TIPPED WITH GOLD

Few persons who have seen the WASH
ington monument, even those who have
lived within sight of it all their lives,
have noticed that the apex of the mon-
ument is surrounded with parallel
bands. Such is the fact, however; and
moreover, the bands are studded with
golden points. The bands are made of
gold-plated iron a foot wide, and the
points are spaced foot from one an
other.
For moment in each sunny day of
the first week of the new year the
golden fillet that binds the brow Of
the Washington monument is visible to
human eyes. Then, the angle of Incl
dence of the suns rays is such that
they are reflected downward to the
windows of the buildings north and
west of the monument, and the cool,
gray surface is seen to be marked with
eleven shining lines of gold.
Theoretically, similar effect could
obtained from some point of observa-
tion at each moment when the sun s
rays are intercepted by the sloping top
of the monument, but only an airship
could attain the necessary vantage
point.
To protect the monument from light
ming the men of science agreed on a
number of iron bands, heavily galvan-
lied and gold-plated to prevent rusting,
The bands are connected with the alum
mum point of the monument and the
framework of the elevator, and at the
base iron cables lead the electricity
into deep well, where it harmlessly
| expends it's force. The protection has
proved to be perfect.-Youth' Com
panion.

COAST GUARDS SAVED DEER

Humanitarian activities of the coast
guard extend to the saving of wild ami
NAL life. A deer chased by dogs at.
tempted to cross the ice, crashed In,
was rescued, nearly done for, by the
coast guard crew of the station at
Quonochotaug, R. l.; was taken into the
station boat and thence to the station;
was worked over until it revived, and
then was set at liberty.
The tale comes in the report of the
keeper of the station. The incident
happened on the morning of January 3,
when, about ten O'Clock, the station
crew sighted the deer, pursued by dogs,
crossing a marsh about half mile
away. The hunted animal attempted
to cross pond on thin and rotten ice.
Tt was observed to fall through, and
try in vain TO extricate itself.
Three surfmen launched small skin
and reached the deer after an hours
work in breaking through the ice. The
deer was nearly dead from its struggle
in the icy water. M

GET HER A MOTOR CAR

Nowadays you do not need to feel
shut off from the world a good share
of the time, or be denied the pleasure
of associating with your friends just
because they live few miles away.
An automobile brings freedom from the
loneliness and isolation which long have
been the lot of the average farmer.
When you wish to go to town in the
morning you can get up at your usual
hour, do your chores at the usual time,
and still get there as early as you used
to when you had to make an extra
early start with the horses. You can
jump into the machine at any time dur
ing the day and get to town and back
In fraction of the time it used to
take.
In the evening few minutes driv.
will take you to friends house for a
visit, to a social, meeting you wish to
attend, or picture show in town.
You can take in the circus, the cour-
ty fair, and special holiday attractions,
ard enjoy yourself more because you
have time to see everything and don t
have to think about long wearying
drive home
On Sundays the ride to church is all
the more enjoyable, and you can spend
the afternoon with friends at a dis
tance, whom otherwise you might sell
dom see. And best of all, you can do
all these things without taking your
horses away from their work in tina
day time or from the rest they need to
keep them in good condition.
In winter you need no longer dread
the trips to town with your horses-the
long drives with your fingers so cold
you scarcely can hold the lines as the
horses pick their way slowly over the
rutty, frozen roads-every trip real
hardship. In your automobile you spin
along at comfortable speed, snuggly
protected from the snow and biting
wind.
Nearly all the year car proves a
big time saver in farm work, and gives
you lot of pleasure and recreation
which, otherwise, you would not have.
Farm women of today have many ad-
vantages over the farm women of earli-
er generations. The sewing machine,
washing machine and other mechanical
devices have made their work lighter;
the telephone and rural free delivery
have made it easier to keep in touch
with ne ghbors and with the outside
world But talking with friend over
tho telephone is not the same as visit
al the friends house.

Wait Until It Is Too Late
The appalling death-rate from kidney
diseases is due in most cases to the fact
tnat the little kidney troubles are US
uslly neglected until they become se7i-
Gus The slight symptoms often give
place to chroni.' disorders and the suf.
ferer nay slip gradually into some
serious form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidneys &C.
eretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural in appearance, do not de-
lay. Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thousar.
people have recommended them.
Here is one of many cases in this

rand, she doesn t have to wait the con-
venience of work in the field to get a
horse. With an automobile she can go
when it is most convenient to get away
from her own duties, and it does not
disturb the regular farm work. And
then, too, in most cases she can go and
get back in the time it would take to
go one way with horse.
In many other ways a woman s work
is more trying than the mans. The
man ON the farm works hard, but ne
has some advantages. One day he is
working in this field, another in that,
and now and then he spends some time
in the barn or the workshop. And
more than likely he makes occasional
trips to town. Unless woman has
some convenient means of getting about
she is tied down to routine duties in the
house. Getting three meals day for
healthy eaters is no small task in itself,
but it is small part of the work that
the farmers wife must do. She has
her house to keep in order, her sewing
to do, canning and drying fruits and
vegetables, and very often she looks
after the poultry and the milk. In ad-
dition to all this she probably has the
cares of a family of little ones.
Getting away from this routine now
and then does her world of good. She
comes back to her duties refreshed and
invigorated. She gets more work done
in shorter time, and home cares and
worries have no chance to weigh on her
mind and Lealth.
Considered from the standpoint of its
benefit to the health and happiness Of
the womenfolk alone, an automobile
makes an investment that pays big divi,
dends. Progressive farmers realize this;
that is why the automobile is doing so
much to brighten and broaden the lives
Of farm women all over the country
today.

SHOCK
Causes Child's Death; Fell
Into Boiling Water
John Ronald Garrad Expires Monday
Evening"; Funeral To Be Held
Wednesday

The burns sustained by John Ron
aid, the 2-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dale Garrad, when he was scalded ac.
cidentally Monday morning caused
the child's death at :55 Monday
night. The child was two years and
seven months old and was an only
child. He is survived by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Dale Garrad of the old
Delaware road. The funeral at the
late home Wednesday morning at
1890 o'clock, Rev. o. e. Ford ofiiciat-
ing.
The mother of the little boy had
placed basin of boiling water on
the floor. Her son, without noticing
the same, had backed into it. His
back was badly burned. 1t is thought
that the shock, more than anything
else, caused his demise.

Doup presented pitiable appear

was wearing a straw hat with a hole
in it and appeared very disheveled
When asked to give his age, he re-
piled that he was one year old. Mon.
day, he declared he was five years of
age. He seemed to labor under the
impression that some French soldiers

something about having fought In the

ATTENTION FARMERS

AS conditions point to continued
high prices for wheat again this year,
it might be good idea for farmers
to SOW spring wheat this Year instead
of oats, as 1t would likely prove a
more profitable crop.
This is being done to some extent
in other sections of the state with
good results.
If any farmers decide to try it out,
we will be in position to furnish good,
clean spring wheat for seed at reas.
enable price, based on the cost Of
spring wheat delivered. We will also
be in position to buy your crop when
you get ready to sell, and will pay the
same price as for soft winter, if it is
good, clean wheat
We will be glad to talk over the
matter with any farmer who is inter-
ested.

RESOLUTION WORTHY
OF GREAT PRAISE
Lock Centerburg Road Peti-
tion Rejected; Barber
Renamed Trustee

John c. Earlywine, E. NJ Ramey
and Joseph R. Wilson are deserving
of the greatest credit for their work
in attempting to extend as far as pos
sible the Wooster highway.
Meeting in regular session Monday,
these commissioners passed resolu-
tion declaring that they stand ready
to meet the state, dollar for dollar,
up to 100000, in extending the Woos-
ter road toward Amity.
This fund will be provided during
the year of 1917, so if any state aid
can be obtained, it means an exten-
sion Of the highway. In the past, the
commissioners have met the state at
ratio of about to 1. 1t is not con
sidered likely that more than $4,000
can be obtained from the state.
The commissioners were forced to
reject the petition for the Lock-Cen-
terburg road improvement on account
of the fact that no 81 per cent of the
property-owners were represented on
the same
The following were named by the
commissioners on the burial of old
soldiers commission:
Berlin-B. B. Williams.
Jefferson-A. H. McClurg.
Morris-W. H. Bricker.
Union-John Robinson and Henry
Butts.
First Ward-R. H. Hyatt and G. r.

Hillar-M. A. Hunt.
This fills all vacancies on the COM
mission.
c. M. Barber was re-appointed by
the commissioners as trustee OF
the Children's Home.
No contracts were let.
