r. Beery and A. Hankison are
the two great pugilists of this
place. Both are said to- be of
hieromorphous stature and pos
sessing Herculean strength. So
one night last week they decided
to form ring and see who would
come off with flying colors. The
ring was formed, but they did
not fight. Hankison said his
hands were in a bad condition by
coming in contract with a mon
strous ''green brier" while
ploughing. When asked how it
happened he replied that his en-
ployer had sold one of the horses,
and so he substituted an OK in it's
place and they wouldn't "gee"
right. Beery said he had injured
himself the previous day by de-
scending from his flying machine
with rather lightening-like rapidi-
ty. When he was asked how his
accident happened he replied that
he forgot to flop.

FRAUD ORDERS FOR
GET |: H.QUICKS!
Postmaster General Bars the
Home Cooperative Company
from the Mails.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, April 27.A fraud or
der was issued today against the Home
Cooperative company, whose home Of
fee is in Kansas City, but which has
been doing a large business in Mime
apolis, Des Moines, Milwaukee and
other northwestern cities.
A fraud order was issued against this
company in June, 1908, which it unsuc-
cessfullY attacked in the courts and
then petitioned the postoffce depart
ment to have the order revoked, promise
ing to change the form of contracts and
in other ways comply with the depart
mental regulations. This petition was
granted last year.
Lately some question arose as to the
methods of the company and post office
inspectors were put on it's trail. 1t was
found that the company was operating
under the old form of contract and
that the Office expenses were consuming
all the revenues, thus making it i'm
possible for the contracts ever to be
carried out. This led. to the second
fraud order today.
The numerous fraud orders issued by
the postoffice department during the
past few months mark the beginning of
crusade against such institutions. All
over the country corps of expert in
vestigators is being put into the field to
look after them, and it is the hope
of the postmaster general that in a
short time all these swindlers will be
denied the use of the mails. The cru
SADIE has been begun with the knowl-
edge and consent of the president.

No Newfoundland Fishing.

When the senate killed the New
foundland reciprocity treaty last win
ter, it did not imagine that Newfound-
land could strike back, but it has. It
is now against the laws Of that coun-
try for American fishermen to obtain
bait there, and if an American vessel
is found within three miles Of their
coast, with bait, or supplies purchased
on their island, it will be confscated.
This will virtually put stop to Amer
lean fisheries. How much better for
Newfoundland to let us fish off her
shores and in return be able to buy
cur flour and golden grain belt beer
free Of duty. The beer, especially, is
cessity from health standpoint. If
you haven't a case at home you can
