 SPEED 



By that we mean in order to make a perfect, 

 easy working apparatus does not involve 

 alone the perfect bearings, but the way the 

 power is developed by the gear. Our gears 

 are so constructed as to get both power and speed and accomplish both with 

 least mechanism and a certainty of endurance. This is the kind of apparatus 

 you are looking for. Get our prices.

Current Comment. 



The school gardens were inspected July 

 31 by President Butterton, Alex. Mae- 

 Lellan and David Mcintosh, the three 

 forming a committee appointed by the 

 Horticultural Society for the awarding 

 of prizes for the best gardens in the city. 

 At the Lenthal school there were seven- 

 ty-five gardens planted and cared for by 

 the children. These gardens, without ex- 

 ception, reflected great creilit on the 

 children and on the teacher who had 

 oversight. In some of the gardens there 

 were as many as fifteen varieties of vege- 

 tables and as many more of flowers, all 

 grown well. Three gardens at this school 

 were awarded the prizes, after other gar- 

 dens had been visited. The school gar- 

 den idea is certainly a good one and 

 one that should be put into practice 

 wherever possible. 



At the last meeting of the Horticul- 

 tural Society the schedule of premiums 

 for the September show was adopted. 

 This show will be a big one, as evidenced 

 from the fact that the schedule contai^is 

 seventy-seven classes. Dahlias will form 

 one of the main features, with a class 

 for commercial growers exclusively. 

 There will be a valuable cash prize for 

 a collection of new seedling dahlias and 

 a medal for the best new seedling cactus 

 dahlia. Table decorations will be promi- 

 nent and so will fancy baskets of flowers 

 and centerpieces. A novel feature of the 

 show will be a contest for the best mini- 

 ature flower garden. Several society 

 ladies have intimated their intention of 

 competing in the class for table decora- 

 tions. R. R. 



Fairmount, III. — Guy Omstead was 

 recently adjudged to be of unsound mind 

 in the county court and ordered taken 

 to the asylum at Kankakee for treat- 

 ment. 



Gkneva, III. — John W. Lietzau has 

 purchased some adjoining property, so 

 as to allow room for the development of 

 his business, and is planning extensive 

 improvements. He is tearing down the 

 old buildings and has begun work on 

 a range of new greenhouses fronting on 

 First street and extending down the 

 street from Stevens street, a distance of 

 300 feet. Since his arrival in this city 

 two years ago Mr. Lietzau has built up 

 a large business.
