HARMONY and a pull together should be the slogan of every busi- ness man in Williams. There is plenty of room for all of you to succeed. Nothing is gained by petty jealousy. If your competitor happens to sell a dollars worth more than you did it is no reason for you to become jealous of him and talk mean about him, for just as soon as you begin, you will drive away your customers. The cus- toner do not care to hear your snarling remarks about the other fellow. Clean competition is the life of trade. Speak we'll of your neighbor, it will help you and make you feel better. Talk about your own goods and represent them just as they are; advertise iudiciously and success will be yours.

Advertising the Town

Towns no less than business firms need to advertise. A town may not fail quite so quickly as a private enterprise from lack of ad- vertising, but the death is just as certain in the long run. A town needs to have outsiders know its advantages, it's actual conditions az to industries, opportunities for busi ness, cost of living. etc. Many an excellent town suffers from the fact that it's. advantages are not widely known. just as many worthy com modity suffers because it has not been advertised.
 The newspapers are undoubtedly one of the greatest means of ad- vertising their towns. By their newspapers men shall know them is the semi biblical phrase that ap' plies to towns. says an exchange The western real estate town can teach the average eastern city many things on the subject of advertise ing. There it is a case of advertise or die completely, and they prefer to advertise. The result is tha' people are interested and money is invested in the towns.
 It is the same old fact that never changes-namely, that advertising is necessary and that the more { thing is advertised up to certain very high limit the greater the ne returns will be. Towns are no ex ception to the general rule.

THIS city. we are sorry to say, has a certain element of citizens who are continuously knocking at the city, it's citizens and whatever may be undertaken by them. This was noticeable at the baseball game last Sunday when some, including business men, too, tried their utmost to bring about the de- feat of the home team. On the night before the game the knockers had done their best to get some of the players under the influence of liquor and thus be in a weak con- dition on the day of the game. It is a shame to have such people in the town, but those who are doing boosting and heart and soul are working for greater Williams need not be discouraged for even a stranger will look npon a knocker with scorn. These knockers were overjoyed at the defeat of home team, but right here it might be said that there is a day coming when he will feel sad, for Williams is not going to lose every game this aea son

Every family should have cur few which should ring tonight and all other nights, if needed. These curfews are not expensive and can be made at home. Directions: Take nice smooth piece of siding. say two feet in length, and whittle one end to a handle.

 The Warming Pan.-This sounds as if it were a kitchen utensil, but our forefathers used it to warm the ice cold beds of the poorly heated houses O. Q century ago.
 The warming pan was of circular metal about a foot in diameter and three or four inches deep. It had a long. wooden handle. and a perforat- cd brass or copper cover. It was kept hanging by the fireplace and at bed time filled with hot coals Then thrust back and forth within the bed, rapidly, to prevent scorching the sheets.
 bread-peel was long-handled shovel on which bread was placed; 1t was then thrust on the coal. The bread-peel was-to our pioneers-a symbol of domestic peace and plenty, and was always conspicuously placed as an emblem of goodluck.

Aspic Jelly with Enus.

This is another good substitute for meat, and can be prepared on Satur- day.
 Make an aspic jelly by using any rich stock, well seasoned while boil ing. To every two quarts of stock add box of gelatine. Add lemon juice, and pour half Of the jelly-while soft in pan. Add some eggs-counting noses as to number-poached in boil ing water which is rapidly stirred be- f91e the eggs are dropped in. This will preserve the shape of the egg.
 After the first layer of aspic is stiff, add the eggs and then pour over them the rest of the jelly which has been kept warm and liquid.
 The layers should be each an inch thick with the eggs in the middle. Serve in squares with an egg in the center of each. On lettuce leaves, with a garnish of pickle this is q de. lieious and a filling dish.

LIKENED HERSELF TO ELIJAH
Pious Old Lady Regarded Cats Act of Theft.

A reporter, during the Dayton cele- bration, condemned the numerous pilferers of Wright aeronautical ideas
 They piifer so smugly. too the reporter said. They pretend that the ideas they steal were born in their own brains years ago. Strange, though, isn't it, that you alone pat ented these ideas and put them to practical use."
 Orville Wright smiled and an- swered:
 They have indeed a righteous air, these pilferers. They actually believe, I am sure, that they have just claim to the ideas they flcb. They remind me of old Mrs. Harrington.
 "A neighbor of old Mrs. Harring- tons killed a fine pig one day. He cut it up and hung the pieces in his woodshed. Mrs. Harrington's cat climbed into the shed that night, stole a large pork chop and carried it home to her mistress.
 The minister happened to call on the old lady the next day She was just frying the chop. She told the minister how miraculously it had been brought to her by the cat.
 And oh, sir she said, piously, it was most beautiful to see the way the sweet animal brought me the pork chop. It quite recalled to my mind what we read in holy writ about Elijah and the ravens. Chicago Journal
