farm could be repaired for the winter.
More and more was developed a de-
sire to correspond with the outside
world and she soon began writing
articles for the Western Rural and a
Grand Rapids paper. Next the now
state wide system of township items
was commenced with the Lowell
Journal, Margaret claiming in a
very humble way TO be the maternal
organizer of this system. DR.. Abel
Ford began about the same time, as
the Vergennes correspondent which
soon extended TO other towns. The

POST ADS BRING
QUICK RESULTS

1T certainly pays a man to put an
advertisement in the Glenwood Post"
said a recent advertiser to the Post
man, on Tuesday of this week.
The speaker was A. E. Moore.
rancher, who advertised the taking up
of a horse. The advertisement, which
was merely small local, told of Mr..
Moore taking up a stray horse. 1t ap-
peared in our last issue, and that 1t
was read was proven by the result as
announced by Mr.. Moore, He said:
Well, you can stop that ad ! placed
in your paper. The owner OF the horse
has been located, and it was through

PheliX Diemos of near Silt You re
member he bought a ranch down there
some time ago. Well he missed his
horse, and started out after it. He
reached New Castle last Sunday morn
ing. He was expecting to take long
trip up Elk creek after some trace Of
the animal, but upon making inquiries
of New Castle people he was told the
animal was near Glenwood. These New
Castle people had read the ad placel
in the Glenwood Pos, and thus they
were able, nos only to save this man
a long, hard ride up Elk creek, but he
got his horse much sooner. The horse
was one of two that Mr.. Diemos re-
Gently paid $3.50 for, thus this horse
was worth at least 5000. 1t WIS a
good animal. Your paper is certainly
Then another undeniable proof OF
the value of the Post ads was called 20
our attention. 1t will be remembered
by our readers that Mr. DeWeese ear
ried an ad telling of the cattle he had
for sale. Our readers noted the ad ami
Mr.. DeWeese sold the entire bunch
were all sold in much less time even
than we had hoped. 1t has been for
some time known that Post ads bring
quick results and the more people try
them, the more convinced they are OF
the truth of the claim that Glenwood
Post ads are money makers for the ad-
vertisers.
Our business men should take the
hint from the ranchers and place ads
in this paper. Ranehers in every sec
ton of the county read the paper, AMI
that they read the ads Is proven by
the results in the cases cited above.

FULL PUBLICITY
IS NOW DESIRED

Occasionally there is person that
seeks the utmost secrecy in matrimon
ial affair, but very often they regret
having asked for this same silence on
THE part of newspapers and others.
On the ninth of March of this year,
County Clerk Hubbard issued a mar
riagc license to Clifton Reyman AMI
Miss irene Husk of near SILT. Rev.
Mann of Rifle tied the Official knot
and they became man and wife. The
parenfs of the girl learned of the mar
riage, which was in he nature of an
elopement, and Immediately took steps
to win the young lady from her hus-
band. They claimed she was but six
teen years of age. The girl was sccur-
ed and kept from the man of her choice
and on the tenlth of this month, County
Judge Smith was called upon by the
voung lady and her relatives who ask
ed that the marriage decree be set
aside. 1t was alleged that the young
lady had repented her act and was
sorry and feared that the future with
the man she had married would result
in much sorrow 10 her. Judge Smith
listened to the story and did as re
ques,.ed and set aside the marriage
and thus the young lady became Miss
Irene ITusk instead of Mrs. Reyman
According to Judge Smith, he was
entreated to keep the affair secret and
in fact was not to "tell anyone. - fle
kept his word and within a few days
the young lady was sorry that she had
ever requested such secrecy. Her Silt
friends continued to call her &C Mrs
Reyman''' and it is said refused to be
lieve that the. marriage had been set
aside
This was too much for Mis- Husk
and She called Judge Smith over the
telephone and appriscd him of her tnou
bles. 1t is said she called for full and
unlimited publicity that her friends
might know that she is no longer Mrs.
Reyman, but is once more Miss Irene
Husk.
