The business of the Rock Island for
the month has been the best we have
had for some time. The Rock Island
people have made lots OF improve
ments on their property here for the
past two years They have their de-
pot painted both inside and out, I'M
til 1t will compare with many we have
seen in larger places. 1t is furnished
with fire protection, both inside and
out of the building. The section fore
man, Mr.. Top, has the weeds and
grass cut on the entire yard on both
tracks in a way that Is commendable.
We are glad to see our people appre-
ciate their effort by giving them their
business, and hope by close applica.
ton to business to see 1t continue so.
The want ad department of the
Herald is getting larger, but still has
ample room for more.
The change in the weather has had
the desired effect in making our fe-
males add clothes to their wearing ap-
parel. So much, so good.
Farmers in this locality are looking
for apple buyers to come around.
Providence is good in some case, but
we never knew it to keep the weeds
out of our garden or furnish money to
buy bread and butter with, so we sug-
gest using the Herald want ads to
dispose of their apples, for it never
fails to bring desired results. Try it
once. R. w. .
