The Size of It.

If the Postmaster General would
give more time to the improvement
of his mail service and less time to
making orders affecting newspaper
and magazine postage. he would
confer a favor on long suffering
public There has been more com
plants received at this office from
outside parties not receiving their
papers in the last two months than
there has been in the last two years.
Why not the newspapers complain
and ask the post Office department
to publish a statement of the inter
ior workings of their Office, as they
demand of the newspapers. Give us
a square deal.--Ames Times.
Says Lon Hardin in the Ames
Times. We claim he doesn't show
any signs Of brain storm in that
article. We'd be satisfied with halt
square deal--Ellsworth News.

TO REMOVE BANGLE
Guy Roper Undergoes a Peculiar
Operation.

Eagle Grove, Dec. 7.--tuy Roper,
six years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Roper OF this city, underwent a
peculiar surgical operation in the
Eagle Grove hospital yesterday.
Wednesday noon, while at play about
the house, his little sister handed
him a metal bangle, and he put 1t
into his mouth. The lad had q bad
cold, and as he took it iIto his
mouth he began to cough and 1t
lodged in his windpipe.
The metal bangle was Oh c5 belt,
which were worn as a fad a few
years ago It is about as large as
lead pencil and about two and a hal
inches in length.
Dr.. Carver came from Fort Dodge
and assisted local physicians IN oper-
ating. They cut into the threat at
the neck, and the bangle was remov-
ed through the mouth. II took con-
siderable strength on the part OF the
physicians TO dislodge the bangle.

No Cause to Worry.

Hampton Chronicles: The dis
patches state that the Hamilton
county republicans are worrying a
bit over what representation they
will have at the next state conven-
ton. They believe that the small
vote for Taft will be the means of
cutting down the representation
from that county very materially.
all they have to do is to get busy
and do little figuring and they
will find that even with much
smaller representation at the state
convention they will have just as
many delegates In proportion to
their vote as the balance Of the
counties Of the state, as Taft ran
about the same in all OF the coun-
ties OF course, he held his own in
"a few counties little more than

INSTRUCTIONS TO
N. ". A. MEMBERS
Procedure to be Followed Under In.
junction now in Force-Head
Clerk Explains.

John D. Porter, clerk of the Web
ster City Camp M. w. A., has receiv-
ed instructions of the procedure to
be pursued by members Of the order
under the injunction issued by Judge
Shirley in Illinois, effective in every
state in the union. Among other
things the head clerk says:
No member shall suffer in his
membership rights because of his
transfer to the new rates, or because
of his application for such transfer.
The head clerk is authorized by the
executive council to take up these
cases and, as rapidly as possible, adj
just individual conditions as to rate
payments, while said injunction is
in force, to the terms of the courts
order. Members who have not trans
ferred or made application for trans
ferring to the new rates will be per-
mitted to pay the old rates. Clerks
of camps will, for the present, dis
regard the official instructions here
tofore issued, directing the re-
rating Of members on January /,
1913.
While the injunction is in force
all new business will be written at
the old rates, but the application
blank will contain provision
whereby the member will agree to
accept and abide by the new rates in
case said injunction is dissolved.
Members who have Joined the soci-
ETY. since May 1, 1912, and who are
rated under the, new rates, will be
communicated with individually and
fully advised as to the situation.
They will be permitted to pay, If
they desire, the old rates while the
injunction Is in force.
Deputies will solicit applications
for membership on the basis of the
old rates.
In closing, the head clerk express
ses his confidence in the ultimate
vindication of the course Of the
head camp In this rate controversy.

he did in others, but the difference
would not amount to much.
Then again, it is not likely that
the state central committee will APP
portion the county delegates by the
vote on the head of the ticket. They
can put the representation on the
basis of the vote on governor, and
this is what will probably be done,
as it would give each county close
to normal delegation in the state
convention If the county delega-
ton to the next state convention
We're based on the vote of the head
of the ticket, Franklin county would
have about five delegates, but If bas-
ed on the vote for governor we will
have nine or ten delegates, close to
the normal number which we have
been having each year. The Hamil-
ton county republicans do not need
to worry. They have plenty of COM
pany, no matter which way the
basis of representation is decided.

How to get Sale Crowds.

Jewell Record: The farmers of
Hamilton county are awakening to
the notion that advertising pays.
When a merchant plans for special
sale that he estimates will bring
him $1,000 worth of business, he
does not consider $25 or even $40
too much to spend to let the people
know what he is going to sell.
When a farmer is going to hold a
public sale the proceeds of which
will run from $1,000 to $4,000, the
same logic is applicable.
An auctioneer in a neighboring
county says that nobody understands
the value of advertising any better
than the auctioneer. Experience
has taught him that poorly adver-
tised sales are the hardest to cry
and the results as rule are the
most unsatisfactory to the owner.
There are no men who can use ad-
vertising more effectively than the
farmers who are holding public
sales. 1t must also be said that few
men lose so much money through
failure to appreciate the value OF
advertising and the necessity OF
spending money for it as the farm
er.
1t is true that sales are advertised
more than they were a few years
ago but still they are not advertised
as they should be. The average
farmer should advertise his sale to
the extent of SIS and there are
times when he should exceed even
the above amount. Yet there are
men who expect to sell property
and who think they have advertised
literally when they have stuck ur
a few bills. They save a few dol
lars by so leaving the newspapers
out, but one additional buyer would
more than pay for all the advertis-
| ing. An additional bid on their
horse of $40 or the establishing OF
a 81 higher average on their COWS
| would pay for all the advertising
and more. The average newspaper
is read by hundreds of prospective
buyers whom the bills might never
reach.
It Is the newspaper that gives the
most valuable advertising. The
! farmer thinks nothing of driving / {
or 90 miles to attend sale If. In
reading over a list of stock offered
he sees some horses or cattle which
he thinks would suit him and 1t IL
these farmers who live several mile:
from the sale who would not learr
of the bills, but must depend upor
the newspaper for information con
corning 1t. He sits in his home
and reads the description Of thu
property that someone at a consid
cradle distance Is offering for sal,
and makes up his mind to attend
/ And that kind OF a visitor is wortl
| a dozen who come for the purpose o
. visiting and with no definite inten
ton Of buying, unless things ar
extremely cheap.

n. The Strange
q Night Ride Of
Bicycling Billy

RACK wanted a bicycle story.
"Haye I ever told you the story of Bicycling BulyT asked daddy Of
Jack and Evelyn
@ mot that W e can member they answered.
"In some ways that bicycle was a good thing for BilEs folks At fHt he
was always glad of an excuse to use it. If grandma wanted some more yarn
or a bit Of cambria from the store Billy was always anxious to go after it. and
grandma was always pleased with the speed with which Billy brought back
her yarn or cambria.
"But things changed. BY and by the bicycle got to- be an old story, and
Billy did lot hurry so fast 1t wasn't that the bicycle went any slower, but
Billy would stop and chat whenever ne met a friend.
There was one rule Bflys father and mother had made about the bicycle
That was that Billy must always be in with it before dark.
sometimes when Billy had stayed longer than he should with some chums
he had to scorch home at a lively rate.
zone evening he had gone In to the home Of a boy friend to see some inter.
esung new puppies, and st was getting dark when he came out.

rode an odd bicycle The front wheel was very, very tall, ana the bach Wheel
was very, very small
"The stranger was the speediest blcycler Billy had ever seen, and the boy
hustled to keep up with hin. Bny never allowed Q bicycle which was going
his way to get ahead Of him.
suddenly Billy looked down and he thought he saw : ntae hole n The

and there little riffs in the gray through which he could see the stars shining

REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.

In the current number of The New
York Medical Journal DR.. Lambert OFT
of Philadelphia, says that acetyImethy-
I~enedisalicylic acid is an "unquestion-
able" remedy for rheumatism. This
remedy with such a formidable tech
nical name is known in the drug trade
as urasol and is composed Of the fol-
lowing ingredients: salicylic acid, rs
per cent; acetic acid, II per cent, and
formaldehyde, 8 per cent.
DR.. OFT insists, contrary to DR.. os-
ler's conclusions, that the salycyl com
pounds are chiefly pain believers that
do not influence the duration of the
disease, that this particular compound
when used for rheumatism not only re-
lieves pain but also causes the rapid
subsistence of swelling and fever, and
is a veritable antitoxine especially de-
structive to the rheumatic poison.
He says that even in those chronic
rheumatic conditions where the joints
have become stiff and almost ankyl-
osed from engagements, and where
those conditions have not been made
permanent through the destruction OF
some of the tissues, or by the shut
ting off Of the nutritional processes
of the parts Improvement can be con-
fidently looked for, and with the as
france that there will be no further
progress of the disease"
