WE WANT TO TELL YOU

Ii you will listen, and in Ian
guage plain and simple, without
variation or exaggeration that
we have been thinking of you,
and are continually thinking of
you. Whenever we walk, through
our different departments, we
are just wondering, and guess
ing too, that you will want a
set of dishes of the new line we
are just getting in. Something
that will not be expensive, but
will be very attractive, and just
such, we think, as you will want
to decorate your table. They
cost but a very little more than
the common white dishes, and
they are so nice that you will
take greater care in keeping
them. Every woman has a
pride in her home, to see that it
is little better each day, month
and year, and it matters not
whether it is cottage or a pal
ace, that home is just as near
and dear to it's occupants as
any on earth, and you can
make it more so by a little fore
thought, planning and system.
Don't you think it is about
time to come in and get some Of
our new Wall Paper or some
remnants and fix up the bed
room, the sittingroom, the
kitchen or the parlor. 1t will
not cost much, and you can do
it much better now than you
can later on. You can get any
style of wall moulding to match
the paper, and we have some
very nice pictures which we are
selling SO everyone can have
some, and if you have a picture
you are thinking of having
framed, why not bring it in now
and let us frame it, SO you can
have it to use.
We would like to see every
persons home pleasant, not only
because we're selling goods that
make the home pleasant and
agreeable to live in, but because
we realize that pleasant homes
make happy people, better citi-
zens, and nicer children. Make
the home pleasant and you will
attract the boys and girls to it,
SO they will not want to go to
some other home, or some other
place.
So don't you want a nice rug
Or carpet, set of chairs, sofa,
couch, curtains, sewing machine
Or washing machine, anything
that will lesson labor and make
life easier and happier.
Is it not a fact that on the
farm, and wherever you are
feeding the horses and cattle,
that the ground feed is the best?
Now if you will get a Grain
King feed grinder of us, either
for horse or steam power, we
think you will find it is labor
saving and money saving, be-
cause it is better for the animals.
We are always thankful to
our friends for what they are
doing for us, and we are always
trying to make it pleasant for
them and reciprocate by giving
value received at all times.
We would like for you to try
our Sampson windmills' and
towers, our Moon and Velie
buggies and carriages, our
Studebaker, Moline and Betten-
dorf steel wagons, and at all
times we should be pleased to
have you call and examine the
new things we are constantly
getting in, and see if there is not
some one or more of them that
you would like to have.
Yours very truly,
The E. R. MOSES Nero. Co.

entertained by the highest society in
this country and he had unusual OPP
portunities Of judging Of the people.
He saw life in many Of the most Re-
fined homes, and he still thinks us
peculiar and not altogether admirable.
Here is what he says at the outset:
Yet am going to ask you to behold
the American as he is. as [ honestly
found him-great, small, good, bad,
self-glorious, egotistical, intellectual,
supercilious, ignorant, superstitious,
vain and bombastic. In truth, so very
remarkable, so contradictory, so in
congruous have / found the American
that hesitate" He does not know just
where to begin in his description Of
such a remarkable people. Their SUI
perstition strikes him at once. One
and all were shocked at the Chinese
worship of idols and carrying them
through the streets, yet the writer says
he did not retort that his own people
were infants in the matter of supersti-
ton compared to Americans. He sums
up these peculiar superstitions which
he found SO prevalent over here and
really, they do seem rather appalling
when one comes to think of them. He
speaks Of the horror of thirteen at
table, breaking mirror, the picking UP
of dirty horseshoes by elegantly gown
ed women in the streets, and says: SIN

to assist the pupil in using words cor
rectly in speech, in oral reading and in
written composition. Its exercises COW
er wide range in both methods and
matter. Each Of the two parts is
planned to cover the work of three

of each part has been largely selected
from the text books used in the sew
eral grades. so that it includes the
words necessarily used by the pupil
both in and out of school, and the or
der Of their presentation is in harmony
with his advancement. The arrange
ment of the vocabulary is such as to
provide for the study Of related words.
The exercises include words phonetic

ed, drills on grammatical forms, pre-
fixes. sufiixes, synonyms, homophones,
etc.
