Penus Grove Record for some months and
we are pleased to announce him as the
Manager of our news and job printing
department. Our business has grown
far beyond our ability to attend to the
various duties and We wish to announce
that any business done with Mr.. Powell
will meet with our approval. Amy III
tesy shown him in behalf OF the Record
will be greatly appreciated.
Some have the impression that they
cannot get printing done in Penns Grove,
not having observed the large cards and
circulars, the size of a newspaper page,
we have been printing by the thousands;
also programs with 20 pages, wedding
invitations, and commercial work of ev-
cry description, comparing favorably with
that produced in large city offices. Mr..
Powell is in charge of this department
and his ability is best told below by those
who have known him longest and best:

BAD FIRE AT ELLIS

A presto tank exploded at noon
yesterday in the Overland garage at
Ellis causing very destructive fire
which consumed several automobiles
and ruined the building. A new fire
engine belonging to the city of Ellis
was in the front end of the building
near a large door but the fire was so
hot and dangerous that it was inapos-
sible to get it out. Other hose was
secured and the fire was kept con-
fined in the one building The garage
was conducted by Fred Cross and his
loss is very heavy there being only a
small amount of insurance on his
property.

COMMENT
j. w. B.

I don't mind saying that 1 do not
like the way the draft law is working.
The law, as written, is intended to
give every young man who comes I'M
der it fair chance and it does, but
the game of chance which was play
ed when the numbers were drawn,
resulted in favor of1the idler as far
as this county is concerned. This town
is like all others. 1t has a bunch of
idlers laying around it who do not
seem to have anything to do and are
not worrying over it. Many of these
fellows were among those who regis
tered but so far not one of them has
been called upon to defend the flag.
Those who have gone are all indus
trious young men, the greater part
of them being farmers. 1t doesn't
seem like a square deal but how can
it be helped?
After all, can see that an indus
trious young man will be worth more
to the government than lazy idler.
According to reports from govern
ment sources the bean crop in the
United States will be much larger
than ever before The potato crop will
also be considerable larger than it was
last year. The price will likely get
down somewhere within the reach of
the common people if the government
will fix the price and keep the specu-
lators from running corner on them.

The Majestic's reputation. I have
a friend out in the country that has
a Majestic range and she says that
she couldn't do with out it because it
is so very handy. 1t has a large
warming oven which keeps the food
fresh and warm. 1t has a large re-
servoir which is very handy in case
of sickness. Some of the reservoirs
hold Is gallons of water. This range
will last for almost life time. 1t is
a very large stove and neatly fixed
and easy to keep clean. 1t has very
large oven which bakes quickly. The
ash pan is fitted in % good that ashes
will not fall out on the floor. This
range does not burn very much coal
so you save fuel and another advan-
tage is that there is rod under
the warming oven which can be used
to dry things on. So the Majestic
range has some advantages over 9TH
er ranges.

1 think that the reason the Maj
este bakes better is because the oven
is better lined and the circulation of
the heat around the oven. The reason
it lasts longer is because it is built of
stronger and better material than
others. 1t also has a larger reservoir
than other ranges. The reason that
it saves fuel is because the drafts are
arranged in such way as the fuel
don't burn away so quick and still
gives out the same heat

The Majestic is known as the range
with a reputation because so many
folks use it. 1t is very good heat
ing stove and holds heat long time.
You can beat this range with a ham
mer and jump upon the oven door
and it won't break at all, it will last
for a lifetime. Then your grand
children can use it, century's life and
then you can't kill it. This range is
made good. There is a rod across
the stove that you can dry your
clothes on after washing them.
Zelma Perry
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1917-10-04

The Majestic range bakes better
because it is evenly heated and the
fuel lasts longer simply because the
range is built better than any other
range. By keeping the stove hot you
will always have warm water to do
your work with. The Majestic range
is built of iron that will not break,
it has a good reservoir and is range
anyone would be proud to own.

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-sixteenth of
an inch thick, and bandages soaked In
starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board Is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked In
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg in a
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which 1t is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase of his GONZALES
cence; also he has TO suffer none OF
the Inconvenience of clutches, stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact IL
revealed by reason of a census taken
of the insane, feeble-minded, epHeptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio NJ. POllack, statistici-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April To- 1910, TO January j, 1917, was
11.S0 per cent The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was S1,I9l.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234055 insane persons in in
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that Of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that of the general pOpu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population increase was 1854 per
cent, as compared with percentage
of increase of insane in institutions OF
27.3S. The neighboring state of lndi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of aga and 27.44 re-
spectively.
