KODAK.S

Are you thinking of buying z
Camera! If so it will pay ycu &c
investigate the Kodak.
Why7 Because the Kodak rep
resents the latest and best improve
ments known to amateur photo
graphy which took years of time
and study to work out
Eastman Kodaks are not copied
or patterned after other cameras,
but represent the original and best
ideas in the camera field today.
Eastman Kudalis are made so
simple that the smallest child can
operate them and if directions are
followed failures are an impossl-
biiity.
Why not get the best, the Ko-
dak, not something just as good;
the cost is no more.

The Municipal Building

As Va not stone has been laic
toward the construction OF our new
municipal building, contract for the
erection of which was let last July. 1t
was generally understood at that time
that work would be commenced about
the first of August What's the cause
of delay? The money has been secured
from the state and is drawing interest,
which is a feature too important to be
overlooked, and the city is in need of
the building. If for all time Of delay
there was a provision to the effect that
those causing the same should take
care of the interest, conditions would
be different.

Carriers Have Scales.

There will be no more guessing at
weights of rural parcel post packages,
because all rural carriers are to be sup
piled with tested postal scales. The
scales are all of The dial pattern and
weigh up to twenty pounds. Their use
will prove convenient to both carriers
and patrons, for the former can give
the correct weight of packages and the
senders will be able to purchase the re-
CURED amount of stamps without wait
ing to come to town or hand the money
to the carrier to buy the stamps at the
end of his trip.

Argyle's Harvest Day Boosters.

Tuesday afternoon our city was re-
called for about an hour with band
music. 1t was the result Of a visit
from boosters Of Argyle. They were
out to tell Of the grand harvest eay to
be held at that place on the Goth inst.
1t was a jolly, gentemanIy, booming
outfit and we enjoyed their presence.
Their coming was unheralded and as a
consequence our citizens were not pre-
pared to make it as entertaining for
them as they would like. It required
ten or a dozen autos to transport the
boosters.

increase the cattle herds at the two

sheep and cattle, it is claimed that
the state will not be compelled to
buy one pound of meat for the in
mates of the penal institutions.

essary to pay retail prices for the
meat fed to the Lansing prisoners.

ESQ sheep and goats, it is claimed
that sufficient meat will be provided
to meet all demands. The additions

ALL TO HIS FAVOR
Witnesses Quickly Clearing
O'Hara i'm Illinois Case.
Relieving immortality Charges
Against Official.

Chicago, May 12.-When the state
senate committee investigating an al
legation of immortality against Lieu
tenant Governor Barratt O'Hara re-
sumed its hearing today w. L. O'Con-
nell, treasurer of Cook county took
the witness stand. O'ConnelPs testi-
mony was confirmatory of that given
by the lieutenant governor on Satur-
day. 1t was through the former that
O'Hara received his first definite in
formation of the Maud Robinson aft
davit. O'COnnell said that he was
visited by Richard M. Sullivan, dep
uty sheriff, and a friend of Samuel
Davis a liquor dealer of Sprin gfield
ILL., with information of the existence
of the affidavit.
In effect, Sul1ivan's communication
was that unless O'Hara curbed the
vice investigation at Springfield the af-
fdavit would be made the basis OF
public charges, This document made
no direct charges of immortality, but
related circumstances which might be
construed as supporting such a charge
O'Connell talked the matter over with
O'Hara and in the end advised O'Hara
to let the alleged 'frameup" against
him run its course.
Members of the Press club testified
to O'Hara's presence at the club
rooms on the nights of January II
and IS. Records of the club were pro-
duced showing purchases made by the
lieutenant governor. John Zacharias,
captain of walters at the Hotel Sher-
man, where Duncan and wife" and
MILLER and wife" were registered,
swore to bar and cafe checks charged
against the suite occupied by Miss
Robinson and her woman companion,
on January II, IS and 49, Drinks
were served to as high as five persons,
but on no occasion did Zacharias see
more than one man there. He de-
scribed this person as blonde of
heavy build. O'Hara is dark and of
comparatively slight physique. The
food checks in no case contained rec
ords of portions for more than three
