Smith, who had lived in Washington
many years when first named to the

will revolutionize the liquor business in

The justice of the peace made it plain
that the gambling laws of the state
forbid the playing of games of chance
for money or other valuables. The case
before him involved solely the question
of playing cards for drinks. and he
placed the stamp of condemnation on
the practice by imposing fine of sou
and costs upon H. T. Cook. proprietor
of the saloon. An additional fine of 500
was imposed on a charge of keeping a
disorderly house
Cook gave notice of an intention 10

Wesley Bell. were the complainants IN
both cases. while several residents OF
the Cedarville section were reluctant
witnesses. In the disorderly house case
it was contended the sheriff anG his
deputy had heard loud, profane Ian =
guage indulged in by frequenters of the
Sa loon.
Neighbors said they had no cause Of
complaint on that score, and it was I.a-
possible for the sheriff to summon ihc
writer of several anonymous letters o:
complaint which had been received by
him.

their own urging, their appearance had
to be explained for them at the hotel
desk before they would enter to reg

The first purpose of the trip is to
aid the coast guard in its experiments
to solve the problems of navigation
out of sight of land, communication with
shore and ship from an airship and
other questions involved in the rela-
tions of aviation to coast guard activ-
tiles. Engineer Hall was stationed at
the gyroscope compass to test the pos
sibility of running an airship by dead
reck oning with this agency. The air
ship was not equipped with wireless,

An astonishing number OF stock are
killed each season by lightning. and
not few human beings, and in almost
every case the dead stock is found
near a wire fence. There is no doubt
but that large portion of this stock
and human life could be saved by
grounding the wires of the fence, but
as this calls for a large-sized, rather
expensive wire or iron rod, it is seldom
done.
An effective safety device may be
easily constructed as follows: Any or

driven four or five feet deep in the
hardest soil-at either depth the wire
