You have often seen the phrase—"“Give her a Hoover and you give her the best.” : It 1s time you knew exactly why TKe Floover is the best. - v The Hoover removes more dirt per ininute than any other cleaner. [t gets the embedded caked grit—the most destructive dirt in floor coverings —which ordinary cleaning methods fail to remove. ' - Its beating principle. “Positive Agitation,’’ which accomp%lshes this, is obtainable in no other cleaner. : ' - These are but a few of the reasons why The Hoover unquestionably ranks first. Your Christmas Hoover may be purchased ou convenient terms; only $6.25 down.

Limit to Train Speed . Under Best Conditions

When railway beds have been made as nearly perfect as possible; when the lines bave been straightened and as far as practicable leveled, and when the best types of locomotives and cars have been devised, how fast will steam be able to carry us? An answer to this question, based on a scientific examination of the conditions involved, is furnished by an authority on facts relating to raillroads. Cme hundred miles an hour is about the limjt of speed suggested. Another -very limportant question growing out of the' first Is: Within what distance can a train running 100 miles an hour, or but liftle less than 150 feet a second, be stopped? ‘The reply is that under the most favorable conditions a distance. of nearly ‘half a nile would be required. £ train running a mile a minute can be stoppedd, it is estimated, within a distance of 900 feet. By adding only two-thirds to the speed, therefore the distance required for bringing the train to a standstill would be increased almost three times. ‘ It is evident that when we are whirled across, the country at the rate of 100 miles an hour “a clear track” will hecome a far more important necesslty even than it is today. ‘

Widely Varying Ideas ' of Things of Beauty

Ways that are not our ways always seem funny, “Clvilized” visitors to Papus, New Guinea, says the New Orleang Times-Pleayune, . are quite moved (o laughter at the fact that in that “benighted land” dogs’ teeth are used as money. It used to be the same when our own folks here In Awerica found the “absurd” Indians carrying strings of shells (wampum) as a meditm of exchange. In bhoth these exotic cases the money tokens also were regarded as things of beauty and worn as such by the females of the species and sometimes by the more esthetic of the males.

But, after all, is it.any more laughahle to regard dogs’ teeth as beautlful than 1t Is to find charm In elephint or walrus tusks? Yet. Ivory, especially carved ivory, has been a civilized treasure perhaps since clvilization began; not only ivory, but even plain bone, And how about our civilized admiration for turtle carapaces and the esteem in which we hold the shells of the pearl oyster and the esthetic vogue of the conch shell cut up and worked Into cameos? After, ail, is not “clean as a hound’s toeth” one of the popular metaphors?

Hardy’s First Emplyoment.

The iitustrious Thomas Hardy started his business career as an architect. He wus associated as an eniployee with Sir A. Blomfield at 8 Adelphi terrace, London, the house new occupied by the British Drama league. To commemorate his association with the house, a panel has been placed in the library with this inseription: “Thomas Hardy, O. M.” The first floor of 8 Adelphi terrace was formerly the office of Mr. (afterward Sir) A. Blomfield, and here Thomas Hardy, aged twenty-two to twenty-seven, was in his eniployment as an architect in the years 1862-1867. Here he saw the Thames embankment being built and wrote some of the poems that were to be published many years afterward.

Instinct of an Insect.

A wasplike insect, called the ichneumonda, has a tail llke a slender hair from & horse's tail, with which it drills threugh wood with this hairlike drill and with such accuracy that hits the spot “where wood-boring larvae lle buried. The drill is hollow, and down this hollow tube is shot an egg which ilves on the wood-boring larvae .

Just how these insects know where to bore with such unerring accuracy fs a mystery, but it iBS of great economic value, as it destroys many Insects harmful to agriculture.

" His Chance Small. ; A -comuercial traveler calling upon a new customer produced by mistake a snapshot of his flancee instead of hig business card. “That’s the firm I represent,” he said. - The customer examined the somewhat determined-looking features of the young woman and returned the photograph with the remark: “I'm afraid you'll never be manager of that firm |”"—lLondon Tit-Bits.

: Wasn’t Fooling Wifey. ~ The golf professional was giving his wife a few lessons. He was a very goodlooking fellow, and an interested crowd of girls gathered round to watch. “Now, dearest,” said the pro, audibly, “you hold the club like this; and then, sweetheart, you take up your stance like this; finally, darling. you hit the ball like this.” “That’s enough,” snapped his wife. “You're not trying to teach me-—you're trying to attract a few clients.”

Pitcher Proverb. “The pitcher goes so often to the water that it is broken at last.” This is the form in which the English prov--erb is generally quoted. It belongs to the common folk sayings of several nations. Its most famous expression in literature is in Cervantes’ Don Quixote: “So many times the pitcher goes to the fountain!” Meaning that it gets broken. But the same proverb Is found four centuries earller in a French writer, Gautier de Colnel, : AR M TR SRR 7 Notice of Liquidation Notice is hereby given that Citizeng Bank, Ligonier Indiana is now in liquidation, pursuant to a vote of ite shareholders. ! : Dated, this 6th day of Decembelu 1028 , : | .
