fine. The weather here is fine al
though it is quite muddy as they had
a rain here shortly before our arrival.
This sure is a different country than

rescue and am sure glad that got
the chance to make this trip, as I've
certainly seen a great deal since leav-

self lucky. Everyone is happy here
nowadays, the way things are turning

Pool Hall Habitue

the head table dropped his cue and
darted through the rear door. disappear

floor.
The suspicious officers Immediately
gave chase. They looked around, and
finally located a querulous conversation
eminating from a shack not far distant.
They looked in. A one-eyed man. much
the worse for wear, was sitting on a
Tickety bed holding a protesting urchin
on his knee.
"Seen anybody passing here lately?"
one Of the officers asked.
Nope, no one amt been around for
the last coupla hours" the one-eyed

his captive violently up and down.
Put me down. you big stiff, | never

demanded, attempting to wriggle off the
strangers knee. The officers took the
baby p%acifier back to the pool hall, and
ssoertained that he had been playing
there Immediately prior to the announce
ment that the law was coming. They
searched him, but found nothing TO war
rant an arrest, so admonisfed him to
fade away as fast as he had gone from

REV. PRoBsT LEAVES

Rev. Probst, of the Zion Lutheran
church, has been called to Watertown,
Wis, where he has accepted position
as teacher in the college located there,
and met with his congregation for the
last time at farewell reception in
the church parlors on Sunday evening.
The program, which was arranged by
Rev. Probst, was largely musical, Sc.
lections by the Junior choir, duet by
Louise Simsen and Fred Krug, Jr.,
duet by the Misses Rosa and Laura
Olbrich, readings by Mr.. and Mrs.
Geerards and son Ralph. The farewell
address was delivered by Rev. Soil of
Yakima. Mr.. Struve also gave an ad-
dress. Following the program a ban
quet was served under the direction of
Mrs. A. C. Boldt. Rev. Probst has
been. well liked by his congregation
and it is with deepest regret that
they see him leave. They expect a
new pastor in the near future. >.

NEW MIRACLES OF STEEL.
What the Laboratory Has Done For the
Automobile Maker.

What the Laboratory Has Done FOR tne
Automobile Maker.
Writers ut historical fiction perpet-
uate the notion that the art Of the
old armorer has persisted. And yet In
cars sold for only few hundred dol
lars axles and crank shafts are to be
found infinitely superior in texture TO
the weapons of famous swordsmiths.
The tales of supple yet tough blades
that could be bent into circles without
swapping are eclipsed in the less art
fully phrased reports Of tests conduct
ed with crank shaft steel in the metal
lurgical laboratory Of any large auto
mobile factory.
Could the old swords be twisted
through six complete turns before they
broke? An axle shaft can be so twist
ed. What was the tensile strength OF
the mace that Godfrey of Bouillon or
Richard of the Lion Heart welded?
How far, in other words, could 1t have
been stretched lengthwise before 1t
parted? No one knows.
But the automobile metallurgist Is
sure that 1t was not the equal In that
respect of q modern valve stem-a
slim little member that can be extend
ed half its length in testing machine
before It snaps in two.
AS soon as the metallurgist discover
ed that the properties Of steel could be
subtly changed by the addition of very
small quantities of such elements as
tungsten or vanadium-as soon, in 9TH
er words, as the problem of making
the automobile durable and safe had
been solved by research-the designer
ventured to consider the economics OF
motoring. Heavy automobiles endure,
but they consume much fuel, and they
wear out expensive tires very rapidly.
Light automobiles are more cheaply
maintained. And so new demands
were made on the laboratory In the
effort to save weight without sacrific-
ing strength or safety.
Is a gear required with teeth on the
outside as hard as tool steel and yet
with a core that shall be soft and
tough, q gear that shall not weigh
more than a given number Of ounces!
The metallurgist is asked not only to
discover the formula for steel out OF
which part can be made aud which
must be examined with the microscope
to detect the wear to which 1t has
been subjected after having run 10000
miles, but also to indicate the methods
that must be followed by the furnace
men in heat treating the metal
Without the laboratory the designer
would be helpless. There would be
little progress from year to year.-Wal-
demar Kaempffert in Harpers Maya

Seattle Office, 1919 First Ave.

We have over 5000 acres under
lease in what we consider the best To-
cations in the Rattlesnake Oil fields.
No matter where oil may be found
we will be in on the ground floor with
leases in close proximity, and some, If
not all of our leases will Immediately
become very valuable.
We are now making arrangements
to have at least one, and probably
several, large drilling rigs installed
on our leases. We predict that inside
of six months more than a dozen
rigs will be in operation in the field.
That means that someone will find
the oil. When that happens the great
est boom ever Lnown in tbs North
west will be right here in Benton
county and every oil lease and every
share of oil stock will be in demand
at high prices.
Our shares are selling at 25c each,
par value, $1.00. After Saturday
night, March End, our stock will be adj
vanced to SO cents per share. Stock
in another company, with no better
prospects than ours, is selling readily
in. Spokane at $1.Q0 and even this
will look cheap inside the next six
months.
We would like to have more Ben
ton county people get some OF our
stock while the price is low and this
week is their last chance. You surely
will regret it later if you do not buy
now.
Every dollar received from the sale
of stock will go into our treasury and
be used to the best possible advan-
tage. Your only risk lies in the chance
that no oil will be located anywhere
in the field. When the great flows OF
gas are considered, this chance seems
very remote. And the gas itself has
great commercial possibilities.
Positively no sales will be made at
less than SOC after Saturday night,
March End.

er-Puget Sound Natural Gas Co., 1873

~clearinu tho Plate.n

Some gray headed men who grew up
in New England remember the custom
that prevailed in many families of max.
ing a boy or girl ''clear the plate" OF
eat what was left at another meal be.
fore getting anything else. That was
not irrational or cruel. The child was
permitted to help himself or herself.
If too much was taken the discipline OF
having to. eat it sooner or later was
wholesomely educative. We may get
back to it. Waste is never justified In
prosperous families or other families
1t is big element in giving children
an utterly false idea Of what makes
prosperity, at least in binding young.

all accumulation is based.-Brooklyn
