WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

There was considerable comment
aprorcs the proposition of the Nc
Quige's to give free gas to churches,
and some of the opposition leaders
tried TO make it out as bride. We
are asked to inquire the difference be-
tween this proposition and that of the
Stanton Construction Company, which
agreed to give $1,000 to the park fund
if the contract on certain street was
let to them. 1t appears that both pro-
positions were expressions of appre-
cation more than anything else and
there is little difference if any.

A motor-operated rubbing machine
for wood surface finishing has been de-

by a regulator which can be varied ac-

The machine is inclosed in a dust-prOof
