chasing agent, Fowler S. Smith, of
the United and Globe Manufacturing
company, without couplings at the
price OF 46 Is cents per foot. This
to stand a test of 400 pounds for three
years. The committee held that the
contract did not show a brand OF
hose and that the guarantee could not
be enforced

ter. bought hose from the Eureka
Fire Hose company. Il. ID. l." brand,
the same as Wheeling. at 80 cents, the
price that Wheeling paid. Chief Ed
ward r. Rose stated that all com.
panies made different grades OF hose
which would stand an initial test, but
which would not hold up.
Member OF the board OF control, e..
II. Brues, told OF the purchase of the
hose. saying that all bidders submit
ted their bids: that they were IN.
structed IL they wished to lower their
bid before 10 was opened they might
but after the bid was opened IL must
stand. This was agreed TO. he said,
and the contracts were awarded.
+. ii. Vaas. chairman OF the com
mittee. said he had been led TO be.
lieve that the resolution was prompted
by political aspirations. This was

Revenue Stamps Worth $4,000
on This Deed.

A'deed bearing revenue stamps
to the face value of $4,000 and
which it will cost more thon $40 to
have recorded in each county is
being filed in the counties through
which the Wabash passes. The
deed is from Chester H. Krum, a
special master in chsncery in In
diana, and others to the Wabash
railway company and is for prop
erty on which the railroad com
pany's tracks are located.
A ST revenue stamp must be
affixed to a deed for every $1,000
of consideration for the land to
which the railroad acquired title is
$18,000.000. The deed must be
recorded in every county through
which the road passes and the cost
in each will be practically the same
so that the cost of recording alone
will amount to a considerable sum
of money. The deed is dated Octo-
Der %, 1915.

Life-Saving Apparatus For Loco
motive Crew.

IuOLlNS (lOW.
In an attempt to provide a means
of safeguarding locomotive engineers
and firemen against serious injury
and death in railway accidents a
southern inventor has developed a
mechanical apparatus which has
elements of novelty and interest,
even though the practicability of
all its features may be contested in
some degree, says the December
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Primarily the contrivance consists
of two large steel cylinders mounted
in frame attached beneath and at
the sides of an engine cab, immed-
lately under the seats The cylinders
are made of boiler plate reinforced
on the inside with a series of
channel irons that enable it to with
stand a crushing force of as much
as 500 touS. By pulling a lever, the
seat upon which an operator is sit
ting is released. This drops him,
seat and all, into the cylinder, which
is then closed mechanically and
thrown free from the train.
Besides offering an engine crew
an avenue of escape, the apparatus
PERFORMS the duties of both the
engineer and fireman after they
have abandoned the locomotive. In
this way the welfare of passengers
aboard a train is looked after. When
in order to save his life. an engineer
draws back the lever that drops
him into the cylinder, the action
simultaneously throttles the engine
applies sand to the rails, sets the
air brakes. dumps the fire, and
pOurs extinguishing agents upon it.
A full-page illustration shows
the construction of the apparatus
and graphically describes its use in
an accident.

N. U. TO HAVE COURSE FOR
RURAL PREACHERS.
First Meeting of Kind in United
States to Be Held During Farm
ers' Week Jan. 81.

That the rural preacher becomes
more efficient in his field in propor-
tion to the broader acquaintance

preachers will be given each day
beginning at $50 o'clock in the
morning and ending at 3 in the af-
ternoOn. In these talks, the rural
preachers will be given a chance to
hear men discuss rural conditions
and progressive moments for the
betterment of country life. as they
have learned from years of study
and investigation. from 8 to 6
o'clock each afternoon, the rural
preachers will be given an opportu-
nifty to attend the Home Makers
and Rural Life conferences. Pro-
fessors L. L. Bernard and S. D.
Gromer of the University faculty
and Prof. A. W.Taylor of. the Mis-
souri, Bible College will lecture daily
at the country preachers meeting.
The subjects announced are: The
Family and the Rural Community"
Marriage. Divorce and the Modern
Home; The Social Activity of the
Rural Community; Wealth, Power
ty aud the Division of Profits; The
Country School and Its Problems;
"Non-Resistance and the Use of
Force; The Country School and
Efticieny'; The Church and Pop
ular Amusements."

Week and the Farmers Short
Course in Agriculture. giving the
entire program of meetings. ad-
crosses and demonstrations, will be
ready for distribution by December
