The Service Station of Civilisation Outside of those who deal in food, clothing and shelter, no other busi ness might be so aptly termed "The Service Station of Civilization". The variety of materials is almost innumerable. Because a drug store must carry such a tremendous range of things, in order to serve and pro tect the health of its community, and to afford its patrons every conven ience, it is impossible to carry a large stock of any one article. The amount of profit on any one sale is very small. The druggist if he continues to remain this convenient "Service Station of Civilization" must depend on many small sales of an in finitive variety of household supplies, medicines, toilet articles and other things. The utility of these "Service Sta tions of Civilisation" would be reali sed more if they should cease to exist, than they are now appreciated as a reality. The washing of soil from the hill sides by heavy rains during the winter months is one of the greatest losses the hill former suffers. It can be prevented by terracing and growing winter cover crops. If you have some hill land, better see your county agent "THE INDIAN WARWHOOP" (Continued from page 8) FOLLOWING THE BLAZED TRAIL It will be remembered that long ago, when white people first came to America; if a man was going on an unknown journey, he would break the bark of trees as he went along, ?o that other pioneers would be able to tell which road to follow. The first man was biasing a trail for others to perfect and follow. We have had the same paths blazed for us. Of course not in the same mannfcr but a way which has meant as much to us, as those did to the men in the seven teenth century. Let us first consider the life of that great inventor, who has blazed so many paths for us, Thomas Alva Edison. In the quiet little town of Milan, Ohio, Edison was born February 11, 1847. His father, Samuel, was of Dutch ancestory, the family coming to America from Amsterdam in 1787. His mother, Nancy Elliott, was a Canadian of Scotch descent At an 1 early age the ihlld showed great fond ness for reading, which was encour aged by his mother, who had been a school teacher. Like other active brained children, .he was always in quiring "how a thing was accomplish ed. "When the boy was seven the fam ily moved to Port Huron, Michigan. Here he was placed at school. He was always at the foot of of the class. His father thought he wrfs very stupid, but his mother, as all mothers are, was always kind and sympathetic. After three months of his days at school were thus ended, but the reading with his mother went on. Reading did not bring in money, and it was necessary for him to earn. In the early days of the Civil War newspapers sold well. He conceived the idea of having a paper of his own and buying some old type from the Detroit Free Press, he printed his "Weekly Herald" on the train, the first copy appearing Feb ruary 3, 1962. It was such a noveltv and so original that it soon had five hundred regular subscribers at eight cents a month and two hundred copies were sold on the train at three cents each. In four years he earned two thousand dollars giving it all to his parents. In one comparatively un ysed car of the train the lad was al lowed, besides his printing press, to have a laboratory consisting of tele graph apparatus, bottles of chemicals and several other things. As the car was passing over a rough road a bot tle of phosphorus fell to the floor and set the wood work on fire. The Scotch conductor was incensed over the accident and threw the boy with all his laboratory and printing press off the train at the first station. The arorst thing of all was boxing the boy's ears which produced permanent deaf ness in his right ear. In 1862 when Edison was fifteen years old he saved ' a child of two and a half years from being run over by a freight car. This child's father was station agent He was so grateful he offered to teach Edison four days a week, when he finished his work, telegraph operating. In three months he knew more about telegraphing than his teacher so he obtained a position receiving a salary of twenty-five dollars per month. He was so interested in telegraphy that he received a higher position with the salary raised to seventy-five dollars a month. He usually experimented by day and worked by night so in small, he lost his positions. When he was twenty-one his first invention was us ed by the Grand Trunk Railroad which was an ingenious device by which a single submarine cable cpuld be utilized for two cirucuits. He took out his first patent in 1869 for an electrical vote-recording machine. To his great disappointment the Mas sachussetts Legislature did not adopt it. After a time he connected him self with a firm. He invented several stock printers and private printing telegraph appliances. He was giv en forty thousand dollars for this. With this money he at once opened a factory at Newark, N. J., with a force of three hundred men. Sin* he left Boston in 1869, Edison invented his duplex system of telegraphing by which two messages can be sent in opposite directions over the same wire at the same time. This he sold to the Western Union. In 1874 he in vented the quadruplex system by which four messages can be sent over a single line, two in each direction. For this he received thirty thousand dollars. Edison had also perfected bis automatic telegraph system in 1873. In 1876 Edison moved to Men lo Park, New York, where he built a larger workshop, an extensive labor atory and a costly scientific library., In 1880 he obtained a patent for his electric lamps which he had stren ouely labored ovgr for months. In 1H78 Edison's first patent was obtain ed which was on a talking machine. In 1887 Edison invented the moving picture machine. Edison is now en gaged in what he considers the great est problem?the generation of elec tricity direct from the coal. He has f taken out about eight hundred pat ents. What a wonderful record for a man, we might any without a single advantage. This once poor boy, with great disadvantages, has blaied these paths for us. He means for us to try to perfect his work. To invent still greater 'things because we have so many advantages. He has taught us a wonderful lesson, "Perservance." Let us also take, for instance, Helen Keller. She was bom at Tuscumbia, Alabama, June 27, 1880. At the age of nineteen months she had a serious illness which caused her to become deaf and blind. Later her parents engaged a teacher, Hiss Anne Sulli van who has been her teacher from 1887 to the present time. Helen was so ambitious, she would not from the first allow her condition to keep her from knowing of the world. She went to Radcliff College in 1900 and graduated in 1904 after receiving an A. B. degree. She being the first and only girl of that condition to graduate from there. She has been a member and director of many prom inent organisations. She has contri buted editorials to some of our lead lhg^nagazines. Among them the Youth Companion, Ladies Home Jour nal, and McClures Magazine. She has written several books, among them, "The Story of My Life," in 1902; "The World I Live In," in 1908; "Song of the Stone Wall," in 1910; "Out of the Dark," in 1913. She also has appeared in a moving picture play entitled "Deliverance." If this girl, blind, deaf and dumb has gotten a college education and written books, why couldn't we do the same. It was very hard for her to under stand examples because she could neither see or hear her teacher ex plain them. Yet, she did. After visualizing the healthful lives of this man and woman, it seems easy for us to blaze a trail for others con sidering our opportunities and advan tages in this twentieth century. SYLVIA APPLEBAUM, "Sophmore." TUNIS ITEMS . Gypsies Steal Money Some excitement as well as amuse ment, last' Saturday afternoon, when a squad of Gypsies went into J. R. Wilder'a store and drawing his atten tion by talking, went into the money drawer, taking twenty dollars and left. Later when it was discovered that the money had been stolen by them, a call was sent to H. Taylor of Winton to take the road between Tunis and Cofield. They were taken into custody at Cofield and brought back to stand trial before MayOr D. F. Eure. One was fined $25 for tak ing the money; another was fined $500 for contempt of court.

Many Millians Lost Annually by Check Raising It hat been reliably estimated that from thirty to fifty millions of dollars are being stolen annually from bank depositors who do not protect their checks. It may never have happened to you?yet your next check may be raised. It is next to impossible to .write a check that is safe, unless protected with a modern device. Remember?that in these days, every class of cirme is con ?stantly increasing and an unprotected check is a dangerous asset No matter to whom you give your check it is not safe for it may be transferred to another party or stolen from the mail or get into the hands of a dishonest employee, who by using a few drops of acid or by clever pen changing can make over your check so that you would scarcely know it Do you know that your signature represents every dollar that you are worth? Is it not worth a few dollars of your money to protect it? Don't put this matter off anather day?but write for inter esting literature on check protection. It does not obligate you at all. A post card will do. We can supply you with any standard make of check writer or protecting device for half price or less. An attractive proposition offered to live wire local salesmen.
