,NvEhTs COMBINATION SWITCH
Lars Halvorson, the Local Genlus,
Has Perfected Several New
Inventions.

mas TerTeCIeO several No"
Inventions.
Lars Halvorson, the Willmar inven-
tor, has been putting in his spare time
to good advantage this winter He has
perfected two or three inventions
which amply testify to the mechanical
genius and ability of Lars. One Of
these for which Lars has applied for
his patent, is an auto switch which
will prevent anyone from stealing or
running away with the car to which
it is attached unless the party knows
the combination. It is never-failing
combination similar to that Of q safe
only more easily set and opened. This
invention looks like a mighty good
thing. A second invention is a SELF
winding clock. It has no electric bat
terry attached. Lars model has now
run fifteen months without being
touched. 1t is safe to say that no
perpetuum motion principle is involv-
ed, for Lars knows better than fight
against gravity. A third invention is
a master clock which will control
other clocks within a wide radius by
a clever use of the wireless electric
principle. Here's hoping the inventor
will reap the reward that his diligent
work and research entities him to.
