 Virtually all submarines in use now are without breakWater shields, but it is very probable the ships building for the United States government at the Lake plant will be equipped with the Robinson invention.
 According to MI. Robinson the shields vary in size, depending upon the size of the craft. They consist of a series of metal plates.
 With Robinson's patent the follow ing were issued July 20, 1915. (List furnished from the office of A. M. Wooster, solicitor of patents, Bridge

STOCK MARKET

New York, July 24-Opening- feet of the American reply to the American note had been discounted in the markets action during the last few days, so that although consider ed drastic, it had but little influence at the opening of the stock exchange today. Initial quotations were frac- tionally irregular. Immediately fol- lowing, prices advanced vigorously under the leadership of United States Steel. Bethlehem Steel, Crucible Steel, Westin ghouse Electric and Baldwin Locorn otiVe. Bethlehem Steel inn proved 8 1-2 to 2o9 1-2, g, high rec
 ord, on runors of further large con tracts. Several other shares approd-
 mated recent high levels, but press
 ure was again applied to the Gould group.
 Closing.-Pool operat tions were aided by the reception accorded the Presi- dents message in the street and the fact that outside influences had been anticipated. Hasty profit taking and a. desire to await enligh tenment the manner in which the Presidents mes sage will be received at Berlin caused a reaction but there was 8 sharp up turn later Sensational buying of cleo trtc boat in the outside market sent it up 75 points to $40. The closing was strong. Bonds were steady.

McCHESNEY
Speaks To A Large Audience.

Hon. H. V. McChesney spoke at the
court house Saturday afternoon to a
large and appreciative audience COM
posed of some of the best people of the
city and county He was also compli-
mented by good attendance of leading
church women. He was introduced to
the people by Rev. E. B barnes, pastor
of the First Christian Church of this
city, in short but we'll pointed speech.
In the course of his speech he address
ed him self to the issues of the day in a
very brief way and then launched into
his main theme, that of submitting to a
vote of the people the question of an
amendment to the Constitution, per-
hitting the people to vote on the ques-
ton of state wide prohibition. He gave
facts and figures to show that there
would be no economic loss to the tax
payers of the state to have statewide
prohibition instead of the license system
which now prevails.
In his speech, he referred to Mr.. Stan
ley as wet democrat" who has
Sous sd the cause of the liquor interests
throughout his career. He said that he
was present at the convention in Louis
Vile and that Mr.. Sta nley voted the
county delegation of Henderson, his
home county, wet. He said Mr.. Stanley
did not vote aye or nay on the question
before the house but that he emphasized
the word "wet" and stated that he voted
Henderson county WET" He also
stated that Mr.. Stanley had declared that
he would carry out the county unit law
but that probably he meant by that,
that he would carry it out on a stretcher.
The speech was a clear cut and force
full presentation of the dry side of the
question.
AT the conclusion of the speech, Mr..
McChesney was surrounded by the peo-
pie who shook hands with him and
promised him their support.
Mrs. McChesneY was in the audience
and she received much attention from
the people who wanted to shake hands
with her ''the brave little woman who
was so valiantly supporting her husband
in the fight for the best interest of the
state and of humanity"
Unquestionably the speech did much
good for Mr.. McChesney and he will
have strong following in this county
which will grow stronger each day.

Buy At Home.

Twenty nine years ago | began my
furniture was mostly homemade
chairs, cupboard and lounge made from
dry goods boxes, neatly covered by 10
cent cretonne by my girl wife. We rent
ed eighty acres. Being boy of good
habits, got all needed machinery and
groceries of our home merchants on
credit. until fall crops were sold. The
first year was wet season and did not
make enough to pay creditors. l went
to each on date of promise and explain
sible, and they all carried the balance
over another year. They continued to
accommodate me until was able TO buy
a forty-acre piece of my own.
"As soon as | owned these few acres
the mail order houses began sending
me catalogs, and l began sending my
loose change TO them, letting my &C
counts stand in my home town, where
had gotten accommodation when need
ed it.
1--WE then had one of the thriftiest
little villages in the state-good line of
business in all the branches, merchants
who were willing to help an honest fel
low over bad year, and town full of
people who came twice week to trade
and visit. Our little country town sup
ported library, high school, band, ball
team, and we had big celebrations every
year.
"a farm near a live town soon doubles
in value. sold my forty acres at big
advance and bought an eighty, gradual
ly adding to it until l had 200 acres of
the best land in Iowa l then felt no
no need of asking favors and found it
easy to patronize the mail order agents
that came'almost weekly to our door
| regret to say that / was the first in the
county to make up a neighborhood bill
and send it to a mail order house.
Though we got bit every once in while
we got in the habit of sending away for
stuff
Gradually our merchants lessened
their stock Of goods-for loss f
patronage. Finally we began to realize
that when we needed bolt quickly for
machinery, or clothing for sickness or
death, we had to wait aud send away
for it, which wasn't so pleasant. One
by one our merchants moved TO places
where they we're appreciated, and men
of less energy moved in. Gradually our
town has gone down. Our business
houses are 'tacky' in appearance, a
number are empty, our schools, church
es and walks are going down, we have
no band, no library or ball team. There
is no business done in the town, there
fore no taxes to keep things up. Hotel
is closed for lack of travel. Go down to
the depot when the freight pulls in and
you will see the sequel in mail order
packages.
Nine years ago my farm was worth
S195 an acre; today I'd have hard mat
ter to sell it at $167 an acre. 1t is too
far from live town-so every farmer
has said that wants to buy. He wants a
place near schools and churches where
his children can have advantages. /
have awakened to the fact that in help
ing to pull down the town it cost me
81, 600 in nine years.
