At ST. Joseph,s

There was large attendance at st.
Joseph's Catholic church Sunday
morning, more than could be seated,
the service being the first communion
for class of thirteen who are prepar-
ing for confirmation later. Rev. FIR.
Zindler preached fine sermon and the
service was a very interesting and inn
pressive one. The society are badly in
need of a new and much larger church
and Rev. FIR. Zindler will undoubtedly
see way to get one in the near future.

After Blind Pigs-Not The Homes

Sheriff Cilley was in Portland the
past week and while there he remarked
that no violations of the local option
law had as yet been reported from that
place. He also declared that it was
the policy OF both the prosecuting at
torney and himself to be strictly oppos-
ed to the "blind pig" business though
the rights of the individual are TO be
respected and the officers do not pro-
pose to scrutinize too closely the acts
of such individual in his own home.
The use of liquor in the home by guests
would be as obnoxious To the host as
to the law and he is not looking for any
trouble along that line.

COMPLIMENTARY WORDS
For Rev. Edrie Collins and Daughter
Upon Their Leaving Hersey

For Rev. Edrie Collins and Daughter
Upon Their Leaving Hersey
The Osceola News says these pleas
ant words of Mr.. Collins who has taken
up the work of pastor of the congrega-
tional church here:
"Rev. Edrie Collins and daughter
Myrna, left last Friday for Bedding,
where the former goes in acceptance of
call from the First Congregational
church there. AS pulpit orator and
an earnest and loyal church worker he
has made reputation. We bespeak
for him the same degree of popularity
at Bedding as was accorded him here in
Hersey. During his four year passionate
in Hersey Mr.. Collins has married 40
couples and OBLIGATED at "a funerals.
A happy surprise was perpetrated
upon him and his daughter Myrna last
week, at the home of Chas. A Anderson
on Third street. The function was in
the nature of farewell party and was
hugely enjoyed by the participants.
Before departing for home at about mid
night the young people presented Mr..
Collins with an illustrated gilt-topped
copy of Bishop Quayle's THE Prairie
and the Sea, and Miss Myrna with a
writing companion as a token of their
esteem and good will. 1t is not at all
likely that the recipients will forget
their last evening in Hersey in a
hurry.

The throat Is one of
the most delicate parts

TOnsiline Tn The throat sa;,i is one s Of
Cures of the body. It is also
TL.or< one of the most i'm
ocTS iiiiOoI portant, and should
be given tho best possible care.
The throat Is the gateway to the body.
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the
liquids we drink, all pass through 1t. 1t Is
very easily affected by cold, strain. .ex-
posure, ETC., and Sore Throat is therefore
one Of our most common ailments.
Strangely enough. Il is also one Of the
most neglected.
Sore Throat Is very serious matter.
for the whole system Is In danger In
consequence Of IL.
Every Sore Throat patient Is candidate
for Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Diphtheria and
other serious or fatal diseases, all Of which
can be prevented by the timely cure Of the
Sore Throat by the use of TONSiLINE.
If taken in time dose or two will do it.
TONSILINE Is made to cure throat dis
eases and nothing else. 1t Is the one
remedy for this purpose sold largely In the
United States. Every user endorses it,
every physician, knowing it's virtues,
commends it.
The one most important thing to ~
remember about TONSILINE is the SsW
fact that it really does cure Sore IA
Throat. IA

The Blues Again.

To send out 1900 statements
means to us an expense of $50
for stamps besides the printing
of the necessary stationery, and
we ''just can't afford it,
So we ask all those whose sub
scription to the COURIER has ex.
pired to please renew without any
further parleying.
If they want the COURIER they
ought to be willing to pay for it
and pay for it in advance like
they do their city papers. There
is no reason why they should
make a discrimination against
their home paper.
We are anxious to have you
continue your subscription to the
sCoUR1ER, but not unless you are
willing to pay for it when your
time expires, and if we fail to
hear from you soon we shall re-
mind you again with our first
issue in April that your subscrip.
ton is due, and shall use the,
"blue mark" for that purpose.
You may or may not like this
plan, but we have long since quit
trying toplease everybody and we
do not care about the patronage
of those who wear their feelings
80 close to the surface and show
symptoms of ''the kicks" on the
slightest provocation.
We owe it to our creditors to
make collections with as little
outlay of cash as possible and
the blue pencil is cheap and it
ought to be an effective way to
do it, although it may not con-
form to your tender sensibilities.
If you would ward off the blues
and keep them from your COURIER
the payment of the amount you
owe US on subscription will do
the work. If you don't believe
1t. try it and we'll prove it.
