SELMA SUE WRITES
70 MRS. PERUNA HART
Advises Her to Do Her Christmas
Shopping With the Merchants
Who Advertise in the rleSsen-
ger-the Peoples Paper.

NV dear Peru: hear as how
You have an heir at your house now;
With all my heart wish you joy
God bless the darling little boy.
My rheumatism hurts me so
That to your house cannot go.
But am sending you today
BY the mail carrier going your way,
A set Of blocks for the little fellow,
All done in green. and red, and yellow
Each block a lesson does impart.
And he should learn them all by heart;
An alphabet that does comprise
The now Hill merchants who advertise.
And use the MESSENGER to tell
The people what they have to sell.
This is no alphabet of Greek.
But yet tits something of freak,
For it is made up of four C's'
Five HIS. one J, three Ms, two P's.
One S. 7, V, and W;
And this is what you want to do:
Teach him to differentiate
And drill into his little pate
The shape of HIS and Of O's.
And tell him to mind his Ms and P's,
So that he will not want to go
To Corddry's for some calico,
Or yet TO Cottinghams for hams.
Or round to Clogg's or Cuff for CLAIMS
Q is for Cottlngham, p. d. and Co..
But Mr.. Powell and Will are the men
who make it go;
Just look at their display of cut glass.

Values on western range cattle

settlement of the strike puts more
encouraging aspect upon the situa-

season. We look for pretty liberal
receipts of westerns from now on

ers who have been holding back on
account of the strike will undoubt-
eddy send their stock forward freely

doubt be well supplied with west
ems we do not look for any great
advance but think there is a good
prospect for some improvement over
the present range of prices. Where
stock is in good flesh and ready tor
shipment we do not advise holding
same back and think it is all right
to ship anything that is in fair beef
condition. Among our sales today

ARE You RICH,

When is a man rich? Is it when he
has half section farm, worth 5000,
or when he commands a 5000 salary,
or when he owns big store and does
a business of $4,000 year, or when
as capitalist he cannot spend his in
come? None Of these. Any man Is
rich who Is contented and who Is in the
enjoyment of good health, who has the
respect Of his friends and neighbors,
who can earn enough to pay his way,
keep square with the world and care
for his family. His calling may be
lowly one, his income small, his infu-
ence limited, his name unknown out
side the community in which he lives,
but still he is rich, the possessor Of q
sort Of wealth which time can never
tarnish or the misfortunes of life rob
him Of. There are some very poor
men who are rated among the million
aires, for they have none of these
things.

TWO WASTES,

There are two wastes which may be
noted on most farms-one a waste by
erosion, the teaching of the soil by
melting SHOWS and summer rains,
which rob the soil of it's best and
most fertile components This is espe-
cially noticeable on all rolling and
billy lands. A frequent rotation Of
clover on such fields will do much to
prevent this trouble, and when planted
to corn the planting should be so done
as to avoid giving the water a direct
descent down the slope. Another waste
which 1t seems hard to avoid is the
great growth Of weeds in cornfields
after they are laid by and In grain
fields after the crop Is removed. There
are plenty Of good farms on which the
weeds produced are more exhaustive
to the soil than are the crops. These
are the farms where man is trying
to work too much land, and the real
value Of a flock of sheep in connection
with such farms is not appreciated as
1t should be.
