' Ball Bearing: Long Wearing
The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been due- to the fact that the wants of the user have
dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor
of certain . improvements now incorporated in Model 8.
Among them are':
. Silence of Operation The most silent running efficient
typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence
has been very nearly attained, -"-itnu-w! ;
Decimal Tabulator A help in hitting and tabulating. '
There is no extra charge for this convenience. ' t
Variable Line Spacer Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space from point of starting ; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Faster Ribbon Feed Insures new place of impact for each
typeface. . . : " , ,
Choice of Carriage Return Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained
ball bearing carriage, typebars and capital shift, back spacer,
key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible
paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.

Orange
Those who lay in their stock of
Christmas cranberries will very like
ly pay less for them than the ones
who wait until the eleventh hour, and
is far surer of having that commodity.
Cranberries are inclined toward
scarcity and the price is very firm.
However, it is nrobable that the La
Grande dealers will have enough to
supply all demand. .
The Ibig -shipment of naval oranges
has not arrived and until it does the
consumer will not be able to buy a
very satisfactory orange. ,
Prices generally are unchanged to

inches thick, burst while he was ope
rating it. The ' wheel broke " into
three- pieces, one striking the cast
iron shield over the wheel, used to
protect the operator's eyes, breaking
the Bhield into splinters, while an
other piece of the wheel struck Mr.
Ray's forearm, inflicting ; painful

Manhattan, Kan., Dec 6. Use of
electricity on the farm for the sake
of convenience, safety or comfort is
urged by G. G. McNair, instructor in
electrical engineering in the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
"Twelve years ago farm lighting
plants were a novelty; today they
are rapidly growing in popularity,"
says Mr. McNair.
"They are usually operated by a
gasoline engine, but in the Eastern
States, and especially in the Appa
lachian mountains, it is not uncom
mon to see . water power used for
this purpose. Where the people have
water power the storage battery is
not used. '
"In every State where farmers care
at all for convenience one will find
a number of lighting plants. Some
farmers prefer the blaugas, actylene
or gasoline lighting systems, so that
they might utilize the heat, but there
is a certain element of danger in us
ing these systems.
"Plants, including engine, - gm
erator, battery and switchboard, can
be bought for $134 up. Such plants
are of very small capacity, will oper
ate only a few lights and must bo
charged every day."
Fire Escapes Ordered.
