Missing Cylinders Easy to Find Now
Among a recent invention of interests
to automobilists is a cylinder cut-out
switch, so designed that it can be ap
plied by any one to any typo of gas
angine. This invention made its ap
pearance iu Omaha only last week.
The object of the cut-out switch is to
obviate the difficulties now found in lo
cating a "missing" cylinder, testing
the delivery of the electrical currant
to the plug, tuning the vibratory coils,
burning the accumulated refuse from
the points of tho spark plug, etc.
One of these switches is joined to each
spark plug, and is so arranged that by
opening a switch arm the electrical
current on that particular plug is
broken, thus cutting out the cylinder,
Iu this manner it Is easy to determ
ine, In a few seconds' time, which cyl
inder Is giving trouble, and It Is not
even necessary to stop tho motor run
ning. Ex.
V. C. Mounts, local agent for the Brush
aulo, made a flying trip to Hay Springs
and back Sunday in company with Mr.
Cotcli, the popular jeweler at Holsten's.
Mr. Mounts also made another trip to
Hemingford and back in the same day
and was home at six o'clock. That's cert
ainly going some and the "little Brush"
did it easily.
Business Starts Well
As readers of the advertising columns
of The Herald are aware, Simon Spry
recently opened his barn on Cheyenne
avenue, about a half Mock north of the
Alliance Creamery for feed and sale
business. We wish to mention as a
matter of news that the barn has been
remodeled, reshingled, painted and
fixed up in first. class shape. The
yards in connection are the largest
private stock yards iu the city and
probably in northwestern Nebraska.
They are well arranged for handling
stock, and we are pleased to learn that
his feed and sale business ia starting
out well.

STRASBURGER
W. S. Hardison, Tom Moore, and Wm.
Strasburger all drove to Elsworth this
week for coal and other supplies.
With kind permission of the editor,
would say: We too, are much in need of
a good grocer, blacksmith and shoemaker,
and it would be nice to have a butcher
too. Lamb chops would be so good, and
a Porter House steak cut thick might save
our lives.
Strasburger public school term of six
months is to begin the first Monday in
October. We want an up-to-date teacher,
cannot pay more than $50 per month If
this is read by a good teacher, who desires
such a position better write to the director,
John Strasburger.
People are often horrified at any one
eating a piece bf good mince pie, such as
mother used to make, just before going to
bed; but some of these same people might
alter night retire with their hearts full of
hatred, malice, envy aud jealousy, Thank
you, 1,11 take the mince piel
Fred C. McMellan faithful mail carrier
between Strasburger and Spade, and his
brother, Harry A., late from Omaha, both
astonish the natives with the fine crops
they raise at Strasburger. They used
their plows, discs, harrows, and cultivators
and used them at the right time.
Mesdames. Kressler and Grumbine of
Chicago, sisters of Ned and John II. Stras
burger, after a three weeks visit in which
they enjoyed themselves immensely, and
made their relatives here very happy, left
Strasburger for their home in Chicago,
Wednesday. They liked Sheridan county
far better than they thought they would,
and were surprised at the good crops rais
ed in and around Strasburger. God gave
us our relatives, and we are thankful such
is the case; then too, we thank God we
may choose our friends.
Cards have been received from Irby
Hall, alias Alabama Jack, that he and
Cox, alias Kid Perry, put their horses to
pasture somewhere in Kansas and then
hied away to Louisville, Kentucky where
tbey had suits of cloths made, and via
railroad arrived at Collinsville, Alabama,
last Monday; We are quite sure they will
enjoy the hospitality of the Sunny South
again. Mr. Hall obtained a nine months
leave of absence from the government,
and will assist his father in the large mer
cantile establishment at Collinsville. Both
father and son are great capable merchants
and are as honest as they are capable.
The writer well remembers the delightful
hunting trip he had in Alabama a few
years ago, when ho and his better three
quarters took a trip to Florida, via Ala
bama how Irby Hall's father gave us one
of the happiest times of our lives, showing
us the beautiful scenery, brooks, springs,
mountains, trees, shrubbery, birds, etc;
how in the home, Mable Hall, the daught
er, gave us most excellent high-class music,
both vocal and instrumental, how we were
taken out for drives and a hunting trip;
how we bagged dozens of quail; how we
had 'possums, fish, guinea hens and quail
to eat, prepared as only good cooks know
how to prepare them. They were all
rebels down there, but they are wise
enough to know the war is over; and now
they with all right minded people do not
recognize Mason and Dixon's lines, or any
other lines, except the lines of right and
wroog. With them it is now no north, no
south, no east or west; but "Our Country,"
which we all know is the best on earth .
