ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Websters New International Die
tionary which has been Issued just re-
Gently, is an essentially new diction-
airy of the English language. 1t is the
latest in the series which was begun
by Noah Webster and which has been
steadily and consistently developed
under the management of a single pub
fishing house from 1843 to the present
time. It's immediate predecessor was
Websters International Dictionary Of
1890, with the supplement added in
1900. OF that work the new volume is
thorough reconstruction, embodying
proved and established principles, to-
gether with the results of the widest,
the most recent and the most analytic
photographic research.
The book has been in active prepar-
alton for many years For the past six
years a large staff Of editors has been
at work, men carefully selected for
their individual qualifications, and so
grouped as to cover the whole field
of practical photography.
i The editors have had four guiding
principles in their work: first, the inn
provement of the definitions; second,
the enlargement Of the vocabulary
third, the increase in the amount Of
general information; fourth the ar
rangement of the material os to in
crease the ease and convenience with
which the consulter will find what he
wishes This last is principally ac-
complished by the division OF the page
into two sections-the upper In the ia
miliar Webster type and the lower in
smaller type. The principle of the
new arrangement is this, the several
vocabularies formerly given separate
ly; foreign phrases and proverbs;
scripture names; names of fictitious
persons, ahbreviations-hav been in
corporated with the general vocabu-
larry. Every page now contains all the
titles that fall alphabetically between
the first and the last title words. To
the lower section of the page are rele-
gated the foreign words, authorizations,
obsolete words, ETC.
In this Webster's New international
Dictionary there are over 100000
words and phrases defined, 2,700 pages
and 5000 illustrations

The prosecuting attorney, whoever
he is. should go after the responsible
parties in the sugar weight robbery
matter The thieves who planned that
graft ought to get life sentences and
the officials who let it go unnoticed
ought to get the same dose. Our house
and senate might take a little time off
their present rag chewing match, and
by pursuing an investigation that will
send some of those sugar thieves to
the pen, transact little business for
the people

1t has now been discovered, accord

The Piano
Question

1t Is an easy question to answer
why so many Pianos are purchased al
the Baker Piano Parors. G. B. Baker
is the only dealer in Ottumwa
or that ever was here, that buys high
grade Pianos for spot cash direct from
the factory.
G. B. Baker is the only dealer who
conducts his business alone and single
handed and has neither partners nor
company nor anybody to dictate to,
or say what shall or what shall not be
done
When | want to make a special price
do so and 1T is nobody's business ex.
cept mine, and that is pretty often;
in fact, whenever | feel like it, When
| want to grant favor or extend a
payment / simply do so and ask no
questions of anybody. / am the only
dealer that carries my own paper and
never send it to the company.
haven't the largest and most ex.
pensive room in the city, but on the
contrary have the smallest and
most economical room in the CITY,
with much the largest stock in the
city.
These are a few of many reasons
why G. b. Baker is selling Pianos
every day when other dealers are sit.
ting around doing nothing.
Does this appeal to you? If SO,
come in and see

1t is easy to sympathize with that
Muscatine pastor who has been a.

who have not felt strong desire at
times to take chances on going up for
life just to give snowballing kid the
licking he deserved.
