FINE IMPROVEMENTS
MADE BY HENKEL EGO.
In the RemodeIing of Their
Business Block.
Second and Third Floors VIII be 0e-
cupied by New Tenants Ahcaz
First of June.

H. Henkel & Co. have been very
quietly making all kinds of aItera-
tions and improvements in the bhrea
story brick block in which their store
is located, SO quietly that many are
unaware of what has been in progress.
A broad and handsomely finishe6
oak open stairway leads from the,
central part of the store to the secorda
floor. an addition to the rear OF the
store having been built to furnish ac--
commodation therefor and to furnish
the necessary light. This als@ pro-
vides much needed light for the
grocery and bookkeeping departments
The second floor has been eabixelg
remodeled., the rooms made over iato
entirely different shapes and sizes,
with new furnishings and Polished
hardwood floors. walls repapersd, etc.
etc. So great is the change that
persons familiar with the old order
of things would scarcely recognize is
as the same place.
The front rooms on the second deer
have been especially fitted up for Mrs
F. G. BUR-. who will occupy ia with
her millinery store about June fst.
and it will make handsome and Gem
modious quarters for her With
facilities for a millinery display in
the windows of the Henkel 6 Co.
store, below. The millinery depart
ment can be reached conveniently
from the store.
In the rear of the millinery de-
partment, rooms have been elegap thy
fitted up by Henkel & Co. to be used
for their carpet and rug department.,
which will hereafter be made an i'm
portant feature of their business. a
commodious wash room and toilet
room adjoining has also been provided
The third floor rooms have been
fixed up, repapered. painted and re-
modelled for the Farmers Telephone
Co.'S. central exchange and they also
will occupy them about June 1st.
The entire building will be steam
heated by new plant recently in
stalled.
These alterations add much to the
beauty and convenience of the store,
and are the elimination of the i'm
provement plans upon which the.
Messrs. HenksI have been at work
ever since they became owners of the
building, last summer, and adds one
more to the list of Lancaster business
places that have been made over in
modern style during the past couple Of
years.

the best kind of soil for it, and it is
the most profitable hay or field crop
which can be grown. Some Waukesha
county fields averaged a return of over
800 per acre last season. It is neces

cultures can now be- obtained for
this purpose SO that the more laborious
method of hauling soil FROM an old
alfalfa field is not necessary. Crushed
limestone also helps to insure catch

Opportunity Still Open.

The purchased farm of today is a
petIer proposition than the free lands
OF generation ago, when almost
every homesteader had to mortage his
land as soon as he received full title.
FARMING was no snap IN those days.
The work was harder and the returns
IN money very much less than now.
Loo many men are inclined to look
backward to the time when, as they
think of it, this country was land
OF opportunity when anybody could
go out and grab a fertile farm by the
simple process of building a shack on
1T and filing his papers in the nearest
land Office, when the young man
might have attached himself to some
infant industry, and scared TO afflu-
ence on the wings of the natural in
crease in the trade. Now he feels
that the busy marts and broad acres
are crowded, and there is no longer a
chance for a poor man to get any.
where
But oil Ter men with good memories
do not want any more of the old times
in theirs. They know that the op-
portunities are better now than they
were then. This is land of op-
portunity now in larger and more
universal sense than every before.
Business is larger now, and the re-
wards are larger for those who de-
liver the goods. And what applies
to the larger institutions, is also
pertinent in other lines where the
holdings are smaller. There are not
the free farms. to be sure, but the
land which costs something is worth
the price and the boy who buys it with
the sweat of his brow is likely to find
much larger rewards for his efforts

Dipping Sheep in Spring Kills Tick:
and Lice.

In order to kill ticks and lice and
thus promote the health of the skin,
and also further the growth of wool,
dip sheep every spring. advises Frank
Kleinheinz, shepherd of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin, in reply to many letters recent
~ received. Dipping is too often
neglected by flock owners, with the
result that the sheep are annoyed
day and night and are kept busy
rubbing against every post and
corner, with consequent loss of flesh.
A warm. sunshiny day. at least
ten days after the sheep have been
sheared, should be selected for this
work. 1t should preferably be done
in the morning so as to give the
sheep chance to dry out before
night. Any one of the many coal
tar dips may be used if the directions
accompanying them are carefully fol-
lowed.
There are several forms of watts but
the majority of flock masters use one
made of galvanized iron. The size
of the vat necessarily depends upon
tie size of the flock. A draining pan
should be so arranged that all the
dip which runs off the sheep while
they are dripping is returned into
the vat.
1t is not necessary for the head to
get into the dip. since the sheep can
keep it free of ticks or lice by rubbing
or scratching. Furthermore, it is
best if no dip get into the mouth,
eyes or ears. However. all other
parts of the body up to the head
should he kept in the dip not less
than one minute. The dip will be
most effective if the solution is luke
warm, and the sheep will then not be
chilled while in it.

Advertising for the Man Of Sinai
Capital.

The smaller dealers in any line OF
business sometimes say they can't
afford to advertise. Did they but
realize it, though, they are just the
ones who have peculiar reasons in
their business why they can and must
advertise.
The man, with a small capital
cannot afford the most expensive
location. He cannot pay a high price
for the good will of some long
esta blished and profitable business.
He must start, on some less favur
able location, often on some side or
back street, or in some crowded and
cramped quarters
This situation, however, has
distinct advantages Of its own. pro7id-
ed he knows how to utilize them. His
rentals in the side street or less
favorable location are of course much
below those paid by the long establish
ed place of business. They constitute
a smaller charge on his expense ac-
count. If ne can but get people to
coming to his place of business, he is
on better than ever terms with the
old store.
1t has been demonstrated over and
over again that people will walk all
over a town to hunt up a store that
seems to give unusual values. They
rather enjoy poking around out of the
beaten track. led by the fun of
bargain hunting. After they get
their purchase, they boast of it to
their friends, as a sample Of their
superior knowledge of how to meet
the cost of living, and better
familiarity with what is doing in
town.
The essential element to COM
plete this connection is advertising
People will pass dozen non -advertis-
ing stores to hunt down the remote
one that tells about things it is
doing. Don't expect, however, that
a simple card telling your firm name,
street and numb Der, will have the full
effect. You must describe some of
the things you are selling and tell
the price, and thus give the reader
chance to judge for himself.

Solons Want Frogs Protected.

Wisconsin surely has some freak
Legislators. A session or two ago a
bill was pushed to protect rabbits
that in many sections do great damage
to young orchards and now the Spoor
bill to protect frogs seems quite like
ly to become a law The bill has
been favorably recommended by the
senate committee on state affairs. 1t
passed the lower house by an over
whelming vote. The bill provides that
it shall be unlawful for any person
within the state ito take, catch or
kill any frog, or have in his posses-
sion any living or dead frog, or parts
of frogs, or to sell or offer for sale or
to ship or offer to receive for ship
ment any living or dead frogs or
parts of frogs between Nov. 1 and
June 1 next following =" The bill
also makes it unlawful for an hotel.
restaurant, boarding house, club or
private family to use or serve as food
the hind legs of frogs at any time.
Many restaurants, cafes and hotels
have protested against this provision
of the bill. The state university may
use frogs at any time for scientific
and educational purposes, but this
exception is not exten ded to colleges
of the state. During the last few
years thousands of frogs have been
caught in Wisconsin for the Chicago
New York, and other big markets.

WANT TESTAMENT
READ IN SCHOOLS
Interesting Discussion Comes Up for
Consideration in Anniston-Min-
listers Sign Petition

Admission, March 13-lSpecial. Bring
ing to a close the discussion between
the city board of education and the An
niston Pastors union as to who should
properly give out for publication COM
munication from the pastors in regard
to the reading of the Bible in the public
schools, Superintendent d. r. Murphey
Wednesday afternoon gave out the COM
munication. which requests that the New
Testament be read in the schools.
The petition is signed by Rev. s. e.
Hodges, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, chairman; DR.. w. f. Marlborough,
Barker Memorial Baptist church; Frank
w. Brandon First Methodist church. and
Rev. DR.. j. II. Spearing, president of
Noble institute. 1t maintains that the
reading of the Old Testament exclusively
and the failure to read the New Testa-
ment constitutes compromise and puts
the New Testament in the light of nom
essential part of the scriptures.
All comment of sectarian character
is barred from the exercise attendant
upon the opening of the schools, and 1T
is held that If the New Testament were
read an objection might be raised on the
part of some of the schools patrons
However, the question promises to offer
an interesting topic of discussion.
