SOLD FOR $40.
AS has been stated, this particular
piece of horse flesh, hitched TO a fair
ly good rig, was rented to a patron.
Said patron sojourned to Moline and
sold the outfit to the auctioneer of the
sale for $40, an amount way below the
real value of the outfit. At the sale,
John Murrin, another local dealer, bid
the outfit in at $40. He was greatly
elated over his purchase till he learn
ed later in the day that he had no
claims on his purchase and that he
might have to hustle to secure his
money. The outfit was returned to Mr..
Moeller and Mr.. Murrin went for his
money. 1t was returned to him, and
now the auctioneer is taking a slant
at various characters in an effort to
locate the man who got his $40. All he
wants is his money and the matter
will be closed so far as he is concern

great popular sentiment Of the American
people. and deploring the defeat for the
movement Of his high purpose, We call
upon the people for unremittins endeavor
to secure the early conclusion Of treaties

1T is pre-eminently the duty OF the
United States to maintain strong leader
ship in this commanding cause. We

cation by the senate Of the United States
Of the declaration of London which
makes II possible to establish the inter

OF organization and procedure for this

OF peaceful settlement are exhausted"

What the Gillette Will Do
for You

Whatever your shaving habits may be,
no matter how tender your shin or tough
and wiry your beard, the Gillette will
give you clean velvet shave.
It will give you light shave or close
shave (closef than a barber dare give
you), with no roughness, no irritation.
It is not necessary that you know how
to shave yourself. You do not need to be
''tool-wise" or handy. There is no strop-
ping, no honing. o.
You quickly get the knack Of the Gil.
lette and you will learn little individual
shave-simplifying tricks every day you
useit.
The wonder of the Gillette is its
adaptability-the wayit meets individual
needs.
Every mans face is different. Your
beard is individual in the way it grows
and its shaving requirements.
The adjustment of the Gillette will
suit your beard and your skin. The
