mail CARRIERS MAY
USE AUTOMOBILES
THE CENTERvILLE POSTMEN
MAY USE CARS TO WORK
THEIR ROUTES.

Centerville, Aug. 9.-Centerville
rural mail carriers may soon be travel
ing their routes in style as result of
the latest ruling of the postoffice de-
partment which permits of the use of
automobiles on routes where the topo-
graphy of the country and the condi-
ton of the roads will permit of an un-
interrupted use of the motorized
vehicles for an extended period where
the mail can be promptly conveyed.
Postmaster Haynes expressed a be-
lief that conditions here were such as
to favor the use of the cars although
1t is likely that the carriers will still
be forced to retain their wagons for
use during extended rainy periods
when the roads would not warrant the
use of cars. The bulletin received an
nounces that after January /, 1916, the
use of motorcycles and bicycles on
rural routes will not be permitted.

JEFFERSON C0.FA|R
A GREAT SUCCESS
IDEAL WEATHER LAST THREE
DAYS BRINGS OUT THE
CROWDS.

Fairfield, Aug. 8. The Jefferson
County Fair closed Saturday afternoon
after having had one OF the best fairs
which has been held In Fairfield for
several years. The most ideal weather
conditions prevailed during the last
three days and the crowds of people
who attended were 80 thankful for the
fine weather that the Joy In their faces
and manner was catching and every
body thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Because of the fact that several OF
the near by fair associations had can
celled their dates or postponed their
fairs more fine race horses were here
than has ever been bfore and the com.
petition for winners was keen. AL
though the tracks were heavy for
Thursdays races good time was made
and the owners were satisfied with the
time their horses made. On Friday and
Saturday the track was In fine condi-
ton and 1t is claimed that the pacing
and trotting races were extraordinarily
we'll done.
The fair association gave away three
automobiles, one on each Of the three
last days. On Thursday Mrs. Harold
Cassell received one On Friday Lester
johnson, the IA year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs Orville Johnson was given one
and on Saturday the automobile went
to Henry Pierson.
1t is estimated that there were be-
tween three and five thousand people
attended each day and the gate re-
ceipts were very satisfactory to the Of
dcers Of the association.

ELECTRIC SPARKS.
Simple Homemade Apparatus by Which
 They May Be Produced.

Simple Homemade Apparatus by Which
 They May Be Produced.
 The ordinary person either does not understand or is afraid of electricity and could scarcely be persuaded to manufacture it himself, and yet after all a little electrical experiment at home is both amusing and instructive. All that you have to do is to take glass, expose it to the fire so that it shall be perfectly dry and place it up- side down upon the table.
 Afterward take a tray, also perfectly dry, and place it upon the glass in such a way that 1t shall preserve it's equilibrium. Finally take a sheet of paper slightly smaller than the tray. heat 1t and rub it rapidly with brush, and it will become quickly electrified Then place it upon the tray.
 An electrical machine will thus have been constructed without any expense. If the finger be brought near the tray spark will appear. This spark will be so much the brighter and the series of sparks will be so much the longer in proportion as the glass and tray are drier.
 If. when the sparks are being drawn from the tray. the room in which the experiment is performed be darkened these sparks will appear extremely brilliant.-Pearson's Weekly.
