ANOTHER INVENTOR
Alpha Boasts of Semi-War Invention
That May Prove Of Great Value.

William Aitkens and Charles Nc
Cord went 10 Chicago during the week
to confer with manufacturers In re-
gard 10 the spring wheel which Mr..
.McCord has invented. The wheel is
designed especially for aeroplanes and
is so contrived that much Of the wear
and tear due to the working of the
spring on the wheel is done away
with.
Those who have seen the drawings
OF the invention say that 1t promises
to be a big thing and that 1t may be
of great value in the aeroplane cam
paign which the U. S. government Is
now engaged upon.
The wheel is also designed for use
in automobiles where II relieves a
great deal OF the wear due to jolts.
Mr.. McCord's Alpha friends hope tC
see his invention adopted and placed
upon the market as they feel conf
dent that II will be big winner

ALL BIDS REJECTED.
Alpha village VIII Let Water ripe
bitches by Running Foot

The village council at It's last meet
ing decided 10 reject all OF the pids
that had been received for the digging
NJ ditches for water mains. The
hoard considered the proposals too
high in price to warrant II in accept
ing them.
Instead OF letting the Job TO one
contractor 1t will be let to individuals
by the running foot. and any one VINO
wishes may dig as many feet as ne
chooses. Many Of the miners working
at the local mines will take adyan-
tage of this opportunity to earn some
money on the side. The miners WORK
but eight hours per day and that gives
anyone so inclined several hours In
which to work at this digging each
evening,
The hoard announces that it will
nav 35 cents per running foot for the
work and will pay extra for the NIL
ing Of the ditch. This is good price
and a man ought to make good wages
at f. There are over 1000 feet OF
ditch to be dug. Work will commence
inst as soon as any OF the men wish
ing contracts show up. The same plan
was followed last year and 1t proved
OF advantage 20 both sides

ENGLISH TELLS
ABOUT ANOTHER
STARTLING GAIN
His Wife Also Regains Health
And Lost Weight After
Long Suffering.

Many readers OF this paper will re-
n,smber the statement Of J. d. Eng
lish OF $40 East Fourth street, FL Paso,
TEXAS, which appeared in a recent issue
in which Mr.. English tells OF gaining
more than twenty pounds in weight and
getting complete relief from serious
condition that had been pulling him
down for some three years, by the use
vi Tanlac.
The results Of Tanlac in the case OF
Afs. English says Mr. English, have
been just as remarkable and relates
the following story OF her case.
my wife has always been more or
less frail and delicate" said Mr.. Eng
lish, "and had suffered for ten years
weh stomach trouble and catarrh OF the
head. Goodness only knows how much
money have spent trying to get some
thing that would give her some relief
only to be disappointed. The slightest
change In the weather caused her to
take cold and during all the spring
months she suffered dreadfully from
this catarrh. Her nose and throat
clogged up so she could hardly breathe
for weeks and at times she would al
most 70 wild with headache. Most
everything she ate disagreed with her
and her food would sour and bloat her
up terrible and the pain was something
awful untii she. could get her stomach
empty.
"She had fallen off from one hundred
and fifteen pounds TO ninety five, but
honestly. she has gained ell she los,
back and more besides since she began
taking Tanlac. She can eat anything
now and nothing seems to hurt her In
the least She 10 also free from that
miserable catarrhal trouble and since
that left her she don't have any more
headaches. | never saw such a wonder
ful change in anybody. She don't look
like the same woman and all Of her

A short while ago the latter's little
bag with white streamer attached
fell on the Stork airdodrbme just after

sage "Bayolies was killed in action,

So it is a grievous loss to the Franco
American air service, as Baylies' record
for the rapidiy of his victories was
hardly surpassed by anyone. When
first met him on April he had three
boohes to his credit. BY June | his
score was eleven official and four 9th

Courage Was Lionlike.
To his courage. which his commander
described as lionlike. he joined judg-

tenant Fonck to call him one OF the
most promising pilots in the allied ar

was very difficult to persuade him to
talk about his own exploits. ] asked
him once whether he felt any fear while
