Are you interested as a good citizen of Concord in seeing things worth while in your city? If so, let us rally to the op portunity we now have, and secure the big Redpath deluxe program for next season. Mr. “Bill” Wright, the Redpatli representative now in our city, says it~ may be a long time before Concord will have another ehdnee to secure a place in this big de luxe circuit, because only a limited number of cities can be visited each season. Only three or four cities will be added for next year, Gastonia be ing the first to sign up last week. Concord being the only other city in North Car olina to be given this opportunity. A well known editor snid, “It is true of every community that lias a Redpatli program, that they leave a community better than they find it. The Redpatli programs bring out the best in one, makes one better satisfied with his community, only more determined to brace himself for the struggle mid for greater effort. It inspires one's divine nature, cultivates one's best impulses, stimulates one’s love for music, art. poetry, for children—fog home, for Ills Creator. . The Redpatli helps him to renew his youth, to laugh away his troubles, his peeves and his prejudices. It gets a man out of himself, out of his rut, and sends him or her back to their daily task refreshed in mind and spirit.’’ Any community is a better community if its people will drink in the inspiration and stimulus of a Redpatli program, which always contains the best in drama, music a H d lectures.

London, Oct. 23.—An invention has been brought out by a British pilot which it is claimed will have the effect of lessening the risk of a vessel running aground in shallow water or in fog. In the bottom of the ship is a small win dow of very thick glass, through which a searchlight throws a strong beam of light on to the bed of the ocean. Above the window is a gate valve which, if the glass should get broken, could closed instantly to prevent flooding. Towards the bow of the ship is a gun metal chamber open to the sea at the bottom, containing a tube which can be moved from the inside. This tube is direeled on to the point of light cast by the searchlight on the bed of the sea. and the angle it has to make a hit this spot is recorded. (iiven the exact distance along the ship's keel between the searchilght win dow and this tube, plus the angle which the tube has to make with the ship (the searchlight shines at a right angle) a simple calculation will work out the length of the searchlight's beam. And so the captain knows the precise depth of water in which he is sailing. When perfected, this new depth finder is ex pected to eliminate the difficulties of sounding, and will tell the captain his depth in any condition of weather. Must Register For School Bond Election.
