West DEBORAH, occupied by Obr. Chr

The Hauge Barlow farm in Madi-

per acre and the John Anderson farm
in Orleans township for $140 per
acre. We did not learn the purchaser
of either of these farms, but just
note the price paid. That's a better
increase in value than could have
been made almost anywhere else.

Use the Parcels Post.

Local merchants should lose no
time in getting in touch with out of
town and rural customers by means
of the parcels post. The parcels post
has been pictured by many as an aid
TO the big mail order houses, but 1T
may be made weapon whereby the
retailer of the small city and coun-
try town can fight the mail order
houses at their own game and come
out victorious. The big mail order
houses have to depend largely upon
the SO called mail order. magazines
and catalogues to reach, prospective
customers, while the local merchants
of the cities and towns of any sec
ton can always reach the outlying
trade through the medium of the
newspapers of their communities.
Small and large storekeepers and
business men in DEBORAH and the
smaller towns in this section may get
in touch with prospective parcels post
patrons thru the use of Public Opin-
ion Want Ads. The Moline Dis
patch, for the benefit of Moline mer-
chants, cites an English custom to
illustrate how feasible is this plan.

in England.

amendment in the senate he did not
know what it was about. and only did
SO by request.

New kindergarten Home
Portable House of Canvas May Be
Purchased for Kindergartners
for Summer Months

H. A. Baldwin is considering the adj
visibility of purchasing a KNOCK
down House" in which his daughter,
Miss Dean, may hold the kindergarten
during the summer months.
This little house is made of canvas
with sides which may be rolled up
making an open-air school. 1t is ar
ranged with four small rooms and one
large one making ample space for
school purposes. The house is portable,
and can be used wherever it is most
convenient and pleasant. Such a place
would do away with the coming up
town of the small pupils, and make
comfortable quarters during the warm
weather.
The kindergarten opened most aus
piciously yesterday morning with an
enrolment of over twenty enthusiast
tic youngsters. The success of the
movement seems absolutely assured.
