that only the well-to-do awaited
themselves of the convenience. As
result Of the Invention of a ma
chine for making matches, any one
of several American factories can
make twice as many matches in a
day as could be made in a year In
England in the forties. The inven-
ton of automatic boxmakers served
also to reduce the price of matches
to a point at which they could be
used generally.
The supplantation of hand labor
by machinery popularized matches.
There will be a continuous increase
in the cost of the materials of which
match heads are made as long as the
war continues, but the slight in
crease in the cost of the product will
not be sufficient to deter even the
very poor outside of China from us

Less than a century ago the ''in-

seven dozen Congreve matches,
which were ignited by drawing them
between a fold of sandpaper. sold
for "a shilling box in England, ac-
cording to an exchange. They did
not have wide sale because they
failed to light half the time. and
when they did ignite the stencil of
the chemicals was such that the air
ing of the room was necessary. Lu-
offer matches were not sold general

century. At that time each match
was a stick whitfield by hand, and

An OLD GAME PLAYED
ON CRE0UL0US PUBLIC
Smooth. Talking Man Made a
"KiIIing" With GuIIible
Court Day Crowd.

The Bowling Green Messenger
says:
Men in Warren county are about
up to the average in intellectually,
but somehow once in so often they
is filed with whiskers by reason of
age. On Monday a heavy-set man of
the Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford
type, drove up in buggy on the
street alongside Fountain Park. He
had negro for driver, and was also
Enthusiastically dressed in a clowns
costume. The negro rang a bell and
a crowd gathered around He made
talk in which he intimated that
money was no object to him, and
that the easiest way he had heard of
to dispose of surplus wealth was to
give it away. Incidentally. however,
while he was debating in his mind
how best to make his friends happy
and prosperous, he would offer a few
genuine razors for those who needed
razors at the small sum of dollar
apiece, but that 1t did not make
any difference to him whether they
bought or not, as his living did not
depend on their sale. nor would it
influence him in the slightest degree
in what he purposed to do later on.
One man finally bought the weapon,
and Col. Wallingford marked some
on the case. Then an
other concluded to invest, and there
were some more marks. Then an
other, and another, until it looked
as if everybody in the county had
to ecOnomize by shaving
The talk went on just the
same, and while there was never any
direct promise of what his ultimate
purpose was, the audience was led !
to believe that the holder of one of
the blades was going to be a special |

In this way a hundred blades were !,
sold.

who had bought razor to hold up

Wonderful to relate, he sold an
extra razor to fifty men who had al
ready bought in the first seance.

Colonel, Il have kept the best until

One hundred men walked up in
Indignified haste, and each received

This closed the transaction. and
