cation of the last list. Many have been

is "Amana, the Community of True In

predominating theme is the religious
tenets of certain sect, obviously the
book, forms a chapter in the history
of this state.
For the particular epoch of Italian
history, one cannot do better than to
read Edward Huttons vivid account OF

period The critics are as warm IN
praise of this work as they were OF
Mark Twains Personal Recollections

The Russo-Japanese war is still OF
great interest, and should lead to the
reading of "As the Hague Ordains,"

there is a list of twelve great novels,
compiled by the Ottumwa library OF
which this library has all except Flau-

EARLY Fall Market Offers Many
Good Things for the
Family Table
VARIETY FOR THE MENU
L ate or Winter Apples Abundant, and
at a Reasonable Price - Michigan
Celery Will Be in tho Market Soon
California Oranges Will Be Hero BY
Thanksgiving.

With the coming of the killing frosts
which nip the vegetables and products
of the garden, and eliminate the
source of supply from which many
tempting dishes for the home table are
made, the housewife is forced to cast
about for other things to take their
places. She naturally falls back on the
grocer and the produce dealer who arc
able to supply her with many things
grown elsewhere, that she may main
tain the attractiveness Of her menu.
In this list are included the fruits
and vegetables which make up the
bulk of those things offered by the
market at this time of year.
Apples Plentiful and Cheap.
Apples probably rank first among the
staple fruits. Without barrel or two
of this good winter fruit no fruit and
vegetable cellar can ever be consid-
cred fully stocked. The market af-
fords long list of the well known
varieties of late, or winter apples, at
reasonable prices, cheaper In many
cases than they have been for a year
or two In barrel lots any of the
standard kinds can be bought for from
1926 to IS, according to varieties. The
crop in New York and Missouri has
been abundant, which accounts in part
for the moderate prices. The quality
is uniformly good, and above the us
ual average.
Oranges by Thanksgiving.
Oranges that are now in the market
that have not come from cold storage
are from Florida, but the bulk Of the
supply in this section comes from CAL
ifornia, and the first of these will be
on the market by Thanksgiving time.
Dealers say the reports that come TO
them is that the California crop Is
very good, and the result will be that
the prices will be about the average,
ranging from % cents a dozen up
wards, according to size. and variety.
Late Fruits About Como.
There has been such an abundant
prices have been the lowest in years.
About the last of this fruit is now on
the market and the housewife can get
a bushel of this sound delicious fruit
to can for 81. Altho the native grape
crops will be in the market for several
weeks, the fruit not held in cold stor-
age is being taken up by the market at
the prices that have prevailed during
the season.
The Michigan celery, which is gen
orally considered to outclass all other
varieties of this vegetable, will begin
to come into the market next week
The crop is said to be exceptionally
fine. It will retail for about 121a cents
a, pound. Cranberries have been in the
market for short time. They are
bringing a shilling quart
The market for dressed fowl contin-
ues to hold strong Fries are bringing
20 cents pound, and broilers 10.

As we understand it, Mr.. John ID.
Rockefeller, jr., believes in never
lending money to friend, or refusing
1T from him.-Times-Dispatch.
Joking aside, isn't be wise to live
up to that doctrine ? How easy 1t
is to make an enemJ out of friend
by letting him get in debt to you,
particularly by the loan of cash
lie soon begins to avoid your pres
enee, and presently. uncousciously it
may be. he begins to dislike to see
you or to hear your name ca lied;
every such incident is a reminder of
his obligation. And then this dis
like graduslly grows into personal
dislike, and later into enmity. On
the other hand, il one is so friendly
and desires to force the loan of mon
ey upon you, do not refuse even
though you may not need the loan.
Your refusal is to thwart him in the
desire to show friendliness aud at
the same time an unmindful bring
ing of you under some faint of obi
cation to him. Follow John ID ,
Jr.'s plan and yen will hold friends
the longer.

"As A result of it all-whether
any individual gets hurt or not, we
are certain that the Democratic party
will be, and We can easily imagine
the eager diligence with which Re-
publicans are taking notes." Thus
speaks our Urbanna contemporary,
anent the turmoil and charges hover
ing around Observation-Disclosures
Bristol, aud very truly. Significant,
is it not, that Democratic factional
fights should be carried to the intern
perate extent of furnishing fodder
for the Republicans! 1t will also be
observed that the Rhea and the
Board of Fisheries matters have at
their bottom men of Democratic
prominence as stirrers of the strife
and if you will watch events these
two same malcontents will be the
ones "hurt," yea, are already hurt.

tional lines, and to avoid further
opening of sores, bat cannot refrain

ment reserves in Nevada, and that
they are doing damage to vegetation
and attracting domestic animals to
their herds, For this reason the
government has instructed the rah-

the domain. What will the Reyer-

to this, and what~will the American
