An "OId Horse" Sale.

The Pacific Express Go. held a
sale of unclaimed express packages
at Fredericktown ono day recently.
This stuff had accumulated at the
various Offices 10 this section of the
state for the past year. The Dem. :
News in speaking of the'sale, says:
All of the things brought a good
price. Charles Picker paid SO
cents for a bust developer, Ed
Psrringer paid S1.35 for little
hand salchel containing four nice
brick bats, John Budenholzer paid
As cents for a box containing a
razor and six cakes of shaving
soap. John LaPlant bought a
package containing watch, he
paid S1.25 for it, a nicely done up
package sold for 1926 and when
it was opened it wa found to con-
tain Republican campaign literature
and the look of disgu q ON tho pur-
chaser's face as he remarked ugh
l could have gone to the post Office
and asked for som ething to read
and got this much Republican lit
erature without it costing mo a
cent" was something worth seeing.
One young man bought a neat
looking package and when he
opened it found it to contain a yel-
low garter, big enough, he said,
to go around his waist; there were
boxes of patent medicines, pills,
worm candy, corn cure, freckle
and wrinkle removers. One of the
prizes that attracted attention was
box bought by a prominent
young man of this city, the box
was nicely wrapped and two seals
on each end, the young man paid
in the neighborhood of So for it
and when he opened it he found it
to contain bottle with a tape
worm in good state of preserva-
tion in alcohol.

We look back upon our conduct

we feel that freedom of clear con-

ledge of a duty done as we have
seen it. While we have attacked
the Democracy at all its vulnerable
points, our columns have been
kept clean of mudslinging politics

SNOWBALLS BROUGHT WATER.
Farmer Filled q Dry Well with Th e IN
and = Good supply Was
the Result.

"Speaking of drinking water" said
one of the group Of men waiting for
the shower to pass over, relates the
Chicago Chronicle, "the best l ever
drank was on my uncle's farm, down In
Brown county.
We lived on top of clay hill and had
we'll very deep, so feet, reckon;
but it never had any water in it until
ten years ago. A heavy snow fell that
winter and he filled the well with snow
balls. He rolled up balls until they
were large enough to go into the we'll
cIeverly, and then dumped them in
until it was packed to the top. They
were packed so closely that they did
not melt until late the following sum-
mer, but when they did they produced
q supply of water l never saw sur
passed for purity, softness or cool
ness. 1t was delicious.
"strange to say, this well, always
dry before, has produced . plentiful
supply since. The water, while not as
good as that from the snowbails, is still
excellent and celebrated throughout
