Use the Mind ProperJv

Some people have to be entertained
all the time. They must have some
body to put interest into life for them.
Hours spent alone are eternities. Wise
folks keep quiet about this. Only the
rash confess to the world how empty
their souls really are. They do It be-
cause they have no idea what 1t all
mems. There will need to be eternal
vaudeville Or some other show to make
them at all comfortable. And the
hours spent add nothing to their per-
sonal growth. It's not what enters the
ears that adds to life. That may have
little or no meaning. It's what the
mind appropriates and remakes with.
in itself that adds to life. And It's the
ability to keep the mind constantly
employed that makes the hours fly.
It's the same ability to use the mind
that will fill eternity with pleasure.

MuItipIies Capacity of Phone Wires.

"uit'P'es SapacIty OF Phone Wires.
An achievement more extraordinary
by far than making two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before, is
the sending for five telephone CONVEX
sations simultaneously over one pair
of wires where but one conversation
could travel before, says Popular Me-
chnnics Magazine. The new invention
also makes it possible to send 40 tele-
graph messages, simultaneously over
one pair Of wires, or they can be used
in part for telephoning and in part
for telegraphing. Ten conversations
can be carried on over two pairs of
wires which formerly could be used
for maximum of three conversations
by means of the so-caIled phantom
circuit" Tests covering several weeks
have been made of the system on a
MISUNDERSTANDING line and have
been pronounced successful in every
way.

BRIDGE ACROSS BRusHY
is FINALLY ERECTED

"A bridge across Brushy at Prosper
ity has just been completed and was
submitted Thursday of this week to
the officials for acceptance. 1t is an
iron bridge built by the Champion
Bridge company for S1ST5. This time,
however, the construction was done
under the constant supervision of an
honest and competent man. James
Norton. He required the company to
go to a solid foundation with the piers.
Finding one foundation deeper than
they had guessed 1t would be, and with
the inspector standing immovable on
the PROPOSITION of going deep enough
to get a solid foundation, the COM
pany's representative induced the Of
ficials TO pay extra for some of the eN-
cavation and concrete.
The bridge says about four inches
at the center, due to the false work
letting down slightly during the con-
struction, but this probably does not
effect the bridge materially. S
The cor tract called for the compile
ton of this bridge July 18th of last
year, and II has been necessary to
spend money on the old one in the
meantime The new bridge will not be
ready for use until fills are made at
each end. This is a good time to make
the fills. DO 1t now"
