SEA MONSTER
 SEEKS VICTIM Tony Carlson Has Narrow Es- cape From Octopus Concealed
 In His Bed

Valdez is at the mercy of the octo- pus, or several of it's citizens have been lately-not Standard Oil, or Pierpont Morgan or the Guggen- helms, but real sea monster that has been getting in bed with folks, greatly to their discomfort.
 Louis Rothkranz brought the critter to town after fishing him out of the bay when he was looking for some- thing else. Keeping the big fish at arms length-the arms of the octopus being meant--he succeeded in un- loading it in Jim McHie's residence. Jim passed the radiate along to some friends, nearly soaring them out of their boots, but they succeeded in showing it back on him. Then bv unknown means the monster found it's way into Tony Carlson's bed.
 Tony went home sober but when he turned on the light and saw eight
 
 tentacles wagging and two goggle eyes winlinG lilc pair of fried eggs i'll hot skillet every hair on top of his head stood up straight and he thought for a minute that he had butted into d chamber of horrors. Then he had a hunch and he grabbed the octopus by the arm that looked like tail, rushed to McIIie's shack next door and fired the monster through the window.
 That is the last chapter up to date but'thc octopus i- liable 10 break into society in new place most any lime.

The closing session of the national
grange brought out three or four very
important resolutions, which were
adopted. One was to the effect that
the grange favors the adoption of a
special post system on rural delivery
routes. And 1t reaffirmed its demands
for general parcels post law. An
other resolution Endorsed the measure
before congress providing for the es-
tablishment of a postal savings bank,
indorsing senate bill No. 64,S04. An
other resolution that found favor was
one asking that the representatives Of
agriculture be given fair share Of
the appointments in the administra-
tive affairs of the national and state
government, especially in the matter
pertaining to agriculture and rural af-
fairs. Another quite important reso-
luton relating to both parcels post and
the postal savings banks was to the
effect that 1t should become the duty
of the national secretary to file list
of the United States senators and rep
resentatives who are opposed to the
above named propositions and that

ASTHMA VANISHES.
So Does Cstarrh, Group, Hay Fever
and Bronchitis.

Hyomei is confidence creator, The

Hyomei. 1t is very pleasant and prompt

Ifyour head is so stuffed with mucous
that you cannot breathe particle of air

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE
SKIN.
Not Blood Disease-Cured by Oil
of Winterqreen Compound.

For many years eczema was supposed
to be blood disease and was enormously
treated as such, but now the best author
tiles agree that eczema is only skin dis
ease and must be cured through the skin
The eminent skin specialist, DR.. D. D..
Dennis, first discovered the eczema germ
and his discovery was quickly taken up
in both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DIR. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thymol,
glycerine, etc. The remedy is liquid,
not mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the pores of the skin. Washing
with this oil of wintergreen compound
seems to take the itch away at once; soon
the scales drop away and the disease dis
appears. III. B. DuttonJ The prescrip-
ton has now been used so long as to have
proven its absolute merit and we do not

Dear Sir A new word has come into
use in paint; it is strong. Strong paint
is paint as strong as paint can be. Weak
paint is paint not so strong.
If one paint takes 10 gallons to do a
job and another 10, the 10 gallon paint is
the stronger
If one paint wears 10 years, and an
other 5, the 10 year paint is the stronger.
The strongest paint is the one that
takes least gallons and wears longest.
But do such differences exist? Yes
and greater. Devoe is the strongest of
all. A job that takes 10 gallons Devoe
takes more than 20 of some. And job
of Devoe wears several times as long as a
job of some paints.
o E Perry, East Sth st, Erie, Pa,
painted two houses same size; same
time with two paints same price; took
gallons Devoe to 4 of the other, and in
three years Devoe was the better looking
job.
There are strong and weak paints; we
all want the strongest ; paint can't be too
strong.
Yours truly

The following, taken from a recent
address of our honored townsman, Prof.
Walter E. Howard, has all the virility
that distinguishes the man, and is too
good to be forgotten:
What we need in this country and at
this time is more brains and less hyster-
les: more common sense and less rant;
more patriots and fewer demagogues,
more thought and less barbaric yawp.
1t is quite possible that we shall yet
see the financial theories of Oklahoma
put into practice and the singularly SIM
pie socialstic plan adopted of compelling
the rich and the prudent to contribute
to the losses of wild cat bankers and
sage-brush financiers. Between cow
boy politics and jack rabbit finance we
are certainly between the devil and the
deep sea.
This continual harping on the sins of
the rich as if the poor had no sins; this
daily and weekly preaching against the
sins of people who are not present; this
coddling of those who have nothing and
teaching them that they have some sort
of a mysterious grievance against those
who have something; this perpetual rant
against the rich and the prosperous
whose wealth and prosperity, nine times
out of ten are the result of their own in
dustry, temperance and frugality-this
dangerous and false insinuation that the
Lord loves the poor and hates the rich
all these things that come from the pull
pit, press and platform teaching, as fast
as they possibly can, the most dangerous
socialistic doctrines, setting class against
class-these are lighting fires that may
shoulder long, but will be hard to quench

MICROBES IN THE SCALP
The Latest Explanation is That
Microbes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and Dr. Sabourand of Paris, France,
share the honor of having discovered
the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a few
weeks work of these hair microbes, but
is the result of conditions brought about
by their presence. Badness may not
occur for years after the microbes began
work, but it is certain TO come sooner or
later.
The microbes cnt off the blood supply.
They feed on the fatty matter about the
root of the hair, through which the blood
is absorbed. Finally the fatty matter is
wholly consumed, the food supply of the
hair is gone and it staryes and finally
dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both
germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin
though not dye, restores natural color
to hair when loss of color was caused By
disease. These curatives properly mixed
with alcohol as stimuant. perfect u
remedy unequalled for curing scalp and
hair troubles.

Whereas, 1t is one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of American government that as

shall be constituted of a proportionate

Whereas Our national grange is pre-

Whereas. The states having so coo to GO, -
