School Notes.

On Friday, the 18th, the High
school pupils were given q rare
treat in the nature of an address
on the man Abraham Lincoln. by
Col. w. A. Conover, our neigh
Dor who resides near Griffith
station3
Col. Conover is nearing his 80th
birthday, and with his snow
white locks makes an impressive
appearance. He braved the
storm and was prompt to fill his
engagement
We all count it a privilege to
meet and know a man who knew
Abraham Lincoln personally. The
The address was an inspiration
to the boys and girls. A man
like this, speaking from age and
wisdom deserves to be heard and
appreciated. Our pupils and all
others who heard the address
Friday surely enjoyed it thor
oughly.,
We wish to thank the Colonel
for his address and wish him
many returns of the day.

Goes Back Home.

Chas. Mccormick, who has
been in Arvada the past two
months attending his son Alvin,
who has been here for his health
started with the latter Saturday
morning for their home at Burns
City, Indiana. The attending
physician did not speak very en-
couragingly Of the young mans
condition ,and as he was very
homesick it was decided to take
him back to his home. Mr.. Nc
Cormick, who is a prominent
nurseryman in Indiana, speaks
in highest terms of Arvada and
its people as he learned to know
them during his short stay, and
he hopes to make arrangements
to spend his winters here in the
future and put his youngest son
in school here. He asks the En-
terprise to extend the thanks of
himself and son to the good
people who administered to their
comfort while here. Particular
ly he desires to thank Mrs. Bur-
ton, whose home is just across
the alley from where they lived,
Mrs. John Jeffreys. the Misses
Powers, Rev. c. M. Cooper and
Rev. Frank Dametz for their
many kindnesses. Alvin became
converted during the revival
meetings altho he could not at
tend and his father is greatly
pleased over this event in the
young mans life.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, an
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cur
is the only positive cur now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have SO

new INVENTION
REDUCING COST
OF MOVING CANE

J Especial Star Bulletin Corresp4 IdPncel
HIl.O, Hawaii, Apr. 90. Over at
PdhalA IL 'ntation d new invention that
promises TO reduce the cost Of taking
of the crop OF cane is being tried out
with much success. The apparatus is
used in the conveying OF cut cane from
the tract that is usually cut on both
sides OF the flume. TO the flume itself
That obviates the work Of "hapai ko'
as carried out in the past by the me-
who cut the cane.
The gangs simply cut the cane now
for the proper distance from the flame
and then are moved down or up to
the next section OF cane that is to he
cut. A few men then do all the work
of seeing that the cane reaches the
flume-to be stacked for night flumin9
or to be dropped into the flume at
once.
To accomplish this much desired OBJ
ject the new invention is brought into
action. The apparatus consists of an
endless carrier, or rather a series OF
carriers, which stretch out from the
flume, at right angles, across the sec.
ton Of cut cane.
The carriers are made in sections,
OF steel and canvas. Rollers are, OF
course, provided for the carrier, which
has ribs on 1t, to pass along. The
cane is picked up by a man or two,
dumped on the carrier and is at once
carried to the flume where a man
sees that the stalks drop in properly
The operation is simple and the
amount OF cane that can be handled
by a couple Of men is wonderful.
The carriers, which are operated by
small gasoline engines. can he shifted
with the greatest Of ease when desired.
The whole apparatus weighs but little
and when any great distance has to be
covered, mules, sledges or wagons are
used
In the past it has been the practise
on most plantations to have the cane.
cutting gangs cut to a specified dis
lance from the main or portable flume.
1t has then been the practise to cease
cutting and have the men carry the
cane to the flume. The last operation
takes much time and is hard work.
BY the use of the new carriers, the
cane can, be cheaply and easily dump
ed in the flume by couple of men.
The invention, which has been tried
out, appears to be one of the most
promising Of many years in connection
With cane harvesting; ."''': .~.@', d
