Register of Wills Ernest B..
Raughley is again occupying the
office which he was the first to oc-
cupy as register in the Kent Coun-
ty Courthouse. Mr.. Raughley was
elected register in 1916 when the
county offices were in the old coun-
ty building, now the State Agricul-
ture Building. Two years later, in
the middle of his term, the county
officers were moved to the court
house, until then used principally
for court operations. He recollect-
ed that in sorting and moving Of
the various legal documents he un-
covered the will of Caesar Rodney,
which is now in the state archives.
At the November election, Mr..
Raughley again was elected regis
ter of wills and on January I as

completed his first term.

Famous in song and story, the
Hawaiian Islands are decidedly
popular with the u. S. Marines and
bluejackets, according to hundreds
of them who at various times have
been stationed at Pearl Harbor,
about eight miles from the city of
Honolulu.
There are definite reasons for
their popularity. Not only has the
charm of the islands intrigued
many tourists as well as the mar
ines, but the climate is said to be
the most equable in the world.
Since the days of Captain Cook the
archipelago has been a focal point
of romantic interest.
Members of all branches of the
service are stationed on the island
of Oahu and there is some lively
competition among them in boxing,
baseball and other sports.
About one hundred years ago, IN
1910, Pearl Harbor was surveyed
by Commodore Charles Wilkes of
the U. S. Navy, who recommended
the site as a naval base. A few
years later Lieut.. j. w. Curtis OF
the Marine Corps also recommend

Christian Science commands man
to master the propensities, - to
hold hatred in allegiance with kind

revenge with charity, and to over

S. M. Harrington, Secretary
Treasurer, presented his report for
the past year thanking the direc-

stockholders for the loyal cooper

throughout the year. Mr.. Har-
rington stated that he had re-
quested at the stockholders meet
ing last year that the stockholders
obtain for the Association loans in
the amount of 100000 during the
year which goal was more than
reached. After setting forth the
entire financial structure for the
past year, he concluded his re
marks by asking the members to
secure at least a half a million dol
lars of loans by the end of 1871
and assured fine Stockholders th6t
if that goal was reached that the
Association would close its year
with a surplus of more than $780,

there is air in the radiators, you
will hear a sizzling sound due to
it escaping, and finally water
will flow out of the radiator.
Catch this water in the con-
tainer. Close the valve with the
key anytime after the water be-
gins to escape. This radiator has
now been vented. Perform the
sam operation on any other air
bound radiator.
Water circulation will stop
with air bound radiators. These
in turn will become cold, causing
room temperatures to drop.
Whenever fresh water is added
to a system, air is also added,
because city main water is usu-
ally aerated. BY this we mean
the water is charged with min
ute air bubbles. Subsequent heat
ing will free this air and it may
become trapped IN the radiator
sections.
1t is an easy matter to tell if
the hot water radiator is air
bound. The sections adjacent to
the vent valve will be chilled or
cold. If this condition exists, inn
mediately vent that radiator. IL
all the sections of the radiator
are hot and the room remains
chilled or cold, this condition
definitely indicates that the radi-
ator is understood.
II it is impossible to locate the
trouble, get in touch with your
local coal dealer. He is in posi-
ton to aid you in solving most
heating problems. (2o)
