I INTERESTING FACTS | England’s coastline is 2200 miles long. Chinese fishermen paint an eye on their boats to enable the latter to see their way. Web to the length of two and a quarter miles has been drawn from the body of a single spider. Marble carvings in Athens, dating from 500 R C., depict young men playing a game like our modern hoekery. The American Indians are probably descended from immigrants from Asia byway of Alaska and the Aleutian islands. The lookout man on board the the world’s largest liner, is 180 feet above the water level, and see for fifteen miles in every direction. Pekingese dogs, which were Trst introduced into Great Britain after pie sack of the summer palace at Peking, when some were brought as presents to Queen Victoria, have a history dating back more than 1000 years. The great wall of China is the earth’s most impressive landmark. Winding like a gigantic serpent for thousands of miles over mountain crests and narrow gorges, it once served as a defence against the Mougol hordes from the north.. It is easy to distinguish a planet from a star because a star twinkles and a planet never does except when it is near the horizon. Also, planets are brighter. They are nearer the earth and their light is reflected to us like the moon. Stars are fixed bodies outside our solar system. Will Crow in Cromwell Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. John Swenson and Mr. and Mrs. John Kauffman were Goshen shoppers last Thursday. Mrs. John Kauffman, Mrs. Charles Dull and Mrs. Jasper Grimes are visiting with relatives in Louisville, Ohio.

THE J. B. HOWARD COMBUSTION DEVICE WITH THE DAMPER BACK OF THE FIRE POT HAS MADE THE HOT BLAST AIR TIGHT FLORENCE famous, burning the cheapest soft coal or slack with the same regularity and cleanliness as the burning of gas, heating five or six rooms in zero weather or 20 below and maintaining a steady heat day and night, requiring filling morning and night only.

It makes its own gas and burns it and makes its own coke and burns it, inthe burning of the cheapest soft coal or slack. THE DAMPER BACK OF THE FIREPOT is the means of burning the cheapest soft coal or slack with the same regularity and cleanliness as the burning of alas, and will heat three times the space at one-third the cost of any other heating stove burning coal or wood. zTHE DAMPER BACK OF THE FIREPOT regulates the heat in burning coal or wood the same as a key in burning gas. THE DAMPER BACK OF THE FIREPOT can be set to whatever degree of* heat is required, maintaining a steady heat day and night, and only burns coal or wood according to the amount of heat required. THE DAMPER BACK OF THE FIREPOT eliminates the soot, dust, dirt and clinkers that must be putup with in using all other heating stoves.

THE DAMPER BACK OF THE FIREPOT prevents puffing in the burning of soft coal or slack because it burns the gases that cause the explosions.

WHERE A WOMAN KIDNAPS* THE MAN OF HER CHOICE Among the Gavos tribe of India a common East-Indian custom is reversed. Instead of the bride pleading unwillingness to marry, the groom plays the role of the one who does not wish to wed, and who is forced into submission. From the very start the Gavos woman plays the part of the wooer. She calls at the house of r.he man of her choice, and "pops the question” to his mother. The ■t other then negotiates with the father and her son, telling them what the would-be member of family offers in pigs and 'per for a husband. Woe be to the young man who •efuses the heart of a Gavos maiden! It is considered a great nsult, and he must pay for it in is many pigs and as much beer is the young woman demands. But if the young man accepts the heart of the woman who 'oves 4 him there is muph rejoicing and great preparations are made. Everything must be “just so” when the “cave woman" carries her supposedly unwilling ■atch to her hut. Rich gifts are prepared to appease him, and a* great feast is made ready. When the appointed day arrives the bridal party sets out trom the home of the maiden with as much noise as possible, md make their way to the home >f the young man. He is warned of their approach, which is a signal for him to run and hide. When he is finally found he makes another pretended attempt to escape, but is carried away by the men of the party if his “cave woman’’ is unable to manage him. All along the way to the bride’s home the groom resists until he is nearly exhausted by the time he reaches his destination. Great grief is shown by the parents of the groom. They weep loudly all along the way because of the actions of their unruly offspring. Sometimes their grief exhibits itself in such loud bursts of sorrow that the Gavos bride must bribe them to be less boisterous by offering more beer and pigs. If they play their cards well, the wedding of their son brings them much of value. After the wedding feast, the groom, with a great show of unwillingness, permits his parents to go home and leave him in his new abode. Then he prepares to resign himself to whatever life his captor bride has planned for him. o The man who shows some enthusiasm in keeping out of debt will get along somehow.

OSBORN & SON

JUSTICE TO ALL PERSONS In spite of the controversy that has been caused by the action of Attorney General Daugherty in securing an injuntion to restrain certain action by organized labor, it is probably agreed that liberty is not something for an exclusive class. The constitution of the United States does not guarantee to one class of persons any privileges which may not be claimed by another class. The law does not recognize that one person may commit acts which constitute violations of law in the case of another. When a group of workers quit their jobs for any cause and then refuse to permit other workers to take their places, they are plainly acting outside the law, and they violate the basis principles on which liberty is founded. No persons can be permanently injured in their just demands by yielding to the guidance of the law in all cases in which they may be involved. Every citizen has an obligation to consider the interests of others as well as those of himself. There is considerable agitation these days against the rule of law, an effort being made to substitute the will of groups for the orderly processes that made for the interests of all classes. It is a dangerous thing to do, and it will be well if the government, by appeals to

THE TROUBLE WITH ALL HEATING STOVES DEPENDING UPON A FRONT DAMPER Two tons out of every three tons of soft coal go out through the flue and are wasted, besides the accumulation of soot inside the stove and pipes, which is the means of dirtying the house inside and outside. One hour the stove is too hot and the next hour it is cold. When the weathe/is zero or 20 degrees below zero all doors must be closed, forcing the family to live in the room, where the stove is. Every' little while coal must be put In the stove because it has no control. Three times the amount of ash is made, which means more dirt in the house and more work. In all heating stoves depending upon the front damper to regulate the heat there is danger of puffing and explosion when the stove is replenished ■with fresh fuel When the stove gets red hot the metal expands. When it gets cold the metal contracts, which warps and burns out the stove in a few years, besides the constant expense of repairs. *fhe Florence Stove Will Be J ust as Good Twenty-five Years From Now as It Is Today.
