Good Time at w. R. c. Meeting.

Saturday June "a, was regular the
session for the W. r. G. There
was a good attendance as we ex-
pected to hear good report from
our delegation who attended the
Dept. Convention at Green Bay.
Mrs. Elva Burrows was the one
upon whose shoulders fell the duty
of giving to the stay-at-homes her
impressions. It is needless to say she
was fully equal to the occasion and
gave us a report which covered
their experiences from start to
finish. But what we didn't expect
came afterward. Our resourcefuI
tea committee knew that this was
the last time Mrs. Harcleroad would
be with us, planned and executed a
pleasant surprise. A pleasing pro-
gram consisting of piano duets and
solos, Rotations and songs. all
gwen by daughters of our members,
and enjoyed by us all. Then to
complete the surprise refreshments
were served. Ice cream and cake.
The day was one of the record
breakers for heat, but we almost
forgot that while enjoying the social
chat and other good things. Cor.

About Advertising.

The best and most successful firms
in business recognize that the subject
of advertising is an essential feature
and must be considered with the other
expense incident to the marketing of
their goods. I think we can safely
say says trained advertising writer,
that no business enterprise ever
was successful for any length of time
without advertising in some manner
Even in small towns you can look
about you and pick out the advertis-
ing merchants from the one who fails
to make public the fact that he has
wares for sale, either from prejudice
or short sightedness.
Piled away upon shelves, in lofts,
and In warehouses are millions of
dollars worth of good goods waiting
to be sold and they would be sold if
the proper party was behind the enter
prise to make them sell. The buy
ing public are not mind readers they
do not know that you are anxious to
turn your stock and get dead invest
ment moving.
1t is not necessary to squander
money without reason to advertise
there is such thing as injudicious
advertising, as we'll as ipjudicious
buying, but think we'll of the most

BURGLAR At DEPOT
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Charles Boyd, Expressman, Dis
covered Robbing the Till.
Waived Examination Yesterday After
noon and was Bond Over t.
the Circuit Court.

For consld cradle period of time
Geo. S. Rockwell, agent for the Chi
cago q Northwestern railway com
pany at this station, has been ms
sing sums of money from the cash
drawer, with nothing to indicate
suspicion against any particular
person. Such losses ne has made
good from his own pocket as dlscov-
cred from time to time, without
saying anything about it until Mon
day last, when he called the atten-
ton of his operator, Cecil White, to
the matter.
White also carries a key to the
cash drawer, and realizing the del
icate situation in which be was
placed in the matter, at once deter
mined to do a little detective work
in the hope of locating the guilty
party.
At noon everybody leaves the de-
pot, during the dinner hour, and
at Whites suggestion Messrs. Rock
we'll, White and Baggageman Jew
ell secreted themselves IN the Brit
ingham & H1xon lumber yard across
the track, where by peering through
the cracks of coal shed they could
keep close watch upon the depot.
During their hours vigil they saw
a man enter the waiting room, raise
the window IN front Of the baggage
department and crawl through into
the Office. At this time boy who
was assisting with the express,
came into the depot and the man
passed through into the next room
without knowing that he had been
watched.
Yesterday noon the railroad men
again went ION watch" with city
Marshal Mccartney in waiting in
the express room adjoining the Of
fee. Again the same man entered
the waiting room, raised the win
dow, crawled through, and hurried
ly prying open the cash drawer, alb
stracted sum of money which he
placed in his pocket. At this mo-
ment the marshal appeared upon
the scene with drawn revolver and
ordered the man to throw up his
AAc%AO0s WA4Nh AO ElOAlpt1y OICS dAU
Mr.. Rockwell was called to come
and recover his money.
The thief proved to be Charles
Boyd, who handles the express for
FL. E. Barnett. Boyd has held this
important position for an extended
period and has always been looked
upon as an honest and reliable man.
His friends will regret to learn that
he has Teen engaged in such a de-
plorable transaction, as he was
caught directly IN the act, and there
is no question whatever about his
guilt.
Boyd was rlaced under arrest by
Marshal George Mccarthy and was
taken before Justice Frank Calls
for preliminary hearing. He chose
to waive examination and was
bound over to appear at the fall ses-
sion of circuit court for trial. The
bail was placed at $1,000 which he
has not secul ed as yet.

TWO ENTERTAINING
TALKS ABOUT MEXICO
Given at the Congregational
Church Last Sunday.
By Rev. James D. Eaton, Former Cit
izen, Now Pastor of Church
at Chihuahua.

Rev. James u. Eaton, pastor Of a
Congregational church in city of
Chihuahua, Mexico, now with his
wife taking vacation in Wisconsin,
has been spending several days the
past week with Lancaster friends.
this being the city Of his birth, and
his father the late Rev. Samuel
Eaton. having been for 40 years
pastor of the local congregational
church, beginning away back in 1847.
The present Congregational church
was erected during the time OF his
pastorate-in 1918.
DR.. Eaton delivered two very in
teresting addresses at the Congrega-
tional church last Sunday morning
and evening taking as his subjects,
largely, Mexican history and Mexican
affairs. He has lived in chihuahua
for about 20 years and is familiar
with the people and the affairs Of that
country. He reviewed Mexico's
history tor the past 100 years and
sketched the lives and work of three
Mexican leaders whose heads were
shown upon gold medal he carries
Miguel Hidalgo. Benito Juarez, and
PorfriO Diaz.
Miguel Hidalgo was a Catholic
priest and the first revolutionist in
the Mexican war for independence.
He was captured while on his way to
the United States 10 obtain arms and
military aid, imprisoned for time in
a dungeon in an old church tower in
the city of chihuahua and finally
shot, July 81, 1911, his head being
carried back to Guanajusta where it
was suspended in Lewiston from an
iron hook, in the plaza.
Benito Pablo Juarez, native lawyer
and statesman, elected vice president
of Mexico in 1857 and succeeded to
the presidency in 1853 but did not
enter the city Of Mexico until three
years later, at the end of protracted
Civil War. Following the execution
of Maxamllian in 1867 Juarez was
again elected president and reelected
in 1871. His liberal and vigorous
policy was Of great benefit to the
nation and he has sometimes been
called the Washington of Mexico =
Gen. Porfrio Diaz, who recently
resigned as president of Mexico and is
now in exile in Spain, was a lawyer
and soldier, and came into power as
president of the republic in 1877 at
the end of a brief but successful
revolution He retired at the end Of
his term but was reelected in 1884
and has been president and military
dictator ever since. While his rule
has been absolute and hard, he
brought peace and prosperity to the
republic and built up it's industries of
all kinds by the liberal encouragement
and protection of foreign capital.
During the past few years the spirit
of unrest among the people and the
demand for political reforms finally
led to the recent revolution, which
resulted in Diaz' resignation and flight
and the accession of the victorious
insurreCtos to power. FRANCHISE
Madero was the master mind behind
this recent movement and when the
election occurs next October it is ex-
pected that he will become the new
president. DR. Eaton's sympathies are
apparently with the Madero party.
