the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of Liberty Bond is this:
Hold the bond you bought during the
war; II is as safe and sound as the
United States government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
lew rate as you can afford, If you
hold them to maturity you are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value,
You will also receive good interest on
your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and
buy more.

Really Wonderful Machine

Samuel Slocum of Connecticut in.
vented the first pin-sticking machine
Doctor Howe utilized it in his factory
IN lS4l. This machine is almost I'M.
man in its workings. One workman
feeds it with pins and another feeds
II with papers. The first part of this
machine is box about ~ inches
long by 6 inches broad and 4 inches
deep; the bottom is made of
small square steel bars, sufficiently
VIDE apart to let the shank of the
Pin fall through, but not the heads
and they are just as thick as the space
between the paDered pins. The lower
part OF the bottom of the box is made
TO detach itself as soon as the row
OF pins is complete, and row after
row at regular intervals is received
and passed down corresponding set
OF grooves, until they reach the paper.
Which is punched into regular folds
ana pierced to receive the pins, which
come exactly at their places and are
pressed into them.

Varied Uses of coconuts.

Coconuts have long been considered
one of the most valuable products of
the tropics. The palm grows wild and
is utilized in many ways by the ma

or cooked, forms an important article
of food and the liquid contained in
the center of the nut most refresh

flower buds is also used as drink

of the nut is used for fuel and it's

brushes; the shell of the nut is used
for fuel, for drinking cups and various
household utensils; the leaves and the
wood of the palm are utilized for mats,
matching and timber for huts.

Mans Ever-FaithfuI Friend

No final estimate of a man in his
community can be made till we are
told what children and the dogs
thought about him. The only trouble
is that dogs are likely to be too fondly
indulgent. They will follow the tramp
as soon as the millionaire, the com
moner as readily as royalty. They
look into mans eyes, not into his
pockets If they find kindness in his
aspect they do not care about his
purse. They will starve and suffer
with him and adventure anywhere
When he fails they have no condemna-
ton. Their love once placed is un-
changing.-Exchange

Hula dancing long had its estab-

pure sentiment and lofty purposes by
this dancing. The dancers We're highly

First Needles Primitive.

The earliest needles known in his
tory did not have eyes, but were like
avis and We're used for making holes
in skins, through which long roots of
plants or leather thongs were passed
and then tied. Later a hole was
bored through one end of the stone
or bronze needle, through which the
root or leather was passed. and thus
dragged through the hides as punched.
Such needles are found in the remains
of the stone age. Bone needles with
eyes are found in the reindeer caves
of France and lake dwellings of CEN
trail Europe

Most Resistant of Woods.

The redwood is one of the most re-
sistant of woods against fires. 1t is
hard to ignite and slow to burn and
flres are easily eNtinguished. The
flre-resistant quality of redwood was
well shown at the time of the great
San Francisco fire in 1906, when the
burned district was fringed with
houses built with redwood. which re-
sisted the flames until they could be
controlled. Redwood is light, but
relative to its weight it is one of the
strongest woods known. 1t is not es-
pecially elastic and consequently is
not extensively used for structural
purposes where timbers are subject
to heavy loads. The wood is suffi-
GENTLY strong and stiff, however, for
general house construction purposes,
and, in addition, is light and durable
These properties. as we'll as its abil-
ity to keep its shape. make redwood
especially valuable for use in the
construction of poultry yard appli-
ances, which must resist rot and keep
tight In all kinds of weather.
