On Green Hill

|
Sunday afternoon a shotbag con-
tanning nearly $4o0 in money besides
watches. jewelrv ami other vaiua-
bles. was found in the old rock
quarry on Green Hill near the home
of Hugh Morgan. The valuables
are now in the custody,of County
Clerk A. T. Shields in the Court
house vaults.
How information leading to the
recovery Of the money was secured
is q mystery, since no official state
ment has been made with reference
to the lucky haul. That the money
and valuables, a part at least, arc
the same that were stolen from
Charles D. Jones place on Randolph
street, near the hitching yard, Sum-
day afternoon, February 1lth, is
generally believed. In fact, some
of the articles were described by
Jones.
John Wise and Hugh Morgan are
the two negroes locked up on suspi-
cion of having stolen the money.
The bloodhounds brought here the
day after the theft were put on the
, scent at Jones house and trailed tc

negroes on suspicion. Investlga

HOW TO TELL A GOOD cow.

time. The scales and Babcock tests
are the best tests. BY these you weigh
the milk once a month and multiply
the pounds of milk given by the test.
After dividing by 100 and adding one
sixth you have the number OF pounds
OF butter the COW has given that
month. No other reliable way has been
discovered. The man who keeps pure
bred COWS and is not testing them is
making serious mistake"

HOME MERCHANT WILL
GIVE YOU A SQUARE DEAL
Obliged TO Live Up 60 Statements In
Home Psper-Mail Order Houses
That Do Not.

Proof that the home tradesman In
whatever line will give you fair treat
ment Is found In the fact that he does
not dare go behind his announcements
In the local paper. while many Of the
mail order concerns circulate adver-
tisements OF marvellous bargains"
which are nothing OF the sort. The
home merchant simply has to make
good" what he advertises, while the
tricky mail order house In city miles
away practices imposition because 1t
knows that It's victims whose eyes
hnye been opened will be replaced by
others who have yet to undergo that
painful operation
or course the home merchant who
does not advertise In his local ncwspa-
per loses the greatest business opportu-
nifty OF these enlightened times, which
enables him TO talk TO people who 9th
crwise might never visit his store. This
is progressive generation. ana n guard
against business failure is talking
about what you have to sell. No better
way OF doing this has been discovered
than 10y means Of advertising.
The home merchant Is not ashamed
to advertise what he wants you to
purchase. This argument Is not In
tended to apply to fraudulent mail or
der houses. They are shameless and
advertise to make big profits which
they do not deserve. In other words,
as has been said, they count on getting
new victims TO replace the old.
And so your advertising home mer-
chant means what he says. and when
you are convinced Of 1t and are suspi-
cious of the mail order bargains" why
not give him your support. which
means your patronage?
Surely the merchant who lives In
your midst and mt the same time has
faith enough in his goods to advertise
them and then to look you in the eye
is not going to practice extortion and
cheap fraud. Help the progressive
home merchant to get along He de-

THE GAME OF. SKAT

a convention which according to
Herman Ridder, the well known Ger
man editor, has within its power the
opportunity Ito accomplish n veritable
mission of culture" Is being held in
New York this week The object is to
seek to popularize in America the cell
ebrated German game of skat. at the
same time sidctracking the equally IA
nous game of poker, which does not
bring into play the same intellectual
qualities as the German game. Two
thousand players will sit in the games
at the convention. The occasion will
he the fftieth convention of the Nor
doestlicher Skat-Verband."
The game of skat,' says Herman
Ridder, us decidedly one of the noblest,
IL not the noblest, game of cards in the
world. 1t is adapted to sharpen the wit
and develop the intellect. 1t is just the
reverse Of those other games, which
have a deadening effect on the intel
lectual faculties. Skat cannot be
classed among the games of chance, as
good player Is able to utilize even
bad run Of cards in such way that he
does not lose anything. 1t therefore
bids fair to become substitute for
poker"

A small low trough accessible only to

little feed, preferably skimmilk or
thin middlings, with little oil meal
added, supplied. This mixture will
tempt the youngsters appetites. After
the young pigs are weaned they should
be well fed, provided with grassy
