An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application Of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. 1t penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as we'll as
temporary relief.
Here's the Proof.

A Coincidence

Miss Schwartz, one of the teachers in
the city schools, departed for her home
in Minnesota Saturday, and by a strange
coincidence Marvin Hocum went east
on the same train-just going down for
a ride to meet the other train and come
back. But the trains passed and so did
Marvin. However, he returned home
Monday night, and he wasn't broke"
either-he had thirty cents left-and it
is the opinion of the boys at the hotel
that he is 10Y engaged in writing a
treatise on the high cost of living, as
he has been busy at the desk almost
constantly since his return. He evil
IDENTIFY submits the copy to his publish
ers in installments, as he sends out a
lot of manuscript on each eastern mail
The opening of school on January 9th,
will undoubtedly brighten up the situa-
ton for Marvin.

parts unknown. Roy brought a load of
wheat to town IN Wednesday of last
week, sold the wheat, put his team in
the livery barn and has not been seer
since. No perceptible motive for his
sudden disappearance is evident. He
planned on going to Leola to attend to
the selling of some flax, and as he did
not return home Wednesday night his
wife supposed that he had gone, but
after waiting several days and not hear
ing from him she came to town and got
the team. Information from Leola dis
closes the fact that he had not been
there, and his disappearance up to this

A Discourse on Girls

Howard Ram, editor of Manchester
CIowa) Press: The Chicago papers
have been making a great fuss over
the statement that a girl ran away
from her home in central Illinois because
her mother made her work too hard. A
Chicago preacher made the affair the
subject of a touching sermon on flial
cruelty, and thereby drew real tears
from a hard-shell deacon who had driven
two wives into an early grave with a
stove poker. No doubt the facts in the
case were a whole lot different. The
chances are that a job in the chorus of
some barn storming troupe looked softer
than doing the dishes and making the
beds. A girhfrom Keokuk, who was
so tall that if she caught cold in June
she could not sneeze until October, ran
away a few weeks with a fiat-headed
runt of an actor, who so short that he
had to talk to her on his fingers, and
she gave the excuse that ma wanted
her to do up her own hair. She stayed
with the show until they billed her as
the female giraffe, and then she Hoped
back to the old home where she was
greeted with the aft side of a hair
brush applied to that portion of her
anatomy where grandma used to wear
her hustle. She got up at four o'clock
next morning and had breakfast ready
for the hired nan before sunup, which
was such a shock to her mother that
she tainted in the sink and clogged the
drain pipe. The trouble is that most
girls have too much rope. The best
wives are always the girls who have
been fiattened out across the parental
knee about once a week and whose
heads are not padded up with store hair
until they look like a buck sheep at
shearing time. Nothing will straighten
up the lovesick girl who makes goo-goo
eyes at every travelling man in sight
quicker than an old fashioned spanking
at the proper point of contact. The girl
whose daily labor consists in brewing
fudge and making the trains is about
as useless to a man who has to work
for a living as a hip pocket in anecktie.

Celebrate Silver Wedding

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Anderson, of
Racine township, Day county, cele-
brated their silver wedding last Satur-
day, Dec. II. There were several rela-
tives and friends from Ortley in attend
ance, besides neighbors and relatives
from close by.
Mr.. Anderson has been a resident of
Day county for the past thirty years,
having settled there in the spring of
1880, after having sailed the bounding
main for several years. He was united
in marriage to Miss Ella Anderson,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Halvor Ander-
son, just rs years ago on the date Of
their silver wedding last Saturday.
Halvor Anderson, father of the silver
bride, passed away some years ago,
but her mother, Mrs. Anna, and three
brothers, C. E., William and Walter,
are citizens of Ortley.
Mr.. Anderson is one of our most pro-
gressfxe and up-to-the-minute agricul-
turalists. The entertainment furnished
by the host and hostess was the best
ever. The cuisine could not be equalled
by Sherry or Delmonico. There was
everything desirable in the way of
refreshments. Music and dancing were
INDUCED in until the breakfast repast
was set in the morning, at which Orrin
Anderson, of Minneapolis, another bro
ther of the hostess, presided as toast
master, and by his brilliant wit and
humorous s~allies, prevented the guests
from feeling the effects of the strenu-
Gus life of the night that had just
fieeted.
Dancing was again resumed after the
breakfast repast and continued up till
noon, when the happy and delighted
throng began to dispense, all uniting in
the praises of the hospitality of the

Boy Drowned in Long Lake

George Shaw, IA years of age, was
drowned in Long Lake, north of Luff-
man, last Saturday afternoon while
skating. 1t is presumed that he fell
through an air hole or skated over a
thin place in the ice and went through.
He has been staying at the home of
Harry Davis, but when he did not
return home in the evening it was sup
posed that he had gone to some of the
neighbors to spend the night, and no
alarm was felt until Monday morning,
when search was made for him. His
hat was found on the ice and after a
short search his body was found in the
waters of the lake. He is a cousin Of
Mrs. Fred Lubke, of this city, and a
brother of Mrs. Robert McGregor.-

Wy oooNPb
Beside a western water tank, one cold
November day;
Inside an empty box car, a dying hobo
lay.
As his partner stood beside him, with
low and dropping head,
Listening to the last words, this dying
hobo said:
''I'm going to a better land, where
everything is bright;
Where hand outs grow on bushes, and
you sleep out every night;
Where you don't have to work at all,
or even change your socks;
And little streams of whiskey come
trickling down the rocks.
''Tell my sweetheart back in Denver
that no more her face III view;
Tell her that I've jumped the fast freight
and that ! am going through;
Tell her not to weep foI me; no tears
in her eyes must Turk,
For / am going to a land where I'll
never have to work.
"Hark! | hear her whistling! ] must
catch her on the fly!
Farwell, partner, ! must leave you; it
amt so hard to die"
The hobo stopped his head fell back
he'd sang his last refrain.
His partner swiped his hat and shoes
and jumped the east-bound train.

THE KNOCKER GETS BUSY
Knock and the World Knocks
With You; Boost and You
Boost Alone.

The Webster World last week con-
tanned another of its characteristic
knocks as follows:
Zone of our subscribers sends us in a
criticism of the Reporter and Farmer,
in which he says that paper exaggerates
the victory won by Mr.. Wicke in the
stock show at st. Paul, and gives the
impression that Mr.. Wickre carried off
the highest honors. While Mr.. Wikcre
is entitled to high praise for raising fine
stock our correspondent thinks he would
be satisfied with a statement of the
fact that he received third and fourth
prizes"
What actuated Editor Bronson in
publishing such a Observation-Disclosures
conceived by some e~nvious stockman-
is hard to determine. 1t is customary
in newspaper Offices to verify such cor
~respondence when it is to be published
anonymously, and had Mr.. Bronson
stepped to his phone and called up either
Mr.. Wickre's residence or the Reporter
and Farmer office, it would not have
taken him two minutes to learn that
the Criticism" of his correspondent
was a pure fabrication; or if he had
taken the trouble to look through the
leading farm journals for the current
month he would have found every state
ment of the Reporter and Farmer veri-
fled, But with the typical instincts of
a knocker, he preferred to publish the
fabrication of his correspondent, and
thereby not only question the
veracity of Mr.. Wickre and the Reporter
and Farmer but also giving the impress
sion that Day county stock did not have
a ''look in" at the Northwestern Live
stock Show at st. Paul.
For the benefit of those who placed
credencc in Bronson's knock we wish to
state that Mr.. Wickre captured the
third and fourth prizes, all right-an and
also captured the first and second. His
pen of Duroc-Jersey barrows received
the grand championship over all ages,
grades and breeds. His cattle took
first, second and fourth, but the grand
championship on cattle went to a MI.
Watson, of Caledonia. MINI. The lat
ter purchased the prize winning calves
at the international Livestock Show in
Chicago in 1909, fed them a year with
the object of winning the grand cham
pionship, and sold the bunch at an esti-
mated loss of $500. Mr.. Wickre's cat
tie were second in the grand champion
ship, and they were them ost profitable
bunch of cattle exhibited. While the
winners %out-pointed Mr.. Wickre's cat
tie in a few respects, yet from the
viewpoint of practical and profitable
stock raising Mr.. Wickre won the high
honors on cattle as well as on hogs.
If Mr.. Bronson or anyone else doubts
the statements we have made in regard
to the honors Mr.. Wickre's stock
secured at the Northwestern Livestock
Show we invite them to call at the
Reporter and Farmer office and inspect
the ribbons and list of cash prizes Mr..
Wickre received. These are sufficient
evidence to convince the most skeptical
or even such chronic knocker as Mr..
Bronson.

A HAPPY new YEAR To ALL
And May the Year 1911 Continue
the Happiness and Prosperity
of the People of Day County

In the closing days of 1910 we cannot
look back upon the past twelve months
without a feeling of pleasure and salts
faction. The year 1910 has been a
prosperous one for the people of Day
county. While other communities suf-
fered from drouth or flood, Day county
farmers were busy harvesting their
generous crops, and we doubt if there
is a community in the northwest with
which the fates have dealt more gener-
ously during the past year. A nor
happy and contented people than the
residents of Day county could not be
found, and it is our sincere hope that
their prosperity and happiness will con-
tinue through 1911.
The Reporter and Farmer wishes at
this time to extend its sincere thanks
to the people of Webster and Day
county for teeir liberal support and
during the past year. We
have put forth u best endeavors to
merit the support we have received and
we will further endeavor during 1911 to
make the Reporter and Farmer more
interesting than ever before.
Wishing you all a happy New Year,
and unbounded prosperity during 1911,
we remain yours sincerely,

Auto Collides With Buggy

How utterly careless and Indifferent
some people are. For the third time in
three weeks the Advocate is called
upon to chronicle an accident as the
result of careless driving of automo-
biles.
This week the victim was Nels John
son He was driving out of town going
west and was opposite the Jens Holm
place when he met two ~autoes, both of
which we're going at a terrific rate of
speed, Mr.. Johnson estimating it at fifty
miles al hour. The first turned out
enough to give Mr.. johnson half the
road, but the second ran so close that
it crowded his team into the ditch and
struck the real of the buggy, smashing
it and throwing Mr.. Johnson out. The
team, taking fright, started west and
were caught about a mile out by Christ
Palmer and Anton Peterson. When
found, one Of the horses had released
itself, leaving the other one still drag
ing the buggy. Mr.. Johnson escaped
without serious injury, but one limb
was badly bruised.
While the snow covers the ground
now and will probably put a stop to
this, wouldn't it be a good idea, in pre-
paration for next summer, for those
owning machines and desiring to use
them right, to form a club for the pur-
pose of catching those who persist in
fast driving, and punish them accord
ing to law. -Waubay Advocate.
