II is a good plan never to run your

II takes nerve for a widow with chill

Many people seek their own good and
then persuade themselves that 1t is for
the good of others.
Doctors hate each other rather fierce

A good woman thinks less OF herself

Surplus OF Hinder Irvine.

The prison twine plant has about
100000 pounds OF binding twine on
hand. II was unable to sell all OF Its
product this year. Ex-Warden Jewett
says that several things contributed to
the matter. One was the advance In
price OF Irvine. The trust gave very
liberal terms and the farmers bought
more OF II than usual. Another was
that more farmers used headers this
year. Still another was that the board
refused to sell twine outside the state.
The plant is now in full operation,
and the board is sure II will be able to
dispose of the product next year with
out trouble.
