America has a population of 55,000,.

attention of cigarette smokers to the fol-

Is there a conspiracy of silence" between
the county seat "organs" regarding the coun-
ty advertising?@N. p. Mirror.

gans," except what falls into the hands
of the Sheriff, and the question you ask
is a very foolish one.
The County Commissioners have agreed
to accept the west end of the Eaton and
Dayton turnpike, from the Eaton Corpo-

In spite of the crusade carried on by ell |
derby me- with conservative ideas, the |
facts remain that cigarette smoking is on
the increase. During the last fiscal year
l ,31O, 556,212 cigarettes were consumed
in this co%untry--an increase of2o2 ,212, 1l2
over the previous year. And in proper
ton as the cigarette is consumed so is the
small boy. Cigarettes may not greatly
injure a full-blooded man, but they stunt
the urchin and the dude.

see the fair this fall Guido all former eff

A few years ago buttermilk was con-
sidered a useless article, excepting in
the making of breakfast cakes. People
never thought OF drinking it, and farm
ers had no better use of it than to give it
to the hogs. Nowadays, however, things
are changed, and buttermilk is viewed
in a better light. The farmer no longer
throws it into the pig pen, but readily
sells it at sweet milk prices to the towns
