we sell them at 8 cents per square

houses are selling them at Q cents
per square foot and you pay the
freight of course. When you buy
these of us, you have the advanta-
ge of buyin cheaper and select
ing just what you want; when buy
ing of the catalogue house you
have the disadvantage of higher
price on the goods, waiting Id
days before you receive them and
even them you run chances that

means another delay Id days in

the point you should consider. /

so planned as to be of the most help

Kalamazoo, Mich-A Kalamazoo
man has at last discovered the way
to curb the tongue of woman. His
discovery is timely, and the only fear
is that the system will be worked
overtime
Frank B. Morris, who owns a farm
near this city, employed ITve Savage
TO work it. Savage has a wife, claimed
to be all her name implies, and soon
after the farmland and his wife had
taken possession of the tenant cottage
on the farm Mrs. Savage discovered
that she did not like the owner.
The dislike grew and finally reached
Mrs. Morris. The landowner claimed
that during his and his wifes visits
to their farm to oversee the work and
give orders Mrs. Savage made life mis-
cradle for them. Consulting an attor-
ney he was advised to make applica-
tion for an injunction.
Morris followed the advice, and his
petition was presented to Judge John
W. Adams. In ii he charged that
Mrs. Savage has an uncomfortable
temper, and frequently used coarse
language in his presence and that Of
his wife
The woman was also alleged TO
have influenced her husband not to
carry out the orders given by Morris.
and the landowner prayed the court
that Mrs. Savage be enjoined frou.
speaking to either himself or wife on
the farm or on the street. Also that
she be restrained from interfering
with her husband carrying out the or
ders his employer issued
The injunction was issued, and the
courts order was served on Mrs. Saw
age. By its provisions she cannot,
without being in contempt of court,
leave the lot which surrounds the
tenants cottage. nor can she speak to
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
Bnraged by the order, Mrs. Savage
packed her belongings and moved
away from the farm. Before going.
however, she pulled up every growing
plant in the garden she had made.
While the Sayages have left the Nor
ris farm, the courts order stands, and
Mrs. Savage must not speak as she
passes her husbands former employ
er on the streets.
