The County Fair" given by
the freshmen Of Laclede high |
school at the school building
Saturday night was one Of the
most enjoyable and entertaining I
events of the season. The displays
were exceptionally fine and the
sideshows and other special features
were fully up to the usual standard. I
Everything was found just as ad-
vertised and their next animal fair
will probably be attended by an
even larger crowd: The receipts
Of the evening were over $27, and
The proceeds will be used for
school purposes.
The remarkably low prices made
by ]. w. Lomax & Co. for their
2 reat clearance sale have kept the
store thronged with shoppers and
5he clerks hustling. If you have
1ot yet taken advantage of these
special prices it is to your interest
% do so at once, as the sale will
lose Saturday night. In most Of

COMMERCIAL CLUB PROSPECTS
10 Meet Tonight to Perfect Organ
izatiOn Much Interest Shown

| @E9NANsA1
Have you joined the Commercial
| Club yet9 Whether you have or
not, you will be welcome at the
meeting of the club Friday night,
Jan. "a, at it's rooms in the Lomax
& Standby Bank building, when it
is expected that the permanent or
ganlzation will be effected.
Laclede and the surrounding
country have been missing some of
the advantages that they should
have enjoyed in the past and the
time and opportunity to change
are now here. 1t was almost by
accident that the White Cross State
Highway and the Capitol Trail
were brought to Laclede-though
some hard work was done by an
interested few-yet they are but
the beginning of an organized
movement for better highways in
this part of the state.
And this is but one of the ways
in which there is a chance to i'm
prove. A company has. been or
ganized at Trenton to furnish
electric power and light to this
part of Missouri from the Keokuk
dam, which will mean much to the
industrial development of the
territory through which it passes.
1t will be only few years until
electric inter- urban lines will be
helping the farmers to find quick
market for all their surplus pro-
duets at good prices and low freight
rates. Do we want to be left outH
Would we not prefer to have all
the advantages other people enjoy?
Conldn't-we enjoy them, toog 4,
We need an opera house, more
business buildings, more houses,
more people, steady employment
for more men, better roads, better
we need lots of things.
We can't get them all at once, but
we can get them sooner, and get
more of them, if the business men,
citizens and farmers will cooperate
and boost, boost, boost, all the
time.
Now if you do your part, and
your neighbor does his, and his
does the same, there will
be something doing, and it will be
10 your advantage, and his, and
9verybody's.
The Commercial Club is being
for purely business
Its sole purpose is to
make Laclede a better town to live
n, a better place to trade in and
;he center of a better and more
prosperous. farming community.
The interests of its citizens and the
'armers should be and are mutual.
rhe prosperity of Laclede depends
IN the prosperity of the community,
md vice versa.
Tt is just as important and
for the farmers to join
he Commercial Club and help
long in its aims as it is for the
business men and citizens in
GENERAL. All are equally interested
n the things for which the Com
nerciRl Club will strive, and all
re invited to attend the meeting
'riday night, when its purposes
nd aims win be mors fully ex-
lained. Come. and bring your
eighbors with you.

AWAY
YOUR EYEGLASSES

Free PreScriptiOn-YOu Can have Fill
ed And Use At Home.
Do YOU wear glasses? Are you a vic
tim of eyestrain of other eye weakness?
If so, you will be glad to know that
there is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had
their eyes restored through the princi-
pie of this wonderful free prescription.
One man says after trying it: Il was
almost blind: could not see to read at
all. Now | can read everything without
any glasses and my eyes do not water
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully; now they feel fine all the
time 1t was like a miracle to me-" 1t
was like a miracle to me-" A lady who
used it says. "The atmosphere seemed
hazy with or without glasses, but after
using this prescription for fifteen days
everything seems clear. / can even read
fine print without glasses" 1t is believ-
ed that thousands who wear glasses
can now discard them in a reasonable
time and m%ultitudes more will be able
to strengthen their eyes. so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions maye be wonderfully bene-
fitted by following the simple rules.
Here is the prescription: Go to any ac-
tive drug store and get a bottle of Optic
ma. to fill a two ounce bottle with warm
water, drop in n DIPLOMA tablet. and
allow to dissolve. With this liuid battle
the eyestwO to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up percep-
tab'y right from the start and inflamma
ton Will quickly disappear. If your
eyes are bothering you even a little take
steps to save them now before it is too
late. Many hopelessly blind might have
been saved if they had cared for their
eyes in time

Summer DOnt's. Don't forget
to take most careful inquiry into the
milk supply when selecting a place to
take the baby in the summer. If you are
going on a farm. try to select one where
a good grade of cows are kept rather
than a fancy breed of Jersey OF Hol-
stein. The milk from these cows is too
rich in fat or cream for the baby to di-
gest at almost any time, but it is Sc
p~ecially bad in the summer when the
digestive organs can stand very little
fat. See that the farmer is up to date
i'm caring for his animals. or make spe-
cial arrangements with him to let you
have the milk from two or three cows
which he will care for as you direct
and pay him extra for his trouble. The
sides. bag and udders of these cows
must be washed off with a clean, damp
Goth, before the cows are MIXED. and
the milkman must wash his hands with
hot water and soap. then rinse well be-
fore milking. See. that the milk is strain
ed into the receptacle in which it is to
be delivered. then rapidly cooled and
kept cool until it is put in your own ice

G.. w. FAIRCHILD BUYS INTEREST
IN STANLEY Ill. WATSONS FARM

III. Watson. its energetic editor.

paper. He and Mr.. Watson hope to make
the Valley Farmer second to none as an
organ Of this class. a paper that will

its readers the spirit Of progressivenesS
and cheer.

GRAPEFRUIT HERE
II. b. MOLER PRESENTS CLUSTER
OF TEN TO CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE TODAY.

That perfect grapefruit good for the
table, can be raised in this section is evi-
denced by a cluster of grapefruit pres
ented to the Chamber Of Commerce by
II. b. Moler of West Brownsville. The
cluster has ten grapefruit, weighing four
teen pounds. The fruit is declared to be
perfect and just as good as that brought
here from California or Florida. 1t was
raised by Mr.. MOltr ut his home i'll this
city.
j. p. Cottingham, a farmer near this
city, stated today that he has been rails
ing grapefruit on his place for many
years. principally for his OWL use. He
said it can be sold at a profit and that
it is unnecessary for the Lower Rio Gran
de valley to import grapefruit at all.
The fruit raised here is of the same
size as the imported and of the same
flavor and general appearance That on
exhibition at the Chamber of Commerce
has not yet ripened but will within Il
few days.
Frost sometimes kills the grapefruit
crop in both Florida and California.
but that is easily remedied for another
growth by cutting the tops and allowing
the tree to have Il new growth.
