FROM HMD KANSAS An Interesting Letter From a Stokes Boy In the Far West. Haviland, Kansas, July 26. Editors Reporter : Please allow me room for a few lines in your most valuable paper. On Anril 24th. last. I left old Stokes for a trip out West. One of my first stops was at Cincin nati. 0.. and of course all of you who read the papers have an idea of the position the city was in at that time, as the waters of the great Hood had just gone down and the papers didn't exagerate any,in their statements only in the number of lives lost. While there I went up to Hamilton. 0.. one ot the cities that was damaged most. Now Hamilton is a town about the size of Winston-Salem, and was almost completely sub merged. I was told that there was only 2(JO feet of pavement that was out of water, and scores of houses were completely swept away and the owners left home less. I saw the water mark in the Union station and it was 1 t'eet o and inches. The cit\'s ioss was ijiIU.OOU.OOU. The Big Four R. R. out of Cincinnati was wash ed out l'or about IU miles. Large steel bridges were swept away and the rails were bent double as though they were only wire One can't imagine the situation as bad as it was. ,My next stop was at Indiana polis, Ind., another city that was damaged greatly by the flood. Irfdianapolis is said to be one oi tlfe nicest cities in the middle west. Its location is fine and is ben It on a circle in the middle of which stands the soldiers and sailors' monument, universally admitted to he the grandest achievements of architectual and sculptural art in the world dengned to glorify the heroic epoch of the Republic and to commemorate the valor and fortitude of Ind'.anas soldiers and saitors in the war of the rebell lO!lJ®HM other wais.

THIS IS THE NEW VISIBLE FOX " BETTER THAN THE BEST OF ALL OTHERS " Sent on Free Trial, Express Pd. Look at the illustration of our New Fox Visible Typewriter, shown above, and com- / eit with any other typewriter you have ever seen or used. Here is a really VISIBLE tyr : ter note that the printing point is on top in plain sight, and that the type bars rise fror ere they are lying and strike the platen in full view of the operator, and in a direct line c on, and that all of what you have written remains in full sight until the paper is remove om the typewriter. Compare this with those old style typewriters, tliat some firms ; till advertisirg as visibles, but on which the printing point is beneath the typebars, and y. ave to look down into them- or between them -to see what you have written. Touch a k\.v in the keyboard and you change the color of your writing instantly from black, blue, or purple to red. Press the Tabulator Key at the left (in front) for paragraphing, writing the compli mentary closing, etc.: also for all kinds of billing. At the right (in front* is our Back Space Ke\. This moves the carriage backward for making corrections, or putting in punctuation. This key also enables the operator to erase a word of three letters arid write one of four in its place. Press the Stencil Key shown at the left (front) for making stencils from wWich thousands of duplicate letters can he made. Four rows of keys reduce the shifting om& third. The right Shift Key locks automatically for writing in all caps. A positive automa*/ Line Lock prevents you from writing beyond a predetermined line. The ribbon travi' in a "zig-zag" line -not straight across from spool to spool as on others-thus using all of the ribbon and making it last three or four times as long as on other typewriters. The ribbon automatically re-winds itself from one spool to the other without any attention from the operator. Carriages are interchangeable, and run on ball bearing tracks. Platens are re movable, so that both a hard and soft platen can be used on the same typewi iter. Extremely light touch, "No falling leaf is lighter than the touch of the Fox Typewriter." Choice of Elite, Pica. Condensed Roman, Medium Roman, or Italic Type -we carry more than three thousand special type in stock, of our own mannfacture, and can furnish keyboards for any language. The Fox has an easy, almost noiseless action, is very durable, and is sent com plete with cleaning outfit and metal cover with hard «vood base. This is the Kox. the typewriter we manufacture— this is the typewriter that we will send to any one anywhere in.the t ailed States on I'ree Trial, all express charges fully paid—no "red tape"—no delay— no'obiinntion to luiy. If purchased after trial you can pay a little down—Whatever you can spare— and the halance in small in mthly payments. . ' header, ill all sincerity we can I onestly say this proposition lias never lieen equaled by any other typewriter company, and all we ask Is that you write us TODAY—NOW—ylvlnjr us your name and address so we fan synd you our catalog and write ,you personally about our typewriter and Free Trial offer.
