can absolutely depend upon to thoroughly 
protect your chickens and stock from damp¬ 
ness and draughts. 
Just see how well Pluvinex is made. First 
it is thoroughly soaked through and through 
with the heaviest kind of a water-proofing 
compound; then it is heavily coated on both 
sides so that air or water cannot even get 
through the surface, let alone through the 
inside. Finally a layer of soapstone is 
{ ilaced on both surfaces to shed water and 
urther protect the roofing. 
will send on request samples so that you may 
see how sturdy and well-made it is ; compare it with 
others and find how very low is the price we ask for it.

The New York Superintendent of Insur¬ 
ance was directed October 4 by Supreme 
Court Justice Pendleton to take possession 
of an insurance company that has been 
running an assessment concern for children 
for the last 23 years at 42 Bible House, 
New York, and charging from three to 12 
cents a month for death benefits of from 
$60 to $90. The company is the Work¬ 
men’s Children’s Death Benefit Fund and 
the Superintendent of Insurance asked per¬ 
mission to take possession because the com¬ 
pany has been doing business without 
authority and has been making an attempt 
to transfer its assets of $26,610 to another 
concern without permission. It has 33,692 
members in 224 local lodges. 
The North German Lloyd liner Prinz 
Friedrich Wilhelm took from the port of 
New York October 5 two full-grown Amer¬ 
ican bison bound for the big deer park of 
the Austrian Emperor at Shoenbrunn. The 
Emperor, who. it is said, has long been 
interested in this nearly extinct breed of 
animal, has decided to raise a herd for 
his park. Through agents abroad and in 
this country a splendid male and female 
bison were purchased for him recently. The 
animals were put aboard in large cages and 
two attendants will accompany them to the 
Emperor’s park in Austria. 
Prominent wall paper jobbers and manu¬ 
facturers in different parts of the country 
constituting the so-called wall paper trust 
were indicted October 5 by the Federal 
Grand Jury at Cleveland, O., on the charge 
of conspiring to restrain trade in violation 
of the Sherman anti-trust law. Among the 
prominent men indicted is W. A. Iluppueh, 
chairman of the New York State Democratic 
committee, manager of Gov. Dix’s political 
campaign and member of the State Public 
Service Commission. He is president of 
the National Association of Wall Paper 
Manufacturers. 
Fire in the lumber yard and planing mill 
of the Westchester Woodworking Company, 
the Bronx, N. Y., caused a loss of $60,000 
October 5 and for a time threatened to 
spread to the Catholic Protectory, where 
3,500 children are sheltered. 
James A. Witz was arrested at Buffalo, 
N. Y., October 6. on request of the Indian¬ 
apolis police, as ho is wanted there to 
answer an indictment charging him with 
grand larceny in a land deal. When 
searched at police headquarters $5,200 was 
found stitched in the lining of his vest, 
and the money was scarcely counted before 
an attachment was served on the police by 
local attorneys, acting for Fred S. Angel, 
of 42 Broadway, New York, attorney for a 
creditor to Witz in some New York deal 
in which he had secured a judgment for 
$5,000. Indianapolis reports that Witz was 
indicted for selling to an Indiana farmer for 
$40,000 some lands In Texas which could 
not be identified by the deeds, when the 
purchaser went there to make his fortune 
raising onions. Witz has operated exten¬ 
sively in real estate in New York and the 
Southwest. 
The town of Black River Falls, Wis., has 
been wiped out of existence by the rush 
down tjie Black River Valley of the waters 
of Lake Arbutus, the artificial lake created 
by the $500,000 water power dam at Hat¬ 
field, five miles above Black River Falls. 
The Black River runs through a territory 
largely given to farming, hut also very 
swampy in spots, and while the first esti¬ 
mates place the possible financial loss at 
$10,000,000 this figure is doubtless beyond 
the mark. The loss of life was said to he 
four, warning being given in time. Black 
River Falls and the Black River Valley are 
not alone the sufferers. Five counties in 
western Wisconsin are inundated. Rest 
dents of nearly 100 small towns, villages 
and cities have been forced to flee from 
their homes. Many of the scenes of deso¬ 
lation following the breaking of the Austin 
dam are being reenacted in Lacrosse, Jack- 
son, Eauelaire, Clark and Marathon coun¬ 
ties. All of the valleys have become filled 
with debris while the fate of many of the 
settlers in the less settled regions is a 
source of fear. Of Hatfield, the village 
at the dam, there is not a house or a hut 
left standing. The power plant itself is 
intact. October 9 the effect of the flood 
was seen in the Mississippi River, which 
had risen four feet in two days. 
The legal domicile of Mrs. Mary Baker 
G. Eddy, founder of Christian Science, was 
at the time of her death in Concord, N. IL, 
according to the rilling of James M. Mor¬ 
ton, associate justice of the Massachusetts 
Supreme Judicial Court, October 10. At 
the time of Mrs. Eddy’s death she was 
“temporarily residing” in Massachusetts, 
the court held. The decision is against the 
contention of Attorney General James M. 
Swift of Massachusetts that the inheritance 
tax should be paid to this State. This 
decision leaves as the only question before 
the Massachusetts courts the right of the 
Christian Science Church to receive under 
the will of Mrs. Eddy real estate held by 
trustees and exceeding $200,000 in value. 
The point at issue is whether the gift is 
not in conflict with a statute which limits 
Income to a church in any one year to 
$2,000.

The wasteful losses of any “gravity” setting system or poor cream 
separator are always greatest when the milk is often cool or the cows are 
old in lactation, and under these conditions, with butter prices highest, the 
use of the best cream separator becomes even more important than at any 
other season, so that a 
DE LAVAL 
Will Save Its Cost by Spring 
With any setting system you are wasting at least a quarter of your 
product at this season, with cream and butter values highest, while the 
superiority of the De Laval to other separators is always greatest under the 
difficult conditions of separation, particularly in the skimming of cool milk. 
Why delay your purchase of a De Laval until another Spring ? Put it 
in now and let it save its own cost meanwhile. And, as to that, you may 
either buy for cash or on such liberal terms that the machine will actually 
pay for itself. * 
You may prove all this by test to your own satisfaction. See the local 
De Laval agent or communicate directly with the Company.
