MADE FROM SCRAPS
sERVlcEABLE LOCOMOTIVE PUT
TOGETHER IN ODD WAY.
Canton (O.) Man Has Shown Great
Ingenuity in Construction of En-
CINE That Does Its Work
With Satisfaction.

A strange-appearing locomotive, but
one that is very serviceable neverthe-
less, has been constructed by an en-
piOyee of plant in Canton, O.. from
various odds and ends which he found
about the establishment. The whole
cOntrivance was built without pur-
chasing par. A boiler and an nd
engine were mounted on a small fiat
car and properly connected. One of
the aXleS of the car was extended
and pulley rigidly fastened to it. An
endless steel cable transmits power
to two car wheels through this pulley
from a similar pulley mounted on the
engine. The cable is wound around
each pulley two or three times to in
crease its friction, and is held taut
by means of two other pulleys which
draw it to either side. One of these
auxiliary pulleys is held in place by
a long coil spring. The other has been
drawn into position by a turnbuckle
evidently once used on much heavier
work. The locomotive is employed to
haul dump cars loaded with dirt, and
does it as satisfactorily as an Ordi-
nary engine would.-Popular Mechan-
les Magazine.

How One Road Saves Money

Economy and retrenchment is the
watchword Of railroad company in
the United States, which has recently
introduced the practice of using the
same envelope several times. These
receptacles for letters are ruled off
into IL squares sufficient for name and
address, and each square represents
one use. Every time an envelope has
served its purpose the last name and
address are crossed out and the next
empty square is used for the ensuing
transaction. 1t is claimed that dur
ing the last two years 3,250000 en-
velopes have been saved representing a
value of nearly $1,000. OF course the
envelopes are only employed in in
ter-departmental business, rs they
would not be received by the post Of
flee except as regards the first name
and address.

To Initiate Thatch Roof.

OF the various attractive roof eff
fectr which can be achieved with
either the asphalt or the wood shlngle,
none are more popular at present than
that of the imitation of the old English
thatch.
This effect is obtained by what Is
known as the woven Single method,
whereby the shingles are laid in
courses varying in width from one inch
to seven inches.
While undoubtedly a roof of this
sort lends charm and distinction to
houses of a certain style of archi-
lecture, from the nature of the work.

the roof cannot be considered a cheap
one.
To those who do not have to con-
slider expense closely, the soft finish OF
the imitation thatch must make o
strong appeal.

Autos and Railroads.

In a considerable number of annual
reports of railroad presidents in the
last two years mention has been made
of inrOadS which automobiles are
making on railroad passenger bust
ness. There is another aspect, how
ever, of the development of the auto
mobile and automobile truck which
may turn out to be of considerable adj
vantage to railroad development. The
use of the automobile and the auto
mobile truck is acting as a preventive
of branch line railroad building, thus
conserving capital for betterments to
existing lines. A good road is built by
the state or county, and this road, with
the development of the automobile
truck, acts as feeder for the railroads
which it crosses and, moreover, feed
er built with the public's capital and
not the railroad company's capital.
Improbable branch line mileage has
been the old man of the sea on the
back of many Il railroad in this cOun-
try. A good state or county road
crossing a railroad will be a feeder to
it for forty to fifty miles on either side
of the track. At the present time
there are many rural communities
which are sending freight and passen-
gers over forty miles or more of good
road to the nearest railroad by auto
mobile-as much traffic as the railroad
could hope to get over branch line,
the interest charges ON which would be
great enough to eat up nearly all the
profit on the line haul.-Railway Ga

his high calling, he fell on sleep. He
died in the full possession of all his
faculties, with his face to the foe, in
all the armor of soldier Of the cross.
His death was great loss to the
itinerant Methodist ministry, to the
citizenship of Tennessee; to the hosts
of the church militant.
He left memory that will ever be
cherished by all who honor the high
est qualities of manhood. He was I'M

He was a citizen without reproach.

him and who knew him will keep him
in memory for the good deeds that he

never found wanting. He gave himself
to any task to which
he was assigned. He never repudiated
an obligation nor evaded an issue. In

CORN INTENDED FOR
EXHIBITION SHOULD
Be WHOLLY UNIfO ON.
IF CARE is TAKEN BY FARMERS
SHOW WILL BE ONE OF REsTIN
HISTORY, SAYS FARRIS.
PURITY OF SAMPLE / IMPORTANT
No Yellow Grains Should Be In The
White Ears to be Showed-Crooked
Ears Make Just 40 Much Corn, But
Straight Ones Best for Exhibition.

The corn intended for exhibit in thu
show at Agricultural Day on October
8, should be uniform in all respects
is the statement of County Agricul
tural Agent o. l.. Farris.
When interviewed this morning, Mr.
Farris said:
In selecting corn for show pur
poses the following points must be
taken into consideration: conforma.
ton to type; uniformity of sample
that is all ten ears the same length
and size; similarity of grains, purity
of sample; the filing out of the butts
and tips; straightness of the rows on
the ears, and the straightness of ears
I'm the question of conformation ia
type the ears must be of the same
color, No red ears must be placed
with the white corn. The farmer
should be careful about chaffy grains
in smooth type ear.
above all things, the ears must be
uniform, that is a long ear should not
be placed with nine short ones, nor
one short ear with nine long ones.
One small ear should not be placed
with nine large ones, nor one large
one with nine small ones.
Purity of sample is of paramount
Importance. Be careful about having
mixed grains. No yellow grains should
be in the white ears that are intended
for exhibition.
"a perfect ear of corn is supposed
to be we'll covered at the butts and
tips. Several points are given on the
scorecard for this item. Judges are
especially careful to notice the butts
and tips of the ears on exhibition.
"ln the yield of the ear, crooked
ear makes just as much corn as a
straight ear, but the appearance of a
crooked one will ruin the exhibitors
chances of obtaining a premium. The
same fact applies to crooked rows on
the ears.
81 am expecting the farmers of the
county to use great care in the selec,
ton of the ears. If attention is paid
to this all important factor, ! am ex.
pecting the show on October 9 to be
one of the greatest of it's kind ever
held"
