tpatlal roprawDitativa of the me
chanical . department of tha com.
pany, ' with headquarter In Port
land, "where all tha coal comes In
by water, the coal Is stored on the

for that purpose, and, as the coal
Is on the water all the time until
required for use, there is little

easily handled In case of flra. Unit
Is why our yards look so ragged.
' .- New Locomotive Devices.
"We are now just Introducing a
few labor saving dvlcea on our lo
comotives," continued Mr. l'erley,
"which will be a great savig, so
far aa actual labor Is concerned.
'This huge device Is the 'Duplex
Stoker,', each one costing about
(22,000, but the saving In fuel anil
labor offsets the cost. We, have 40
contracted for, and could use twice,
that number, had we the time nnd
necessary men to Install them.
Under the old system a nidn
had to work hard to put in three
tons of coal an hour,, and sweat to
do It, while this new device, is cap
able, If need be, of handling seven
tons an hour, and all the, fireman
has to do Is to regulate the slides

Cause Of Coal Shortage.
Referring to the question of coal
shortage 'again, Mr. l'erley sold
that It Is due to lack or trans
portation facilities, as well as coal
cars. "But," he said. "It will lie
hard to convince the general public
of that fact next winter, and that
Is why tha government at Washing

BEST LOVED ENGLISH POET
Thomas Hood Made Hla Reputation aa
, Humorist Wrote Clever ,
' ' Verse.
Thomas Hood wns prohnhly one of
the, best loved of the English poets and
humorists, though often classed among I
the "minor English poets.".: But every
one knows his "Song of the Shirt'
which brought out forcibly, though
poetically, the wanted life and early
death of the overworked women, the
unfortunates of the poorer classes. His
"Bridge of Sighs" Is equally effective.
. These ore mimed aa his best works,
yet his reputation was made as a hu
morist, lie wns the son of n book
seller, born In London. His father died
when he Was young mid 'his mother
.l .a Tntl..U,n .h.u n'l.M.na
studied under a delightful old vicar.
He tried to become a clerk, but such
after his return to Ids beloved London
he was made subeditor of the London
Mugazlne. : i r ;
This position brought him In contact
with all the brilliant men of his time.
DeQuIncy, Charles Lamb and others.
Later ho started the Comic Annual, In
which he caricatured the people and
events of the day satire done so deli
cately and cleverly that the events ho
made fun of will live solely because ho
made them of Importance. '
. The Inst of Ms life wus spent on a
sick tied, and It was during this period
thnf he wrote his two famous serious
poems above mentioned. ,
Garden Memories.
Our present joy In growing things
grows deeper, as color and fragrances
of our actual garden blend with colors
nnd fragrances from long ngo. ' Wood
bine over :1 tho rnfters takes on the
semblance of In petite chambro verto
In 'Normandy whero we lunched one
September noon many years gone by.
. . . In April the clear crimson of
our tulips brings back those plucked
wild on hills near Florence In long
vanished spring sunshine; nnd the lit
tle plnk-tlpped daisies that border the
lied make one see ngaln those In Al
pine grass, high on the great slopes
above Iusnnne, with the glory of the
lake, and Savoy, nnd Mont Blanc
spread nut before; those In English
meadows In sweet, ehllly early sum
mer. , What associations come on the
breath of lilacs, or lllles-of-the-viilley,
or n few sprigs of blossoming helio
trope, recalling nn almost troplcnl riot
of color In a great bed of heliotrope on
the shore of Ijike C'omo, with every
soft shade of lavender, deepening to
richest purple anil a cloud of ninny-
tinted purple ' butterflies hovering
above. Mnrgnret Sherwood.
, ' Respect for Speed.
Human respect for Rpeed depends
chlelly upon Ihe method of locomotion
that Is employed. Human legs nrf one
thing, a bicycle Is another, an automo
bile Is nnother, and n railroad train Is
another, while nn alrnlnne Is "still
something else ngaln." All these have
their measures of supremacy as estab
lished by the records, hut In Sneaking
of speed In nn uhstmct sense "a mile
a minute" will probably never lose Its
rhetorical force. That rate Is about as
fast as any rational human being
wants to move when he Is on the level
of mundane things. For him It repre
sents the iirme of speed and always
will. Flying, of course. Is another mat
ter. That gives a man a sense of re
moteness which makes the speed seem
less terrific.
A Test of Time.
Another way In which a man can
tell when he's getting nlong In years
Is by noticing whether a reference to
the veterans of 1S sounds nt all funny
to him or not

I Resident of Newark, Del., Buffered a '
(Shock tile other, afternoon when two !
well-known young women appeared on
I Main street wearing ankle watches.
j l here were several narrow escapes
from accidents when, drivers of auto- ,
mobiles forgot their wheels in the ex-1
cltelnent of the moment. ' .
Nearly every store door nnd window !
held a rubberneck and repeated calls i
of "What time Is It?" but the young j
women did not seem to mind, In the
least the furore they were raising.
TI)oy were nearly and attractively I
dressed. They wore low shoes, with j
black silk hose, the watches strapped
to their trim left nilkles. One old resl-
denter who got n closer view of tho
watches remarked: - :
"Well I be r I have read of j
such things, hut never saw It before,
and right here nt home." .

Mr. Grain Farmer:
' Are you prepared to handle your grain In bulkT Do not
wait until Sprftig and Summer when you are burled with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class '
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for
years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and sewing sacks.
The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy la
among them.
Spend your money in your own valley by baying lumber
manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of tha
money goes to India. . -.
BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW
Be prepared by building them before the farming season
opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber.
Save money keep what you spend at home pvevent loss
and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our
boys in the trenches; help win the war by building gtanariet now.
Portable granaries of this type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma
terial for one granary. Kor particulars as well as pricei on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
