7. II. McGINNIs FOR CONGRESS.

V. r. McGinnis of Leon is being
mentioned for congressional nomina-
ton at the hands of the democrats,
and his papers are being circulated
through the district. Should he be
nominated, he would doubtless be
elected because he is one of the
truest, ablest, most progressive and
best democrats in the district-and
the people know that the democrats
are right this year-Osceola Demo-

1T will be good politics for the
primary candidate to keep away
from the farmer just now,' adj
vises the Grundy Democrat. "He
has got a late start this spring and
he doesn't want to be bothered with
candidates. A candidate who wants
to introduce himself to farmer now
should get his picture and pedigree
printed and paste it on top of the
farmers seeder."

New System!
New Goods!
Low Prices!


Having cut out the long credit
system, we are prepared to give
prices which will pay you to buy at
home. Remember, when you buy
at home you create a market for
what you have to sell, no matter
what it consists of, whether it be
farm products, labor or legal ad-
wise, you don't help your own COM
munity when you go outside to
trade; you don't help the farmers
when you buy outside flour, Last
year many people sent away and
went outside to trade. What is the
result? The wheels of industry
have been idle, no building, no bus
mess, no work, no market. Heavy
crops are being harvested and still
a large portion of the old crop is
on hand. 1t is now time for the
people to get together if we want
prosperity at home. Trade at our
place if you can; if not trade with
our competitor, but Trade at Home.
