ing the high priced print paper these

town in 1871. He is In good health,

Some early time reminiscent items
occurring in and around Beloit in the
early seventies: A dozen hewn oak
logs was all there was to be seen on
the site where now stands one of the
most modern and up-to-date FIGURING
mills in north central Kansas. When
first seen by one of the pioneer set
tiers there was standing by the side OF
the logs a few men with revolvers by
their sides expectant ~of an Indian
skirmish. and they had been dining
in a dugout. on being catechised it was
soon found out these men had album
dant faith in the future of Beloit, and
at the time the town only had IS
buildings all told, where IS months
prior the site of the town was pointed
out as the future ground where the
Mitchell county court house would be
erected.
In May, 1872, three buffalos were
killed near Waconda, and a big herd
was grazing near Beloit. Antelopes
were very plentiful in Mitchell county

| GERS, and a notary public, carried an
advertisement in the Belolt Gazette as
early as 1871, saying: Parties de-
string to come west for the purpose of
locating colonies should address me AT

When people buy toys. in large

return to more fitting raiment-this
year it is the well-established, well to
do children's parents who invested in
very expensive and high priced toys.
The laborers, the munition workers,
and other classes whose receipts were
vastly increased during the war. out
dropped back this year to the cheaper
toys, indicating that they have either
seen the light OF reason and have
started to save money, or that their
incomes are being adjusted to the nor
NAL scale.

Klo ldike gold fields in 1896 was
held at Dawson, They recounted the
experiences OF the only big gold
strike since 40, when thousands
persisted in Yukon SHOWS seeking
the yellow metal. And they also re-
called that it wasn't worth it, as the
most gold taken out of the Klondike
in single year was but $4,000, 1000
in 1900. They agreed that Klondike
in wealth.
They also recalled poor old
"Skookum jim" the Siwash Indian,
who first discovered gold in the Yu-
kon region; and how he amassed
what to him was fortune, some
thing like 100000, how he went
to Seattle and bought everything his
eyes fell upon-and five years later
was buried in a pauper's grave.
AS in all gambling games-just SO
in rainbow chasing-the most of
those who rushed to the Klondike
dragged their way home broke.
Ponder that and ask. yourself If
rainbow chasing pays. The best OPP

is YOUR BATTERY
GIVING GOOD SERVICE ?

Your lights are burning, Mister
Yes, | know it," is an inscription
which will be seen on more than one
automobile in the coming year. At
least until the remainder of the mo-
toring public come to realize that a
car with burning headlights is not
the result of an all night joy ride
or accidental turning of the light
switch. One driver threatened to
use such a sign when told by a
battery service man that long day
time trips and high charging rate
OF his generator under such condi-
tiOns meant certain disaster for the
storage battery on his car unless he
burned the lights.
In that respect at least, the Euro
pean name "Accumulator" by which
storage batteries are known over
there is more literally correct. An
automobile battery merely accumu-
lates the surplus electricity develop
ed by the generator and when that
current becomes excessive, the work
done in the battery (and it is just
do uluCu WOIk lOT d UdLC6Ty 10 take
a charge as it is to give 1t Off be-
comes burden to 1t and overhead
ing results.
Most car owners know by this
time that Overheatng means buckled
plates, destruction of certain kinds
Of insulation materials commonly
used and short circuits Escape from
this danger may be had by burning
the headlights while on long day
trips, particularly when a recent
test has shown the battery to be
fully charged.
The Willard Storage Battery COM
pany strikes a timely note OF warn
ng in their latest booklet, entitled,
willard Service; For Your Bat
tery's Benefit-and Yours" They
say never allow your battery to be-
come overheated in service; keep all
cells filled with distilled water;
keep your battery fully charged in
winter to prevent freezing; the bat
terry will then take care of itself.
