After the advent of Atlantic North.
ern and Southern Railway into Elk
Horn, the services of Chris were very
much in demand again in Elk Horn
where we now find him behind the
counters of the Elk Horn Mercantile
Co's.store working hard for his en-
ployers by whom he is trusted and
his judgement respected. The kind
assistance and interest that Chris has
shown the Journal in its endeavor to
please the people of Elk Horn and vi
cinity has been highly appreciated
by US and we have come to consider
that Chris is a part of the Journal
family SO at this opportune time we
feel tree to express our supreme APP
probation of his services, desire for
his welfare and q hope that his life
may indeed be most happy one; the
portals of his household never enter
ed with sorrow or remorse, and his
domestic felicity be as smooth as his
motives are pure.

Union OF Two True And Sincere
Hearts At Elk Horn.

1t h as been apparent for sometime
to those who have passed through
like events, that Mr.. Chris j.. Peter

daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. N. G. Car
stensen living south of Elk Horn had
certainly an understanding as to the
date of their coming nuptials for the
action of these young people caused
much comment.
Wednesday last at 300 P. M. the
climax was reached and it was pro-
claimed to the world by the Rev. Jer-
slid at the Danish Lutheran Church
in Elk Horn that a marriage con-
tract is hereby entered into by which

New Postoffice

The last time this reporter was in
Elk Horn nearly year ago, j. A.
Petersen, the jolly ieweler and post
master and his sister, the assistant

and we were very agreeably sur
prised Friday to find them located
in their two story 24x6O foot build
ing with plenty of room, light and
every convenience at hand, the ele-
CANT stock of jewelry, etc. in the
front of the room, the post Office in

A Woman's Great Idea

is how to make herself attractive. But,
without health, it is hard for her to be
lovely in face, form or temper. A weak,
sickly woman will be nervous and irrit-
able. Constipation and Kidney poisons
show in pimples, blotches, skin crap
tioHs and wretched complexion. But
Electric Bitters always prove a godsend
to women who want health, beauty and
friends. They regulate stomach, liver
and kidneys, purify the blood; give
strong nerves, bright e5 es, pure breath,
smooth velvety skin, lovely complexion,
good health. Try them. SOC at Wintrey

New Industry Developing
On the Western slope.

The press of the fruit growing re-
gions of the Western Slope is max
ing mention of the signing up of
many large contracts for the de-
livery of cantaloupes to eastern
commission firms in quantities that
indicate the growing of cantaloupes
is developing into a considerable
industry.
1t has been amply demonstrated
that the soil and climatic condi-
tions in Montrose. Delta and Mesa
counties are favorable to the grow
ing of cantaloupes equal in quality
and flavor to the world famous
Rocky Ford melon. Practically i'm
mune from damage by frost, no
expense incurred by smudging and
spraying. the growing of canta-
loupes would seem to promise more
certain and quite as liberal profits
as the growing of peaches, pears,

Life Great Partnership.

Life is a partnerships great
partnership immutable, illimitable,
universal and everlasting! 1t reaches
backward through unnumbered gen.
crutions of ancestors, even unto the
first man and his creator. 1t stretch
es forward through all the genera
tions of the unborn, even unto the
last man. 1t is as broad as immeas-

THE stupendous fact of this part
nership of life, we are slow to learn,
slowest of all to practice it to the
fullest of it's privileges and obliga-
tions.
Man begins life as an exaggerated
ego-and some of us end it, so far
as this world is concerned. exempli-
flying only the superlative of that
exaggeration. Individ ualism is pri-
mary aboriginal characteristic of
man. Life is a constant struggle be-
tween individualism and social re-
lationship.

and see how even his first and wholly

barbarian, a cave man. Given the
strength of arm and a stone axe
and he would do deeds of destruc-
tion, the mere thought of which,
makes us shudder. AS he grows

doth he wage against society, against

Lothing for others but only for him
self. But slowly and surely he learns
the first lesson in the partnership
of life-the family partnership. With
loving council and precept. and some
times with loving-and even un-
loving-discipline he is taught the
family relation and obligation. Then
comes the partnership of school life

always the ego struggles for self

communities and society at large.
And now the lessons come thick and
fast. He finds that life is not only
a partnership with his fellow men.
but with nature and natures God.
And so we come to the thought
that the highest and best citizen
ship is attained only by him who
learns best the lessons of life's uni
versal partnership and puts them
most completely and efficiently into

THOUGHTS OF THINKERS.

degraded lily, yet from this lowly
plant trained by the primitive man
further back than the dawn of his
tory, the nations derive their main
susje nance, their staff of life. If
tie human race We're to perish
from the earth, wheat could not
survive more than three years af-
terward- Indeed. a German econo-
mist argues that wheat was the or

available of foods. but because it

Criminal CusSedness.

Iowa is noted among auto drivers
as state of bad culverts. But
they have something besides bad
culverts. Just below Burr Oak on
the DEBORAH road is level stretch
of highway which might tempt any
driver to open the throttle bit and
take ON more speed, but woe to
him if he has not his machine under
perfect control. Just in front of a
farmers house a small ditch has
been dug right across the road and
into this you go with bump which
will rattle your teeth and jar your
machine from crank handle to the
rear lamp. The pesky thing can
not be seen fifty feet away and
seems to have been dug on pur-
pose to wreck the autos of all who
pass that way. 1t is piece of
criminal cussedness or worse and
does not speak we'll for the road
overseer who permits it. 1t is sim
ply an outrage. DEBORAH papers
please copy.-Preston Times.

THE WARM FALL.

The summerish weather of the
past month has led to the wearing
of old clothes. You could not per-
suade the mother of family to
rig out her brood in fall toggery
when an Indian summer sun was
encouraging their old straw hats or
going barefoot.
Although this has meant econo-
mics for the common people, the
weather has not been viewed with
equanimity by the clothing and dry
goods men. 1t takes frequent and
sharp reminders of coming snow
and ice to make people dissatisfied
with their summer clothes. Many
retailers are complaining that the
unreasonable weather has rendered
October, ordinarily month OF
lively trade, as sleepy as August.
1t will take a lot of advertising
to empty those shelves. Otherwise
many people who have worn sum-
merish goods so long will skip the
middleweights' of fall clothing.
They will not buy anything before
wintry weather, unless you can
make them believe you have bar
gains that may be missed later.

A GREAT COMEDY.
''Seven Days." Brilliant New York
Success, Coming Nov. 18th.

Seven Days" that Messrs. Wa
genthals & Kemper will present at
the Grand opera house Saturday
evening, Nov. IL, is an up-to-the-
minute comedy dealing with New
York's smart set. 1t is class all the
way through. Fashionable folks
are quarantined in a house in which
policeman and burglar are also
trapped. There is one week of up
roarious fun that starts in the
drawing room of Riverside Drive
house, descends to the kitchen and
goes up to the roof, and is a laugh
from start to finish. The New York
Evening Telegram said in it's re-
view of this comedy:
Gales of laughter swept over
the Aston last night at the first
performance of Seven Days and
when the audience left the theatre
their facets were shining with smiles
and their hearts were big with
gratitude to Mary Roberts Rine-
hart and Avery Hopwood who wrote
the sparkling comedy. See Seven
Days and laugh"
Players who appeared in the
piece at the Astor Theatre where
it has run into it's second year, will
act it here, and the production will
be exactly the same as the one on
Broadway. Of all the theatrical an
nouncements of the season that of
Seven Days" will surely create the
greatest interest, for this is the
leading comedy hit of twenty years.
Seats now on sale, prices soc, 75c,
$1.0O and $3.50.
