At Atlantic City, Iowa, on May Z,

convicted Of deceiving the people by
selling worthless compound, which

Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa, making
stands of day or more in each town
and representing himself as an agent
un.ter salary from G. l. Hood & Co.,
and selling his connection at one dol.

each sale various other worthless ar
tlcles. Citizens of Griswold, Iowa,
became suspicious and ascertaing
from a druggist that Ailor's COM
pound was not Hoods Sarsaparilla,
but merely eolored water, had him
arrested. Three indictments were
fclnd against him, the jury convicted
him after only thirty minutes DELHI

A POPULAR SHOE STORE.

When a store is popular and has been popular for some 30 odd years it is natu- ral to look for the reason of it.
 For more than 30 years has Robert sons shoe store been the popular shoe trading center of Litchfield bounty, and increased competition has apparently only made it the more popular.
 The reason for it is not hard to find, anyone living within trading distance of the store can tell, the reason is found in the fact that Robertson will not handle trashy goods, sells reliable footwear only and at prices as low as quality is high :; at all times willing to refund purchas- CTS money when wanted.
 It is easy to understand how such q store's quota of customers deservedly grows larger each day.
