GEORGE RANDALL INJURED
AT EARLY MORNING FIRE
• -
Early Friday morning fire destroyed
the barn on the McEvony place about
two miles southeast of O’Neill occu
pied by George Randall. The contents
of the barn was removed before the
fire reached it. We understand the
fire originated in the hay mow. The
building was partially covered by in
surance. While the barn was burning
a nearby tree got on fire, burning off
a large limb just as Mr. Randall was
passing under it, inflicting a severe
scalp wound and cutting his back in
several places.. Five stitches were re
quired to close the scalp wound.
WILL INVESTIGATE OLD CITY
American Archeologists to Delve Into
8lte of Ancient Punic Strong
hold of Carthage.
While the world Is waiting with
bated breath for the complete revela
tion promised by Lord Carnarvon’s
discovery in the sands of Egypt, it
learns of the Intention of a number
of American supporters of archeo-'
logical excavation to expend a sub
stantial annual sum for ten years on
the investigation of the ancient Punic
city of Carthage. Ilnli historical and
half mythical, Tyrian Carthage—
which must not be confused with the
later and flourishing Roman city of
the African fathers, of the Donatists,
and of Rellsqrius—stands as no city
of sweetness and light, but rather ns a
type of the commercial and, for all
the splendors which poetry and art
have woven about its fabric, of the
commonplace and the banausic. Arche
ology, however, may correct this im
pression, though, when the spade has
performed its task, it may he ques
tioned whether, after nil, Carthage ns
seen through the eyes of Virgil, Tur
ner and Flaubert does not yet present
the more entrancing spectacle. Despite
Sehlelmann, the Scean gate Is still
nearer to us In Homer than in the
ground plan of HIssarlik, and Aga
memnon’s palace is still rather to he
sought in the pages of Aeschylus than
on the modern site of excavated My
cenae. But we would not underrate
the spadework of scholars, or Its re
sults. What was Crete, with Laby
rinth and Minotaur, but a myth a
short time ago? What is it now if
not Plato’s Atlantis regained?—New

GUTENBERG BIBLE FOR SALE
Said to Be Finest Example Left of
First Book Printed by Me
chanical Means.
From Leipzig comes word that the
copy of the famous Gutenberg Bible,
which Is said to be the finest example
extant of the flrBt book printed by me
chanical means, Is on the market, to
be sold to the highest bidder.
The Bible for years has reposed In
the Leipzig museum of books. Its sale
at this time is forced because the mu*
seurn Is unable to continue Its exist
ence without new funds to cover Its
cost of maintenance.
This copy of the Gutenberg Bible was
presented to the state of Saxony by a
Dresden collector. The state, In turn,
vested the title In the Leipzig museum,
and this institution, at the present, is
prepared to pass on the heritage to the
highest bidder.
Artists of Germany, Including Max
Llebermann, LquIs Corinth, and others,
are attempting to raise funds to cover
the deficit and save the book for Ger
many. The value of the Leipzig Bible
Is practically beyond appraisal. One
copy, in bad condition, was sold in 1911
for $500,000. *A11 other examples
known are damaged. This Leipzig
Bible alone Is a perfect specimen, und,
for that reason, Is most highly valued
of all these exnmples of the early
printing art. •

This is our offer: To all who join
our HEAT|ROLA CLUB before
August 12th we will give absolutely
FREE ONE FULL. TON OF
COAL. The club fee is $2, which
applies on the price of the Heatrola.
The balance is payable in easy in

made at any time specified by
the purchaser.
All over the country, Heatrola dealers are
making this offer on a limited number of
Heatrolas and for the period from July 22nd
to August 12th. Last year so many people
waited for cold weather before ordering their
Heatrolas that the factory was swamped with
more orders than it could deliver. To pre
vent this congestion this year is the reason
for this very attractive special offer.
Installed in one of the living-rooms, the Estate
Heatrola supplies moist warm air to all con
necting rooms, upstairs and down, just like a
furnace. Beautifully finished in grained ma
hogany enamel, it looks like a handsome cab
inet phonograph. Beautiful enough to grace
any parlor, in its handsome form and rich
grained mahogany enamel finish.

book of letters testifying to its heating capaci
ty. Read—not claims we make, cr the manu
facturers make, but what people who have
Heatrolas say about this new-day heater.
The Heatrola heats by circulating warm,
moist air — not by radiation. It is just the
thing for small homes, bungalows, stores,
offices, etc. —with or WITHOUT BASE
MENTS. And it is economical. With the
fuel needed for one stove it will do the work of
a furnace. It is easy to keep clean. No iron
to black, no nickel to polish. Just rub it and
dust it with a cloth, as you do your furniture.
Join our HEATROLA CLUB now.* The
number of Heatrolas offered is limited, and the v
