SMALLPOX PATIENT SCARES
GRAND ISLAND POLICEMEN

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Dec 3.-(spe-
cial-The police headquarters was some-
what astounded and peeved when Frank
Schran, with a well developed case of
small pox. walked into the place and
demanded supplies for himself and fam
lily. 1t appears that he came here week
ago from Kansas city, that shortly there
after he and his family were found TO
have contracted the disease. and that
they were promptly quarantined. Run
ming out of coal, he had phoned to the
chairman OF the county boards com
mittee having charge of the matter. and
coal was ordered. but It appears it was
not delivered in time. Schram also de-
clared that he was short of supplies Of
food. Hurriedly fumigating, the chief Of
police lost no time in an effort to get
into communication with the chairman
TO have the man returned to his home
and to have the home provisioned.

Effect of the Good

Morehead's Plans
(From a statf correspondentl


LINCOLN. Dec. g.. Especial )--Just
what the effect Of the meeting OF good
roads boosters will have on Governor
Moreheads plans, regarding a third term
for governor, will probably be shown
later when the executive has had time
to think about It,
With dozen men boosting him as a
good business executive and sounding his
praises, while a couple of hundred moro
loudly and wildly applauded the speeches,
IL might create in the mind of the gov
ernor a feeling that ne would like to
carry his public career farther than just
the governship and launch out for the
nomination for the United
States senate.
In any event the reception given the
governor at the banquet held last night
at the Lincoln hotel given by the Lin
coin Commercial club and the enthusiasts
tic and even wild demonstration given
whenever the governors name was men,
toned. served to make the cold shivers
run UP and down the back of certain
Hitchcock men present and gave every
evidence that they feared the plans to
switch the executive from the senatorial
race track to some other track might
have miscarried

.OIL-LESS WIND MILL
LOCAL ACHIEVEMENT
Machine Produced by MiSha-
waka Concern Removes
Necessity for Climbing Shaft
to Grease Bearings.

How many other wind mill fac
tories are there besides yours?" The
News-Times man asked the manager
" the Perkins Wind Mill q Engine
Co. 'Seventy-One that we know of. -
he replied
This rather staggered the reporter.
who had only heard of two or three,
and never particularly noticed which
make of mill drew the water he
drank during his wanderings over the
country.
1t was further learned that II of
these factories manufactured an aV-
erage of over 5000 mills each. an
nually. 1t was also learned that the
local factory makes "a sizes and
kinds of wind mills for various
pumping and power uses.
1t was also learned that interesting
experiments are now being made,
looking toward the use of power wind
mills for generating power for storage
batteries.
1T is probable" said the manager,
that in two or three years many
farmers will not only light their
homes, but operate grinders, churns
and perhaps cook with electricity
from this power generated from the
wind blowing over the farm house.
The reporter had supposed a wind
mill TO be a wind mill, and all alike,
but in this he finds he is in error also.
Twenty years ago, wind mills were
made with solid bearings, until the
local factory led in inauguration of a
split bushing, and this was soon fol-
lowed by others. Then the local fac
tory began the making of replaceable
bushings which is also now general.
The old Perkins patent of self .regu-
lation has also been initiated by 80
per cent of the factories, doing away
with the old fashioned spring, or rod
and ball.
Next came the Perkins double arm
steel mill with one set of gears and a
face plate, then the set of gears and
engine crank shaft, all followed by
others.
Oilers See Steady Advance.
Then the oiling devices have seen
steady advance in the various kinds
of steel mills. First was the little
open oil hole, requiring oil twice a
week, then the large covered oil cup,
then the grease cup. the push oi!er,
and the ring oiler; of which the push
and hing oiler are the only feasible
and real oiling devices to be depended
upon.
A so-called bath" oiler was r ed
out by the local factory several years
ago, and never put on the market,
because the abrasion from the gears
filled the oil bath with fine particles
of iron and the gears were soon a
wreck. other factories have tried
this method since, only to come to
Grief, at the expense of the purchaser.
With two sets of gears the trouble is
only aggravated by twice the wear
so the oil box or bath" must De
cleaned out each week and clean oil
substituted. For this thoroughly tried
out reason, the mill was never put on
the market by the local factory, and
it's failure never given to the world.
About five years ago came the
browning glory in wind mill building,
and resulted in the building of the
mill here Illustrated by it's main body.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-02-28

This mill was the result of an ac-
cidental talk by the superintendent
and manager Of the local factory,
with the representative of a large ex-
port house, over lubricants, and the
result of experiments by a certain
process of inserting an especially pre-
pared mixture in phosphor- bronze
bushings. which would do away en-
tirely with any lubricant, with no oil
hole or grease cup on the mill A
number of these oil-less double-geaIed
mills were made up for the South
African and Central American mar
kets. and with such success that re-
peat orders followed rapidly, and this
year the mill is being put on the do
nestle market with great success.
The one attractive feature is that
after erecting the mill, the owner
need never go up the tower again 10

THE most gratifying feature Of this
