Or interested in such subjects?
Do you know that in the St. Johns
library vou may find two of the
best intiRnziiics published along
these lines? Tiiev are the Anieri
can Machinist and the Engineering
News. Here is what hlbcrt Hub
bard says about them in the May
Philistine:
"An eminent civil engineer told
me that there isn't n contractor or
civil engineer in the United States
of any standing or ability who isn't
a reader of htiiniiceriiiK News. I lie
magazine is a textbook for the man-
initiators of eneriry. In order to
know what the world is doing and
saying they have to read the ?
cinecriiiK News.
"This is an age of machinery,
and the American Machinist is the
Uiblc of the man who produces ma
chines or commodities. The busi
ness of the American Machinist is
to keep the machine builder right
abreast of the business that is being
thought out and done in his own
Particular Hue. He is linked to
liis line; he is one of the great body
working along similar lines and the
American Machinist brings to mm
every week encouragement, Inspira
tion and assistance of a very pos
itive nature."
School Art Kxhibit Drawings

8th and gth grades and the High
school are now on exhibition. Some
beautiful pieces of design work done
in the High school are displayed in

you exhausted nml panting for lirenth when it's so
easy to stop him? The swinging breeze of an

electric fan, you can banish heat from the long
summer days, ut a cost so trifling?
Come in and see this wonderful fan.
