NORTHWESTERN

18TH BIRTHDAY

Local Northwestern employees are
interested in the 18th anniversary Of
the company's existence to be held IN
Chicago today. One hundred veterans
OF the company service, namely those
who have been employed so years or
more, will be entertained in fine style
as guests of the company The North
western is the pioneer road of the
West, the old Galena and Chicago
Union being the first road to lay rails
west of Chicago. From that humble
beginning spread the present titanic
system Of over ten thousand miles OF
track, reaching nine states. In fact
the development of the great mid
west goes hand in hand with the ex-
pansion of the Northwestern road AS
an additional point of interest the
first locomotive, "The Pioneer" which
visitors to the Worlds Columbian
Exposition will remember as being
one of the interesting historical eX-
hibits, is still in possession of the
company and in excellent state of re-
pairs.

KILLING FROST
MPS VEGETATION

The first really killing frost of the
fall struck Lancaster Thursday night.
The temperature dropped we'll below

good skim of ice by daybreak. Kill
ing frosts in this latitude come gen
orally between October Is and 20. Up
to date vegetation has been luxuriant
and beautiful. Flower lovers say that
colors in fall flowers never have been
more gorgeous than this year. Edi-
BILE mushrooms have been picked ali

fine specimen of the pink-gilled
champion, the master of all the
species. Late raspberries were being

ORGANIZE To LAUNCH
ENGINE FUEL SAVER
CURTIS GENERATOR GOES
ON MARKET SOON.

The Curtis Fuel Generator Co. has
organized with ]. H. Brauchler, presi-
dent, Geo. Curtis, secretary and Geo.
Beck, treasurer. The company will
distribute the Curtis fuel generating
device as developed by Mr.. Curtis
from a theory of Mr.. Brauchler's. A
Chicago manufacturer will make the
devices and the local men will direct
the sales distribution. Patent has
been applied for.
The device heats and generates
gasoline and kerosene equally we'll
according to the type of engine. 1t is
adaptable to all types of motor cars,
combustion engines, etc. The inven-
tor claims to have made As miles to
the gallon of gasoline with a smoother
running motor than ordinary.
The principle is really simple. The
Curtis device volatilizes' the power
fluid before it is admitted to the car
buretor. This is done ingeniously and
in a practical way. Mr. Curtis says
his method is patent proof.
Mr.. Curtis is in Chicago this week
arranging manufacture. Distribution
will follow.

CASSVILLE RECORD
STOPSPUBLICATON

The Herald regrets to report the
suspension of the Cassville Record
We knew that Mr. KIauer, the editor,
had the matter in mind for some time
heavily increased costs Of publication
during and since the war having G.3de
the burden of publishing too heavy to
be borne. A few years ago the Index
ceased publishing, Mr.. Foley, the edi-
tor, uniting his fortunes with the
Bloomington Record This leaves the
village without a newspaper. Mr..
Klauer is a capable newspaper man
but as often happens, conditions in the
field did not warrant his continuing
longer. He plans to locate further
west, feeling that higher altitude
will prove beneficial to his hearing
and general health.

Herald Buys Teller
Plant and Building
Deal Closed Saturday,
Plans in Prospect.

In a deal completed Saturday A. L.
Sherman, owner of the Herald, bought
the Teller building of Clarence Cal
vert, who acquired it Of Burne Pol
lock nearly three years ago. At the
same time Mr.. Sherman acquired the
Teller plant recently operated for 4
few weeks by w. j. Kueneman of
North English, Iowa, in getting out
the Lancaster Register.
Expanding business has made nee
essary the location of permanent
home for the Herald so that improve
ments long projected to meet the
needs of the business can be conf
pleted
To get the building it was also nee
essary to make some disposal o. the
Teller, or Register, plant and Mr..
Kueneman wanting to sell Mr.. Sher-
man bought him out.
The Herald assumes no obligation
except that it will carry out the paid
in-adyance subscriptions according to
the record furnished by Mr.. Kuene-
man. AS soon as possible these az
counts will be computed and proper
credit given ON the Herald list. Sub
scribers paid ahead on the Teller who
w 0I uOC IdhIuS ILS IlSI o1u VIII lC-
ceive credit by us for the amount due
them. All subscriptions owing; the
Teller are now payable to the Herald.
Mr. Kueneman in deciding to sell
acted following judgment on his part
that Lancaster was we'll served by
the Herald and that an effort to es-
tablish another paper would prove
neither profitable for him nor desired
by the public. He has returned to his
former location at North English,
where he has an established news
paper While here Mr.. Kueneman
made many friends. He has nothing
but the kindest words for Lancaster
and its people.
The Herald has under formation a
plan spoken of at various times. We
believe bigger and better equipment
would enable us to get out a consid7
erably better newspaper appreciated
by our public and worth while for US.
There is considerable to be done and
until further notice, the Herald will
continue at the old stand.
The Herald ownership is deeply APP
.preciative of the fine support given US
in this county. We have done our
best to serve the people in news
paper way and will continue to do so.
We are working for you and you have
given us ample proof that you believe
the jealous servant is worthy OF his
hire. We thank you.

III Life is Futile
Then Why 60 On?

A cynical philosopher epitomizes
human life as Notes dancing in the
sunbeam and gibbering about des-
tiny" He goes on to say that like
notes we dance while the sun shines
and then drift into darkness and
quiet-forever.
The apparent futility of life strikes
us all at times We wonder why we
work, slave, worry, struggle and plan
knowing that the grave is our ulti-
mate reposing place. Day by day we
pursue this routine. What is the pur-
pose and why do we do it?
There is something in the heart OF
Man that gives him hope and causes
him to struggle on. There is some
thing that makes him patient, indus
trious and aspiring. This something
makes him clench his tiny fists and
dare destiny. This something has
urged him on from the day OF the Gro
Magnon man, the stone age, to the
present and will urge him on TO
greater and higher achievements.
Some day, earthly problems conquer
ed, he will stand tip-tOe on the brink
of the world and stretch those tiny
hands darfngly toward the stars.
This something makes us live, WORK
and hope. We pass but others come.
They will pass and others will follow.
Always as the race advances so
marches the impulse to conquer des-
tiny. In reverent, hushed tones, we
deem this impulse-God.

EXCHANGING BOUQUETS

Senator Editor Roethe of the Fen
nimore Times, commenting editorial
ly on matter written by the Index
man, said in his paper: "The Cass-
vile Index has been saying SO many

Times right along, we are at loss
how to thank him. However, if we
get there ahead Of him, we shall see
to it that st. Peter opens hte pearly
gates wide for John when seeks adj
mittance.'
The Index replies: isn't that nice
of the senator? What more could a
fellow want? To have his friendship
here on earth, and his promise CT
heavenly interest in our behalf-over
there in the flower bedecked gardens
of the eternal, is certainly good
enough for all concerned"

Is the American Common

Is the American commonwealth us
integrating? Is the system of demo-
cratic principles binding us together
as one people being broken down by
violence and law disrespect and dis

In Louisiana, amid the bayous, TWO

The mutilated bodies are thrown IN

naught. The murderers, doubtless

In Oklahoma faction fights khan

MAKES PLEA TO
SAVE BITTERSWEET

The attention of those interested in
identifying the highways and their
own surroundings is called by the
Federation of Woman's Clubs to the
fact that if those persons will take the
Bitter Sweet Berries that they gath
cred this fall and strew them along
the highway fences or their own yard
fences that the seeds will grow. Thus
will be saved from total extermina-
ton a vine that will soon be totally
lost to this vicinity. The unthought-
full and deplorable carelessness with
which even Native Landscape" en-
thusiasts have mutilated the beautiful
Bitter Sweet vine is regrettable and
can be partly atoned for by planting
instead of burning the seeds.

COmfng-The Dawn
OF a New Age.

Dawning in the industrial world is
a new age. Our best scientific minds
are busily at work on it. AS this age
gathers impetus it will revolutionize
industry and economic and moral life.
We speak of the system whereby
coal will be transformed into electri-
cal energy at the mines and distrib-
uted throughout the country by means
of high-power transmission lines.
Transportation costs and other
charges connected with getting fuel
energy to the consumer will be obvi-
ated. Wheels will turn and homes
and all other buildings will be heated
and lighted by electricity brought
from great but not unfeasible dis
tances.
When we see this age we will see
manufacture drift back countrywards
under more simple and manifestly
better conditions. The huge city, a
modern and top-heavy excrescence,
will be limited in it's abnormal and
unhealthy growth. Population will be
better distributed and life will go for
ward under healthier and saner con-
d ions.
