Weather Bureau
Its relation to clock makimg.
~

7 asst April the Westclox
L. weather bureau was estab-
lished, as cooperative station,
using instruments furnished by
the Government. The daily
readings are incorporated in a
monthly report sent to Spring
field.
Daily weather maps are re-
ceived from Chicago, also a
Geographic forecast. The fore
cast is printed on post cards and
mailed daily to business houses
between Marseillcs and Colona.
Forecast cards are displayed
in the factory, and weather flags
run up over the entrance.
The weather bureau is a de-
cidcd advantage to the territory
which it serves, and Of great val
uc in the manufacture of clocks.
The fine steel used in springs
and other important parts of
clock movements is particularly
susceptible to rust. Advance
knowledge of the weather allows
us to anticipate and correct
those conditions likely to- pro-
ducc rust.
Free trader-journal. (Ottawa, Ill.) 1916-1920, 1919-07-28

Recording humidity appara-
tus is installed in departments
most likely to be seriously affect
ed. Daily readings are taken
of the humidity throughout the
factory by means of hand IN
struments.
The importance of this service
can best be appreciated when
the effect of rust on such parts
as hairsprings and clock hands is
considered.
The establishment of this
bureau is just another indication
of the care and thoroughness
used in the manufacture of
Wcstclox.
The idea Of quality is
thoroughly impressed on every
one who has to do with the
manufacture of Wcstclox, and
every device or prccaution that
can be taken to make Westclox
better is quickly installed or
applied. This insistencc upon
quality is without doubt the
best explanation of the steady
though rapid growth Of the
/, clock factory.

PLANT MORE CHERRY TREES
Good Reasons for Urging Increased
Cultivation Of Useful and Pretty
Bearers Of Fruit.

Although in at least two states,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, there are more
than 100000 cherry trees and nearly
as many in several other states, the
commercial interests are relatively
small compared with several other
fruits in which the number of trees
is considerably less.
In the south the summers are too
long and hot, as a rule, for cherries
to do well, and they do their best at
the higher attitudes.
In their endurance Of low tempera-
lures sour cherries compare favorably
with apples. Sweet cherries are less
hardy than sour sorts. Their endur-
ance of cold corresponds more nearly
to that of the peach.
Cherries are sensitive to poorly
drained soil Clay soils, extremely
retentive of moisture, give the poorest
results, and the lighter, better drained
soils the best Soils that dry out ex-
cessively are also unsatisfactory. Mod
erately productive soils give better re-
suits than those which represent either
extreme in fertility. Cherries blossom
comparatively early, the sweet sorts
earlier in most cases than the Soul
varieties; therefore sites that are sub.
iect to spring frOsts during the usual
blossoming period should be avoided.

Many Factors in Tree Planting.

In places the trees along the road
side form screens so as to break up
the long stretches of views and allow
openings here and there which frame
and make more attractive the road
side scenery. Again, certain varieties
of trees are more suitable for highway
planting than others, according to the
use to which they will be put. The fac
tor of planting for the protection at.
forded the pavement through shade
during the hot summer months there
by adding many years to its life. and
the assistance given by the proper
planting of shrubs and trees in keeping
the drifting snow from the roadside
during the winter season should be
likewise considered.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous. irrita-
bic and may be Respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do fol
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

streets means keeping it on business

business property as much as it does
residence property. The sporadic

also disintegrates business values.
