New York Clothing Co. at Kellett-
vile calls your attention that their salo
is yet going on, and such values as they
offer were never offered by any store
keeper. Whether you are in actual need
or not it will pay you to call on them to
examine their line of Clothing, Skirts,
Furnishings, Hats and Shoes, and their
prices will attract you, as you have prob
ably never had such chance to see goods
quoted so low. Take advantage of that
offer. New York Clothing Co., Kellett-

"a man was caught out IN snow
storm and in order to protect himself
crawlsd into hollow log. While the
storm ragged he began to think OF what a
good man he had been, and Of all the good
full OF enthusiasm that when he went TO
extricate himself he found that he was
wedged in so tight that he could not
move. Try as he might, he seemed
doomed to die in that old log. AS he lay
there thinking of his past life, sudden
thought passed through his mind that he
had not paid the local editor for six years,
and he felt so confounded small that he
crawled right out of the log."
Lyman Cook OF Nebraska had an ex-
perience last Thursday which he is not
likely soon to forget. He was plotting a
log raft over the dam at that place, and
when the raft struck the choppy swirl be-
low the dam it went to pieces, and Mr..
Cook was thrown into the water. The
swirl carried him round and round for
some time, and he had hard work keep
ing his head above water. Others came
to the rescue and succeeded, after repeat
ed efforts, in getting a board to him,
whereupon he coolly announced that he
was all right now. Only "Lymes" cool
headedness and ability as a waterman
saved him from watery grave.
Grove City has such scourge of the
roots of trees planted to beautify the city
that the council is taking steps to remove
it. Several years ago tree agents induced
the citizens to plant poplar trees because
of tn beautiful shade they would give
the streets, and so enthusiastic were the
people that more than 800 trees were
placed on the roadside. Now the roots of
the poplars have grown to such an extent
that they are lifting stones in sidewalks,
making walking perilous, forcing their
way into cellars, even through cement
floors of Easements, and are clogging
private and public sewers, thus endan-
gering health. The council is considering
how to stop the scourge of roots and the
councilmen say that the only way is to
cut down all the trees and kill the roots.
This will probably be done.
