A Little Talk
AN EXPERT ON FAIRMoNT REAL
ESTATE PASSES REMARKS OF
INTEREST.

salarino:-"I know. Antonio is sad
10 think upon his merchandise"
Antonio:-" Relieve me. no. thank
my fortune forIt. My ventures are not
in one bottom trusted; nor to one
place. Therefore, my merchandise
makes me not sad"
AS It was with Shakespeare's An.
tonic. SO 1t should be With you today.
Invest your money and your credit
SO that fires cannot burn it to the
ground; so that floods cannot wash
1T away: so that combinations Of cap.
ital cannot put you out Of business,
and no matter how hard times may
get, nor how many banks may break,
your investment still will be as solid
as Gibraltar.
You have the advice of every sue.
ccssful financler since the world be.
ian, and that advice is: invest in real
estate. You also have the advice OF
men who have travelled around the
world, spending fortunes in search OF
greater wealth, and they tell you that
rairmont real estate ia the safest and
best proposition on earth.
1t does not matter what you think
about the value of property, 1t is what
the world things about It that deter.
mines it's value. L everybody knew as
much about the value of our Pittsburg
coal as the people are now learning
about 1t, the coal never would have
been practically given away. 1t was
the worlds estimate of its value that
has been adopted and not the farmers
.dca OF Its value.
When the best advice in the word
on investments Is to buy real estate.
and the best advice you can get on
the real estate to buy, is Fairmcnt. real
estate, why do you longer chase the
gold brick projects 81 Florida and the
Gulf Coast, or give attention to op.

one resource as against half score
which We possess. =. So
Emerson Hough in recent Satur-
day Evening Post, asked the question,
What is better security than the
grounds we stand on?f and then he
answered his own question by stating:
1T has been good security from the
beginning of civilization, and will be
good until its end. Our civilization
has been built upon the old Saxon
land lust. Allraces have fought for
this American ground We stand on.
The fight has narrowed down to the
individual OF the Saxon race. Since we

SIOUX CITY MAY QUIT.
Will Lose Franchise Unless Attendance
Improves-O'Nein There.

Sioux City. Ia, Aug. 2.-"Tip"
O'NeiII, president of the Western
League, is here to confer with the
owners of the Sioux City baseball
franchise over the discouraging s1tua-
ton here, following a season of cellar
baseball After a conference he gave
it out that if Sioux City fans would
not give the club better support in the
future, the franchise might be trans
ferred to either Colorado Springs,
Oklahoma City or Davenport"
Fans here do not seem inclined to
take seriously the threats of the own
ers to transfer the franchise. The
Sioux City Service company, which
owns the street car system, is said to
be ready to pay a fair sum for the
franchise.
Poor playing has cut down the at
tendance badly here and the fire of a
few days ago which burned the grand
stand at Mizzou park, brought the
situation to a Climax

Case Is Completed and Referee

Kansas City Mo-, Aug. with sem
timental verse did Henry Wilkinson,
60 years old, a. hardware merchant OF
Topeka Kan. bring to a close one OF
the many letters offered in evidence
Friday in the taking of testimony in
the $4,000 breach of promise suit
brought against Mr.. Wilkinson by Miss
Alenne Wilson of this city. The let
ter addressed Miss Wilson as My Dear
Niece" Mr.. Wilkinson admitted hav-
ing written the letter, but could not
explain his sudden outburst of poetry.
Il guess 1 must have been reading
Thomas Moore that day and that the
lines impressed me-" he said.
Did you mean them?" the attorney
for Miss Wilson asked.
Now, it is awfully hard for man
to remember if he meant poetry like
that" Mr.. Wilkinson replied.
Questioned as to his recent relations
with Miss Wilson, Wilkerson admitted
he had only been friendly with her
for six months.
Did you pay her bills during that
time?''
why, she was i'll and didn't seem to
have any friends was the answer. Il
couldn't see her suffer. In fact, my
attitude towards her at all times was
one of sympathy
Was it sympathy before her ill
ness?" he was asked.
Il would call it that" was the an
swer.
Mr.. Wilkinson said there had been
no open break in their friendship until
he filed a suit to repleVin the furniture
and an action to recover the house
at S11 Linwood boulevard, which Miss
Wilson insists are her possessions.
Both the breach of promise suit and
a suit brought against Wilkinson
by Miss Wilson to recover a motor car
which she said the defendant bought
for her and then took back were close.

BUY A BIG TRUCK.
City Will Spend $500 for an Auto
Truck.

Whatever else is purchased by way
of fire equipment, a big combination
chemical and hose motor truck will be
added to the city's apparatus in the
near future. A contract for the pur-
chase of the truck at a cost of SIS, 500
has been made with the American La
France Fire Apparatus company of
Elmyra, n. Y. The truck is to be
here in the next so days.
The new truck will take the place
of the team and hose cart that was
lost from the equipment of station No.
last month in being burned in a fire.
The new truck is rated at As horse
power but will develop 10 horse pow
er, it is said. 1t is a four cylinder en-
CINE having a bore of II inches and a
6 inch stroke.
The new car will be equipped with
Dayton airless tires, the tires being
used to save expensive blowouts. The
truck is electric lighted, has a search
light mounted on the dash and cleo
trio head and tail lights. A siren
similar to the one on the big motor
truck at headquarters will warn of the
approach.
The truck will have a chemical tank
of 40 gallon capacity. and will carry
two Babcock extinguishers. 1t will
carry $50 feet of chemical hose in
five sections. The truck also will be
equipped with an Invincible turret
two-way nozzle. arranged so that it
may be fed by two joint lines of hose
and turned in any direction where a
heavy stream is needed. 1t is one of
the facilities that is being added to
departments in the larger cities.
