I think that the following advertise
ments which we're in Thursday, March
6 edition Of the Ottumwa Courier were
very appropriate and think they were
a great inspiration to the buying pub
lie.
The advertisement of Cramblit &
Poling's men, gents, and boys spring
furnishings, on page two was very not
able on account of the exquisite fash
ion and pattern display which were
very leading to anyone desiring that
line of goods. .a.:.
On page seven in the advertise
ment of the Boston Shoe Co., note the
many beautiful patterns, styles and
exceedingly low prices of footwear for
all people, also how properly arranged
to show form, quality and beauty to
the advertisement.
On page eight you can see the Mel
son Cloak Co.'s grand advertisement
of ladies' and misses springs fairest
styles of exterior furnishings. Their
styles are so exquisite and patterns
so fitting that reading the ADVERTISE
ment is in reality purchase.
The reason that merchants advertise
is to make known to the people their
quality and kind of goods, prices ETC.,
as great inducements 80 the people
can know the best place to buy.

RUTH's RABBIT HUNT.

Dear Courier Juniors:-I have not
written to the Juniors for some time.
I thought would write them about my
rabbit hunt. .@.~
A few Saturdays ago my sister Ber-
nice and I went rabbit hunting while
papa and mamma we're in Ottumwa.
OF course we took Shep with us. Shep
soon chased one up and it ran into a
hollow log. Shep watched one end of
the log, Bernice watched the other end
while I went to the house to get an ak.
We cut a hole in the log and got 1t out.
Shep soon found another which he
gave to us and later we chased up an
other one which we got, making three
In all.
Papa and mamma got home just as
we got back and they were as surpris-
ed as we had been.
If any of the Junior girls can beat
this rabbit hunt wish you would
write it to the Courier SO could read
It.

Ollie

Davie had been one of the six small
and lively Sunday school scholars
whom teacher had taken for brisk
mid-winter walk cross-country through
fields and woods. Davie had seen
and heard much to take home to the
small shut-in sister whose only link
with the great outdoors he was, and
Davie was giving Dillie-that very
same small sister-a glowing account
of the trip, the woods they'd invaded,
the fields they'd crossed, the box-lunch-
con they'd eaten in the well-warmed
railway station, and a minute descrip-
ton Of the wonderful things Mr..
Sprague had told him were slumbering
in the big bunch of dry, dead twigs
and branchlets he'd so carefully
gathered and brought home to "Sister.
They'll all come out. he says, in
bits Of blossoms and little leaves,
Davie explained setting the bouquet
on the sunny south window-sill, close
to the big drum Of the always-going
kitchen stove. "if we'll keep 'em warm
and always in plenty of water; and
you're not to feel bad if it does take a
long while, but keep on hoping about

this is willow, and these are sassifras
and here's a sweet-gum. and here
whats this one?" asked the deep,
ly interested billie, pointing small
thin forefinger at an unsightly dry and
dusty, round, box-like object clingins
most tightly to thick twig.
"That's chryslis," answered Davie
"and he wouldn't 'xactly tell me what
that's going to be. But he says to
keep this one p'ticula1y warm and to
watch out for what's coming: and he
says it's to be little Dillie's Easter
Sunday-school Sermon"
So all these sometimes most weary
weeks Ollie had watched the buds on
her twigs slowly swell and gradually
unfold into coralline bloomlets, into
delicately lace-like deaflets; and great
was her delight when the stoutest
branchlets in her bouquet were strung
from end to end with silvery gray and
softly furry pussy-willows. And still
the big. coarse, raggedy gray bud on
the thick and Enthusiastically long-dead
twig gave never sign and hung on
its nail between the warm stove and
the sunny window, hopeless and for
gotten scrap from the woods.
BY Easter morning Dillie's winter

greatly admired as they were all
gathered round Dillie's couch, drawn up
before the sunny south window. Sud
denly there was queer, dry rustling
sound, and something shook and fit
tered on the wall behind them.
'It's the chrys'is,' cried Davie.
"Dillie's chrys'lis Is blooming; and
so it was! The dry, dusty, dead, bud
like object had burst open, and upon

"LEsTER" MARY's BROTHER.

Dear Editor-I thought would try
and write a story on the letter contest.
Twill write about my brother Lester.
He is a little boy four years old. He
is not very tall but he is chubby.
He weighs AZ pounds. He has black
hair and black eyes and rosy cheeks.
Sometimes when I tell him his
cheeks are red he says, I'm rose
bud"
He is always into mischief. He gets
nv dolls and hides them. Sometimes
we call him boss, because whenever
we want to play anything he always
wants to be the boss.
He has yellow dog. His name is
sport. He bitches him up to little
sled and lets him pull it around. -
He calls him his horse. He has
never gone to school yet but he knows
most of his letters and can count up to
ten.
He is going to start to school next
fall.
Well I will close for this time hop
ing to see my letter in print.

Outside and Inside Weather.

IN the morning, when our eyes pop
open early, very early,
And I'VE creep and creep to watch
the sun arise,
L he's hiding, and a cloudy sky, a.
glowering grim and surly,
Has mo streaming golden beaming
for our eyes,
Why, then, lightly as feather
Must our spirits dance together,
And our faces must be sunny all day
long;
For as fresh as Highland heather
We can make the inside weather,
When the outside seems to be SO
very wrong. "
But II with the outdoor sunshine all
the happy birds are singing,
And the trees are budding in the
glad, warm light,
And the arbutus is peeping from its
leaves tender keeping,
And the face of day is fresh and
sweet and bright,
Why, then, why not altogether
Make our faces match the
weather.
Fresh and sweet and bright and sunny
all day long!
For as fragrant as the heather
Is the charming outside weather,

more Juniors are becoming interested
in the name contests each week The
Judges are so very pleased with 1t.
This week the writer's can tell us
about some persons whose names
commence with IN" or IN" OF
course we have a great number OF
very interesting stories in the name
contest which have never been pub
lished. However, the writer's can ex'
pect to see their essays before very
long.
We expect to run the name contest
every week until we reach the end OF
the alphabet. We want all the Juniors
to write In this contest. The writer's
can select their prizes from among
the following articles:
A picture, book, box OF candy, mu-
sic roll, pocket knife, work box, doll
or roller skates.
II the Juniors fail to understand
3ust what a name contest means all
they have to do is to read some OF
the stories in today's Junior.

LOUISE ON ADVERTISING.

Upon reading the Juniors page OF
March Is, 1 noticed your suggestion OF
children's stories to be written on "Ad.
vertising"
Merchants can do no better than to
advertise in the Courier, as it has such
large circulation and it keeps the
merchants name and their goods be-
fore the public. It tells them what
they sell and when the best time is to
make special purchases. At this time
of the year people can be guided by
the Courier ads In making their selec-
lions for spring wearing apparel and
what they especially want for Easter.
The Courier ads not only gives per
son an idea what to buy, but also
where to buy it, and usually the adj
vertisements leads the customers to
where the most bargains are.
AS my story on advertising is get
ting long I must close.

He was born in Lucas, Iowa, Sep
TENDER 27, 1880. He. has brown hail.
and brown eyes.
In 1900 he went out to Montana and
when he was 10 years old he went
out on a homestead. He lived two
miles from the nearest house. The
house that he lived in was made OF
logs. 1t was so small that he said he
had to go outside to turn around.
He lived there one year and then
went to Butte Mont, to clerk for his
brother-in-liaw, Mr.. Lutz. 1t is the
largest store in the northwest. He has
worked there for ten years.
He visited the worlds fair in 1904
In 1908 he went to the Portland fail

was in an automobile and it upset and
