WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK
Feat of Eneraver That Is Not Likely
to Be Duplicated for Many
Years.

The bureau of standards was re-
Gently asked to measure what is
probably the smallest piece Of engrav-
ing on glass in the world. The en-
craving consists of the Lords Prayer
(57-word version) engraved on glass
In space of .OO1 by .OO2 of an inch.
The writing can only be seen under
high-power microscope, the mangifi-
cation required being from 900 to 1000
times. The measurements by which
the above dimensions were determined
were carried out in the laboratories of
the bureau.
The extremely small size of this en-
craving will be realized when it is
considered that if square inch were
entirely filed with writing of this size
the entire Bible could be written 25
times in that space-in other words,
something more than 20,00O,0OO words
could be written in square inch.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address DR.;
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

lifting and carrying can be eliminated
by placing the platform near the
forms and the tools, cement. aggre-
gates and water near the platform.
Have Forms Ready.
Before starting to mix the cement
and aggregates be sure that the forms
are ready to use and the correct mix
ture of the cement and aggregates
has been decided upon. The accom-
panying table can be conveniently
used in deciding upon what mixture
10 use. For convenience in explain
Ing how to make hand-mixed concrete
we Twill take a 1928 mix, which
means one sack Of cement to two Gu
bic feet of sand to three cubic feet of
pebbles or crushed rock.
Place the measuring box near the
center Of the mixing platform and fill
with clean sand that has been
screened. When the box which, by
the way, has been filed and emptied
twice there will be two cubic feet of
sand on the platform. Level off the
sand until it is approximately two
inches thick and in the center of 1t
empty one sack Of cement.
Mix water with the cement and ag-
gregates until the mass is of quaky,
jelly-like consistency. Do not use an
excess of water or the strength of the
concrete will be decreased.
AS soon as the concrete Is thorough
ly mixed place 1t in the forms. This
ia necessary because the hardening
process begins Immediately and con-

There is something about the
Christmas season it has not been
given man to understand. Changed
conditions, greater desire to live
and to be of service to those ABOUT
US; hope and a prayer for greater
blessings of health and prosperity
for all humanity-these fall upon US
in a shower along about this time
each year, and yet We pass through
it still unable to fathom its mystery.

CHRISTMAS

Again the Spirit of Christmas is in

hearts toward one another: there is
a new flash OF happiness in the eyes;
. new firmness is felt in the grip
of our daily handshakes: something

MAKING RURAL LIFE POPULAR

The success. advance and popular
ity of country life depends principal
ly on the kind of leadership you have
in a country town.
In some places there are plenty
of bright people. but no one seems
to have any go ahead spirit Those
who have ability may be afraid of
criticism. and fear of being laughed
as if they took hold of any kind of
community project. They are per-
haps afraid that the thing they have
in mind will not prove success. and
they dislike to be responsible for any
kind of fizzle.
You can't have good civic organi-
cations. you can not have an i'm
proving social life. unless certain
number of people are willing to go
ahead and lay out some plans for ac-
tivities and work a little to carry
them out.
The lack of spare time is commonly
given as the reason why capable
people do not show initiative. More
frequently though. it is because of a
dislike for taking the lead. Minis
ters and teachers can make them
selves tremendously useful in these
ways. The minister of the future
will not spend quite so much time
writing sermons, but will spend more
time in organizing helpful activities
among his people.
The teacher of the future will not
spend quite so much time studying
up facts and information, but she will
spend more time in helping the com
munity utilize its own resources.
In some places young people try
to wake up their home town by loud
and more or less disorderly conduct.
That gets them nowhere Instead of
waiting for someone else to provide
normal diversions for them, they
should themselves organize those
pleasant and helpful activities that
give life and character to a country
town.
The people of Julesburg should be
proud of their energetic and active
community. But thev should never

WATCH YOUR NAIL

We learn from government re-
port reaching this office that more
mail is reaching the dead letter office
at Washington now than at any
time in the history of the pOstoffice
department Maybe it is because
more mail is dispatched today than
ever before, but we believe if you'd
ask postmaster S. H. Carlson of
Julesburg for the cause he would tell
you that people are more careless
now than they used to be. They are
in more Of hurry, address their let
tiers more rapidly. and naturally are
more apt to get the addresses wrong.
Rushing to the postoffice and drop
ping them in the letter box without
taking second TO see if q stamp has
been affixed is also another form of
sending mail astray.
There are still some people who try
to get along without return cards
printed on their envelopes. Letters
misaddreSSed or posted without
stamps go direct to the dead letter
office unless there is return card
on the envelope.
The report also says that over
100000 lettes are mailed every
hour in the "a hours of each day in
the year. And more than sixty mil
lion pieces of parcels post mail were
handled by Uncle Sam last year. In
all, the people of the United States
used last year more than nineteen
billion postage stamps. So, after all,
people who do so much correspond
ing can hardly be censured if, in their
rush and hustle, they occasionally for
get to read the address on the envel-
ope carefully before dropping it into
q mail box.
