-
lieves, are persons whose mental
powers are weak, and can be
helped into the right course.
Whether he is over-sanguine re-
mains to be seen, but there is no
doubt that he is right when he
says: eff there is anything that
