Trainee Becomes Inventor

Elmer johnson, trainee OF the
United States Veterans Bureau at
Hibbing, Mimi, is the inventor Of an
automatic hose and hydrant coupling
which promises to bring the young
man a comfortable income.
The invention has been tried out IN
several large cities of the country and
has proven it's worth to such an ex-
tent that every fire department. in the
United States is expected to have the
new coupling before long. .
The device consists in reality OF
two parts. One part is permanently
attached to the hydrant and is COW
cred by a cap to keep dust and dirt
out. The second part is attached to
the hose. The device enabled fire
department to make a direct coup
ling within one-ffth of a second. In
stead of the coupling having to be
screwed on as is the practice now,
one forward movement connects the
hose coupling with the hydrant and
the hose is ready for the stream OF
water, almost instantly.
1t is one of the greatest time
savers in preparing for fire and
fire chiefs and fire department Off
Gals in Chicago who witnessed an
actual demonstration of the device
say it is one of the best devices ever
invented for time saving purposes.
1t takes a fire department under the
present system from seven seconds
upward to make hose connection. :
Before enlisting in the army Mr..
Johnson was a miller with a grammar
school education. In the war he was
a sergeant in Co. I, 351st Infantry,
A. E. F., and was discharged with
a disability which made it impossi-
BILE for him to carry on as a miller.
The United States Veterans Bureau
awarded him vocational training with
the employment objective of electrical
and oxy-acetylene welder, and he is
now pursuing that course.

THE SMALL NEWSPAPER
PROBLEM
BY z. W. GILES.

Running q small newspaper and
making It pay In not an easy task, but
worthwhile things are not easy in any
of the relations of life.
First Of all, the wise editor leaves
the faults Of the people to God and TO
the regular agencies Of law enforce
ment. In other words the wise editor
treats the faults of the people with
silent and prayerful sorrow.
The wise editor is good mixer.
He gets around among the people and
gathers news items from every source,
something like the honey bee.
In other words, the wise editor
gathers variety and quantity OF
local news items and serves them up
to the people in an appetizing form
something as the wise house mother
gathers variety and quantity Of
foods and cooks them so good it
makes your mouth water to think
of it.
Now when the paper is well filled
with a variety and quantity of local
news items the people want the paper
and subscribe for the paper and read
the paper, and feel they could not
keep house without it.
NOW HI CnlS secures anu maIutdlHS
a good subscription list of people who
really want and really read the paper
and are glad to pay the subscription
price because they are getting real
news item value for their money.
Now good subscription list
gathered and maintained on the basis
Of paper well filed with local news
items makes it easy to get advertise
ments and at better prices, and the
advertisers are glad to pay for the
service.
To begin at the other end and work
back, good volume Of advertising at
good prices is based on a good sub
scription list, and a good subscription
list is based on a paper filled with a
variety and quantity of local news
items.
When all of this is accomplished

Retaining Enables Veteran
To Double His Earnings

1t is very interesting to the gen.
eral public and encouraging TO- men
still in training under the United
States Veterans Bureau to know
what has been accomplished by men
who have finished their courses and
been rehabilitated.
Here is a case that serves as an
illustration. Rolla Dean Wilson was
a clerk and a railroad brakeman be-
fore the war, earning from sixty to
ninety dollars a month. During his
military service he received shrap-
mel wound in his right leg, which re-
suited in a compound fracture Of the
bone. This injury made it impossible
for him to return to his pre-war
work. In order to remove this voca-
xional handicap incurred in the serv-
ice he was given a course OF voca-
tional training with the employment
objective of show-card writer and
window trimmer, which occupation ne
could carry on in spite of his wound.
He was given training in show:
card and Understanding school
with supplementary evening courses
in an art school. He was given fur
Their training to acquire the practical
side of the subject with business
house. His course of training occu-
pied eight months and cost the gov
eminent little over 5000 for tuition,
supplies, transportation and training
pay. -. .
Mr.. Wilson applied himself consci-
entiously to his work at all times and
has perfected himself in his chosen
calling. When Mr.. Wilson was re-
habihtated he was Immediately en-
ploved with a firm in Rapid City, S.
D., at a salary of $3.50 per month, or
practically double his pre-war rate OF
earnings

Shipload Chinese Eggs
Represents Years Work
of 10000 Chink Hens

A single shipment of Chinese eggs
recently received in this country and
inspected by the bureau of chemistry
of the department of agriculture was
estimated to be worth approximately
S5,O00l000. The shipment, which
came in at the port of New York.
consisted of 1880 cases and 12S,262
tins of frozen eggs from Marking
and Hankow, and 5000 cases of
dried eggs exclusive of albumen. On
the weight basis there were 100000
pounds of frozen eggs and 100000
pounds of dried eggs. The total was
equivalent to 435,000 cases of shell
eggs, which, at the going price of
more than SO a case, was worth
nearly five million American dollars.
The shipload of eggs represented a
years work for perhaps one and a
half million hens.
