CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER
NEW LONDON, MINNESOTA.
That WONDERFUL CHURN!

I wantsto add my testimony to the
list of those that have used the Light
ming Churn. 1t does all that is claimed
for it; you can churn easily in one
minute and get a large percentage
more butter than with the common
churns. l never took the agency for
anythingebefore, but so many Of my
neighbors wanted churns that order
ed 30 and they are all gone. I think
in a year every GARNER will have a
Lightning Cnurn, in fact they can't
afford to be without ont as they make
50 much more butter and. q good little
bit OF money can be made in every
township selling these churns. By
writing to } F: Casey Co., St.
Louis. Mo-, you can get circulars and
full particulars about the churn.

positively that the name of Lyman J.

bank of Chicago is being considered by
sPresident-elect, Mckinley for secretary
of the treasury: Prominent men. who,
while they did not say they came at
the suggestion of the president. elect,
but yet who were known to represent
him, have visited Mr. Gage. and asked
him if he would accept the position in
case it was rendered him. Mr. Gage
was gold Democrat, but supported
Mr.. Mckinley. Regarding these ru.
mors MIR Gage said:
: IF l have been appointed secretary
Of the treasury it is complete surprise
to me only hope the report is un.
true, for the. financial considerations
involved in accepting the position
would not be favorable ONE do
not know of any one who has gone to

any degree OF self-complacency with
the skirt binding frayed or dragging.

People who board can undoubtedly
save money, but they lose that feeling
of home which is after all the very
essence OF life.
Some of the dolls purporting to be
exact reproductions of the real baby

Juvenile parents into fits.
How much like a prison van Is the
enclosed smoking car with its seats
running lengthwise and its barred

This is her only safeguard against

that she must take three times day.
