Buy At Home

Just a word-Before purchasing
that next money order give your
home merchant an opportunity to
make you cash price on the goods
you require. Mind you we say Cash
price. When you buy by mail you
pay cash. 1t costs money to carry
accounts and the mail order houses
realize it. With cash your home
merchant can buy cheaper and sell
cheaper.
If you are still determined to pur-
chase by mail-at least 60 in and
compare the goods received with
those your home merchant carries
and then figure out how much money
you have saved. Convince yourself
that you can purchase as cheaply at
home quality and cash payment con-
sidered as you can by mail.
Build up your home community
it spells osperity-means increased
values for city and farm propert y
and products. Higher wages for
your workers.
Give your trade to your home
dealer the man who extends you
credit when you are in need of it.
Can you for your own individual
prosperity afford to do other than CO.
operate with your home merchant?

The New Law

According to a report from Helena,
Montana is now prepared to STAN
dardize every weight and measure in
the state from one grain to a ton,
and from sixth of an inch to a.mile.
And Joe Corby. deputy state sealer
of weights and measures, has pre-
pared to 60 forth into the byways and
highways of commerce to ascertain if
full value is being given to purchasers.
"You'll probably be having trouble
now, - was suggested to him.
"No, ] don't think so," said Mr..
Corby, IT have talked with a great
many merchants, and they welcome
the passage Of this weights and meas
ures law, and will be glad, if their
weights and measures are wrong, to
know it, and bring them up to the re-
quired Standard
Friday morning there was received
from the bureau of standards at
Washington the last of the equipment
needed to carry out the purposes of
the law. The paraphernalia was pur-
chased from an eastern concern that
makes speciality of manufacturing
standardization goods, and was
shipped to the bureau Of standards
at Washington which examined every
piece and kept sending it back until
it was absolutely correct.
There are two complete outfits.
One is an office testing outfit and the
other travelling inspectors outfit,
for testing liquid and dry measures,
apothecary and standard weigh ts,
yard sticks, rules, tapes, etc. The
dry measure equipment ranges from
a gill to half bushel. and the liquid
measure from gill to five gallons.
The weights range from one grain to
fifty pounds.
In the travelling inspectors outfit
are pair of balances, a yard tape
line, foot rule, and vessels ranging
in size from one gill to a quart.
There is also full kit of repair tools,
including a stamp with which to
mark weights and measures, "Sealed,
M. 1"11," or "Condemned," as the
case may be.
The larger and more complete out
fits will be kept in the Office to test
the standardization outfits each
county is supposed to have in it's
possession, and also to test weights
or measures that may be sent in.

Attempted Bank Robbery

At 1925 Monday morning three
men OH horseback rode into Harlem
and dismounted at a place close to
Senator Everett's First National
Bank ut IIlarlem. One of the men
remained with the horses while the
other two entered the bank building.
AS they approached the cashiers
window one of the intruders pulled
his gun and ordered Cashier j. A.
Hatch and Assistant J. A. Rasmussen
to throw up their hands and stand
with their backs to the wall while the
other intruder entered the door to
the inner room of the bank. "~
When the bank employees were ine
timidated, the leader of the two pro-
duced sack and proceeded to rake
in all the money that lay near the
cashiers window and then turned his
attention to the vault.
Not forgetting that he had left his
six-shooter OH the counter, he turned
to pick it up but in doing so care
lessly, the weapon was discharged
and the noise led to the failure of
this bold daylight robbery.
Attorney John A. Collins and Fred
Brockway, who were in the office of
the former in the rear of the bank
building, heard che noise madeby the
discharging Of the gun and hurried
to the bank. Both were promptly
covered with a gun and ordered into
the room to take position against
the wall with their hands in the air.
Richard Laswell, marshall of the
town and also deputy sheriff of the
county, had also heard the pistol
shot and made quick time to the rear
of the bank building and entering the
back door of the bank in a STOPPING
position, saw the four men lined up
against the wall. 1t was just about
then that the robber came out Of the
vault with the sack in his hand con-
tanning $4,000. The marshal fired
and brought the bandit to the floor,
but as he fell he fired shot at the
marshal. The other bandit also fired
several shots at Laswell before maxi
ing his getaway but none of them
took effect and the two men rode
away as fast as their horses could
carry them.
Neighboring towns were at once
notified and several posses from Har-
lem Immediately set out in pursuit.
Their escape had been we'll planned.
All telephone wires leading out of
Harlem had been cut, and wire fences
between Harlem and the river had
been cut down,
The dead man was about 35 years
of age but there was nothing OH his
person to betray his identity. All
three men were dressed in corduroy
trousers and were in their shirt
sleeves.
The plunder secured in the sack a.
mounted to from $4,000 to $4,000
which the bank would in all proba-
bility have lost had it not been for
the courage Of Marshal Laswell.

Center Of Population

The center of population is now To-
Gated on Samuel II. Stevens farm in
the hills of Monroe county, four
miles south of Unionville, and eight
miles east of Bloomington, Indiana.
This center of population of the
United States has moved slightly to
the westward in the last decade.
Mr.. Stevens owns a farm of 1856
acres, and what sort of pers onal sat
isfaction it is for him to have be-
come famous, may be found in his
own words:
lit does sound kind of funny.
Here I've been a-livin' OH the old
place all my life and now it turns
out that it IS the hub of the whole
country. 1t sorter makes me feel
that I'm an axle and that the spokes
are rnnnin' round me. 1t certainly
is surprisin' sure enough.
"Why, / can remember when l
used to go out and shoot deer and
wild turkeys instead of havin' to go
to town when / wanted meat. At
night you could hear the timber
wolves howlin' in the hills and it
was an every day happening to kill a
rattlesnake. l never dreamed that
I'd some day be the central figure Of
the country, as they say about me.
l never thought that such all honor
would belong to the old farm, eth
