HARBOR TALK,
More lonesome than a lonesome ship ai
sea,
The sailing moon rides beautifully by,
Blown from such purple harbors &s may
be
In unimagined corners of the sky.
Bhe Is not careless where she gazes down
On sleepy streets the silver silence fills,
But thoughtful ever ef a Little town,
And foolish-fond of little wooded hills
Sea folk are given so to telling tales,
I think the moon, when she puts in at
last,
May spin a story where she reefs her
salle
And there her talk of shorelands that
she passed
Is all of glimmering meadows, ghostly
still,
A sleepy town .

HOTEL HAS OWN NEWSPAPER
Decidedly Neve! Jeurnalistic Enter.
prise Recently Launched by Large
New York Hestelry.
A novel journalistic enterprise has
been started by a large New York
hotel, which lasues a dally newspaper
for the benefit of its patrons. It is
a four-page sheet, and a copy of It Is
placed under the door of each of the
rooms In the hotel every afternoon at
five—the psychological hour when the
guest returns from matinee or shop~
ping and drops into a chalr for half
an hour's rest before dressing for din-
ner. Its editor is a woman who has
had considerable experience in the
editorial and circulation departments
of various American newspapers and
publishing® houses. She keeps her
finger on every news detail In connec-
tion with the hotel, and has secured
the willing help of the employees In
making her acquainted with every:
thing of Interest that is going on.
But the mest notable feature of the
paper is its Interviews. The editor
interviews two prominent guests every
day of the week. Among those from
whom she has extracted good “copy”
have been explorers from Borneo, Im-
porters from Hong Kong, deep-ses
divers from South America, diplomat-
ists from France, church dignitaries
from Italy, princes from India, writers,
sculptors, dry goods merchants, office
holders and office seekers. She has
often had to provide herself with the
assistance of two Interpreters, for
sometimes her victim can speak only

Solves Lathe-Work Problems.
A very comprehensive machine-shop
rule, now on the market in New York,
makes possible the solution of many
problems In connection with lathe
work, without the lengthy ealculations
that would be otherwise necgssary.
From graduations on one face of the
rule, which is about 1% In. wide, there
can be read : the number of revolutions
in proportion to the diameter of the
bar and the cutting and grinding
speed; the time required to turn or
grind a bar in proportion to its length
and rate of feed and revolution: the
volume of metal removed in proportion
to the depth of a cut, the rate of the
feed and its speed; and the area
machined In proportion to the rate
of the feed and the cutting speed. On
the other face of the rule are very
completes Inch and metric graduations,
so that it can be used as an ordinary
measuring rule.— Popular Mechanics

WHO
Science has progressed perhaps
more rapidly during the last decade
than in any previous period of the
world’s history, and one of the scien-
ces that has been brought to a high
degree of perfection is that science
and art of chiropractic.
We are fortunately represented in
this profession here in this county
by this well known chiropractor who
is a close student of the times, and
during the term of service in the
profession has kept thoroughly
abreast of the times by reading,
study and wide research. He is o
doctor of excellent standing, wide
professional ability and considered
by others in the profession as one of
the most expert upon spinal analysis
and adjustment in the country, and
as a consequence enjoys a prac-
tice that is ever increasing.
He is a graduate of the foremost
college of chiropractic, one of the
best schools in the profession, and
also having post graduate work which
has been used to a marked advantage
since locating in this community, Pre-
vious to this time this prominent
chiropracter received a gen-
eral and special education, pre-
paring to a marked degree for the
work that the profession embraces.
The science of chiropractic is fou-
nded upon the principle of spinal ad-
justments as the spine is the index
to your health and removes causes
by relieving pressure on the nerves.
The slogan is: “If the spine is right,
the man is right.” Consultation and
analysis are free to all and anyone
who is not feeling in the best con-
dition should call around and have
an examination or an adjustment or
two taken in time is a powerful pre
ventative and may save you much
future trouble and pain.
People from all over this section
come for consultation and have
chiropractic spinal adjustments made
that invariably result in a very bene-
ficial manner. These people are of
high standing in the communities in
which they live and in this edition we
are glad to compliment him upon the
excellent standing he has attained
in the profession and upon the high
character of his work and the assist-
ance he is lending in keeping the
people of this section of the country
in a good, healthy condition.
TOMMY KIT'S DREAM.

Tabby to her four kittens, “just as If

“Children, I want you to pay strict

Now you must help. I want each

After telling her children this, Mrs
Tabby sat down to watch near the
fifth trap herself and soon all were

they forgot each other.
Tommy Kit, however, grew tired of
about mice, and In

Off trotted Mrs Tabby with her
other children, while Tommy sat sad

mice and Tommy ran after them, He
caught one and then seeing the other

went after that, while a third was so

LENT BUSINESS MEN.
The community which provides
the farmers in the county surround-
ing with a market for their grain and
other products is the one which will

with the conditions of the market
brings many dollars worth of busi-
ness to the county and aids in no
small degree in making this a more
