Burlington connection at Clearmont, and furthermore that it has not pro-, provided for proper facilities to take care of its patrons. * Records of the company are said to show that during the brief period it has been in the business it has not been making expenses. Its system is only 28 miles long. While in the north Mr. Floyd also took occasion to investigate a com- plaint signed by about 250 patrons of the Sheridan Street Railway company and charging discrimination in the interurban rates between the mining camps at Carneyville, Monarch and Model. A reduction in the rates is asked for. Hearing on the petition probably will be held at Sheridan March 24. if Mr. Floyd expects to be relieved of his duties some time next month. At the end of his term he and his family will return to their old home in Sheri- dan. eS PEACE REIGNS AND THE P. M. FAN IS ON JO B (By ted Preas) | MILROY, Ind. (By Mail.)—De- claring that he believes he has solved the problem of perpetual motion, Ollie Ray, a young mechanic, today stated that he is willing to give a demonstration of his any reliable authority. Here are some of the things Ray says his invention has done. -Started a bicycle wheel from its own power, ga speed. Maintained this high speed for six weeks-without the aid of any outside agency except lubricating oil. In addition, enough additional power was procured from the wheel to run spools from a line shaft. Ray declares the wheel would be running yet, had he not stopped it at the end of six weeks, having con- vinced himself that the thing was workable. For fear the idea might be stolen, he tore down the model but says he could construct it again ‘within a few hours. Ray recently was mustered out of the army, having served as a me- chanic on the coast guard defense at Ft. Hamilton, Dixie Doughboys Are Partial to Farming (By United Preas.) COLUMBIA, Tenn. (By Mail.) — Zack to the farm is no imaginary movement among the soldiers in the A. E. F., if letters received from many Tennessee boys now overseas are to be taken as accurate indica- tio! ores of these soldiers have writ- ten to relatives and friends asking that provisions be made for them to farm this year. One officer who was not a farmer before going to war has asked his father to have ready for him when he returns. Others who shunned farm work be- fore going to France seem to have caught the fever and are asking for land to rent or buy. Practically every man from this section who farmed prior to entering the service has gone back to tilling the soil upon being discharged. It is thot that the intensive method of the Europeans will be adopted by the soldiers when they return, there- i ncreasing the production of Tenn- essee farms. REBATE LOSS ON NEW HOME (By United Preas) LONDON. (By Mail.)—The gov- ernment has decided to — subsidize building in an effort to reduce rents and relieve congestion in London.

Some of them they capture. How many get by un- detected is problematical. Not a night passes without leaving its tale of exciting races thru the @ark. Any- where from one to four wrecked auto- mobiles are found in the ditches by the road, saturated with their ill- fated cargoes. Practically every weapon known to <j is to be found jarsenal. Clubs, revolvers, |rifles, blackjatks, knives, shotguns, rocks, slugs of iron and bottles are used. Officers peering into freight cars jin search of contraband have been |pounded with clubs, beaten with blackjacks, stabbed, shot at and otherwise discouraged. Booze run- |ners often smuggle themselves and! their goods into freight cars, under | pales of material in the hope of evading detection, and always fight , with every weapon at hand to escape arrest and jail. ‘PIG-MINDER, BEER-CARRIER, PIP-MAKER & FAGEEAKE SEEK ARMY OISCHIRGES (By United Press.) . LONDON, Feb. 4. (By Mail.) — invention to ‘Qnion peelers and cat teachers are | essential to British industry. An onion peeler, high in the ranks of his profession, and one of the most eminent cat teachers in the ining a high rate of |\entire British army are authorities | for this. They have applied for dis- charge from the army, stating their joccupations, setting forth their ex- {pertness and their importance to in- dustry, and requesting that industry be not unduly handicapped by their longer retention in the armed service of His Britannic Majesty. Another empire builder whose im- portance to industry apparently has been overlooked describes his pro- fession as -that of “expert pig minder.” He asks immediate release, jlest British industry find his longer absence in the army insupportable. He speaks for himself only, but the that the entire (natural implication is body of pig-minders in the armed service will have to be discharged forthwith, that in all things the pigs may be minded. An expert beer-carrier also clamor: | for return to industry and civilian life. He sets forth that effeciency of the British smelters is being greatly reduced, owing to the fact that the laborers are forced to do their own beer carrying while the nation’s expert beer-carriers are wasting their time carrying rifles. Employers and the ministry of muni- |tions have recognized the trade of beer carrying even during the war. |A beer-carrier gets $15 a week at |the smelters, the employes furnishing |the salary. An expert is one who can carry most of the beer outside of own person, spilling but a negligible |quantity down his throat. Several face-fakers have applied 'for early demobilization, jtheir occupation is essential to the iwellbeing of large classes of society A face-faker, in London parlance, is one who paints out black eyes and otherwise changes the appearance of a countenance. The services of these gentlemen are said to be much in demand by robbers, murders, deserters, all-round-crooks, and other general purpose undesirable. An extraordinary number of pip- makers also crave opportunity to do their share in the great reconstruc- tion. Pip-making is a subsidiary of the jam manufacturing business. The expert pip-makers, most of whom are women, turn out great quantities of |wooden seeds to put into raspberry jam. Englishmen call these seeds pips. They also call the stuff the wooden pips are mixed up with, rasp- berry jam. It is made of sticky ma- terial, well flavored, that passes ad- mirably for raspberry pulp when it has plenty of well made wooden seeds mixed with it. Naturally, jam con- sumers have been pretty much up |against it during the war, the supply of wooden seeds being much restrict- ed by reason of the presence of so ‘ar, except poison gas and howitzers, | in the smuggler’s| alleging | wife | | doubled within the past decade, i —_—_—_———_ 1 } | pany. ‘bringing about better express service. | murmur. 3 f | Agent E.
