Where Candles Are Used

A minute news item to the eHec, ,...
firm Of manufacturers had purcb.s
ed more than 100 acres of land in -.
southwest OF England for the es,.S
lishment Of candle factory to enplov
about 5000 hands, suggested foroo.
ten and little-known industry.
Ii appeared, on further inyes,i,o
ton, that the British candle suprena,v
was being endangered by Continental
competition, and the new move is =,
effort to insist that Britain rule IN,
wlcks.
Not having used a candle FOR {,
long that one doesn't remcmber wb,,
it looks like, it comes, therefore Wit,
profound establishment to learn thu,
Britain in 1919 exported no less tina,
26,4OO,OOO pounds OF candles, OF
total value Of 100000, or about d
cents pound.
Where, you ask, is there any use FOR
26, 100000 pounds of candles? Well
France took great quantities, in fact
France took British candles excep,
when Belgium or Holland slipped in
and grabbed an order away from III.
British soap people. Great cargoe.
came across the water to North
America, and over other seas to Africa
The candle business is quite thing.
What impresses the authorities most
is that during November and Decem.
Der Of last year the monthly exports
were 100000, or at the rate of Co..
100000 pounds year, a monthly value
Of more than Sl,OOO,OOO Now the
candlemakers have visions of 1920
production OF 24O,OOO,OOO pounds. No
home, say the candle manufacturers,
shall be without candle.
Britain has held this industry for
half century. In 1905 her export We
100000 pounds, total never since
reached, although, as stated, it is ey-
pected to surpass it five OF six times
this year. But in those days candle,
only brought 8 cents a pound, and the
total value Of the exports was only
100000.
Even the candle has gone up.

His Real Title To Fame.

A motor cyclist, says the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, passing through Bos-
cawen, New Hampshire, happened to
puncture tire in front of the Daniel
Webster homestead. An elderly ma
tive watched the repair operations, and
when the job was finished asked the
cyclist if he cared to see the Webster
home.
"What Webster ?" queried the trav-
eier.
The old villager looked somewha,
surprised, but answered with apparen,
pride:
"DanI."
"Who was hep" questioned the mo-
torist seriously.
The old man turned on him in out
ragged pride:
"You don't know who Dan'l Web
ster was? Why, Dan'l Webster was"-
he paused with contempt on his lips,
almost unable to speak-"why Dan'l
Webster used to be one of our select
menI"

Wicked Hagerstown.

The November term Of court open
ed yesterday with Judge Wagaman on
the bench. In his charge to the grand
jury, Judge Wagaman made it plain
that he wanted the grand jury to par
ticularly investigate two things, viz:
the sale of liquor in Hagerstown and
Washington county and the use OF
houses and automobiles and other We
hicles for prostitution purposes. The
last Legislature, he said, passed law
carrying severe penalties to own a
building, house or vehicle and having
reasonable knowledge of their use for
the purpose mentioned. The fine is
500 or Imprisonment, with no discre-
ton of the court, in case guilt is es-
tablished. He also called attention TO
the large number OF divorces which
the court has had TO pass upon recent
ly. He said in the time he has been
on the bench, not quite year, that at
lease 50 per cent Of the divorces have
been granted because the husbands
frequented houses of prostitution and
not infrequently have the parties open
~ and brazenly admitted to it. Now
$500 fine awaits such persons. An
other matter spoken of by Judge Wag-
aman, and TO which he called the atten-
ton OF the grand jury, was that it has
been decreed by vote OF the people
that they do not want intoxicating
liquor sold in the confines of the coun-
try and there now is feeling since the
Federal statute on liquor that the
State laws are Of no use. He said he
was not passing on the matter now but
would not say that il is the duty OF the
grand jury he was addressing to indic'
under the State laws for any violations
of Its liquor laws. While Judge Wag.
| aman said there have been rumors oil
\ numerous sales of intoxicants, bu
whether all Of the charges could be
fully sustained he did not know. He
did not know Of his persona
knowledge that there have beer
brought here and dispensed consider
able quantities Of intoxicating oever
lagos. Concluded Judge Wagaman: 81
10 q question upon which the peopl,
have spoken by their vote and thei
will has been that they do not want il
land would ask this body to indict sucl
dispensers as it may And and that tn
eases will then be dealt with in thi
court. --Hagerspwn Herald.

WHEN AUTUMN COMES

Autumn brings with it a lot of tasks
that belongs peculiarly to the fall of

that comes simply because it's Autumn

Some Of these tasks come because
Winter is following along on the heels

made before the icy blasts come, for
the shut-in days and the long nights
OF the winter season.
Autumn is the time to get every
thing snug-to replace all broken
window panes, to put back into place
the cellar windows, to get the winters
fuel supply housed in a good, dry
place il that has not already been
taken care of earlier in the season.
When the evenings begin to length

ON THE JOB
EVERY DAY
Red BloOded Men and Women Are
Seldom Sick.
WATCH YOUR BLOOD CONDITION
Ii You Look Pale, Feel Gloomy and
Rundown Take repto- Mangan
and Build Tn.

You see men and women who are
never sick. They work hard, look ro-
bust, eat heartily and enjoy life. They
have. plenty of rich, red blood. That
is why they are never ill.
People who try to get along with
weak, impoverished blood always have
struggle. They go from one sick
ness to another. Children the same
way.
If you keep your blood rich and red
you'll enjoy full vigor. Disease has
little chance to develop in healthy
blood: AS soon as you feel rundown
take epto-Mangan for awhile. 1t will
feed your blood with the ingredients
needed to create a good supply of red
corpuscles.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both LIQUID
and tablet form. Take either kind YOU
prefer. They are alike in medicinal
value. But be sure YOU get the
genuine Pepto-Mangan - "Gude's. :"

HOLSTERS Decline to Reside on Pacific
Coast
Disease Prevention


Coast.
For some strange and unfathomable
reason nature overlooked an important
item when she was engaged in the
work Of constructing the Pacific Coast.
Possibly the Atlantic Coast was her
first-born, which would naturally ex-
plain her fondness for that side OF
the country in preference to the other
side. At any rate, it is a well-known
fact that she entirely omitted putting
Holsters in the waters that purr against
the coasts of California, Oregon and
Washington.
Any New Englander or New Yorker
would deem that sufficient excuse to
remain forever to the eastward Of the
Rockies.
Pacific Coast folks calmly dismiss the
slight with a shrug, declaring they
consider such ugly, fshy food inferior
to golden-hued oranges and luscious
peaches-to say nothing of raisin cen
coctionS.
The Hon. Hugh Mccormick Smith,
Commissioner of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, is a gentleman Of
just and kindly instincts. AS soon as
he learned of the shabby treatment
nature had accorded the western side
of the country, he Immediately took
the matter in personal charge, deter
mined to rectify the lobster lopsidedness
under which the country had been
worrying along for thousands of
years. Accordingly DR.. Smith went
up to Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where
Holsters are plentiful, and selected g.
600 handsome Holsters, equally divided
as to sex, and shipped them across the
continent in private car, liberating
them at Ducpabush, Washington;
Yaquina Bay, Oregon, and on the Cali
fornia Coast.
In their tedious journey across the
country they were given every possible
consideration, bling frequently fed on
dainty bits of fresh herring and their
thlrsts slaked from barrels OF salt water
taken along in the private car for that
purpose. DR.. Smith had further pro-
vided them with all the comforts of
home by placing them in specially con-
structed boxes with ice compartments
and plenty Of seaweed on which to
comfortably stretch their travel-wearied
oodies. Absolutely no detail was over
looked by the governmental head of the
Bureau of Fisheries.
UP to the time of dumping these g.
600 lady and gentleman Holsters into
the Pacific, Commissioner Smiths
scheme to improve on nature was
brilliant success, everything having
gone perfectly lovely. But from that
time on his carefully laid plans went
away because of the Holsters going as
tray. Those tcndcrly-handled 5000
lobster couples either did not take
shine to the Pacific Coast or we're
stricken with inconsistencies. They
were never seen again. Possibly they
are laboriously working their wa,

RECITAL HAS FULL HOUSE

The inclement weather did not in
terfere with the crowd that came out
to hear the song recital last Sunday
afternoon. The opera house was
we'll filed. Had the rain and mud
not made the roads. impossible,
standing room would also have been
taken.
Miss Esther Pearson made a fine
appearance on the stage. Her voice
surpassed all expectations. The pro-
gram was varied and each selection
deserves special mention. The Scan
dinavian Folk songs were particular
ly well received as were also "The
Cuck-Coo Clock" by Schaefer and
birthday Song" by Mac Hayden.
This musical treat will long linger in
the memory of all who were fortunate
in being able to be present. The cor
net solo by Clarence Gronoski was
we'll rendered and showed him an ex-
pert on that instrument. The piano
solo by Miss Florence Carlson was
splendid. She was obliged to re-
spond to encore. Miss Amy Fridlund
proved an accompanist of natural
talent and great ability. The Fidelis
Society, under whose auspices the
musical was given wish in this way
to express their appreciation to all
who cooperated in making the con-
cert success.

NEW MAGNET INN
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Carpenters and painters are busy
remodeling Peterson Bros building
on Fifth Street, between the Masonic
Temple and the Farmers State Bank.
The New Magnet Inn will be con-
Quoted as a first class refreshment
parlor, serving lunches, ice cream
and soft drinks, specializing in home
baking, tasty lunches, and fancy ice
cream sundaes.
The front part of the building will
be made into one room which will
contain the soda fountain, candy and
cigars, etc. Back Of that will be the
dining room and kitchen. A large
screened-in porch is being built on
the south SIDE. This will be the
main serving room and will accom-
odate about so people.
An addition has been built in the
rear and a bathroom installed on the
second floor.
The grounds will be beautified
with flowers and shrubbery, and
when all plans are completed the
New Magnet Inn will no doubt be
one of the most attractive business
places in the city.

p. p. Mail from MINNEAPOLIS.

A new department recently organiz-
ed in the Minneapolis Post Office has
made possible a greatly improved mail
service between Minneapolis and Will
mar, j., the news given in a letter re-
ceived from Minneapolis postmasters.
The Post Office Department has re-
Gently given Minneapolis additional
equipment and additional clerical as
sistance for the purpose of installing
a direct distribution of parcel post to
the most important towns of Minneso-
ia, North and South Dakota and Mon
tana.
+ The basement of the Minneapolis
Post Office has been remodelled and
10000 square feet of floor space
equipped with the latest type of pouch
and sack racks, one section of which
has been assigned to Willmar because
of the large amount of mail that is
dispatched to it from Minneapolis.
Parcel post from Minneapolis concerns
is brought into this new department
and is distributed for these principal
towns and dispatched direct to trains.
This means that orders filled by Min
neapolis business houses will go for
ward without delay in terminal or de-
pots and invariably will be in the
hands of our mechants the same day
or the next day after being shipped
from the city.
