10 POSSIBILITY OF ERROR
Truck Counter Does Its Work Auto

Make Mistake.

An ingenious machine designed to
automatically count truck loads of

that where any considerable amount
Of shipping is being done, the truck
counter will frequently save its cost
in Il single day through the elimina-
ton of errors that invariably crccj,

The counter is so made that when
the truck rolls on to the apron, the
weight of the truck load presses the
apron down, the truck wheels move
the lever forward, and the load is
tailed. AS the trip lever moves for
ward it also goes down, and with
it the narrow apron; therefore the
platform becomes so nearly level that
no resistance is offered to the
trucker.

age is felt much less than it would
have been few years ago. The
folly of placing ell eggs in one bas-
ket was learned some years ago,
and diversified farming is now the
rule. Nothing but wheat was af.
fected by the rust, and the farmers
are now raising variety of crops,
as we'll az stock and hogs. The
short crop of wheat will therefore
not be severely felt by most of the
farmers.

It is important to remember that
the new eight hour law for trainmen
does not shorten the hours of work
in the least. They will make their
regular runs, and it will require the
same time as it did before. The
eight hour day is simply basis
for salary. Under the new law the
men receive pay for days work
whether they work eight hours or
less, bat for all over eight hours
they receive extra pay for over.
time. Il is therefore q law to in
crease wages rather than to dimin-
ish hours.

give Henry's write.up of the trip,
which appears below:
"On Monday, September 18th,
Alfred and I started out on our
journey to the Boys State Fair

change cars at Scotland, waiting
there nearly three hours, and ar
rived at Wolsey at five thirty p. m
Here We changed to the Northwest
ern road and left at seven o'clock
for Huron, reaching there after
dark.
The train stopped at the fair
grounds, which are about one half
mile west of the main part of town.
We got off there, and had some
trouble in finding our camp, but
finally located it, and met Mr..
Noteboom and registered as dele
gates to the camp.
We spent the evening around
the grounds, seeing the fireworks,
which were the best we ever saw.
We then went to bed sleeping on
cots. There were eight boys and
a captain in the tent, and about
eight tents in all.
The next morning when we arose
it was raining, which caused mud.
dy roads and small crowd for the
day. We spent the forenoon view.
ing the school exhibits. Every at.
ternoon we had for ourselves.
Wednesday morning we viewed
the stock exhibits. There were a
great many fine animals on exhi.
bition. This afternoon had the
largest crowd of the week. II was
a very nice day until towards ev-
ening when hard wind storm
came up, blowing the officers tent
over.
Thursday morning we went to
the agricultural exhibits, of which
there was a nice display.
Friday morning we went to the
machinery exhibits, and in the af.
ternoon saw auto, motorcycle and
horse races. In the evening we
went up town, taking in little OF
the sights of Huron, and then got
ON the train for home. We reach
ed Tyndall at nine O'Clock Satur.

We had q pleasant trip, and
wished more boys could 60 there
