Passionate Closes

Under the Methodist polity, Rev
| l.. L. Lowance's pastorate of Mon
terey circuit has closed, his four.
year tenure expiring with the pres.
ent session of the annual confer
ence now being held in the city Of
Washington. Mr.. Lowance preach.
ed his last sermon on Sunday night
to a large and appreciative audience
and left Monday morning for con-,
ference.
His next field of labor and the
name of his successor are things
that will not be known until the
appointments are read out next
week.
A large majority of the people,
regardless of church utilization, re-
greet to give Mr.. Lowance up. The
excellence of his ministerial work
is conceded by all. He is a deep
thinker and hard student, the
effect of his close study being seen
in the pleasing and profitable vari-
ETY. which characterized his SER
mons; he eschews sameness and
brings "out of his treasure things
new and old" Under the influence
of divine JUNCTION, he often preach
ed with an energy, eloquence and
effect equaled by few, and perhaps
exceeded by no pastor who has ever
served this work. His walk before
men was in strict keeping with his
calling-his upright life being a
constant comment on the pure Cos
pei he preached. Unless his frail con-
stitution proves handicap, Mr.:
Lowance is destined to fill some of
the highest stations in the confer
ence during the coming years.
~~ At the closing service on Sunday
night he congratulated himself and
his parishioners on the fact that he
would this time take to conference
the best report from the circuit that
he had ever made. That the salary
was paid in full, and, while there
was a small deficit in. the confer
enoe claims at a few of the appoint
ments, the charge had really paid
more than ever before, because
these benevolences had been in
creased last year.
He also gave the following data
from his private diary notes
which he said he always kept-and
they are of interest to the people
whom he has served for four years:

Where to Get
A Good w tch

If you want a good watch, buy
it here. A watch needs the per
sonal adjustment to the owner that
only an expert jeweler can give a
watch.
A good watch runs differently for
different people. If you lean over
great deal in your work, or jolt
over rough roads in a wagon or
move quickly etc your watch is
affected and needs to be regulated
by an expert watch man for few
days after you buy it.
A mail order house can't send
you a man to do that so you are
just plain lucky if you get a mail
order watch that keeps time.
We are watch inspectors for the
B. & O. railroad and naturally in a
position to give good service.
If your old watch needs atten-
ton or you need a new one see US.

Sugar makers seem to think that
the close of the 1915 season is near
at hand. This is indicated by the
presence of sap In the water, which
renders it of less value, while it
spells "finis" for the business.
If this theory prove correct, and
the season is virtually over, the
output will probably be about
normal, or an average year pro
duction. In some localities the
amount of sugar and syrup will
fall below the average year. Clark
Hevener, of Hightown, who oper-
ates one of the best camps in the
county, was over last Saturday and
reported about 100 gallons of syrup
and $50 lbs of sugar to date.
This is not big for his camp, as he
himself remarked.
Perry Pufinbarger, of Forks OF
Water is in position to furnish
data as to the capacity and value of
single tree, and it is interesting,
not to say astonishing, to the man
who never gave the business any
special thought.
He has one big black sugar,
standing on the bank of the creek
where ample moisture is afforded,
and from this tree he had made,
prior to March Goth, IS pounds of
sugar and 5 gallons of syrup. The
flow of sap for one day. during the
height of the season, was ten TO-
qnart bucketfuls-25 gallons. At
prevailing prices, supposing the
sugar to have been turned into
small cakes of the confectioner's
type, we find the following none
tary return from the one tree
35lbs sugar 123c $4.373
5 gals. syurp at ST 500
Total se.375
This tree, of course, is an excep-
tional one, but if the county could
secure and successful utilize pro-
portionate drip from all her sugar
trees, it would prove the banner
industry-a veritable gold, mine,

Men From Office OF Weights and
Measures Commission May be in
Here to Look at
Instruments.
TRAVEL IN AUTOS NOW
Especially Constructed Cars Have
Been Put into Use by the De-
psrtment For Men Making
Inspections.

Scale inspectors from the Office or
w. B. Barney, commissioner OF
weights and measures, at Des Moines,
may be expected in this vicinity soon.
The inspectors have arrived in Bur-
lington and are busy testing scales
there At Burlington the scale In
spector was accompanied by NJ. e.
Flynn, pure food inspector.
The inspection in Iowa is being car
ried on in state car which was es-
pecially built to order for the state
of Iowa by the Studebaker company.
The state ordered the machines last
spring and they have been In use
since their delivery, about three
weeks ago.
a The average weight OF the car Is
3,4GO pounds, and is so equipped that
tests may be made from 80 Of an
ounce to two tons. During the work
in Rurlin cton, tifty-pound weights are
being used. InSaddition to the weights
there, is apparatus for the testing OF
counter scales. gas pumps, berry
boxes and liquid measures.
An important part of the outfit is
an accurate scale set in agate bear
ipgs which may be used to rectify
scales which are incorrect. This scare
has very fine graduations and if the
weight is found to be too light. the
inspector will make the correction by
the use of lead. or so instruct the
owner that he may do the work him.
self.
In cases where the weights cannot
be INN ediately remedied, they are
condemned and confiscatca. Another
interesting part Of the apparatus are
the materials used for determining
the relation between dry and liquid
measure. A small cylinder having a
capacity Of 9:45 cubic inches is placed
in quart box containing rice, etc.
The cylinder is filled with the rice
also. After this amount has been re
moved from the dry quart measure
the contents left should exactly fill a
, receptacle which has capacity OF
one liquid quart. There are other
graduations Of these measures for
pints and gills.
In many cases weights have been
found to be incorrect, not SO much
due to fault of the owner as to lack
of knowledge. Inspector briggs
knows scales from A to 2 and is al
ways glad to advise the scale man in
such cases. "a
