In the public press, over our signature, we
tell you that the asbestos lining of ranges sweats
every time a lire is built. We tell you that this
sweat causes a range to rust out from the inside.
We tell you that plating the fire linings with
copper or aluminum or enamel can do no possible
good, because on the wrong side of the asbestos.
iji We tell you that a sheet of pure copper on
r' the cold side of the asbestos between the asbestos
!! and range body is the only way to prevent internal
j rust in ranges.
LET US PROVE IT
Come and See the Asbestos Sweat.
See the sweat standing on the iron body. Roll
this moisture up in beads with your finger. See the
same piece of asbestos sweat again as soon as it
cools, in 30 minutes or less time.
#
You will also see the sheet of copper between
the asbestos and range body. You will see the dry
air space next to the range body. You will see how
internal rust is entirely over-come by placing a sheet
of pure copper between the asbestos and range body.
You will see why Copper-Clad Ranges are so
named. You will see a range that wipes clean like
a dish; a range that is as free of hinges, catches and
Range Happy latches, as an automobile body. You will see an
ebony body framed in nickel, with not a rivet head
or screw head or bolt head to mar its silvery surface.

Captain G. W. Huff had the mis
lurtuiie lu iuse ms saw mm uy me ax
Simmons Switch Monday night. Capt.
Huff states that no fire whatever
had been at the mill all day, and it
must have been set on fire. His loss
is total and no insurance was carried.
Captain Huff had government con
tracts and had three cars of stock
ready for shipment, and part of it
already loaded, valued at between
three and four thousand dollars,
which is rather a hard blow to him.
Mrs. 0. W. Scarborough, chairman
of the Red Cross knitting unit, states
a shipment will be made on the 29th
of this month, and is announcing this
that all knitters will get busy, and
make this shipment as large as possi
ble. Jackson county’s quota by the
first of October is 720 pairs of socks,
and 240 sweaters. This means the
knitters will have to work as never
before, but Mrs. Scarborough states
that several new members have been
added recently to list of knitters.
Jake Grossman is in receipt of a
paper printed in New York City, in
which there was an interesting story
of an American born German, who
has been recently captured a spy in
the American army in France. The
young man, born in this country, and
living in Ohio, joined the National
army and was sent across some time
ago. No notice was taken of him
until at the time of his capture, ex
cept that he was an obedient soldier.
He was noticed on several occasions
to go to the rear of the camp, and it
was learned later, that there he met
who was supposed to be an old
French woman, but instead it was a
urerinmi wuinan to wnum ne was ue
livering messages and telling her of
the movements of his men and of the
American army. On one afternoon,
the young German, was off duty, and
said he was going into town. One of
his comrades, who was also his
friend, and while sitting in a coffee
room, this same old woman appeared,
and began begging for help for her
family. The German gave her a half
dollar and in doing so, dropped a
letter on the floor, which she picked
up. The young American was on to
it in a minute, and seized both the
spy and the woman, calling on the
large number of soldiers in the cafe
to help him. The letter contained
valuable information in regard to the
strength and movemennts of the
American army ■ in France. The spy
confessed that there were five
others in his company, and the wo
man accomplice was the wife of a
German officer in high command.
I General Pershing has asked President
; Wlson, so the paper stated, to be al
lowed to send both prisoners to the
United States.
