A Successful Contractor
Mr. S. S. Cooper who was born on
the 18th of October, 1865, came to
Clinton in 1885. He is one of the
town's most energetic builders and
since 1887 has erected over - two hun-
dred buildings, including churches,
school houses, parsonages. Among the
number: The House of Refuge, Stay
ely Hall, Baptist Church, Methodist
Parsonage, Varna, Holmesville school,
W. R. Jowett', residence, Bayfield,
R. McMordie's residence, London Rd.
The organ factory was built by him,
also Mr. Doherty's beautiful resi-
dence, Mr. Cooper built his own well-
equipped two-storey factory in 1894.
Mr, J. E. Crealy has decided to
start a "Skimming Station" in Clin-
ton and last week rented for a term
of five years part of Mr. Jacob Mil-
lers shop which is now being made
ready for occupancy.
A quiet and pretty wedding took
place at the Rattenbury street par-
sonage yesterday when. Rev. W. G.
Howson's eldest daughter, Florence N.
was united in marriage to Rev. J. H.
Hoover, a member of the Michigan
Episcopal Church.
Col. Holmes was in Clinton on Fri -
brought out to a place on the field
was in charge of Russel Coiwill, a
former C.G.I. student.
Mr. Wm. Acton of the Motor Comp-
any staff had the misfortune to frac-
ture his right wrist on Monday while
cranking a car. The injury will lay
him off work for two or three weeks.
In. the passing of William Riley of
Lcndesboro on Monday last, that sec-
tion lost one of its most highly
esteemed residents. Had he lived until
July 3rd, he would have rounded out
his seventy-third year. He was an
Orangeman, a Forester, and a mem-
ber of the Londesboro Masonic Lodge.
After the routine business at the
regular meeting of the LO.O.F. Tues-
day evening, Mr. 3. W. Moore, on be-
half of the members, pesented Mr.
Jacob Taylor, a long-time member of
the lodge with a pair of military
brushes. On the same evening the
ladies of Ontario Street Church pre-
sented Mrs. Taylor with a pretty
travelling clock. Mr. and Mrs. Tay-
lor leave soon for Toronto'.
Mr. Oriand. Johnston, who has been
a member of the local branch of the
Molson's Bank for the past eighteen
months, has been transferred to Belle-
ville and left for that place on Tues-
day, Mr. Karl Wilkin, teller of the
day last and in company with Cap-
tains Combe, McTaggart, Shaw and
Messrs. 3. Ransford and J. Johnstone
went over the ground which has been
looked upon as entirely suitable for
a rifle range. He agreed, we believe, i
under certain conditions to grant $100
for improvement purposes.
The other day Mr, C. Wallis ran
over his payments for hogs during
1899 and found the total amounted;
to $91,000 or an average of $7.00 per ;
porker.
Butt's mill at Summerhill started
up for the season last week and

MAKE FRIENDS WITH
THE BIRDS
By John Hartley
THE BLUE BIRD
This is a very beautiful bird. It
comes back in the Spring as early
as the Robin. it is smaller than a'
Robin. Its song is similar to that
of a Robin although the song of the
Blue Bird is tender and .plaintive
while that of the Robin is clear and
loud.
To build a Blue Bird house cut six
boards: (a). 2 of them 7 in. wide,
5 in. long on each edge and 7 in.
long in the centre. (The two .slopes
are for the roof), (b) 3 of them 6 in.
long, and 5 in. wide, (c) 1 of them
10 in. long and 2 in. wide.
Bore a hole ibi. in. in diameter,
2 inches down from the point of one
of the boards described in (a). This
is a' doorway. Place the centre of
the other board described in (a) on
the centre of the board 10 in. long
and 2 in. wide having the board 10.
in. long project 1% in. above and
about 1% in. below. Using 2 -inch.
finishing nails nail these boards to-
gether.
Place 2 of the boards described in
(b) on the 5 -inch edge and facing
each other 5 inches apart. Using 2 -
inch finishing nails, nail the board
with the hole bored in it on these
two for the front of the house. Turn
these three boards upside down and
nail the other board described in (a)
'on for the back of the ho -use. Set
the House upright. Drop the other
board described in (b) down between
the walls to be the floor of the house.
Drive -nails through the walls into
the hoer. So far use 19 nails. Shingle
the roof. Paint the house green with
white trimmings.
Using 2% in. wire nails, nail fhe
house to a board 10ft. long and 4 in.
wide, driving 1 nail above and the
other below the house. Nail the other
end of the board to a post near the
flower garden.

a picture of a sailing ship with her
masts carrying all the canvas the
artist wasable to put on theist. And
always you are reading something in
the newspapers about the last of the
-windjammers. They are getting few-
er - these survivors of a class of
ship about which many a thrilling
tale has been told - from the days
of Columbus onward.
One of these ships is about to die -
The Star of Finland. Once this ship
had 29 sisters, family name of
"Star" - Star of Lapland, Star of
Shetland, Star of Falkland, by way
of example. But all these sisters
have gone the way of all windjam-
mers - the way to their graveyard -
which may be the bottom of the sea
or to some shipyard for breaking up.
You just can't afford to maintain a
ship which requires the greater part
of a year to go from Philadelphia
to Seattle, by way of example - 283
days in the case of one of these Star
ships - this before the Panama Canal
was opened.
The Star of Finland is not so very
old - 40-41 years. Her first waters
were the Atlantic. Five years ago
she began sailing from San Francisco
to Alaska, and back, in the service
of a salmon fishing and packing
company.
Economics is death on windjam-
mers.
What do you think they are con-
sidering to do to Vesuvius - the only
active volcano en the European cont-
inent - a mountain 3824 feet high,
with a crater of 2296 feet in diam-
eter? They are talking about seal-
ing it - this to control its heat and
gases - to harness Vesuvius. The idea
is to drive tunnels, each 15 feet in
diameter, into the side of Vesuvius,
near the crater. These tunnels would
be lined with pipes made of heat -
resisting material, to tap and carry
off the gases generated in under-
ground furnace for which Vesuvius
is the chimney. These gases, enrich-
ed, would be used to operate engines.
It has been estimated by engineers
that the amount of Vesuvius energy
being wasted every year is the
equivalent of the energy' able to be.
extracted from a million tons of coal,
and since Italy lacks coal, this pro-
posed project of putting Vesuvius to
work has a great national appeal.
Already, however, the volcanic
steam which escapes through the soil
is used to operate Italian factories,
and an electric railway is driven, in-
directly, by Vesuvius steam as ob-
tained via the surrounding soil.
What man in all the world has to-
day the most outstanding personal-
ity? What woman?

TO THE FURTHERANCE
OF AG 1 E
C Founded and developed on the bash of helpfulness
WW to the farmer, the implement industry is entirely
dependent on the prosperity of agriculture for its own
success.
Through fhe years the implement maker has, with
quality of product and genuinely helpful service, won
the high regard and goodwill of the users of his product.
There are few farmerswho do not value sincerely the
service of the implement company.
Lack of understanding of some of the problems of
the industry may give rise on occasion to criticisms that
seek to detract from or disparage the part that the
implement maker plays.
in the light of the facts, however, misunderstandings
vanish and a better appreciation results.
Farmers' Equipment Investment
Greatly Reduced
Most of the discussions on prices of implements, compar-
ing them with those of years ago, for instance, fail to
take cognizance of the improvement in methods that
have taken place, resulting in the use of different
machines from those of a quarter -of -a -century ago,
The One -Way Disc Seeder has displaced, to a serious
extent, so far as the manufacturer is concerned, several
other machines, and it does so because it cuts the cost of
tillage and seeding by from 40% to 50%.
The small combine has spread the use of this method
of harvesting until the sale of them now almost equals
that of binders. And this because it costs only 26c per
acre for out-of-pocket expense to harvest with the
small combine as against $1.90 per acre by the Binder -
Thresher method—a saving of $1.64 per acre.
The wheat farmer can equip today with the latest
tractor and tillage and harvesting equipment at 28%
less than he could for comparable machines ten years
ago—equipment, too, that enables him to cut the costs
of his operations by over 50%.
This is the contribution of the implement industry to the
furtherance of agriculture and Massey -Harris takes pride
in having played an important part in it.
