Open an Office in this Place and a Profitable Industry will be Located in the Town. In October, 190(i, the United States patent office issued to E. A. Reltz, of Reynoldsville, a patent on a new and improved device in an adjustable win 'dovr screen, and one month later the Canadian rights were also secured by the patentee. Within the past three weeks Mr. Reitz, completed arrange ments to place the screen on the mar ket in tne United States and a comp ny, of which he is the head, doing business under the firm name of E. A. Reitz & Co., has been organized to finance the matter. For the present Mr. Reltz's business place on Fifth street will be used for the manufacture of models and as a general business office. The Canadian patent rights have been placed in the hands of an Agent for sale and negotiations are al ready on which may net Mr. Reitz from ten to twenty thousand dollars. . The screen, a diagram of whioh is shown herewith, is simple and durable In oongjruction and there is nothing now tfa the market equalling it. It Is fastened to the frame on the outer aide of the window, being adjustable to any width or heighth, and grooves at the side carry it up and down, mak ing it possible to use the screen for top or lower sash or at any intermediate position. When it is considered that practically every dwelling house has vse for window screens the immense ifleld for the new invention-is apparent; and the simplicity and convenience of the device ebuuld make its superiorty equally apparent. Certainly Reynolds ville people should help in every way possible to spread the reputation of a device the increasing demand for whioh will mean the operation of a new and valuable industry in the town.

Moudy has been in Reynoldsville the past week endeavoring to interest local people in a proposition to establish a chair factory at Reynoldsville. At present he has a plant at Mt. Union, Huntingdon county, Pa., which, on account of local conditions-at that place, such as tuel, and encroachments on factory property by a railroad, is handicapped and for a year past has not been operated. Mr. Moudy has evidence to prove all his claims of the business which has been built up, and of the orders still coming in which he i8 unable to fill. His proposition to the people shall be given him on which to build a factory; and that $10,000 or $12,000 worth stock be taken by local people. On his part he will build the factory, bring here the machinery and complete equipment of his Mt. Union factory and guarantee employment to a half a hundred men. On the stock dividends of at least seven per cent may be expected and his experience justifies him in be lieving even morecould be earned under the favorable conditions here. One of them alone, fuel, can be secured here at nearly 50 per cent below prices in old location. Mr. Moudy will remain here glad to meet the citizeus and explain his proposition.

Church at Deemer's Cross Roads Erected Under Trying Circumstances. Dedication Sunday. Friday evening, June 14, tbe Rev. J. C. McEntire, of Reynoldsville, will open the dedicatory exercises at tbe ' new Methodist Episcopal church at Doemer's Cross Reads and use all of his eloquence to get the good people of that region to open their hearts and -their purses and make possible the real dedica'lon Sunday. Saturday morning at 10:30 Dr. J. Bell Neff, of DuBois M. E. church, will deliver an address and in tbe afternoon Dr. J. A. Parsons of the Reynoldsville M. E. church, will speak. In addition Rev. John E. Galbraitb, a noted singer of Hawthorne will assist at both meetings. Sunday 1 Dr. A. R. Rich, the presiding elder, will lay the corner stone and, if the small debt encumbering tbe new build ing Is subscribed, dedicate the church. The history of the new structure it Interesting. Rev. D. E. Baldwin, pastor of the church, has a record of building over twenty-five structures on M.-E. church property in various parta of tbe country, but none which requir ed more earnest effort or was erected under stranger conditions than this. Originally this church stood near a lumbering village in an adjoining county but shifting population rendered It unnecessary there. Rev. Baldwin needed a church building at tbe Cross Roads and hearing of the- abandoned structure made overtures for its trans fer. The building was torn down In part, sent here and re-erected under the direction of the pastor by those who expect to worship within its walls. Farmers contributed the use of thalr teams for hauling, and lent a hand to the heavy work of building. Their wives and daughters came around to do tbe lighter work on the interior and tbe pastor himself in shirtsleeve! and boots done something mere than boss the job. And now it is done but there remalms a little to oav and If any, appreciating the struggle tbe new congregation has made, would like to contribute a little, the pastor will be only too glad to receive it on behalf of bis people.
