Brakes Lock

The owner who is not vigilant and
neglects the parts he does not see or
which do not give trouble usually
finds, some time, that upon starting
one of the wheels becomes locked,
even though the brake pedal and lever
are free. This is due to the fact that
there is SO much play in the brake
linkage that when the hand brake
lever is released it merely takes up
the play. leaving the unlubricated
mechanism set in holding position.
This happened recently, and a ham,
mer had to be used to loosen the
brake mechanism.

HAS GOOD PATENT,

John Miller Of this village has re-
Gently invented and applied for a
patent for a grain door for box cars
that the sale of which will net him
a few thousand dollors. He has al
ready been offered $500 from the
Great Northern, but has decided to
investigate a little further before let
ting it go. The door is a stationary
affair and will save the railroad
thousands of dollars worth of lumber
each year. The door is arraned with
three compartments or smaller doors
any one of which can be opened at a
time or all at once. The Great
Northern seems anxious to get hold
of MI. Miller's patent so it would
seem that the invention is pactical
and worth money. Here's hoping MI.
Miller gets a nice fat sum for his
door.-Calvin Times.

REPAIRS NEARLY COMPLETE.

Work is fast nearing completion on
the auditorium. On the first floor in
the front part of the building. the
rooms for the public library and the
Langdon commercial club are now al.
most ready for occupancy. The Lang
don commercial club will occupy the
front room to the west side of the
house, and it will, no doubt, fill the
bill, for the commercial club has long
been waiting for a suitable palce for
them to hold their meeting. To the
other side of the hall is the room that
is to be used for a public library.
1t has been thoroughly remodeled and
now gives. the appearance of a first
class place for a library, with both a
sufficient amount of light and ample
space for the reading public, which
have long been brain ticklers of those
in charge.
On the second floor the carpenters
and decorators are fast drawing to a
close work on the dance hall and lodge
rooms. Langdon has long been in
need of a larger and better ventilated
hall and this one when finished, will
surely give to the public all that is
wanted in this line. 1t is expected
that this will, be ready for use on
the 18th of this month.
The seats of the main hall have all
been repalced and this Together with
the stage will have the chief center
of the contractors attention and COM
pletion will be brought about as soon
as possible and not later than about
the 18th of next month.
