Quick Returns From Advertising

Last weeks issue of The Grit-Advo-
cate contained an advertisement OF
two horses that had strayed from the
Baxter camp at the Julesburg reser.
voir: the horses were the property OF
c. II. Conover, OF Osalalla, and with.
in less than twenty-four hours after
the paper had been mailed, Mr.. Como.
yer was in possession of his horses.
The horses were located west OF
town by l.. +. Loveland, who sent Sid
Huntly out for them and notified the
owner where they could be found.
This was quick return from ad.
vcrtising, and it proves that if you
have lost something, or if you want
something, it will pay you to adver-
tise for it in the local paper.

Julesburg Has Another Disastrou S
Fire.

The Julesburg NJ. f.. church build
ing was totally destroyed by fire early
Tuesday morning. The fire Originat-
ed in the baselnens-<,f the building
and is supposed to have started in
some debris near the furnace with
which the building was heated. A
meeting of the board of trustees of the
church had been held in the Sunday
school room Monday evening, and for
this reason fire had been built in
the furnace.
The fire was discovered shortly af-
! ter three O'Clock by o. 5. COrpe and
j. II. Law. who at once gave the
alarm. All persons having telephones
in their homes were rung up by the
central Office. and those who arrived
first at the church rang the bell. In
these ways nearly all the residents OF
the town were apprised of the fire be-
fore the building had been completely y
enveloped by the flames. However,
with only the facilities of bucket
brigade for fighting the fire, it was
utterly impossible to save the church
building. Neither was it possible to
save any of the contents. and for a
time it looked as though the home OF
B. Beatty, just across the street to
the east would be burned. BY hard
work and the fortunate changing of
the wind this building was saved.
The new parsonage west OF the church
did not catch fire.
The loss on the church building and
contents is about $500 90 These were
insured in the Church Mutual Insu-
rance company for $l50O 90. Arrange
ments are now being made to replace
the building with new and larger
one, and work will be commenced as
soon as possible. In the meantime
the court house auditorium will be
used for the regular services of the
church.
Every fire that occurs in town en-
pha the fact that the town is en-
tirely without fire protection. Some
day a fire iy likely to start in the bus
mess section and every building there
in will be burned to the ground.
Would it not be well to vote bonds
for /; water works system before this
possibility becomes reality?

class of people in the south are the
negroes.
The orange groves are beautiful and
profitable Many acres of groves bring
from $500 TO $500 per acre. Drouth Is
being overcome by irrigation. and the
soil enriched with fertilizes; some using
as much as 500 worth per acre.
one tree of oranges at st. Petersburg
last year brought SllS.00. Several told
me they had trees which brough 500
and $50 One man told me he was
offered last Friday $500 for one acre
of lettuce and had realized over $500
for another. But these southern men
get in about one acre, that is enough TO
keep him and that is all he does. He
would not cut the brush out of his door
ward but sits around until that was
marketed so he could put II into some
thing else. One man III Tampa last
year put iii seven acres of tomatoes on
extra ground, paid $500 for fertilizer
and got little over - 400 for the crop.
Strawberries are 30 cents a quart now,
earlier ones bring more but neither are
as good quality a. we raise in Michigan.
One southern man named Parish had
out 400 acres of tomatoes last year which
cleared him of all expenses - 900. This
year he has out coo acres and all grow
ing fine as we came by them on the
train. They shipped by express from ,

This all sounds well but there are
more failures than successes. Real
estate men say they sell the climate not
the soil. There are thousands of cattle
here, but poorest kind of feed and they
run wild in the wood \ three year-old
brings about $40 but they never feed
them. Hogs in all directions near town.
One about a year old weighs about 30 lbs

A DANGEROUS HABIT.
Cladstone's Physician Gives
Warning against a Grow
ing American Custom.


The growing habit amongst Americans
of taking a mint tablet or some other so
called digestive after eating a hearty
meal, is something that Sir Andrew
Clarke, Mr.. Gladstones physician
advises strongly against, saying. 1T is
absolutely dangerous to take into the
stomach remedies which are popularity
supposed TO aid in the digestion of food. "
There is nothing known TO the science
of medicine that can perform the work
of the human stomach. Drugs do not.
and cannot digest the food. They
simply decompose il. What can be
more revolving or disgusting than the
thought of taking something into the
stomach that is going to turn the good
food YOU have eaten into a mass of
corruption.

and its evileffects is to remove all irrita-
ton. congestion and inflammation from
the stomach, liver and intestines, and
Mi-o-na Is the only agent known that
will do this

WHAT PRICE MEANS
In BUYING A SEPARATOR

There are two most important considerations in
the purchase of Cream Separator One is efficiency
and the other life or durability
Every buyer thinks of efficiency and while
recognizing the superiority of the De Laval in such
respect is frequently tempted to overlook it because
some inferior machiue, claiming equal capacity, is
SO to S25 cheaper" in first cost
Few buyers stop to think of comparative life and
durability. The established life of De Laval ma
chine is at least twenty years and may he as much
The twenty years is already proved
On the other hand, as they are made today and
at the tremendously high speeds they are in the
effort to approach the efficiency of the De Laval
machines, other separator on the market can last
for more than two to ten years at the outside The
average will not exceed five yC ars Examination
alone will satisfy every buyer of this
The price of 10 to % COW De Laval machine is
S00.-and its established lifetime twenty years Even
if Just good in every other way the machine which
lasts years is worth $50 That which lasts five
years is worth S25 = And that which lasts two years
(and there several makes the market which
cannot possibly last longer is worth just SO
And when you add to this the fact which nobody
who knows attempts to dispute, that De Laval
machine gains and at least twice much every
year as any initiating separator it will be better
understood how little FIRST COST of the separator
really means rather HOW MUCH IT MEANS
even if it Is a little more to begin with.
De Laval catalogue or better still De Laval
machine itself helps TO make all these facts plain to
every body having for a separator and either is
to be had for the asking.
