POLITICS

is in the air, and Is a great sight hot ter than the atmosphere at times. But it's comical to see the same old gang with few recruits all sbobbing up serenely and hugging the. curb stone and talking in undertone only when they get excited. That's the time they show themselves in their true light. They actually forget where they are and say things about the ''other fellow" for an honets fact, yet know down deep in their hearts that their utterances are as false as any set of teeth ever made by the dentist. Of course people of this stamp are not built right. Their brain is either twisted or has been diminished somewhat on account Of the poor drinks they partake of dur ing the summer evenings. Now, during the summer months tea and coffee should be served at your. colla- tion three times pertday, and if. you want a palatable drink between times or in the evening, remember we sell buttermilk cents per quart, or if you wish to drink it at the foun- tain it's only cents per glass-and it's fresh every day. Now, regarding tea and coffee, you must remember we mean the quality WE sell, be- cause we guarantee our quality to be the o. K. kind. This week we give a neatly decorated berry dish with a pound of our warranted good quality 5O-cent tea, and we have several specials with one pound of our Baking Powder, AS cents per pound, at
