G. E. Party at Pres. Church
Last evening the Christian
Endeavor society of the Pres.
church gave a pretty party to
their friends. The church par
Tor was decorated profusely
with asparagus and goldenrod.
Games and stunts of differ
ent sorts were all in order.
Charades were played and a
remarkable story was told.
Every person telling a part, and
as a result it grew from a story
into a yarn and then it grew.
There was an opportunity
given for the clever ones to
distinguish themselves in the
guessing Of objects correspond
ing to expressions given in
their catalogues. Telegraph
blanks were distributed and
pencils were provided with in
structions to write a telegram
of ten words, each word to be-
gin with an initial letter of
your name. Sayde Briggs
wrote one that provoked much
laughter and it was voted by
all the best. Refreshments of
lice cream, cake and coffee were
,served towards the middle Of
the evening by the Misses Ida
bell Briggs, Sybil Smith and
Annabel Bisbee. Everyone re-
ports a good time and they hope
that there will be another par
ty soon.

FIRE MADE FAMlLYHOME
LESS
Fire Destroys Fine House of
T. 6. Stokes of Gilnlanton
Wednesday

The following was clipped
from a South Dakota paper
and refers to a family for years
residents of this county.
Just as the Independent is
being printed the information
comes from Gilmanton that
7. B. Stokes lost his house
by fire at 6 o'clock this morn
ing. Mr.. Stokes had started
the fire and went to the barn
to do some chores when he
noticed flames issuing from the
upper story of the house. Mrs.
Stokes and three children were
in bed and Mr.. Stokes came
just in time to save them from
being burned as the flames
we're spreading rapidly and
within an hour the home had
been reduced to ashes. All
household goods were burned
together with the clothing.
The house is covered by 5000
insurance and $500 is carried
on the household goods. Mr..
Stokes stated to a representa-
tive of the Independent that
he will rebuild as soon as the
insurance company has made
the adjustment.

The Value of a Tree.
Chicago Tribune)

Foresters are interested in a
recent decision of the New
York courts sustaining a claim
for $500 for a tree cut down by
a construction company. This
was upheld as a fair estimate
of its ''going value" 1t was
not based on sentiment, al
though it had no relation to the
value of the tree as lumber or
firewood. The tree, alive, had
been a thing of use and profit
on the street. When it had
been cut down the loss had not
been merely esthetic. It had
been material. Foresters are
encouraged to find that the
courts take this view of the
matter.

Economy is a good thing, hut
a mighty poor place to pratice
it is on the road and bridges
in this county. An extra hum
dred or so of dollars expended
on these will be returned many
times as.the community grows
and travel increases. A good
road and bridge is a delight
for all time. We have in mind
a cement culvert lately INSTALL
ed on the most travled road in
this county probably, and this
culvert is not wide enough that
two teams could scarcely pass
on it, and an auto and a team
meeting there would certainly
necessitate the stopping of one
or both the vehicles. Make the
roads and culyerts or bridges
plenty wide enough. -Obser-
yer.

E. E. Spencer Home Burned

The country home of E. e.
Spencer, two miles east of this
city, burned to the ground ear
ly this morning from an un-
known cause. Mr.. Spencer
was in Nicola at the time and it
is a miracle that the wife and
nine children were saved. The
fire started in the upstairs
closet and was under good
Roadway before Mrs. Spencer
was awakened by the smoke.
Only a few clothes were saved
and the barn was saved by the
heroic work of some of the
neighbors. The house and con-
tents were insured.

Stop That Dandruff

Before it kills your hair. You
know dandruff is a germ disease
and it leads slowly to badness,
there is only one way to cure
dandruff and that is to kill the
germ that causes the trouble.
Greasy salves will never do
this. ZEMO and ZEMO SOAP
kills the germ and are guaran-
teed to cure dandruff, itching
scalp and all other germ dis
eases of the skin and scalp.
ZEMO AND ZEMO SOAP
are the true scientific remedies
for these affections. To show
our faith in ZEMO and ZEMO
SOAP we have instructed the
druggist selling them to refund
your money il you are not sat
isfied with the results from'tte
very first bottle and the first
cake of soap.
We can afford to make this
offer because one bottle of
Zemo and one cake of soap are
sufficient to show their healing
qualities and if used according
to directions, they will effect a
permanent cure. Sold by drgu-
gists everywhere and in Mis-
souri, Valley by r. w. Har vey.

For the week ending Sept.
IL, 1911.

For the week ending Sept.
II, 1911.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The conditions during the
past week were generally fav-
orable for pastures, blowing,
fall seeding, maturing corn and
all kinds of farm work. The
temperature was considerably
above, and the rainfall general
ly below the normal, except
over the northwestern, east
cenl al and southeastern coun-
ties where there was an excess
of moisture. All parts Of the
state, except the southwestern
district, have, he wever, receiv-
ed copious amounts of rainfall
during the past ten days and as
a result pasturage has made
satisfactory advancement and
late potatoes have improved
considerably. The soil is gen.
orally in good condition and
fall blowing and seeding have
progressed rapidly. The work
of cutting and shocking corn
for fodder and filling silos is
nearly completed, the amount
reported cut, varying from 30
to 80 per cent. The bulk of
the corn is now beyond danger
Of injury by an ordinary frost
and practically all of it will be
safe with another week of
warm weather. Some seed
corn has been gathered. A
large crop of apples, plums and
grapes is being harvested.

The Fair

Monday being entry day, the
day for the placing and cata-
loguing the various exhibits in
the Floral hall, but very little
of Importance happened at the
fair grounds but Tuesday
everything was on in full force
and a good crowd was in at
tendance to watch the ball
game. The Floral Hall is quite
we'll filled with the various
housewives skill and the results
of progressive farming. The
exhibits by the merchants are
very limited but those who are
there have very neat and at
tractive displays. The cattle
barns and the chicken houses
are we'll filled with fine bloOded
stock which has created very
much favorable comment. The
grounds are we'll filled with
concessions of various kinds
but all are clean moral shows
as they must be allowed
on the grounds. The center of
interest was the ball game be-
tween Missouri Valley aud Pts.
gah which was won by Mis-
souri, Valley by the score of l
to 0. This eliminates Pisgah
from the rest of the tourna-
ment.

Fire
Last night this city witnessed

Last night this city witnessed
one Of the most spectacular
conflagra'iors ever SEEN here.
About $40 an arm cf fire was
turned IN and it was found to
be in the Standard Oil Com
pany's storage tanks tuated
just south of the railr ,ad tracks
at the foot Of Seventh st. The
fire department just arrived on
the scene when there was quite
a heavy explosion which could
be heard all over the city and
"a burst of flames shot into the
air several hundred feet. This
was from an Oil car standing
on the tracks which the worl ;
men had just started to unload.
The fire was soon communicate
Ell to the large storage tanl s
standing a few feet away and
f-um that time until four
O'Clock this morning TIE
citizens Of this city were treat
ed to a display never before
equalled any Fourth of July
celebration. The burning oil
and gasoline would squirt sever.
al hundr j feet in the air with
a myriad Of sparks or drops of
burning Oil falling from it
every inch of the way. The re
were two storage tanks each
holding about 80, 900 gallons Of
oil and gasoline.
The fire Was s.ar ga it is
thought from the gas ,llne en-
glne which is used t, pump the
oil from the cars into the tan s.
The men were unloading the
tank car and also filling two
street wagons when the fire
started and the only way they
can explain it is that a drop f
gasoline must have dropped
from the pipes onto the engine
as the room was filled with
flames in the twinkling of an
eye. The teams and one wagon
were COTTON out but one of the
wagons was burned. The loss
has not been figured yet but it
will run into the thourands as
the entire plant is a total loss.
The fire department confined
its efforts to keeping all sur
rounding property thoroughly
soaked with water and the only
thing to burn beside the oil
tanks and buildings was a pile
of telegraph poles and ties.

used it so short time were greatly
benefited, and I am perfectly satisfied

weeks treatment we would have been
permanently cured. l was greatly

taking a few doses of "Pep-a-mo, .
was completely relieved of that all
ment, and was so well pleased over
that that l could give my testimonial
