past year, .Japan has bought
Jjs>4M, 020,297 worth of goods
from the American manufacturers,

that she is not only great in war,
but wise in commerce.
It is reported that some capital
ists up at Cincinnati are going to
to build a big automobile and J

candidates for the oiHceof govern

presumed that the intention is to

rious parts of the state. Opin
ions vary as to the proper time
for opening the campaign, but it
appears that the tour will begin in
the early fall and continue, with
intervals, till the following March.
WHERE IS BRUNDIHGE?
There are persistent rumors that
Stephen lirundidge. now congress
man from the Second district, is to
enter tin* race for the senate in op |
posh ion to Senator 1 Jerry and < iov
ernor Davis. Davis has asserted
h> much, and it. is said that after
Hnmdidge begins his light. Derry j
will w ithdraw and throw his whole
strength to the congressman. How ;
much of this is mere idle gossip is
not known. Drundidge is going
to ave a hard tight to secure the
nomination for his present position
and perhaps he thinks that as long
as there is such a hard tight in
prospect-. In* might as well go after
the larger plum. State Republican. 1

AIR BRAKES TO BE REQUIRE!*
The interstate commerce com
mission is about to take steps to re
quire all railroads engraved in in
terstate commerce to increase the
minimum percentage of air brakes
used on freight trains to as great
an extent as conditions of equip
ment will permit. The commiss
ion has become impressed with the
danger attending the operation of
freight trains in which an insuf
ficient number of cars are equipped
with air brakes, operated by the
engineer. Recent accidents in
volving loss of life and property,
caused by the “bucking" of
freight train the rear cars crowd
ing forward upon those in front
when emergency applications of air
have been made on trains partially
:iir - braked, have demonstrated
that such trains are not, actually
under the control of the engineer,
as is required by law.

The David Bradley Double Cam
Steel Hey Press
is the favorite because it is the simplest press ever made.
You can’t beat it. It has all the strong points, will put lull
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out of order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. lust a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. But they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let’s talk this matter over. You can’t tell all
about the David Bradley Press just from the picture.
