Gear Wheels Made Of Cotton.

Gears are now being made of or
binary cotton which outwear those
made from the finest steel. 1t seems
incredible, but it is true, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The very hardness of the metal
gears causes the teeth surfaces to
scrape over each other when they
mesh, producing hideous screeches and
groans. Everyone of these scrapings
means a certain amount of wear.
Teeth made out of compressed cot
ton yield. They are. therefore, noise
less. Compressed with the metal gears,
they are indestructible. To make
these fiber gears large cylinder built
up of cotton disks is compressed to hut
one-sixteenth of its former length!

Another proof of the earliness of
the tourist season is seen in the an
nouncement that the Y Atlantic Coast
Line will put the Pinellas Special, its
famous winter train to st. Petersburg,
in operation -on December 8, fully a
month in advance of the usual time in
former years.-St. Petersburg Times.
The Pinellas Special is a mighty
fine train the only fault to be found
with it is that it doesn't run through
the best section of the state, namely,
via Gainesville, 0cala and Leesburg.

The other counties in the state
should do as has Pinellas, buy their
own guns. That is the only way they
are going to get any guns at all, for
any purpose. The guns kept at Tai
lahassee would be of little use in case
of riot, but could be used where it
was known many days in advance
that the guard was to be called out to
protect a prisoner at trial. The
guns then would be mainly for effect
as the men who had never had any
guns to practice with would know
very little about handling the gov
ernor's guns-St. Petersburg Inde-

The people who try to justify
Cats in his threat to remove Judge
Jones of Escambia county because
one of the judges decisions didn't
suit the governor are simply sacri-

prejudices. Trying to bulldoze the
judiciary is one of the worst things
a governor can do.

How much Gov. Cats knows about
the law is shown in his assertion that
the secretary of the navy might soon
be expected to declare martial law In
Florida. The governor himself can
declare martial law in any locality
where conditions warrant such dec
laration, and the president can de-
clare martial law in the entire state,
but the secretary of the navy has no
such authority.

Death of ]. G. Vollenweider.

Williams Enterprise: On Thurs
day, June IA, at Hitchcock, S. D.,
occurred the death of John Godfrey
Vollenweider, aged "A years.
Death came at the home of his son,
Adolph, and was due mainly to old
age and a general breakdown.
Mr.. Vollenweider WIS born at AS
bourg, Switzerland, October %, 1912,
and came to America while still a
boy.
The family came to Williams from
Georgetown, Wis, in 1871, and for
about eleven years Mr.. Vollenweider
was engaged in the furniture bust
ness and as cabinet maker. His
business in Williams was destroyed
by fire. and he then moved to his
farm three miles south of town,
where his daughter, Mrs. Jim Cau-
die, still lives. His wife died there,
and he then broke up housekeeping.
and until his death has made his
home with his children. He was a
member of the I. @. O. F. lodge of
Williams and his brethren of the
order acted as pail bearers.
The body was brought here Satur-
day, accompanied by his son, and
short funeral services were held at
the Methodist church, conducted by
Rev. Carver, after which the remains
were laid to rest beside his wife in
the Williams cemetery.
He leaves two sons, Will and
Adolph of Hitchcock, S. D., and two
daughters, Mrs. John w. Coles OF
Webster City and Mrs. ]. Caudle Of
this vicinity, to mourn his death, be-
sides other relatives and numerous
old friends, whose sympathy goes
out to the bereaved family.

Back to Rochester.

Hiram Carey Of this city and his
daughter, Mrs. ]. w. Read, who re-
sides four miles south of kamrar,
left this noon for Rochester, Mimi,
where the latter goes for an eXamina-
ton by the doctors Mayo. She under
went an operation for cancer of the
jaw in April and at that time was
instructed by the specialists to re-
turn later for an examination. Mrs.
Reads twelve year old daughter,
Babe Read, accompanied her mother
and grandfather and while there will
undergo an operation for adenoids.
The child submitted to surgical work
of this nature when she was five
years old, but evidently the growth
has returned.
