Eight-Inch Patent Tension
Spring Shears

The Shears being distributed by the
Palladium and SunTelegram are man.
ufactured of the very highest grade
steel, perfectly tempered and heavily
nickel plated on a highly polished
surface. The patent tension spring
takes up all the wear on the rivet so
that the cutting edges will never wear
dull. A simple turn of the little
thumb screw will adjust the blades to
cut anything from the thinnest and
most delicate fabric to the heaviest
material Every woman who has had
the exasperating and trying exper-
fence of attempting to cut with a dull
pair of shears, will appreciate the val
ne of this new invention.

can nomination for states attorney Is

nectiOn with the office and 1t looked
like easy sailing for him But 1t seems
hat the friends of Attorney w. w.

work in his behalf and have decided
that he would make good states
attorney and that he can be elected II

Mr.. Damron is a native of Johnson
county. being born and reared in
Vienna His father Almrs G.. Dam
ron, deceased, was at one time state 8
attorney for that county, and his
grandfather, Major Andrew j. Kuy
kendall was a member of the state
legislature and congressman from
this district Mr. Damron's poll ical
training is all that could be desired,
from a Republican standpoint, and he
is a graduate of the Bloomington law
school.
Attorney Damron Is a young man
of pleasing personality and is mem
Der of the Knights of Pythias and
the B. p. O. f. He Is a hale fellow
well met and a young man who

MISSOURI BOYS
JOIN THE ARMY
THREE ENLISTED AT LOCAL STA
TlON ESTERDAY-THE BEST
SHOWING OF DISTRICT FOR
MAY MADE BY CAIRO.

Three men were enlisted in the
United States amry at the local re
Icruiting Office yesterday. They are
Charles f. Watson, of East Prairie
Mo, who formerly served three years
with Company A, Seventh Infantry
John Keen of Benton Mo. and Ray
mond S. Collier OF Sikeston, Mo
These men We're more or less in
tiuenced to join the army by the bet,
ter pay being received by the sol
diers.
Sergeant J. Kresky. in charge of the
local station, has two more men in
view who will be enlisted probably
next week. They are both from Wen.
ma, ILL.,, and We're only lately dis.
charged from the coast artillery ser.
vice, in fact only two months ago,
and by re-enlisting now they will be
allowed to draw pay for those two
months. 1t is said that the better
pay and brighter prospects for the all.
around betterment of the army is
drawing hundreds OF good men to the
ranks, not only in this recruiting dis,
trict. which comprises eleven stations
but in all other districts.
The Cairo station enlisted more
men in May than any OF the other
ten stations in the district. Twenty
three men went from here to join the
army while the Paducah station en-
listed the second greatest number.
sixteen.
For the month of May, 1907, this
recruiting district, all eleven stations
enlisted only % men. This years
record for May shows 81 men enlisted
in this district A year ago in May
the Cairo station enlisted only three
men. The increase shown by the re
cord this year is gratifying to the re
cruiting offices and the war depart
ment likewise and shows that legsla-
ton in favor Of the soldier will make
The army larger and better.
Sergeant Kreky also examined two
members of Company X, Fourth Regi
ment l. n. G., yesterday, who are
tentative candidates for enlistment.
They are Guy Wilson and Charles
Jones, and are both likely to make
good soldiers, as the training they
have received in the militia will help
them to meet the requirements of the
United States military code.
