Every one of our manevfacturers who exhibited at the world’s fair were given the HIGHEST Awanps for superior merit in the manufacture of boots and shoes. Were the world’s fair judges wrong?—Hardly Another matter which pleases us even more than the awards of the “world’s greatest fair” is the decision of our custom- ers. Those who bought of us last fall are buying again this fall and sending their friends to us. This is proven by the fact that our boot and shoe sale for September increased 10 per cent and October sales 24 per cent—over corres- pommg months of last year and November bids fair to show a still larger gain; and yet others are talking hard times.

Such behavior on the part of half grown boys does not spesk | well for their manliness or raising and a repetition of their ugly con- jduct may get them into trouble. | A stop should be put to these ex | perts of Kansas City coming to this | county periodically and killing |quails and chickens.

It is right and proper | that the farmer should allow ordina- ry sportsmen to hunt on their farms jas they do little or no damage to game, but they should, and ought! |to draw the line when these experts | came along with good dogs and guns | and virtually leave no birds for seed. | | While talking to Dr Boulware | jthe other day about the two homes | ia Summit township made sad by | the death of three children from} diphtheria, the doctor said to the | |reporter. If oue of your children takes the diphtheria, as soon as you | find the child has the disease make | it drunk. The doctor added. I have never lost a case that I could! make it druuk. In cases of dipbthe- | ria the whisky acts the same as in @ poisonous snake bite. I have given achild 7 or 8 years old .enough whiskey to make two men drunk be- tfore the drug took effect. The patient will not remain drunk over | five or ten minutes. Remember! said the dector a little whiskey will do no good, you must give the child | enough whisky (diluting it a little) to make it drunk.
