Some rather amusing features have
grown out of this fight between the
comptroller and the council. Before
there was even breath Of anger to
f0rewarn an innocent public that the
dogs of war would soon be let slip. Cal
derwood sat himself down in his rev0lv-
ing chair and began to think. Finally
he evolved scheme. He would make
believe that the county owed the city
some money, which would never have
been discovered but for his eagle eye.
He called in his friend Nimocks, he of
the ferret eye and the wizard express
sion.
"Charley." said Johnny, "the county
owes the city money-at least | think it
does. which is the same thing. We must
get it,"
johnny" said Charley. ''we'll get it.
I'll set my faithful sleuth hounds of the
Dual City Collection Bureau after 'em.
I'll get my stuff. anyhow, and if we
don't get anything from the county
We'll have made good bluff"
Then both gentlemen slapped their
thighs. said it was "go0d thing"
slapped their thighs some more, laughed
and separated. Charley set his sleuths
to work. Johnny looked wise and said
little. Then came a showdown, and
Condit, who had said nothing nor even
smiled, walked away with the pot.
Charley got 81, 600 out of the deal, Johnny
got abuse, the city got bill for $4,000
needless expenditure, and the public
got amusement.

Here's a Kite String for you, Boys.

It will require 5000 tons Of twine to bind
the grain crop of this country this season,
should it be an average crop. Every pound
should measure about 600 feet. Now, boys,
suppose you had all this twine for kite,
I,O6O,GO6 1924 miles. That's right.
The kite might 60 up ont of your sight an
surprise the man in the moon. Some OF this
twine is very good and strong, made OF Ma
nilla and Sisai, and some of 1t is 80 poor We
fear it would fail you just at time when the
kite was highest.
If You want perfectly safe and sure string
get that made by the Deering Factory, which
Is made Of the best fibre, in the best manner
and is Of great strength. and induce your
father to buy this for his harvester, and il
will serve either his purpose or yours and
make both Of you happy.

The many friends and associates of Miss

death which occurred yesterday morning at

unmarried. Her funeral will take place Fri

loving sister, true and devout christian, will
be silently laid to rest, free from this world .

HOW to Keen Cool.

Our harvest is here and so is the warm
weather, hence it will be Of interest for
everybody TO know how they can best keep
cool. One important item is not to get e1-
cited or become angry. Now there is moth
ing which annoys and worries man more
than to have good reaper and mower or for
that matter, machinery of anyIkind, and to
use poor machine oil. Saur & Balsley hav e
anticipated this fact and have bought and
placed on sale very large stock of the best
and finest machine oils which the market af-
fords anywhere at prices 60 low that when
the wearing qualities are considered it makes
them cheaper than anything of the kind ever
before sold in this market. Try one-half
gallon and If it fails to give satisfaction
your money will be cheerfully refunded.

specially of chronic diseases and diseases of
the eye and ear, and as their success in the
treatment of these diseases is becoming

France is an educated physician de voted to
his profession and fully conscious of the
great responsibilities involved in the prac-
tice of medicine. Regarding reference to
patients cured, they never under any circum-
stances whatever give the names Of patients

justly sensitive on such subject. Consulta-
