Measuring Hiah Temperature.

Tin, which meltS at about $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit, has been applied to
the measurement of high temperatures
in the same way that mercury, melt
ing at SO degrees below zero, is used
for measuring ordinary atmosphere
temperatures. Instead of being placed
in glass bulb with closed tube, says
the Nebraska State Journal, the melted
tin is contained in a graphite bulb hav-
ing an open tube, and readings are
made by lowering into the tube a
plunger of a metal with high melting
point. When the plunger touches the
tin, an electric circuit is closed Civ
ing bell or other signal, the position
of the plunger showing the tempera
ture. This new form of promoter
may be used in either of two ways
% to give the temperature at any
time by sliding down the pointer until
the electric signal is set Off or (2)
to announce when any predetermined
temperature is reached by setting the
pointer at the proper number of de-
grees on the scale. AS the melted tin,
like melted mercury, is found to ex.
pand ut very even rate, the indica'
tons are held to be notably accurate

RECORD IMPROVEMENTS
ABOUT COMPLETED

HIGH. Buckner, of the Mergenthaler
Linotype Company, San Francisco,
arrived in Phoebe yesterday morning
for the purpose of putting the Rec
ord's Linotype in first class shape.
During the last two months the
Record office has been completely
overhauled. The old engine that ran
occasionally was thrown out and
new power plant was put in. A larger
job press with modern equipment
took the place of the small machine
and numerous improvements have
been made in the composing room.
The Record is now preparing to
turn out all kinds of printing and
do it just as nice as the big shops in
the city. Also, we are now in a posi-
ton to get out work on time. 1t has
taken more than two months time
and lot of money to put the office
in shape to turn out work. We hope
to receive the patronage of the local
mine owners and others.

POTATOES GALORE AND

On trip to Eagle Valley Sunday

three cellars that contained probably
20 tons of fine potatoes. This rep

these potatoes told the Record that
they would be glad TO take rs cents
per hundred for what they might
have on hand. Many of the farmers
in the Eagle Valley section will begin
feeding the spuds to the stock this

I HOW ONE SHOULD USE MONEY
Worth of Pennies, Eickels and Dimes
First Value Wise Man Can
Place on Wealth.

"Any man, in order to achieve real
success, must have the right ideas
about money. If he hasn't the right
ideas about money, he is not solid in
character, observes a writer in the
American Magazine. A man may easily
be happy, successful and highly re-
garded on $500 dollars or less a year !;
but, If he is, it is because he knows
how to handle those 81 800, and real
ICES the power that is in each of those
Sl,S0O, and keeps in sight the fact that
II takes 100 cents OF 20 nickels, or 10
dimes, to make each one of those ST.
800.
ION the other hand. a man may
have an annual income of $4,000 and
be neither successful nor happy nor
highly regarded. If this is true of him,
it is because he has not the right ideas
about money.
Here is the thing that applies to my
experience and to every mans: Money
is the symbol Of worth and power, if
your money is handled correctly. If
you regard money as a constructive
thing, something to he used beneficial
ly for yourself, your family and your
community, something with which to
build up and produce improvements,
you are on solid ground; nothing can
shake you, nothing, outside of earth
quakes and fires, can ruin you finan-
cially. Let me put it this way: The
use Il man makes of his money after
he has got his hands on it is the meas
ure of his worth"
