every man who was in town re-
porting except two, who had
been excused. A systematic, in
spectlon of all the business
houses in town was made. All
chlmneys and stove pipe connec-

only three being condemned.'
Conditions were found much
better than anticipated and if the
business men make the repairs
and clean up the rubbish as rec
commended, the town, SO far as
the business section is concerned
may be said to be in the best of
condition for winter. Chief Mat
Carey and two assistants are in
specting the residence section

to be done will be a general over
hauling of the apparatus which
will take place next week.

Inform the Editor

One of the most difficult of the

People seem to think he ought to
know all these things by intui-
ton. 1t not that, the birth, death
or marriage is of such Importance
to the immediate family that it
is presumed the editor will be in
formed by some wireless or just
grow into the information. Then
When the paper comes out and
no mention is made of the event
the editor is blamed for not run
ming a good newspaper and not
getting all the news. Remember
there are a good many people in
this country. If the editor knew
each OF them by name, besides
their family history, and the
chief event in the lives of every
individual. he wouldn't be an ed
ltor. He'd be demi-god. rest

and wondering where the money
for the next white paper bill is
coming from. The life of the av-
erage neWpaper man is a CAV
one. Gathering news is a second
nature to him, like picking his
teeth with office pen, and cussing
the office towel. Just the same

Last week we thought of mil

nine thousand, three hundred and
sixty-four things Of Importance,
besides couple of hundred thou
sand small items unworthy of

We're anxious for news for the
paper, and it won't put you out
much to drop by the office or TEL

have a right to come down and

Keep the Colt Growing

To produce good draft horses
means careful attention from the
time colt leaves it's mother.
Weaning time is at hand, and the
man who anticipates an 1900
pound horse from his sucking
colt must be careful in keeping
that youngster growing every
day. True it will require some
extra labor and time to look after
him, but the additional gains and
development will be sufficient
recompense for the trouble.
If possible, it is we'll to tie up
the colts for a few days until
they have forgotten their moth
ers. This gives you an oppor-
tunity to halter break them while
young and give special attention
to their feed. A good sized lot
or pasture where they are off by
themselves will give them plenty
of chance to exercise and play.
Provide good, clean hay, end
gradually start them on oats. U.s.
uaIly the colt has acquired the
taste for oats during the summer
while with it's mother, and for
the colt crushed orrolled oats are
more valuable than whole oats. A
little bran mixed in makes a splen.
did tonic and a conditioner as
well. About one pound of grain
each 100 pounds of live weight
makes a good ration. Regular
ity Of feed is essential. A colts
stomach is small and will hold
ii limited amount of food at one
time, hence the necessity of feed
ing often becomes apparant.
Kindness in handling the colt is
Ian important factor in his early
education.

Pat Some "Kick" In It

One result Of discussion of the nations prepared
ness for war seems likely to be the formation of a
general staff for the navy similar to that of the army
The occupation of general staff is to put into
operation plans and resources in time of war and to
sit around looking wise the rest of the time To be
sure, we occasionally hear of the general staff test
ing some invention but really it is only about one
year IN twenty that the general staff is able to earn
its salt
We are going to suggest to President Wilson and
Secretary Daniels that if they have to appoint al
general staff they put in it citizen who knows lit
tie or nothing about naval affairs. This apontee
should be some shrewd honest, courageous man who
knows thief from professional expert, who can
spot a faker or lobbyist on sight and who has the
courage to denounce or body of men whOl
seek to exploit naval affairs for selfish ends.
The idea that general staff of directors of army,
navy, railroads of most anything else should consist
wholly of experts professionals is mistaken one.
It means limitation of views. 1t means the taking|
OF lot of things for granted that are not so or that
are obsolete. means lack of publicity to which the
public is entitled. 1t means less explanation Of thel
whyf There's no staff or association that isn't bet
ter for having an honest vigorous, kicking minority
This country doesn't need general naval staff
that will stick together up its weaknessesl
and look silently, for the fair repute of the navy
while millions are being wasted and war scares
worked up for the benefit of contractors general
staff should mean brains, all sorts of brains, not
merely brains bound up in a cold compress of red
tape and professionalism.

HERE'S AN ELECTRIC ALARM BELL. BOYS
THAT'S EASY TO MAKE, AND LOTS OF FUN
By Am Export ELECTRICIAN


An electric bell to use In your
home as dinner gong. fire
warning, doorbell, or for any one
of a dozen other uses, will be a
welcome convenience to- your
mother.
And your electric bell may be
made easily from the following
material arranged as shown in
the illustration. A block (A)
4x5 Ax% inches and one (B) AKA
inches, a 2h Inch iron bolt, a
piece of cardboard, a piece OF
sheet iron 4xA inch, little sol
der, 10 feet of No. % magnet
wire, a gong from an old clock,
two binding posts from off dry
cell and a small round stick OF
hard wood inches long (F).
First nail the two wooden
pieces together as shown. In the
upper end of the upright bore a
hole just big enough to slip the
bolt through. Cut out two wash
ers from the pasteboard and
place them on the bolt and screw
on the nut. Next wrap a layer
of common brown paper around
the bolt and wind on the No. %
wire, holding 1t by some good
linen thread when all wound on.
Friction tape may be used In
stead. Leave short length of
wire at each end Of the winding.
Now screw a small block of wood
in the middle OF the base to
fasten the hammer to, placing
the block SO as to bring the strip
of tin (R) screwed to 1t within
Is inch of the bolt end.
Solder a ball of solder, using
candle, on the end of the sheet
iron strip, then screw or nail it
to the little block on the base.
A second piece of tin (E) should
be filed pointed and after being
bent like (E), nailed or screwed
on the Dashboard so that the
point is very close to (R).
Bore hole half way through
the base and drive the small
round hardwood post into 1t (F)'.
Cut 1t off at the top Just the
right length to hold the gong
where the hammer will strike it.
The gong is placed on the sharp
ened end of the post.
Now screw the binding posts
into the base. Connect one end
of the magnet wire to a binding
post and the other end to the
hammer and rod, then connect
r(E) to the other binding post.
When posts are connected to a
battery and push button, the bell
will operate.
How this bell may be made use
of as bedside alarm in the
morning by. attaching 1t to a dis

\ Sign That Times Are Changing

One day in December two trains on New York IS
elevated railroad collided killing two men,
The happening wasn't uncommon. Few beside
the kin of the killed thought much about it.
Yet, one month later, very surprising thing hap-
pened.
The president of the road, its general manager
and its ten multmillionare directors were indicted
BY coroner's jury for 'culpable negligence" the
penalty for which is prison CELL
Five OF the biggest lawyers in that, our biggest
city strove with might and main to prevent the in
dictment; and, failing, cussed the coroner.
Twenty ten even five years ago, such a thing
couldn't have been; for in those days the powers
that owned the elevated also owned the government
Of the cty-they were free to kill and plumber well
nigh as they pleased.
coroner who should have dared to arraign Grim
ina greed at the bar of justice couldn't have gained
office
Any lawyer daring to stand before this mighty
power with plea for justice for weak victims
would have been bought off, scared off, dubbed OFF
or disbarred.
Now, it is the company's lawyers who are in dan
ger Of being disbarred; for the present coroner
doesn't like the way they sassed him and is going to
see if they can do that with impunity.
Those plute directors will never go to JAIL Of
course. Our courts would never do such an appall-
ing thing to rich man as that would be.
But it's rather heartening to see some people IN
authority make noise that sounded as though they
thought men who put profit above public safety
ought to be punished.
