Advertising chautauqua.

There seems to be a good
many differences of opinion as
to when is the proper time to
commence advertising our
Chautauqua. Some think it
should be started three months
before, while some think it best
to wait until three weeks be-
fore. For comparison, we will
mention a few other towns. The
Boone County Fair, which will
be held in September is now
being advertised. The Inter-
state fair at Sioux City, which
is held in the latter part of
September is now being adver-
tised. The Des Moines State
Fair have been advertising and
have had the preium lists print
ed for several weeks, and the
fair dosn't start until August
"a. To make q success of any
thing, it must be advertised a
reasonable length of time be-
fore in order to give the peop-
lie time to study over the posi-
bility of attending. We do not
mean that newspaper advertise
ing should be used so far ahead
but small placards or the like.
should be used to the best adj
vantage. The premium list for
the Harrison County Fair
should be out before now.

Missouri Valley junction

Being often asked why our
town was called Missouri VAL
ley junction, we answer, as we
understand it, when the C.. &
N. W., road was built, it came
down the Boyer valley, and on
reaching this point, the Boyer
and Missouri Valley found a
junction here. and the railroad
company naturally called it
Missouri Valley junction. At
that time the town plat of this
city, was the Mcintosh farm,
and not a town.
Afterwards the S. c. & Pa
cific road started at this point
for Sioux City, building up the
Valley, and in due time the F.
E. & M. V. road, starting at
this point, going westward,
crossing the Missouri river at
Blair, and building westward,
made this city the junction Of
the Chicago & Northwestern,
the Sioux City and Pacific and
the Fremont, Elkhorn and Mis-
souri, Valley roads, all center
ing here, and in fact making
this Missouri Valley juno tion,
altho the junction has long
since been dropped from the
name Of the town.
In an early day, not liking
the name, succeeded in having
a vote taken for and against
the name of Missouri Valley,
selecting another, but the vot-
ers of the town, by almost 2 to
l vote, decided to continue the
original name with the juno
ton left off, and so we have it
at this day. The name is
expressive Of a valley reaching
up and down the Missouri river
some twelve hundred miles,
and we have been asked, when
telling a-stranger that we live
at Missouri Valley, "What part

Our people are well pleased
with the name, and would not
exchange it for the name ''Par-
adise." And so let it remain.

Honest Medicines
Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent mess
age suggesting an amendment
to the Pure Food and Drugs
law in its relation to prepared
medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as
Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound and Foley Kidney Pills,
both of which are true medi-
cines carefully compounded Of
ingredients whose medical
qualities are recognized by the
medical profession itself as the
best known remedial agents for
the diseases they are intended
to counterfeit: For over three
decades Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound has been a standard
remedy for coughs, colds and
affections ofsthe throat, chest
and lungs for children and for
grown persons, and it retains
today its pre-eminence above
all other preparations Of its
kind. Foley Kidney Pills are

she insisted on telling him, between
suppressed sobs. just why she was so
nervously overweight that she wept,
often, without rhyme or reason. He
gathered that her mother was i'll in

dismissal from the chorus had caught
her almost entirely without funds.
She had borrowed small sums from her
