That strikes terror to the entire
household is the loud, hoarse and
metallic cough of Group. No mistak-

parents who keep Foley's Honey and

1t might as we'll be understood now
as later that the school board will
tolerate no meddling with the man
agement Of the schools, and discipline
will be enforced regardless OF who
may come under the rule. Superin-
tendent Boot may make mistakes, as
every other school officer may do at
times, but it is evident to every fair
minded man or woman, that he is
giving his best efforts to make our
schools successful and he has succeed
ed to a marked degree. He is doing
good work and has brought the schools
up to a high standard. Harmony in
school work means success, and the
school board is determined to have
harmony.
The Lyric moving picture enter
tainment Is located in the Ken
nedy opera house, and the advantages
afforded make the moving picture
feature a very realistic stage perfor-
nance. Manager Campbell will now
be able to give Canton a better per
Torrance than two thirds OF the
travelling companies can give. The
moving pictures are from the best in
real life, and with modern appliances
and fine auditorium, the moving pic
ture is fast driving out the cheap
theatre companies that have held the
boards for years because there was
nothing else.
Among the many beautiful new
homes built in Canton during 1911.
the ~handsomest, in many respects, Is
the new bungalow Of Dr.. Anderson.
The design is OF the latest elaborate
bungalow style, conveying with it an
evidence of style, comfort and wealth,
and the cost will crowd $1,000 very
close. 1t reminds one of the beautiful
bungalows owned by wealthy residents
of southern California, but DR.. and
Mrs. Anderson, we believe, will find
as much comfort and pleasure in their
new and elegant home in Canton as
any of those who seek the warmer
climate.
The Editor enjoyed a very pleasant
visit last week from Charles w. Vcg-
es of Big Timber, Montana, who is
here on a visit to his parents at
Worthing, and his son. who is spend
ing the winter with Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Wendt of this city. Charlie is still
carrying his youth around with him
although he was old enough to vote
several years ago, but the Montana
atmoshere keeps n young and full
of youth. He is an extensive raiser of
cattle and sheep and lives in the
beautiful Yellowstone valley. 1t is
something like fourteen years since
he went out to Montana and fortune
has favored him. We enjoyed his
visit and talked over old times and
about old timers. He says his latch
string hangs out in bold relief for all
Lincoln county boys who may be in
that country.

This is the verdict of r. J. Howell,
Tracy. O., who bought Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound for his wife.
"Her case was the worst I have ever
seen, and looked like q case Of con-
sumption. Her lungs we're sore and
she coughed almost necessarily and
her voice was hoarse and weak. F0leyb
Honey and Tar Compound brought
relief at once and less than three bot
ties effected q complete cure"

SHAME ON 'EM

The whole fabric of society is
honey with corruption and
reeking with rottenness. Scandal
and scads, rascality and riches, go
hand in hand, and they are the only
things that can open the gilded doors
of society to a man or woman. If
you want to stand in with the 400
foolish fops of garrulous Gotham or
any other center of snobdom, you
have got to be financially sound and
morally rotten. Society never en-
quires how you got your dough or
how you lost your decency, so long
as your pocket sags heavily and you
are willing to go the gaits. Maudlin
matrimony, promiscuous paramours
and doodlebug divorces constitute the
sum of life in swelldom.
Oh, for a law that would compel
these kid-glove kangaroos. to get out
of their gilded dens and follow a
burly Buckeye Binder in the blister
| ing sun! And, oh, for another law
that would lift the be-jeWeled and
be-alimonied female fops out of their
sealskin slippers and put them to ply
ing. a pair of greasy overalls across
the corrugated bosom Of a wash
board! @
