The remainder of the property will be utilized, for the present, as a parking lot, which will greatly relieve the parking problem on Main street. According to Anderson, severai offers have been made him for store buildings on the remainder of the lot, but he has not contracted with anyone as yet.

Prehistoric Shavers of Metal; Copies of Flint The early Egyptian razors were of metal, and it is plain that they were close copies of the older flint ones. In the Early Dynastic period (about 3000 B. there was used rectangular razor with four bevelled edges. An older form, found in Late Predynastic times, gives the appearance of a broad, doubleedged knife with a short tang. Most such razors seem to have been sharpened only on one side; for example, the specimen found in the tomb of Queen Hetep-heres.

In Europe, at a date comparatively not much later, states a writer in Pathfinder Magazine, razors had a long blade with slightly concave sides, and a strange indentation at the lower end. The most reasonable explanation of this indent is that it was used to allow the forefinger to feel the skin while one shaved. In Western Bohemia, about this time, the blade was broad and double-edged, with an openwork handle cast in one piece with it. During the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age (about 1000 B. the razor, in Upper Italy at least, again assumed the rectangular outline.

The early British razors were shaped like a maple leaf. There was a tang projecting from the base of the blade to take the handle, and often it was continued downwards by a midrib along its face. Tea, Coffee as Beverage, Traced Back to 350 A. D. The use oft tea a among the Chinese, from whom it has extended to all parts of the world, cannot be traced with certainty any further back than to 350 A.

D. or approximately that time. This use did not become general in China until about the ninth century. Tea was introduced into Europe by the Dutch in 1610, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. How long coffee has been used in Arabia, its native country, is not certainly known.

It was introduced into Egypt in the sixteenth century. The first coffee house in Europe was established in Constantinople in 1551. The first person to make it known to western Europe seems to have been Leonhard Rauwolf, a German physician, a great traveler. Once introduced, the use of this beverage spread rapidly. Coffee houses sprang up in all the chief cities.

The first one in London was opened by a Greek in Newman's Court, Cornhill, in 1652; the first one in France was opened in Marseilles in 1671; the first in Paris in the following year. Finding Happiness Big pleasures and great happiness are but many little ones bound together as a loaf is many crumbs in an aggregate. True happiness is the art of finding joy and satisfaction in the little privileges of life; a quiet hour in the sun, instead of a far-away journey; a little outing in the nearby woods, instead of long trips away; an hour with a friend instead of an extended visit to relatives; a few pages of a book instead of hours of reading at a time; a flash of sunset, a single beautiful flower, a passing smile, a kindly word, a little thoughtfulness here and there as the day slips by-these are the crumbs of happiness. Do not despise them, lest when the evening finds you, you be hungry and disconsolate and unhappy. Sir Launfal, after traveling the world over in search of the precious cup, found it, you will recall, in the hands of a needy beggar at his own Unknown.

Royal Wrestlers France's king, Francis twentysix, and England's monarch, Henry VIII, twenty-nine, met in 1520 the "Field of the Cloth of Gold," upon between Guines and Ardes, for the most expressive wrestling match ever held. A gorgeous palace was especially erected for the occasion and furnished with gold dishes, gilt furniture and rarest ornaments. The most beautiful women and distinguished men gathered in magnificent dress. More than 2,200 sheep and other viands in similar proportions were prepared for the feasting that followed. Altogether $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 was spent upon a bout at which nothing was at stake and entrance was free.

Neither of the kings was a good wrestler. President Andrew Johnson Andrew Johnson was elected vice president in 1864 and became president upon the death of Lincoln, April 15, 1865. He was impeached in 1868, and his trial before the Senate began March 13 and ended in his acquittal on May 26 of that year. He had been spared by one vote, and continued therefore to sit as president until the inauguration of his successor, Grant, on March 4, 1869. Three Logs Coat of Arms The Isle of.

Man in the Irish is known everywhere for its Manx cats that have no tails, its romance celebrated by Scott in his "Peveril of the Peak," and for the "Arms" of the isle, which consist of three legs. Folk lore students think that the early Manx sea robbers brought the coat of arms or legs back with them on one of their trips to the Mediterranean. DEMOCRATS The future of our party is at stake. President Roosevelt has wrecked the finest platform ever drawn up by the Democratic Party. He has repudiated its pledges and has forgotten its name.

He and his advisers boast they are "New Dealers," not Democrats. Roosevelt has abandoned you and your party as lightly as he would like to abandon the Constitution which he swore to revere and uphold. For your party's sake you should VOTE to repudiate the wreckers of Democratic principles of government. Wreckers who take their advice from pinktinged Tugwells, Frankfurters, Dubinskys and Hillmans. Wreckers who advise the President who recently wrote urging a Congressional committee to ignore the Constitution.

Wreckers who are taking your money and throwing it recklessly around. Wreckers who, ignoring the platform Roosevelt said he would support FOR the doctrines of Stalin which they have embraced, have long delayed recovery in this country. Yet from March 4, 1933, to June 30, 1936, the fabulous sum of 000,000 has been squandered while eleven million are still unemployed. Hundreds of the foremost leaders of the Democratic Party have "taken a walk" in protest. They believe their action shows loyalty to the Democratic Party rather than disloyalty, since they will be voting November 3 for AMERICA and its age enduring institutions and liberty.

The Democratic Party will be a thing of the past if Roosevelt and his "New Dealers" are re-elected. You cannot continue to spend $2 for every $1 you take in without soon facing 'disaster. The future of the Democratic Party may be preserved and rescued from the wreckage only by repudiating those who have repudiated you. Party loyalty demands you defeat the un-American profligates in Washington by voting for Landon and Knox and candidates for Congress who will support these nominees. "Look At Spain and Vote Like Maine" Constitutional Democrats, 1061 Market San Francisco Pontoons and Ballast to be Added to Iron Boat The "Fort Bragg Clipper," Paul Bohn's boat of destiny, was launched last Thursday in the Noyo River and, while not living up to the expectations of her builders, proved that five tons of scrap iron, put together by hand, would float.

The launching was scheduled for 10 a. m. and promptly at the appointed hour, Paul and his companion donned their swimming suits. and, with Paul on the boat, his companion started letting it into the water. The Clipper was on wheels and a runway had been built into the water.

A home-made winch had also been made and Paul's companion used this to let the boat into the water. Everything went along nicely until the boat entered deep water and then some real action started. The boat left the wheels and instead of floating right side up, as planned, it flopped over on its side, and Paul had all he could do to keep out of the water. A line was made tast to the boat and helping hands from the shore tugged mightily to right the but to no avail. A fishing launen was pressed into service and towed the Clipper up the river to the Standard Oil float, where it was made fast-for a time---but when a leak was discovered in the stern, haste was made to "un-fast" it and tow it back to the beach.

The leak was not serious, however, and has been plugged. In an effort to make the boat seaworthy, the builders are putting in an additional two tons of concrete for ballast. They are also putting pontoons on the side, to keep it afloat, and a second launching will be made in a very short time. Frank Vail, Pathe cameraman. was here for the occasion and shot better than 800 feet of film for his company.

Advance notice will be sent here tor the release of the film, and Manager Frank Burton of the State Theatre, has made rangements to the film shown in the local theatre.
