This is to certify that one of
my competitors contracts for two
jobs of Winboro Blue Granite mon
ument for Mr.. r. j. Dew, of Lat
ia, S. c., calls for cash F. o. B
cars at Latta, $4,000. These
jobs were design No. 12O and were
to be designed as follows: Die 2
feet, inches by feet, inches
by l foot. Base feet, by 1 foot
6 inches by 1 foot inches, and
the price for same did not include
foundation nor drayage to cemetery.
These jobs were to be rock finish
except front of die. Mr.. Dew asked
me to make an estimate on the
same design, which / did except
that l made my base two inches
longer and two inches wider, which
makes them better proportioned
and also beveled the tops and pol
ished them and placed the family
name on the beveled top instead OF
on front of dies, which makes
them more attractive and of course
more expensive and nv price for
these jobs, freight, drayage a nd
all other expenses, including ce-
ment foundation for each was
$4,000, which means more than
$4,000 profit to Mr.. Dew and

Pain i'm
Heart

For two years I had pain in
my heart, back and left side.
Could not draw a deep breath
or lie on left side, and any little
eXertion would cause palpita-
ton. Under advice I took
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy and
Nervine. / took about thirteen
bottles, am in better health than
l ever was, and have gained IA
pounds"
MRS. LILLE THOMAS,
Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
For many years DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy has been very.
successful in the treatment of
heart troubles, because of its
tonic effect upon the heart
nerves and muscles. Even in
severe cases of long standing it
has frequently prolonged life for
many years after doctors had
given up all hope, as proven by
thousands of letters we have re-
ceived from grateful people.
Or. Miles Heart Remedy Is sold by all
druggists. u the first bottle falls to
benefit your druggist will return your
money.

IOWA AND The nspnR1s."

Put 1t down that Iowa Is not sport
ing state Professional sports and
sports" do not arouse statewide en-
thusiasn in Iowa, At Dies Moines the
baseball club dwindled and has been
sold and one Of the things Des
doesn't do is TO support league
baseball team Horseracing, except a.
county fairs as an incidental attraction
IS on weak legs in Iowa, pulled. spav-
1ned and tendonstrained. Prizefighting
has It's popularity but there's nothing
doing except occasionally at the met
ropolitan press club and then simply 10
let the ladies peep al a curiosity in
sport"
A fairly good press scorpion has
been desperately striving for weeks to
arouse Iowa TO boiling pitch over the
coming Gotch- Hackenschn1idt wrest-
ling match The "favorite SON" stop
has been pulled clear out and the
pedals worked tu1ously but partlcu-
larly small noise has resulted Iowa
simply refuses to get excited over
0otch. Most Iowa people are far more
interested in what the corn is likely to
make" around Humboldt Even the
"sports" do not discuss the wrestling
match on the street. The pictures Of
the husky young man from Humboldt
with other beefy birds Of feather
about him doesn't draw much more
attention than Munyon's advertisement
or the picture of Marshs mich COW.
The fact is that Iowa understands pro-
fessional sport" is business pursued
for the price, and Iowa goes about It's
own business seeking Its own price If
It were a baseball game between state
amateur champions. however, things
would begin to look up.
All this 10 simply corrohorative OF
the general understanding that the
Iowan Is peculiarly a person OF COM
mon sense and good judgment who
knows what he wants and Is equally
certain Of what he doesn't want. With
al he is no tame rabbit" He spends
his money for automobiles and plays
the board Of trade and bets on politics.

common to all men to stay In the
thick of things after the grasshopper
has become a burden. The desire to
stay on and direct the department Is ~
natural In his case as the desire to
direct matters on the farm he developed
is in the good old farmer who hates to
see another man assume his place. Had
the secretary retired when the present
administration came in 1t certainly
would have save him much bitterness
OF soul and left his fame at its pin
nacle. But none of us are ready to
listen to a recommendation Of abrupt
dismissal of the man whose shrewd
Scotch sense and hard work made the
agricultural department worthy part
of the presidents cabinet.
