THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, MARCH 22, 1900 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.

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.

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.

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.

The day is here when you can ex- amine the literary treasures of great libraries right in your own town or city - perhaps in your own home, or church, or school. This marvel is a consequence of what they call the microfilm. The pages of a book, or the faces of a manuscript, are photo- graphed after the manner of Holly - wood, but the individual photographs are very tiny. Then the microfilm is cut into a magnifying projector, and the images of the pages or of the manuscript are in this way made Mr. Butt himself -will act as general l to the Bay street branch, Toronto. overseer.

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. Have' the house up by April 1st. she saved her employers about $100,, Perhaps in your own home - or it 000 on the company's printing. may be in a friend's home - hangs If you ask, How did Mrs. Grew 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?

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.
