Tennessee River Made Navl-
 gable the Year Round.

Chattanooga.-Completion of the lock and dam at Hale's bar, near this city, marks one important step by the government in its plan of making the Tennessee river navigable all the year. It presages the time when there will be an uninterrupted navigation be- tween all points on the Tennessee, Mis- sissippi and Ohio rivers. and also be- tween this section and the orient via the Panama canal.
 The great project at Hale's bar, thirty miles below Chattanooga, in- cludes lock built by the government and a dam and powerhouse erected by the Chattanooga and Tennessee River Power company Many serious ob- stacles to navigation have been for ever obliterated by increase in depth of water for many miles above the dam. ......- 1. s,.-. 2.
 The project is peculiar in that it is the first instance where a private com- pany was permitted to construct a dam across a navigable river, where river improvement and power develop ,nent have been combined. The work has been done under supervision of the setretary of war.
 The lock at the opposite end of the dam from the powerhouse< is built against rock bluff and has clear width of sixty feet. It Is about 300 feet long inside the gates. The lower gates are fifty-nine feet high. Each gate weighs 120 tons.

LEE MAKES INVENTION
Long Prairie Man Designs Stabilizer
for Aeroplanes

While on one of his flying trips
over Minnesota as a candidate for
governor last fall. William E. Lee of
Long Prairie invented an attach
ment for aeroplanes to make flying
safer, and today patent was issued
at Washington on Mr.. Lees idea,
says The Minneapolis Journal. AT
Long Prairie today Mr.. Lee said his
invention might come handy in an
other campaign. Since election, he
said, he has been figuring on a para
chute to make landing safer if the
machine collapses.
my idea is a stabilizer," said Mr.
Lee, "a wing that can be thrown into
position by the aviator to steady the
machine. 1t is a theoretical PROPOSE
ton and has not been tried out, but
| shall take it up with some manu-
facturer soon and if they find there
is anything in it, shall probably sell
the patent, as our factory here is not
equipped for that sort of thing Mr.
Lee has a record as an inventor. He
is interested in a factory at Long
Prairie and has patented four other
ideas in machinery.

PUBLIC LIBRARY

Beginning with October we have
added to our list of periodicals "Coun-
try Life in America" Each number
is a beauty! Come in and get ac-
quainted with it. The December copy
has an article on birds in winter and
tells us to:
Watch for nuthatches; for the fine
shades of brown in the scrub oak
leaves; for the fiocks of juncos; the
cedar wax-wing seeking shelter in
the evergreens; for chickadees; for
the deadly work of the butcher bird;
for hawk and owl; for holes of deer
mouse by the oak trees.
A sign which nature sets bids us to:
Scatter crumbs about the door; to
tempt gold fnches with sunfower
seed; to gather the hepatica and force
for budding; to take a trip to the
woods and study animal tracks; to
note the size CT the popular tree
buds, and to find the fresh moss be-
meath the leaves.
Have you noticed that the jays
shrek, and do not sing, as cold wealth
er advances; that crows seek shelter
near habitations; and that you can
have number of birds on your list
of winter residents if you keep your
eyes as sharp as theirs.

Wise Housewife Shops Through Ad-
vertising Pages Before Going
to Shops

The old-fashioned woman did her
own shopping.
1t was very inconvenient shopping,
walking on foot with a basket on her
arm, searching from store to store
for bargains, not knowing what she
would find or where she would find it.
But it was worth while. For the
old-fashioned women managed to
keep down the price of living by pay
ing attention to bargains, and thus
encouraging the competent merchants
able to produce bargains and distance
their competitors.
Not for the merchants sake, but
for your sake, we urge you to do care
full shopping in the advertising col
umns.
You need no longer walk from shop
to shop, and from counter to counter,
looking for what you want and inves-
| tigating prices.
The merchants in their advertise
ments put the prices and the oppor-
tunities before you every day.
You can sit at home in the even
ing, read through the advertising col
umns for what you want, read careful
| " the different offerings that appeal
to you. make memoranda and next
day go straight to the spot and find
what you want.
| At all times the reading of adver-
tisements is an important work for
the woman who strives to aid her
husband through economy.
Merchants are making efforts such
as they never made before in the
search for bargains.
A few women realize what great
organizations are maintained by the
big merchants to do the public shop
ping.
A big store thinks nothing of pay
ing an unusually intelligent man or
woman $4,000 or $4,000 a year, and
even more, to watch the supplies and
buy at the cheapest possible prices.
/ The salary of $4,000 seems big fol
a buyer-but it is small when you
realize that such buyer may bring
in, at a wonderfully low price, mil
lions of dollars worth of goods.
If you watch carefully the adver-
tisements of the merchants you get
the benefit of the work done by the
highest priced buyers.
Il The merchants, competing in the
open market, put before you every
day their special prices, their special
inducements. Study them carefully.
1 When you go out to do your shop
| ping you should know just exactly
! where you are going, what you are
looking for, and what bargains you
have in mind.
L Try for awhile the results of care
full shopping in the advertisements
and careful buying in the stores, and
see how much you can reduce the cost
of living.
When you go to the store you can
say to the flst directing person that
you want to see such and such thing
that you saw advertised in The Even
ing Journal yesterday. You viii be
directed promptly and save time.
Shopping Is no longer hard work
or slow work. and the woman who
neglects it neglects an important duty.

their willingness to employ small groups
of the men. The men accepting these
positions will. naturally. be forced to
undergo an added expense. caring for
