In canned corn, you'll find the Hart

Last, but not by any means least,
Is canned kraut, packed by William
Larson Canning Co., of Green Bay,
Wis. and the Muscatine Kraut pack
ed by the Zigler Canning Co., of that
city. People who are lovers of good
kraut oft times fail to realize that
the canned article is so much better
than that which is bought in bulk
but all that Is asked is good iudg-
ment and a fair trial of any of the

of the best goods that are carried by
an up-to-date wholesale grocery. All
goods that are furnished the trade by

est standard quality anu the most de-
sirable that can be prepared 1t is
just from this fact, that thousands of
satisfied store keepers have been won
to the local wholesale grocery firm

The Buck-Reiner Co. is one of the
few houses who believe it is fair
business proposition to the packer
that his label be put upon his line of
goods, receiving the recognition due
him and the consumer will also know
exactly what they are getting when
they ask for particular brand of
goods.

The Buck-Reiner house is one of the

Tale of a Trunk Taken

Cant do it. Winters, you go and
return Mr.. Bennett that trunk, collect
your right fee-six dollars only, as
you agreed,-but only after you have
given bond in the sum of $500 to ap-
pear before the court under the
charge as stated
Then it became time for Winters to
relent and repent at the same time
All of his bluff and bravado disap-
peared, and he pleaded for mercy in
behalf of himself and his family,
saying he was sorry and would do
anything now
At this moment the appearance of
Winters helper attracted Mr.. Ben
nets attention
There's the man I want. Mr.. Man
nix. I charge him with assault.
That's the fellow who grabbed and
held me when the trunk was taken"
"All right, sir; I'll go you one. Mr..
Helper, you are arrested and held for
$50 because of this assault"
Now will you be good, you Whit
ers and helper? Mr.. ex-Mayor Nc
Avoy stood for the $500 Winters
bond, and Winters stood for the
helper. He helped help the helper
who was held-but the helper thought
he was in-hoc!
Anyhow, it's long lane that knows
no turning. In future the express
men will be less arrogant and less
bullying. They wont wait till the
next morning, when the men folk are
away from home, to make deliveries,
when timid women are forced to pay
or have trouble. They will stick to
prices that are right. or
