This society was incorporated in July,
1902, by a hundred of Shawnee county's
wide-awake citizens to do a general
mercantile business. A grocery was
opened at 623 Quincy street and has
steadily grown in favor. A large trade
has been built up until now the direct
ors feel that the time has arrived to
open another department, SO we are
adding a complete and up-to-date meat
market. In the near future we hope to
operate a general department store, and
establish branches throughout the coun-
ty. This will be done as soon as the
number of members will warrant it.
We invite you to join and help make
it a great success. Remember we pay
8 per cent on share capital, and return
all profits to the members in proportion
to their trade

That Is Trouble That Missouri Pacific
Is Having

According to the complaints now
coming in to the state board of railroad
commissioners, the Missouri Pacific is
suffering more from lack of engines
than from a lack of freight cars. J. NJ.
Mosely, of Dillon. writes to the board
that even after he secures cars and gets
them loaded he cannot get them hauled
away He also sends a letter from a
Kansas City commission firm stating
that the Missouri Pacific has several
hundred empty cars tied up in its yards
in Kansas City but cannot send them
out for lack of engines
F. w. Schmidt. of Leroy, also COM
plains to the board that it requires from
one to two weeks to get freight to Le-
Roy from Kansas City over the Mis-

,ist is shown by quoting few exam

Every one writes soles. sprats, lam.
phreys, anchovies, the singular form
rarely. if ever, doing for the plural
but no one would write mackerels

hand considerable uncertainty exists
concerning the form of the plural OF
